My husband took today off to watch it live so I didn't have to give him the play-by-plays while he's at the station (this isn't allowed on their TVs due to "political issues").

Mo Brooks & Matt Gaetz both had requested pardons. Matt Gaetz had been pushing for one since early December as a "blanket" referencing back to Nixon. 

Biggs did as well, Jordan had talked about it but didn't request. Louie Gohmert did as well. MTG reached out to the White House for one.

These low rent fuckers.

By requesting pardons, doesn't that implicate that they knew what they were doing was illegal/treasonous?

[suburbanzookeeper]

According to Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) talked to the White House about pardons on the matter at hand (though not necessarily for himself).. and then was going to try and serve on this committee.

Mo Brooks just released he's willing to meet with the January 6th Committee if his terms are met.

& Mo Brook's full email regarding pardons:

Something about the casual nature of the "Sent from my iPad" on that email is just.... next level. Like, you can't even treason from an actual computer?

They’ll just say they knew the CoRrUpT dEmOcRaTs would abuse their power so they needed a pardon even though they were doing the right thing 🙄

That's essentially the gist of the Mo Brook's email.

Am I the only one who keeps reading, "Mel Brooks?"

I apologize that this question doesn't add value to this string, but every.single.time I see it I have to say, Mo-NOT-MEL-MO. Every time.

I can't take him seriously for many reasons, but that is the first.

So much came out today that some how never got even leaked to the press. I don’t remember ever hearing about Jeff Clark. There were constant reports in December of how 45 was embarassed and hiding. No he was working and doing terrible shit.

I definitely heard about Jeff Clark and what he did. My big question is why the DOJ searched his home NOW. I want to think the DOJ has been doing their own investigation but maybe they haven’t been?

I’m so curious about that too. I feel like today was such a bombshell day. How could any of this be legal for trump to do?

On a side note this is why Texas politics are so fucked. This is Gohmert’s last term because he gave his seat to challenge Paxton for AG of Texas in the primary. It’s bad when both are shit choices.

I am really curious about this because they were not supposed to have the next hearing until July.  I really wonder what has come up to do a hearing while they are on recess.

Twitter is killing me. According to verified folks who have heard leaks, it’s a really big deal (provided, of course, the leaks are true.)

I am expecting the witness to make a dramatic entrance through double doors in slow-mo. They better be good.

[heat40]

that there are absolutely no leaks, makes me think this is big! the only thing I've read is that the witness will bring with them an entourage of lawyers. I'll be rushing home from wherever I am tomorrow to watch this for sure.

ETA: it is Cassidy Hutchinson senior Aide to Mark Meadows

[Velar Fricative]

Was just about to post the alert! So much for keeping it a secret until tomorrow.

She has already testified so I’m guessing they’ve uncovered something very recently that she can corroborate. Lordy, I hope there are tapes!

[suburbanzookeeper]

My guess is they have something they can link with her testimony and the documentary footage - something they can concretely confirm.

Adjusted the title - here we go!

Omg. Trump was aware some people in the crowds had weapons, thus couldn’t be let in to where he was going to give his speech without going through metal detectors. and he responded, let my people through they’re not here to hurt me, take the detectors away!

Holy shit
