So, my interest is piqued. However, I then looked to the right of the story and saw a blurb noting "Social Conservative crowd cheers Herschel Walker after revelation of undiscussed kids".This could get really interesting.
POLITICO Playbook: SCOOP: Jan. 6 panel subpoenas unseen Trump tapes
And Alabama’s GOP Senate runoff<b> </b>is the day’s biggest prize.
It keeps getting worse for Trump. It's already clear that there's sufficient evidence to charge him with obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Seditious conspiracy and wire fraud (for the bogus "Election Defense Fund") may also be in play. It's hard to imagine that the tapes you've referenced won't produce additional evidence of criminality. And today's testimony from Raffensperger will be devastating for Trump. Instructing Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have," and then implying Raffensperger could be prosecuted if he didn't do Trump's bidding, is a/the smoking gun.This could get really interesting.

Your last paragraph is what I worry about. It could logically made sense to prosecute him, members of his administration and his family, but I fear that very little will be done in the face of overwhelming evidence.
We've all witnessed congressional proceedings over the years that were disjointed, meandering, and little more than political posturing and/or grandstanding. These hearings are not that. The Committee has clearly done its homework, the questions have been carefully crafted and the hearings have been focused and compelling. The recorded testimony has been seamlessly integrated with the live testimony, the committee members have for the most part let the witnesses tell the story, and there's been a logical flow to the presentation. I'm impressed.
In the end, I think the grand purpose of all of this is to turn Trump into Hillary Clinton. As Unclemark alluded to above, there is a small, but significant chunk of America that is independent-ish (or at least, not uber-partisan) that don't really follow politics that much. Hillary's downfall was her inability to shake off the Benghazi / Email scandals. This whole circus is to brand Trump with a Jan 6. stigma so that whomever goes against him in 2024 in the primaries / general will be able to throw it out there in every single speech as "proof" of how untrustworthy Trump is.
I feel like that's a strategy that could backfire horribly. I don't think there are any Republicans who are strong enough politically to call him out on this stuff in a primary debate and any Democrats are just going to be labeled the 'deep state' or something to that effect.
He's a clear and present danger to American democracy. He abused his power unlike any prior president including Nixon and he committed crimes in the process. The committee is presenting evidence of his crimes. He needs to be prosecuted or this will happen again.
Your full of BS
Agree. "He has done it before. He will do it again. I will tell you 100%. Not 5, not 10, not even 50, but 100%". Adam Schiff, impeachment hearing.
Don't open your eyes, Lucy. Just stay right there in the Trump world where he is always the victim, and it is always okay no matter what he says or what he does.
How about we all get back to thinking and supporting serious people from the actual world. Trump isn't a serious person. He never has been. He's a carnival barker that has tapped into an anger and fear vein in our country. And the only reason Biden is even a thing right now is because there were over 80 million Americans that are a combination of embarrassed and scared shitless at what Trump could and would do to our country. The damage that Biden is doing to our country is a tragic side effect to how horrible Trump is and was. And the damage that Trump would inevitably do to our country from 2025-2029 would be an even more tragic side effect of how horrible Biden is.
The post you replied to with your post didn't mention Biden, so why did you?
I'm not watching or keeping up on the hearings.
Let’s see, maybe it’s because I am a premium member and I can ask what I want about the current president.
Haha. They read that during the hearings. Rusty Bowers or Donald Trump? Hmmm who do we think is lying??
So Trump wanted Bowers loyalty in return, and asked him to disregard his oath. Par for the course with Trump.
um ok. What does this show other than Trump expected blind loyalty in return for his endorsement? If anything this makes Trump look worse. He is almost admitting that he expected Bower to cheat for him.
Well if Bower did in indeed just perjure himself and Trump has the tape to prove it that will blow this whole charade up.
Yes it would. Taking bets?
No idea why you'd post Trump's lie. Rusty certainly didn't back down in pointing out Trump was lying...
Lol we all know that. It’s why you’re in the indefensible position you are. Supporting overturning our democracy .
