This is too funny. Time to play Connect the Dots. Isn’t it fascinating that within an hour or so of the Washington Post dropping an article about the January 6 Committee making its case public with prime time hearings that Donald Trump frantically posts on Truth Social how awful they were to Peter Navarro? And ‘how crazy” they are?
Somebody probably gently broke the news to Donald that Ivanka and Jared were going to be part of the televised hearings. Oh, how sharper than a serpent’s tooth are two peeved wanna be socialites who are now pariahs because of the actions of crazy dad. But these two get to vent about it on national TV — make that worldwide TV.
The hearings mark the culmination of an inquiry that has involved more than 1,000 interviews and reviews of more than 125,000 records. Taken together, the work represents the most comprehensive record yet of the deadly assault, and which panel members have come to believe stands out as only the most visible evidence of a broader plot to undermine American democracy — one that emanated from the White House.
To tell that story, the committee will draw on testimony from administration insiders, including a previously obscure aide who has given the committee a detailed reconstruction of meetings and movements in the West Wing. The committee also has video recordings of interviews with Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, that some inside the process believe will make for gripping television.
That is an understatement there. Ivanka’s testimony in particular is of great interest because she was with her father in the Oval Office while the Capitol Riot was raging outside.
Legally, meanwhile, the investigation may have limited direct consequence: Although the committee can refer cases for prosecution, it is the Justice Department that will ultimately decide whether to file any charges.
Still, a criminal referral by Congress of a former U.S. president would be an extraordinary step. And whether it is taken or not, the hearings will represent a historic moment, one in which the committee unveils evidence of what it has described in court filings as “a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States.”
“Either way, these hearings are very important in getting that information out there,” said Norm Eisen, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who served as counsel to House Democrats for Trump’s first impeachment trial. […]
The final hearing is likely to be led by Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Elaine Luria (D-Va.) and focused primarily on Trump: what he did, what went on around him, and what he said before Jan. 6 and on that day. A person familiar with the planning said the few remaining “bombshells” will come in the final hearing, though the person cautioned that the most notable piece of evidence against the former president — that he allegedly expressed support for hanging Vice President Mike Pence — has been reported.
What a wild day that was. Trump expressing support for the hanging of Pence and Pence being too afraid to get into the limousine when his Secret Service aide asked him to.
Trump is agitated. That’s what we know. And his agitation isn’t going to lessen as the days go by. And besides that, don’t forget the criminal referral in Georgia. That isn’t going away any time soon.
King Lear died of a broken heart. Hard to imagine Chump will even care, the dead tell no lies. He’d be grateful.
He’d have to have a heart to break.
Why do “we” continue to report anything about Trump? He is a non- player, non-entity in today’s world. He is not even as important as the painted scenery in a high school play!
You wonder whether the Trmplets are going to do anything other than plead the 5th or plead amnesia.
Inanka is no Cordelia. I guess she and Don Junior and Eric split Regan and Goneril among them However, Tiffany is no Cordelia either. He’s f***ed/
