Jan 6th insurrection committee testimony

[AAM2012]

Anyone watching?

I have tears listening to officer Fanone, I’m glad he is expressing his anger towards those who deny or downplay what happened.

I could only watch for a little bit before work. I saw Cheney's statement

[heat40]

Just turned it on. I’m glad the insurrection is once again all over the news. I was worried it was being pushed to the side as if it were an unfortunate but regular event.

Who is that guy sitting behind Officer Hodges?

[redheadk]

It is hard to listen to. Even having watched that day, viewing videos and pics, reading accounts, listening to the testimonies from their perspectives just really drives it all home.

[redheadbaker]

Oh my god, Officer Dunn's testimony. Heartbreaking.

[anodyne]

We are so broken.

I haven't been able to watch any of it. Thank you to those of you who have identified testimonies by people like Officers Fanone and Dunn that I/we may want to go find video of in order to catch up. Keep 'em coming.

Mitchy didn’t bother watching because he had to wash his pantyhose.

There's now a clear path for officials from former President Donald Trump's administration to testify before Congress about the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the events that preceded it.

The Justice Department has notified former government officials that it has consulted with the White House counsel's office and that it "would not be appropriate to assert executive privilege with respect to communications with former President Trump and his advisers and staff on matters related to the committee's proposed interviews," according to a person who has read the letter from department official Bradley Weinsheimer.

It looks like c-span has the full video and some clips.

I watched parts of it. Very powerful testimony. They all seemed to want answers of who all at the top was responsible/assisted/etc and wanted them held accountable.

[Velar Fricative]

Everything I’ve seen and read is so disturbing. And of course insurrection supporters accuse them of being leftist plants.

[bronxgirl]

I didn't get to watch anything live, but I saw clips of the officers' testimony. It was so powerful, compelling , and heartbreaking. And so incredibly rage inducing that the sociopathic Republicans and their savage sycophants still haven't faced consequences. I'm glad Jim f'ing Jordan and co. weren't there to create a circus and yell at the traumatized officers.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the end goal in having this investigation?

It's gut wrenching to see these videos again and hear the testimony, but it really makes me feel sick that the people who NEED to see/hear all of this are the ones turning a blind eye and continuing to pretend it didn't happen the way it did.

To have an official government record of what did or didn't happen, so that the rewriting of history isn't so easy.
