1:00 pm
The committee convenes.
Chairman Thompson focuses on the vote and the fact Donald Trump attempted to coup the USA peoples' choice for president simply because it wasn't him.
1:05 pm
Co-chairwoman Cheney speaks to the interview of Mr. Cipollone (click here). President Trump was manipulated by others and why he continues to carry on like a spoiled brat. Really? Trump wants people to believe he was manipulated? As president to the USA he was manipulated by at the very least by Vladimir Putin. So, there might be some truth that he was manipulated and the very reason why he should never sit in the Oval Office again.
l. Evidence team lead by Giuliani knew they had no legitimate challenge to the elections of 2020.
2. Millions of Americans have to accept the fact Donald Trump lied to them and the election of 2020 is legitimate.
1:10 pm Rep. Murphy speaking and introducing the facts that the "Big Lie" is exactly that.
She said there is evidence that Trump deceived the American people by seeking cooperation with corrupt officials in his administration. That cooperation rarely occurred in those final days of the Trump administration. Trump asked for courage from all people he believed to be involved and invested, including Vice President Pence. January 6th was a call to arms, literally, to carry out a coup knowing there was no evidence of the 2020 election pointing to his winning the presidency.
Rep. Murphy will show the evidence instead to the extreme measures carried out by Trump and his minions to carry out a coup.
1:14 pm Rep. Jamie Raskin
There was an unhinged meeting by Trump at the White House to carry out the coup.
A 1:22 am tweet put forward the movement of his followers to bring about a coup. Alliances were formed before this time to carry out the coup in a physical movement of violence by groups of followers that were already organized as White Supremacists or election organizations.
Politicians whipping up crowd violence has a place in USA history, but, all failed when attempted. Those that would seek the violence will violate all those that accept democracy and the peaceful transfer of power.
1:19 pm
306 to 232 Electorate College count (click here)
McConnell accepted the Electoral College outcome.
Many told Trump to accept the defeat and concede. Eugene Scalia attempted to encourage Trump to accept the outcomes. Scalia allowed there were legal processes and once they were done, the current vote would stand.
There was an interview of Mr. Cipollone for 8 hours. He stated that Joe Biden was President - Elect and Trump was advised to concede as the White House council. He states he did not act politically, but, as someone who could provide good advice to Trump.
Barr thought there would be a new administration.
Cipollone stated Mark Meadows understood there was a defeat by Trump. Meadows stated that within the area where Mr. Cipollone heard him.
Former press secretary to the White House, Kayleigh McEnany stated she was planning for a new direction outside of the White House because Trump was defeated.
Ivanka Trump states she had a sentiment that she would be no longer involved with the Trump White House.
Another Trump team member stated any litigation was closed according to Deere.
Barr stated the social media of Dan Scavino was asked how long Trump was going to carry on about the Big Lie. Scavino and Jared stated they were working on ending the continued "Big Lie."
Cassidy Hutchinson also thought the "Big Lie" would end.
Pat Cipollone states everyone, including Trump, was obligated to abide by the courts. He believed that was the president''s obligation. He was the administrator of the Rule of Law from the White House. Obviously, he failed to do that on multiple fronts.
1:31 pm Raskin
Voting machines were not delivering false reports. Barr stated that any indication there was a false reporting was wrong. December 1 stated by Barr the election results were accurate and Pat Cipollone agreed.
Barr stated that the DOJ would never seize any voting machines and that was the end of it as far as Barr was concerned.
There would be a meeting subsequently with Trump advisors to begin the plot to seize machines outside the power of the DOJ. Trump was to name Sidney Powell as a Special Council to seize the machines. Pat Cipollone was not impressed that Sidney Powell was to be appointed to a Special Council. Cipollone adhered to Barr's statement and basically rejected the Big Lie. "Put up or shut up." Sounds right. There are ways to contest elections but seizing election machines was not a proper method.
Cipollone stated there was no evidence he requested to see that supports a Special Council.
...A former member (click here) of President Donald Trump’s legal team told the Jan. 6 committee that former Army colonel Phil Waldron first came up with the idea of Trump issuing an executive order to seize voting machines, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Earlier this month, Bernie Kerik — who worked with Rudy Giuliani on Trump’s legal efforts to find evidence of voter fraud — told the select committee that Phil Waldron originated the scheme, which would almost certainly have been illegal. A person familiar with Kerik’s testimony, who was not authorized to discuss it publicly, described it in detail to POLITICO....
Rusty Bowers - Guiliani had the theories for election fraud.
Cassidy Hutchinson stated she understood there was a goal to keep Trump in office through voter fraud, but, not enough to overturn the election.
Complete lack of evidence to overturn the 2020 election didn't stop Trump and his minions.

A former Trump administration aide (click here) and a leader with a pro-Trump Christian group are helping Patrick Byrne, the multimillionaire Overstock founder and ex-CEO, run a nonprofit that has pushed false election conspiracy claims, according to a filing reviewed by CNBC.
The group, called the America Project, is led in part by Emily Newman, who served as an advisor in then-President Donald Trump’s administration, according to the document. The disclosure report was filed this month in Delaware, according to Florida’s division of corporations website. The America Project has a mailing address in Sarasota, Fla.
Rob Weaver, who has a leadership role with the Jericho March, a pro-Trump Christian coalition, is listed on the form as the group’s chief financial officer....
There were a variety of characters of powers and people that was causing the voting machines to produce wrong reports as to the outcome of the vote. There was a great deal of tense moments in a meeting where the minions were attempting to come up with a viable method to prove the election fraudulent due to the foreign influence of Venezuela, China and Iran. Of course, Russia was never a partner in crime to Trump.
