11:07 An exmination of the thinking within the Trump administration, campaign and family is the focus.
Ivanka Trump stated an obvious in that the election had not been called and votes were still being counted. If one person has to be assigned the responsibility of lies and unrest it is Trump himself. He made public speeches based in lies to facilitate recounts.
Mr. Stirewalt stated clearly the vote of 2020 in the presidential election went to Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
Bill Barr stated on election evening there were large shifts to favor Democratic votes because of mail in and absentee ballots. He also stated this was somewhat predicatable because Democrats normally use those types of voting more frequently than Republicans. Any early return is considered "The Red Mirage."

Bill Stepien, former Trump campaign manager, stated the loss was possible to Donald John Trump, but, it was ignored and Trump called for an end to counting ballots.
These testimonies by Bill Stepien are video taped earlier as he is unable to be at the committee's meeting today (click here).
Arizona came into view as one that would be lost to current President Biden. Arizona in the past has been a strong constituency for Republicans. FOX News, editor Mr. Stirewalt states their computer findings on election eve was working and returning excellent predictions. He goes on to make testimony that rarely do their FOX News predictions prove wrong. He has a definite understanding of how these predictions are moved if at all in counting ballots submitted by the American people. His experience in predicting elections has come to play in 2020 and his confidence in his ability to understand how an election might shift to the other candidate clearly understood. He is an expert and with that submits opinions in confidence.
Bill Stepien's testimony includes many names of people involved in the election and with that an understanding of the expertise of those within the campaign. He states clearly, again out of experience, the chance there were significant number of ineligible voters. He states there are to few clearly ineligible voters.
Bill Stepien states clearly a new legal team was put in place by Trump to his campaign after it was determined to be a lost election. Trump changed staff at a point where Trump was recording low ratings via polls.
Bill Stepien states he was concerned, as Trump Team Normal, about the public statements from the Guilliani Team. He didn't think the Guiliani Team was appropriate.

Guiliani comes out with statements of witnessed ballot stuffing from Democrats, including, shopping carts full of ballots for Joe Biden. The Guiliani Team, Sidney Powell specifically stated the algorhithm used for prediction of the election was broken.

Eric Herschmann, (click here) a lawyer who represented former President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial and later became a central figure in battles over the election results, left behind a $3.3 million partnership share at Kasowitz Benson Torres to join the Trump White House last year, according to a newly filed financial disclosure.
Herschmann had been working at Kasowitz Benson for more than 24 years when he left in August 2020 to become a senior adviser to Trump. He reported earning $3,313,154 from the firm, according to the financial statement....
Bill Barr, as US Attorney General, was asked to come to the White House to examine Trump's evidence of fraud. Bill Barr clarified the inappropriate nature of the request Trump had for the DOJ to prosecute the fraud Trump unearthed. Bill Barr made it clear bringing charges was the place of the campaign. Mark Meadows and Jared proposed the idea that Trump was slowly coming to a reality Trump lost the election. The 23rd and weekend of 29th of November revealed a deteriorating Trump in his demands of election fraud according to AG Barr. AG Barr stated there was no evidence to support the claims of fraud by Trump. He stated this to authorities, the public and the former president. "We have not seen fraud on a scale that would effect the election." AG Barr stated to his secretary to begin packing because he was confident he would be fired by Trump. Mark Meadows stated Trump was very angry. AG Barr stated he never saw Trump as angry as he was that day.
AG Barr stated he was very aware of the Detroit ballot counting method of 630 precincts and there was no fraud in Detroit. He stated the claims against Dominion Voting machines (click here) were not valid. AG Barr stated the continued claim of voting fraud was a disservice to the country. December 14th AG Barr stated Trump was insisting there was fraud with the voting machines. The report Trump referred to was suppose to be so conclusive it would provide him a second term. AG Barr did not find the report very professional and did not believe it exhibited fraud in a way that would change anything. AG Barr states in testimony he never found fraud in the election then or now, even the "2000 mules" story (click here).
The producer/director of "2000 mules" needs a peer review.
Ballot Harvesting - Those claiming it are illegitimately doing so. Any elected official claiming ballot harvesting needs an ethics review.
Ballot harvesting (click here) is the practice in which political operatives collect absentee ballots from voters’ homes and drop them off at a polling place or election office. It may sound pretty innocuous, but this practice can and has been abused across the country. We saw this play out in the 2018 midterm elections in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District when a political operative abused the process of harvesting ballots, which resulted in the North Carolina State Board of Elections to call for reelection....
AG Barr resigned as of December 23, 2020. (click here)
Rep. Lofgren is presenting the evidence about voting and voting machines considered to be fraudulent and criminal. People all along the way continued to examine all the claims by Trump of false outcomes for one reason or another and found they were baseless.
When does someone charge Trump with fraudulent claims?
Ten minute break.

