Rep. Adam Schiff, in his closing statements for the fourth Jan. 6 public hearing, on former Pres. Trump's efforts to hold on to the presidency: 'What he did was without a doubt unconstitutional, it was unpatriotic, and it was fundamentally un-American.'

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol in Tuesday's hearing detailed the threats made to state lawmakers and election officials and workers in Arizona and Georgia, as President Donald Trump and his allies tried to get them to overturn the election results in their states.

Texts showed by Schiff revealed that Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin could also have played a part in the false electors scheme. The texts, between Johnson's chief of staff and an aide to Pence, showed Johnson's aide informing Pence's aide that the senator was ready to deliver fraudulent ballots to Pence."Do not give that to him," Pence's aide responded.

"At the same time, on some of these, we had a daughter who was gravely ill who was upset by what was happening outside and my wife, that is a valiant person, very strong, quiet, very strong woman," he said, growing emotional."So it was disturbing." Bowers did not mention that in early 2021, his daughter died after her illness.

Thompson said Trump's pressuring of these election officials was based on the"big lie." "The lie hasn't gone away. It's corrupting our democratic institutions," Thompson added, specifically noting that a New Mexico county official refused to certify the recent primary results. After more than two-and-a-half hours of testimony, the fourth hearing closed. The next hearing will be Thursday, when witnesses will discuss Trump's attempts to influence the Justice Department to support his attempts to overturn the election, Thompson said.

what about all the evidence on trump this lying HOWDY DOODIE said he had!

Look who’s talkin about the big lie Hipocrite Schiff ! No other than u & demo cohorts cause u Hillary demos hated President Trump so much u all created coup to take him down!U all should be ashamed & prosecuted Wasting taxpayer $ for political & personal power!Jan 6 is a sham too

It is the whole group not just the individual.

There are still dozens of J6 protesters in solitary confinement for a year and a half. For trespassing. A black cop shot and killed an unarmed woman protester and was praised and his identity hidden.

Conspiracy to defraud the election.

But...was it illegal? Also, has Schiff ever gotten back to anyone about the Russian collusion

Dump Trump

Lady Ruby and Shaye T-shirts for all!

Funny how the wouldn't let me post my real opinion.... media controlling what is heard is un American

DOJMustChargeTrump

Schiff literally looks like a lizard

This man is at the center of every witch hunt. Coincidence?!

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me - Can he still be trusted again?

Harry Reid stood in the Senate well and said he had proof Mitt Romney was a tax cheat. None of these people are patriotic

I still want to know how he obtained cell phone records of his political opponents.

The RNC encourages its base to teach others lessons with their vote. As if everyone who is not a conservative stooge, they are a child to be educated in the ways of bs subjective conservative ideology. Stanley Milgram would be able to give commentary if he were still alive.

Pencil neck is so irrelevant it's funny.

Pence blames Biden for economic woes in Chicago speech, largely avoids Jan. 6, Trump'The economic woes now upon us have been caused almost single-handedly by one person: the 46th president of the United States of America, Joe Biden,' Pence said. During his 4 years he didn’t do shit. He only did one thing right and it was the only time he had any balls to stand up to dictator Trump. Of course. But who cares What weight does that hold? His background is not in Economics. Ask him a specific question. What's the historical average of inflation? He won't know. Every person from Cult45 has strong opinions. And they talk like they're an expert. But look at their experience and education. DunningKrugerEffect
