6/28 Pop-up January 6th Hearing

[Velar Fricative]

I had a stupid meeting and missed a bunch, but came back just in time about Trump lunging at the driver. OMG.

[Pom]

Apparently, yam toddler thinks he's a New Jersey Housewife. LOL

That was my first thought!! 

[bronxgirl]

While nothing Trump does should shock me, I'm still shocked at his personal violence to/ in front of his staff. (lunging at his driver an smashing plates). Given this shitshow, I'm surprised even more people weren't hurt.

[Pom]

And my power is off.

Just when you think we’ve seen the bottom of the depravity….

[suburbanzookeeper]

His plate throwing was documented for years:

[Michelle]

Wow, looks like Mary Trump's book allegations are gaining credibility by the minute (i.e. toddler tantrums).

This is absolutely bananas. Holy Shit.

I probably disagree with this young woman on nearly every political issue, but have respect for her being willing to testify. Her life is absolutely in danger with this testimony. As a 25 year old, she is doing something that almost no one else is willing to do…tell the truth, under oath.

Let's be clear, no one testifying at these hearings is doing it because they want to. This is the only option they see to possibly avoid prosecution.  They are all monsters.

[pinkyp]

"Ketchup" is trending now on Twitter.

What a fucking shitshow.

[Pom]

I think his “let my people in” words are most damning. He admits he is a white supremacist leader of these traitors and insurrectionists. (I mean most of us knew that already) but maybe some of those independent voters will hear it.

Exactly. Idgaf if she's a young woman, she put herself in that orbit. Don't go all soft, people.

Oh FFS. I take the fifth. Fuck Flynn.

She could have pled the 5th like everyone else, though.

Meadows and Trump didn’t care that the rioters were there and wanted to hang Pence.

[Pom]

From Heather Cox Richardson Twitter:

“Cipollone barged into Meadows's office, and said "The rioters have gotten to the Capitol, we need to go get the president," Mark said "he doesn't want to do anything, Pat." Mark: "Someone's going to die and the blood is going to be on your effing hands.:" #HATH

Meadows have CH his phones and said "Let me know if Jim calls." Jordan did call. She opened door to dining room. Showed Meadows the phone and took phone talking to Jim. She heard those in Oval dining room taking about Hang Mike Pence chants. #HATH“

I keep reminding my husband that all of these people are horrible.  You may be doing the "right thing" now but you willingly went to work for the Trump administration/campaign.  you get no credit from me.  Most are just trying to save themselves.  She worked for Jordan, Scalise, etc.  before the WH.  Those are deliberate choices.

[Pom]

As a reminder, trump's statement to these criminals at the Capitol that was "we love you, you're very special"

When they were introducing her and explaining who all she worked for, my thought was “so she’s a garbage human by choice” this is just her saving her own ass.

I feel like I can appreciate the fact that she is someone who isn't pleading the 5th but also think she sucks. Those are some unabashedly terrible Rs she worked for. If she worked for, like, Mitt Romney or someone else who's not full blown MAGA, I might just think she's someone trying to climb up the DC political ladder but she worked for shitheads instead.

I laugh every time Rudy is mentioned because he ALMOST DIED!!! on Staten Island the other day when a ShopRite worker tapped him on the back. But January 6th is A-OK.

Mark Meadows said this, or Pat Cipollone said this?

Holy shit. Trump’s team is threatening witnesses.

That’s absolutely why she’s here today.

[Pom]

Oh the committee is confirming people who testify are being “threatened” by trump crime mob.

I Googled this a couple of weeks ago and discovered it means "Historians at the hearings."

1. I think Mark Meadows said it

2. CH is Cassidy Hutchinson. She was today’s witness and she’s a senior aid to Meadows and he gave her his phones.

3. #HATH means Historians at the hearings. Heather Cox Richardson is a historian and I pulled this from her Twitter.

#HATH = Historians at the Hearings

I think that is a typo, Meadows gave CH (his assistant) his phone(s) and asked to be notified if Jim Jordan called.

ETA: Ditto everyone else

[basilosaurus]

Is this the only time they had everyone else stay seated so security could escort out a witness?

[underwaterrhymes]

While I think this woman has some garbage ideas, there have been other people who have testified who have clearly done so under duress and not provided as much solid information.

I can acknowledge that she and I would not agree on much of anything, while also feeling that what she did today was very brave.