Severe storms (click here) have slammed much of the central United States in recent weeks with rounds of damaging winds, hail as large as softballs and isolated tornadoes repeatedly impacting the same locations. This week, AccuWeather forecasters anticipate more of the same....
Just a reality check. The claims of hail storms and tornadoes and subsequent damage are not false during June 7 through 10. I don't want to know the crop damage in Nebraska from hail storms. Department of Agriculture needs to check with Nebraska and emergency status of their crops. The world cannot tolerate any loss of Nebraska grains and otherwise.
Attorney General Barr began to be concerned about the mental health of the former president with his repeated and daily questioning and refusal of the facts of the election results. Realizing Attorney General Barr was leaning into the election results in a way that would not allow fraud by Trump. In that is a reality for this election and all others in that anyone claiming fraud would have to have profound proof otherwise the federal authorities will most likely uphold the first election results. States are not alone in reporting election results.
12:15 pm Committee reconvened, Ms. Lofgren continues, witnesses sworn in.
Byung J. "Bjay" Pak former US Attorney of Atlanta. He was asked by AG Barr about election fraud especially about a suitcase of ballots that was supposed to exist. Georgia found no evidence of fraud. The suitcase of ballots from under the table was actually an official lockbox where ballots were safely maintained. The lockbox was opened a second time to continue counting. Guiliani stated lockbox was a smoking gun. The reality is completely the opposite.
FBI became involved and determined nothing irregular occurred and the allogations by Guiliani was false. Why wasn't Guiliani prosecuted for fraud? It is a burden to the people to continue to entertain the false allogations.
Richard Donaghue gave testimony claims as unproven.
Mr. Pak stated all claims of voter fraud was never enough to undermine the determination of college electorates assigned to President Biden.
Former AG continues to testimony about the claims by Trump of voter fraud. The Philadelphia vote was challenged as far too many voters than is usually cast, that was a false claim. Why are the people claiming there is fraud within the voting system not prosecuted for fraud themselves. It is not like it is one place that fraud was found, these are stories across every one of the "swing state" votes. Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania so far. Al Schmidt states the questions regarding the Philadelphia vote was taken every seriously and nothing was found to be wrong that would change the outcome of the vote.
These are premeditated attacks against sovereign states of our federal elections. There were no dead people found to be voting and all election machine fraud is completely bogus. When are these people going to be prosecuted for leveling false claims? Donald John Trump actually threatened Mr. Schmidt's life and that of his family with highly detailed information to make the threat very real.
Rep. Lofgren apologized to Mr. Schmidt for what occurred that deeply threatened him. An apology is not enough. It is good to apologize, but, false claims that attack a vote systemically must be prosecuted.
Mr. Ginsberg, an election lawyer, analyzed the post election litigations of Trump. He testifies to the process of challenging election results. The campaign is the place where complaints would be made.
l. The election of 2020 was not close.
2. The Trump campaign brought claims without evidence.
3. There was never an instance where the Trump campaign had a valid complaint about the 2020 elections. They never made their case.
Opportunity of being in court was allowed and the complaints were dismissed for a variety of reasons, including, the complaint was brought by other than the campaign. Post election reviews of the six battleground states found no credible evidence of fraud (or irregularities) by Trump campaign or supporters. Trump Campaign had a false narrative. 61 cases of fraud were false. That is not an accident.

61 losses

The Trump Campaign false claims resulted in the lawyers bringing the claims disciplined by their professional state boards. That is not enough. Trump, via the AG Barr testimony, was responsible for carrying the false claims over and over.
It seems as though Trump lawyers take the fall for his law breaking, ie: Michael Cohen and now the campaign lawyers. This shows a pattern that requires legal review to Trump's strategic approach to government power and it's use. It is time to hold Trump responsible for making these claims in the first place. There were not simply voters finding irregularities, they were all gathered and created these complaints.

Money was flowing in during these claims. Large amounts of money went to a Save America PAC that subsequently donated the monies back to Trump and his organizations and businesses including payoffs to Mark Meadows. False election claims facilitated these DIVERTED donations.
Small dollar donors deserve the truth about their donations and the Trump Campaign defrauded these donors as well as larger donors.
East to Hershman stated all he wanted to hear wsa "Orderly Transition" rather than continued threats to the peaceful transitions of power of the USA.
The January 6th Committee has proven to be a committee of integrity in encompassing all the people that were defrauded by Trump.
The Garland DOJ needs to establish a Special Prosecutor to carry out necessary charges to protect the USA from such abuses ever again by Trump and his minions including Hershmann. It is outrageous that one man would abandon his own business to attempt a coup of an election. Hershmann needs to be contended with as a facciliator of an attempted coupe. The legal profession should be up in arms at this insult to them and to the country.
