Finally finished reading the #jan6threport and to say I am relieved is an understatement. Scariest book I ever read. Gave me nightmares, no exaggeration.
But I believe that the fundamental difference between conspiracy theories and reality is evidence. Many people took the time to gather this doorstop of a book's worth of evidence about one of the most important events of our lifetimes, and I wanted to be able to say I had examined it thoroughly. #election2024

@FrancisWilkinson the #TPM link to Ginni Thomas' transcript in the article directs you to the House site which is no longer active, because of the 'pro-insurrectionists' GOP led majority.
Here is an active link to the Ginni Thomas transcript -we should all read it: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23559240-transcript-of-ginni-thomas-interview-with-house-january-6-committee #ginnithomas #virginiathomas #clarencethomas #scotus #january6thtranscripts #jan6threport #insurrectionist

Definitely worth your time to read: The Sacred Lies of Virginia Thomas.

wow: Sidney Powell told the subcommittee she saw wild fluctuations in the vote count on TV. That convinced her there was fraud. But Powell also said she could not recall what she did soon after that to analyze the votes, or whom she spoke to. Asked about her early post-election activity, she said that’s “like asking for your first memory of your mother.” @washingtonpost.mstdn.social By Azi Paybarah https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/12/23/jan6-committee-final-report/#link-2MRQJPXTPVEWXFAHNHFMLXPVEU #january6threport #january6thtranscripts #jan6threport #sidneypowell

Vice Chair, Rep Liz Cheney's Foreward starts with : "Part of the tragedy of January 6th is the conduct of those who knew that what happened was profoundly wrong, but nevertheless tried to downplay it, minimize it or defend those responsible. That effort continues every day. ...

'At 2:38 p.m., President Trump sent this tweet: “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!” 10 Sarah Matthews, the White House Deputy Press Secretary, told the Select Committee that President Trump resisted using the word “peaceful.” The President added the words “Stay peaceful!” only after Ivanka Trump suggested the phrase.' #january6threport #jan6threport pg 579

“Every American – and certainly the President of the United States – knows that in a democracy, leaders are elected, not installed. With a plan this “BOLD,” President Trump knowingly tried to subvert this fundamental principle.”
Judge Carter
Excuse me, but these two, these two pieces of sh’t: Trump & Eastman..

Knowledge and intent— incitement..
Trump’s reckless disregard, his reckless endangerment of Vice President Pence, knowingly whipping the crowd into a murderous frenzy is very clearly laid out p 27 :
“Although the final written draft of his speech referred to Pence just once – a line President Trump didn’t end up reading– the President went off- script five different times to pressure the Vice President… “#january6threport #jan6threport #jan6 #pence #incitement #incitetoviolence

Donald Trump’s lying is shocking — next-level lying

“To be absolutely clear, no White House lawyer believed Pence could lawfully refuse to count electoral votes.”

Sheltering in a loading dock with VP during Jan 6 attack, Greg Jacob asked Eastman in an email, “Did you advise the President that in your professional judgment the [VP] DOES NOT have the power to decide things unilaterally?”
Eastman’s response stated that the President had “been so advised,” but then indicated that Trump continued to pressure the VP to act illegally: “But you know him – once he gets something in his head, it is hard to get him to change course.”

The money!
“Evidence gathered by the Committee indicates that President Trump raised roughly one quarter of a billion dollars in fundraising efforts between the election and January 6th. Those solicitations persistently claimed and referred to election fraud that did not exist.”
It was a money-making scheme.

The table on pages 17-21 just lays it out: flagrant f**king lying. Donald Trump knowingly, deliberately lied. He was told repeatedly by myriad respected knowledgeable sources —yet he continued to lie.

Continued:
‘President Trump one day later (12/2/20):
“In one Michigan County, as an example, that used Dominion systems, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched from Trump to Biden, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what we caught. How many didn’t we catch?’” -
Another side-by-side example of Trump’s knowledge & intentional lying (pg 20):
“Attorney General Bill Barr (12/1/20):
‘I explained, I said, look, if you have a machine and it counts 500 votes for Biden and 500 votes for Trump, and then you go back later and you have a -- you will have the 1,000 pieces of paper put through that machine, and you can see if there’s any discrepancy... there has been no discrepancy’.” .. -
Report does a good job laying bare Trump’s knowledge of his lies, side-by-side—for example:
“GA Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger (1/2/21):
[Trump]: ‘So dead people voted, and I think the number is close to 5,000 people. And they went to obituaries. They went to all sorts of methods to come up with an accurate number, and a minimum is close to about 5,000 voters.’ ...
[Raffensperger]: ‘The actual number were two. Two. Two people that were dead that voted. So that’s wrong.’” -
Cassidy Hutchinson: “… And the President said I think – so he had said something to the effect of, ‘I don’t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out. We need to figure it out. I don’t want people to know that we lost.’”

“Other Trump lawyers and supporters, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Phil Waldron, and Michael Flynn, all invoked their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination when asked by the Select Committee what supposed proof they uncovered that the election was stolen.”

Crazy Rudy Giuliani story:
“As Giuliani visited Campaign headquarters to discuss election litigation, the Trump Campaign’s professional staff began to view him as unhinged.[..] The ‘general consensus was that the law firms were not comfortable making the arguments that Rudy Giuliani was making publicly.’
[… Trump Campaign Manager Bill ] Stepien grew so wary of the new team that he locked Giuliani out of his office…”

“In short, President Trump was informed over and over again, by his senior appointees, campaign experts and those who had served him for years, that his election fraud allegations were nonsense.”
-
Remember this—stunning act of sabotage: “President Trump also took consequential actions reflecting his understanding that he would be leaving office on January 20th. For example, President Trump personally signed a Memorandum and Order instructing his Department of Defense to withdraw all military forces from Somalia by December 31, 2020, and from Afghanistan by January 15, 2021.”

“Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Jason Miller testified to the Committee about this exchange:
Miller: ‘I was in the Oval Office. And at some point in the conversation Matt Oczkowski, who was the lead data person, was brought on, and I remember he delivered to the President in pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose.’”

“As votes were being counted in the days after the election, President Trump’s senior campaign advisors informed him that his chances of success were almost zero.”
