    Probably a good deal less than the raw evidence. Any exculpatory evidence will be suppressed.

    People who have debated with me without heeding the advice in my sig know how embarrassing we can make it for them. And we are relentless.

    Then you learned something from the political theater. That's good.

    If you think they're going to show us all the evidence you're even blinder than usual.

    Not a court. Simply a presentation of facts. Indictments and trials are up to the DOJ. I watched. It was compelling, and at times disturbing.

    Perhaps you use the term "kangaroo court" because it is your "side" getting caught in the act of insurrection. If it had been the other way around and the unofficial "antifa" folks had done what Trump's supporters did that day, you'd take more interest.

    Because it wasn't even a vague resemblance to a court. It was mostly statements by Bannon, Kushner, Ivanka, Trump aides, Pence, and other Republicans and Republican operatives. They said what they saw, what they said, what they knew, and what they were told by Trump. And all statements to the1/6 Committee were make under oath.

    So your "kangaroo court" excuse is more lame than a broken leg.

    Bullshit. It was mostly statements by Bannon, Kushner, Ivanka, Trump aides, Pence, and other Republicans and Republican operatives. They said what they saw, what they said, what they knew, and what they were told by Trump. And all statements to the1/6 Committee were make under oath. Comments by the Committee members were limited mostly to opening statements. You just want an excuse for not watching what you know you should see.

    You don't trust what Ivanka says about her daddy? How about AG Barr?

    Oh, you mean like AG Barr saying Trump's claim of a stolen election is "bullshit"?

    And none of it amounted to a hill of beans, with our significant distortions of what was actually said.

    We'll know if you watched it too because you'll be spouting a bunch of hysterical propaganda.

    No need to repeat what I said which was completely accurate. I watch committee hearings from time to time because they can be entertaining political theater. A hearing which is staged to be political theater doesn't appeal because it is all coreographed. I don't think politicians make good actors. Hope you enjoyed it though.

    Only the completely "brainwashed" and easily led "tools" would be gullible enough to watch a "kangaroo" court perform their "scripted kabuki theater" from a government that now resembles a 1950's banana republic.

    These orchestrated theatrics are for those types who claimed they were "straight" and then tuned in for every episode of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”

    I don't think they're going to show ALL the evidence. Much of it will be saved for the Justice Department when they prosecute the instigators of the insurrection.

    Nobody has to watch the Jan 6 committies hearings, you know why? Because the FBI already did the investigation. And you know what the FBI said? There was non connections between the Jan 6 riots and the white house. You can find numerous articles about that from 2021. Call me crazy but I doubt that Nancy Pelosi and 6 hand picked democrats and 2 hand picked never trumpers are going to show us anything that the FBI has not already looked into.

    Just like Russia gate and Quid pro Quo resulted in not a single conviction for anything actually related to what was alleged right? Yeah this will be another nothing burger designed to distract people from the democrats failing economy.

    The big lie.... law enforcement officers “lost their lives as a result of the attack.”

    On a personal note, I assume many of the board's progressives feel the same way, it's nice to have posts written on the subject of 1/6 and all it entails, totally vindicated by what we heard last night and what we were told we will hear in the coming weeks. Liz Cheney's detailing of the evidence they will present was, if you'll pardon the phrase, a "I told ya so" moment.

    Do the names Gates, Stone, Flynn, Manafort, and Papadopoulos ring a bell?

    Fox did not televise them, but Tucker ran them in the background while interviewing guests who pointed out the absurdity of what Cheney was blabbing about.

    They weren't really hearings in the traditional sense. They were a sort of Benediction for those members of the Church of The Poisoned Mind. Instead of the High Priest being Anthony Fauci, it was Priestess Cheney.

    "and all it entails" the very subject they will never touch is the lack security of the overseers Pelosi and ilk and the Capitol Police after being forewarned and the guard offered by Trump.. The blood of Ashli Babbitt is on Pelosi's hands, CP, and the rest on this committee as they try to play this January 6 for what they allowed to happen. The protestors should never have been allowed assess into the Capitol, and that was accomplished only because of the failure of the security that day...it was their job to protect the Capitol and they failed miserably... no excuse....

    "Connections"? Who said anything about "connections"? What the hell are you talking about?

    Are you understanding what is going on here?

    If there were "connections" that would be earth-shattering, of course. But I think you probably made up some pretty inventive narrative in your mind

    You don't need to say that you are not following this because that's pretty clear.
