I had never tuned in a Trump speech before, but I was watching his speech on Jan. 6th.

Still can’t believe that he really meant it when he said “I’ll be with you!” to the (armed) crowds that day. I thought he was just doing his usual “tell-them-what-they-need-to-hear-so-they-will-do-my-bidding” routine.

I didn’t believe it, either, but after today’s hearing I think it’s pretty indisputable. He wanted to pose in front of his MAGA cult as an avenging angel.

which would ban abortions nationwide after six weeks.

I am expecting them to pass a “life begins at conception” bill that would ban all abortions at any point.

NYMAG: “The January 6 hearings have two basic functions. The first is to reveal, to the degree it is possible, as much as can be uncovered about Donald Trump’s efforts to negate the 2020 election result and remain in office. The second is to expose the allies who are, in one way or another, complicit in his crime. On both counts, the committee is delivering…”

“At this point, even with the hearings in progress, it seems safe to rate this as the greatest political scandal in American history. This is true when measured by its depth (the lengths the perpetrators were willing to go extended to the violent overthrow of the U.S. government) as well as its breadth (the guilty parties included elected officials, lawyers, foot soldiers, and, of course, the president of the United States).”

“It is all the more striking, then, that the Republican Party stance was, and is, that none of this should be investigated.”

The funny thing is that Trump’s court picks were as generic GOP as it gets — Trump didn’t give a shit about judges, except to the extent he could pretend they would be personally loyal to him. So he just worked his way down the judge lists his handlers gave to him.

“After Tuesday’s bombshell hearing investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell said he holds former President Donald Trump personally responsible for the injuries he sustained defending the Capitol,” the HuffPost reports.

Said Gonell: “Our own president set us up. I just feel betrayed. The president should be doing everything possible to help us and he didn’t do it. He wanted to lead the mob and wanted to lead the crowd himself … he wanted to be a tyrant.”

the prelude (CNN 3/26/21):

“It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat. Look, they went in, they shouldn’t have done it. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships,” ~ Trump in phone call to Laura Ingraham …….

Good article from Sargent.

I bet they have planning info from the Willard Hotel meetings/Guiliani/Stone.

Violent overthrow was planned.

What’s still unclear is whether Trump saw the use of the mob to pressure his vice president, Mike Pence, as part of the plan all along in the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021, or whether he came to see the violence as a weapon in real time, as it developed.

I’ll still give her credit for being brave enough to testify, knowing Trumpland will try to destroy her. She could have gone the Hope Hicks route during the Mueller investigation.

Former White House communications director and Trump campaign aide Hope Hicks appeared before the House on Wednesday—and, true to the White House’s pattern of stonewalling Democrats, lawmakers weren’t able to get much out of her. According to a transcript released Thursday of Hicks’s testimony, White House lawyers blocked Hicks from answering questions 155 times during her interview, claiming that they were invoking “absolute immunity” that prevented Hicks from “stat[ing] anything about her knowledge of anything during the period of time in which she was employed in the White House.”

Yes, I can very well see someone with as poor impulse control as Trump has lungeing at someone if he’s riding high on adrenaline, rage, and a sense of invincibility.

He’s a bully and needs to dominate, and will get physical if his desires are sufficiently frustrated.
