One wonders when the truth and accountability stopped mattering to Republicans? From the Insider… link” Kevin McCarthy and other House Republicans are planning an alternative report on the Capitol attack targeting Nancy Pelosi, Capitol Police and the FBI as the January 6 committee hearings start”
“* House GOP leaders are preparing an alternative report on who to blame for the attack on the Capitol. * Their plan comes as the January 6 committee prepares to hold public hearings on its investigation. * Rep. Jim Banks, who is leading the GOP effort, says House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is his prime target.” From the article “House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other top GOP members are sewing up an alternative analysis of who was responsible for the January 6, 2021, violent attack on Congress, aides for the California Republican told Insider. The Republican plan in the works includes an attempt to pin the attacks on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Capitol Police, the FBI, and the National Guard, and the then-House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving.With no control over what the January 6 select committee presents to the American public Thursday night during its debut prime-time hearing, House Republican leaders have scrambled to whip up an effective counterattack with little information to go by. That's in part because they refused to take part in the year-long committee investigation. McCarthy was subpoenaed by the select committee but has, so far, refused to cooperate with its investigation. January 6 committee staff told reporters Wednesday that the focus of the upcoming hearings is placing former President Donald Trump at the heart of a coordinated effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.”

They have Eastman texts.. Big denier GQP Sen Mike Lee (R-Ut) .. big Constitution expert... Is in the texts. ... About the addon electors... Leaked texts between former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee suggest that Lee was in on the plan to keep former President Trump in office after he lost the 2020 election, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. One of the focuses of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot is the attempt to appoint alternate Trump electors in states carried by Biden in 2020, and that's where Lee comes in, due to the fact that his text messages with Meadows show him repeatedly referencing the alternate electors in the run-up to Jan. 6. *** On December 8, 2020, Lee texted Meadows, “If a very small handful of states were to have their legislatures appoint alternative slates of delegates, there could be a path.”www.rawstory.com/newly-released-documents-cast-doubt-on-mike-lee-jan-6-denials-report/

Is anyone else nervous and excited for it to start (5 pm PST) but scared to death at the same time? Like, I know they are evil and corrupt, but to hear it laid out with evidence and recordings, how will anyone be able to deny it after today?
But we all know Trump's followers will refuse to watch and refuse to listen. Like Mike Lindell, they will wallow in their sickness of denial and ignorance even when they know the real truth is out there.
I feel a sense of dread and, what's the word? Ominous-ness? Something like that.

Something like that. They’ll have absolutely no problem denying it after today. That’s a given, with the ‘alternative facts’ explanation being crafted. The Fox News viewers like our parents will believe 100% of it, no evidence needed and regardless of what actual facts are presented during the hearings.

They’ve bought the entire bill of goods so far, so IMO the hearings will change nothing for these folks. They’re going to say it is all just another witch hunt. It pains me to know that they can look the actual truth in the face and call it a lie and believe that.

From CNN
“Fact check: Trump attacks the Jan. 6 committee with his usual lie about the 2020 election”
From the Article…
In a Thursday post on his social media platform, Truth Social, former President Donald Trump attacked the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol – by repeating his usual lie about the 2020 election.
Trump complained that the committee had not studied “the reason” that a large number of people had gone to Washington that day. He said the presence of these people “was about an Election that was Rigged and Stolen, and a Country that was about to go to HELL.”
Facts First: Trump’s claim about the 2020 election is, again, a lie. The election wasn’t rigged and wasn’t stolen. Joe Biden won fair and square. There was a tiny smattering of voter fraud that was nowhere near widespread enough to have changed the outcome in any state, let alone to have reversed Biden’s 306-232 victory in the Electoral College.
Trump made the same false claim about the election being “stolen” in the January 6 speech he delivered in Washington before the riot; in the video message later that day in which he urged supporters to leave the Capitol; and on numerous other occasions before and since.

I can’t remember where on Twitter but some idiot posted a diagram comparing 1/6 to all the BLM riots 500+ so since less damage was done during this one event it was no big deal. Also claimed that people encouraged the BLM riots. I don’t remember anyone encouraging riots - protests yes but not riots. I don’t understand how anyone can’t see the difference between the two and why 1/6 was so shocking because they were trying to overturn an election. That’s the main thing they ignore.
I’m really curious what we will actually see tonight.

Jan 6th was an attack on the United States of America, our government, our Constitution, all of us.
BLM was mostly protests about the illegal assault and death of George Floyd, as well as far too many people of color by, specifically, law enforcement.
Yes, some of it got out of hand with violence and illegal activities, which was wrong. But peaceful protests should never be considered wrong or illegal

It's 10:30am Friday here, and was flicking through the channels when I saw that the inquiry was on Sky News channel (our version of Fox News). This will be the longest I have ever watched Sky News ha!
