Jan. 6 Hearing Today – Live Stream And Open Thread

Today’s hearing will reportedly feature testimony from a spokesman for the Oath Keepers. Presumably, he will provide some link between the violent extremists and the Trump White House and/or Trump allies.

From The Washington Post:

During the hearing, which starts at 1 p.m. Eastern time, committee members are expected to focus heavily on a Dec. 19, 2020, tweet in which Trump advertised on Twitter a “wild” protest on Jan. 6. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.), one of the panel members leading Tuesday’s hearing, has said the tweet served as a “siren call” for members of violent extremist groups such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.

…

Witnesses are expected to include Jason Van Tatenhove, who served as national spokesman for the Oath Keepers and as a close aide to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.

In other words, Trump engaged in witness tampering.

Bombshell at the end from Cheney: Trump called a witness we haven’t seen yet. The witness refused to take the call and the info has been referred to the DOJ.

John, I had to leave right when they were talking about Stone and I have to go back once the hearing is over. But it did sound like Stone was going to be the smoking gun or at least part of it.

Glad the live stream works for you! I’m watching on TV but will rewind the streaming video to catch what I missed.

Very powerful closing statement by Rep. Jamie Raskin.

The smoking gun connecting Trump directly to the gangs may be his old friend Stone.

Your feed is way more reliable than my iffy MSNBC connection, Ellen. So far it’s looking just as good as the earlier hearings. That Dec 18 meeting must have been extraordinary!

Agree, Bemused. I have no hope for Gym Jordan or his pals to behave like grownups who want to legislate instead of performers looking for Fox News hits.

I’m really impressed by the professionalism of this committee. No grandstanding, nothing but facts, facts and more facts. I do so hope that this will become the format for future hearings (aka no opportunities for the likes of Jim Jordan to show off his ignorance).

Good for you, Ellen. Hope it gets easier. Personally, I had no reaction at all to the first three jabs but had sore muscles and a bit of a headache. Paracetamol and bed did the trick.

As a side note, I’m scheduled for a COVID booster at 3 PM EDT today and, given my past reactions to the vaccine, may be out of commission for a few days.