Trusted political advisers were actually co-plotters or as Giuliani stated, "You are all pussies." Those advisers were unable to satisfy Giuliani's ambitions for the fraud by Trump. Giuliani liked the cabinet room the best.
Cassidy Hutchinson sent memos that described the meeting as unhinged and broke up after midnight. Mark Meadows escorted Giuliani off the White House grounds. Sidney Powell was provided security clearance and established by Trump as Special Council. Trump was told the appointment would be meaningless. Cipollone states he did not see Sidney Powell with any special status.
December meeting was the point where Sidney Powell believed she was appointed to carry out the capacity of Special Council and also seeking to be Special Council with validation by others in the White House besides Trump. She was mostly unsuccessful by the people in the White House.
Trump's purpose was to mobilize a crowd. Well, that is an understatement. He was trying to mobilize a crowd in every venue he attempted to influence to carry out a coup. The crowd were organized in many instances before the Trump re-election campaign and now attempted coup.

Alex Jones, the war mongering idiot. The extremist media were a part of the coup. They cooperated in raising alarm and organizing the violence at the Capitol. Salty Cracker. "...the time for action is now...where were you when history called..."
"Red Wedding" is out of Game of Thrones (click here)
There was information on social media that provided guidance to the mobs in that twitter would be the most important communication tool to the coup.
"Stand back and stand by" became an important statement to consolidate those that would bring violence on January 6th at the Capitol.
It sounds like the people involved with the actual violence was manipulated with populous content and quotes by Trump that provided excitement to the violence.
"Firing squad," oh, why not? Blood everywhere.
This entire time Trump was raking in millions of dollars (click here).
Former U.S. President Donald Trump raised $250 million in donations in the weeks after the November 2020 presidential election for an organization ostensibly intended to fund court challenges in support of his false claims that the election was fraudulent. Instead, he directed that money to an unrelated political action committee, or PAC, according to congressional investigators....
Promising of the best of all outcomes, including a successful coup and plenty of blood in achieving it would bring in more money and more a feeling of success was at their hands. Power. Trump was the power that relegated the best of outcomes regardless of the violence.
2:07 pm 10 minute recess
It was all about money and those that were audience to their best hopes of defeating the government and killing those responsible for democracy was a good use of their money. The Trump supporters, regardless of their status, were a ship of fools to believe this would actually happen. The only reason the White House staff was confused about the path of the president, was because they didn't see the banking balance Trump was viewing. Not one of them asked to know if there was fund raising connected to the "Big Lie." They never saw that level of corruption permeating their positions via Trump. Nor did Trump offer that perspective.
To their credit, the White House staff first felt the responsibility of their positions and to the country before their loyalty to Trump. Pat Cipollone singularly stood the line to end Trump's plans for violence. He even advised Ms. Hutchinson to stand on the right side of the law and the country. It was that deep understanding of their oaths that maintained that line they did not cross. Considering the disharmony Trump insisted on in the White House these are exceptional Americans. The country owes them an understanding of their dedication to the country and the Rule of Law. Bill Barr was also standing the line to end Trump's plans.
2:17 pm
Witnesses are seated in the committee room. They are protesters.
2:31 pm Committee returns to room after technical difficulties
2:32 pm Committee reconvened
Dr. Donell Harvin reports groups were aligning to meet in Washington, DC. The collaboration was nothing that would not have occurred without the understanding of a common cause.
Rep. Raskin describes the groups that attended the violence of January 6th. The information this committee is bringing to the American people is incredible.
The Ministry of Self-Defense including maps and plans to approach DC and how to move. Flynn connects to Oath Keepers. December 12th in picture with Oath Keepers as body guards to Flynn. Trump pardoned Flynn and Stone between the election and January 6th. "Friends of Stone." Friends of Roger Stone were marchers and Stewart Rhodes called for the coup in order to minimize the shedding of blood to achieve their goals.
Enrica Tarrio was the one Bannon wanted to bail out of jail on January 5th so it would not effect the coup.
Encrypted chats by Oath Keepers and Roger Stone. Stone was taking steps to become a member of the organization. That was all in his capacity as a Trump associate. As far as I am concerned, Stone was enlisting cooperation and loyalty with the Oath Keepers by appearing to be one of them.
2:41 pm Rep. Murphy
There was no evidence that the president and others did nothing to cool the temperature of the groups and followers.Roger Stone
Alex Jones
Ali Alexander
January 6th was to be announce to his supporters to a directive to meet at the Ellipse in DC at 10 AM. There is no doubt the violence was a method Trump intended to use. It was a secret to most and not a spontaneous movement.
Trump's very speech on the Ellipse is the evidence of the intent as stated and planned earlier. This was a method and not a social gathering.
Congressman Brooks
Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL), (click here) a candidate in the Republican primary for the 2022 Senate race, engaged in a systematic effort to cast doubt on the integrity of the 2020 U.S. presidential election and to make the case that its result should be overturned by state legislatures and Congress. Using incendiary language, he encouraged President Trump’s supporters — in remarks at the Rally immediately preceding the insurrection on January 6th — to march to the U.S. Capitol:Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass. Now our ancestors sacrificed their blood, their sweat, their tears, their fortunes, and sometimes their lives to give us, their descendants, an America that is the greatest nation in world history. So I have a question for you, are you willing to do the same? My answer is yes. Louder! Are you willing to do what it takes to fight for America?...
These supposed threats are, in fact, part of the central conspiracy theory advocated by the antigovernment movement of which the Oath Keepers is a part – the baseless claim that the federal government plans to impose martial law, seize Americans’ weapons, force those who resist into concentration camps and, ultimately, push the country into a one-world socialistic government known as the “New World Order.” In 2013, the group announced the planned formation of “Citizen Preservation” militias meant to defend Americans against the New World Order....
