Thursday at noon Pacific. At that session, the committee is expected to show Trump’s efforts to persuade the Justice Department to claim that the election was tainted by rampant fraud — and how he tried to install an attorney general who would help him get the job done. His efforts were blocked by senior Justice Department officials and White House lawyers who threatened to resign en masse. Three former Justice Department officials are slated to testify.
The committee had originally planned to explore this topic at a June 15 hearing, but that session was postponed without explanation. Thompson said Thursday’s hearing will show that Trump was “the driving force behind the effort to corrupt the Justice Department” to hold on to the White House.
The session will be the first led by one of the committee’s two Republicans: Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.
1 Pm EST June 28 Jan 6 hearing reconvening….got something new for us.
Here’s a list of the people who have been subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee | The Hill https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3514712-heres-a-list-of-the-people-who-have-been-subpoenaed-by-the-jan-6-committee/
Hope I did this correctly.
Ok, I was glued to my computer watching the hearing today. The previous two hearings were good, each one outdoing the last, and then today, bloody hell. I am over the moon that it was Adam Kinzinger who was doing the questioning, and with each statement, each comment, it was something that I will not soon forget. Kinzinger's facial expressions, the smirk, the "I'm going to take you wankers down", look. You know damn well that the Orange menace and ALL of his allies were puckering their hairy balloon knots.
Today's hearing was the best one yet, and I would love to be a fly on the wall when all of this was going down as each of these traitors was mentioned. Mo Brooks, who had initially received a subpoena from this committee and who ignored it, has since spoken with the committee saying that he would be willing to sit down with them, however, he doesn't want to sit down for a closed-door deposition like some of the other witnesses, instead, he wants to do it live on national t.v., of course, he has a few asks from the committee before doing so, but this is now scheduled to happen in the next week or so.
Half way through savoring and gloating over the replay of today's January 6th hearing and I can't help but stop to highlight asshat giuliani's statement:
"Somebody should be put in charge of the Justice Department who isn’t afraid of what’s going to be done to their reputation."
Snort!

If this was a Stephen King or a Carl Hiaasen or a George Orwell novel, these brain damaged evil insane characters would actually be entertaining.
It's too bad we're actually living though this dystopian nightmare.
Clark, raided? How could he not know that when you associate with Psycho Donnie, you'll likely end up on the front lawn in your pajamas while the FBI seizes your communications?
And the white-wash begins. Wonder if the GQP has finally realized the gig is up? Good hint is when you lose Faux Spews.
“MacCallum said a rift among Republicans over whether to buy into the former president’s continued allegations of cheating will be exploited by the Democratic-dominated House panel investigating the Capitol riot, according to the news outlet.
“The lack of evidence is the huge stunning clear moment here where these people are saying, ‘Look I supported you, please give me something to work with,’ and it simply doesn’t materialize,” MacCallum said, per The Hill.”

My take-away is that we need to be realistic and understand the root cause of the Orange Shitgibbon and those who were in the GQP prior to the attempted traitorous insurrection. We would do well to never forget that the entire GQP was just fine with all the Orange Shitgibbon BS and criminal activity AS LONG AS THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANTED OUT OF IT. And they did: permanent tax cuts for wealthy and corporations but not the rest of us; over 250 judges appointed to fed benches including SCOTUS; more BS about voting fraud to justify further election meddling to make it harder to vote; more blocking of helpful legislation for the majority while they can say it was the Dem’s fault we all in the shit because they have the majority (ignoring that small detail of a filibuster); and generally a distaste among most to participate in the governance process based on “we the people” because the whole thing is so sordid and corrupt now that even good public servants are tarred by the same brush.
We really need to remember the above when we start feeling like “some GQP” are fine upstanding people. It took a failed and deadly insurrection attempt to cause many of these people to turn against the individual named Trump but had it succeeded? I would bet my life they ALL would have toed the line immediately and saved their own asses (which, coincidentally, is what many of them are now attempting).
MSNBC is reporting that Mo Brooks may appear at a future hearing.
My take away today ~ We are witnessing additional dark history being written of what we like to think of and sling round in song as our oh so beautiful America. Our obligation to our presence here is to pass the facts around whenever you can, indiscreetly or not. The tale needs to see everyone's daylight. We know many are not watching closely for that is the American way and denial is a tough nut to crack. So, not an easy task, but inch by inch, may be able to move the needle to rationality and justice. Time wil tell, I suppose.
Have a great day, everyone!
Sun is out. Later SAVers
Thanks for participating everyone. I always knew you were my people. So glad I found this site.💗
They all shook hands. I like that.
Thanks for the discussion format
I hope the American people are paying attention. There has never been a more corrupt, lying, insane, narcissistic sociopath as President. We can never let these fascist extremists take power again. The coup is ongoing so we can't let down our guard.
Thank you guy's, that was fun!
Thank you SAVers for sharing this with me. Liked minds prove that I do not stand alone❤️❤️❤️❤️
