The House Jan. 6 committee aims to make the case in its final hearing Thursday night that Donald Trump did nothing to stop the grisly Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and instead “gleefully” watched on television

The events of Jan. 6 will be outlined “minute by minute,” said the panel's vice chair, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.

The hearing will show never-before-seen outtakes of a Jan. 7 video that White House aides pleaded for Trump to make as a message of national healing for the country. The footage will show how Trump struggled to condemn the mob of his supporters who violently breached the Capitol, according to a person familiar with the matter and granted anonymity to discuss it ahead of its public release.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the committee, is isolating after testing positive for COVID-19 and will attend by video. Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a former Naval officer who will lead the session with Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who flew combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, said she expects the testimony from the White House aides will “just be really compelling.”

As the panel continues to collect evidence and prepares to issue a preliminary report of findings, it has amassed the most substantial public record to date of what led up to Americans attacking the seat of democracy.So far, more than 840 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the Capitol riot. Over 330 of them have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors. Of the more than 200 defendants to be sentenced, approximately 100 received terms of imprisonment.

“We have to get this right,” Garland said. “For people who are concerned, as I think every American should be, we have to do two things: We have to hold accountable every person who is criminally responsible for trying to overturn a legitimate election, and we must do it in a way filled with integrity and professionalism.”

“The president didn’t do very much but gleefully watch television during this time frame,” Kinzinger said.

All due to the Democrat's 2000 mules that corrupted the voting process by submitting fraudulent mail in ballots. Protest was justifiable in the eyes many citicens.

Lol still pushing this one sided BS for your masters

he told them to ' peacefully have your voices heard' so what makes people think that the idiots who broke the law would listen to him? and what platform does he have access to that he can deliver his call to stop the chaos?

pretty sure Trump condemned the violence that day....
