\u0027Those who invaded our Capitol and battled law enforcement for hours were motivated by what President Trump had told them: That the election was stolen\u0027

Former U.S President Donald Trump is seen on video during the hearing of the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, in Washington, D.C., June 9, 2022.Since leaving office last year, Trump has kept up his false claims that his 2020 election loss was the result of widespread fraud, an assertion that has been rejected by multiple courts, state election officials and members of his own administration.

Trump, publicly flirting with another White House run in 2024, called the committee in a statement on Thursday “political Thugs.” A total of six hearings are expected this month as the Democratic-led committee attempts to reverse Republican efforts to downplay or deny the violence of the attack, with five months to go until the Nov. 8 midterm elections that will determine which party controls both the House and the Senate for the following two years.The Washington Post

Biden on Thursday described the attack as “a clear, flagrant violation of the Constitution,” telling reporters: “I think these guys and women broke the law, tried to turn around the result of an election.”

The Capitol crack down is nothing but a witch hunt .Those people did cross the line but to treated them like armed insurrectionists is stupid ! ... There are bigger riots at Concerts or football games. They were baited only to set an example which the rabid media bought into.

 OK, but to be fair when are democrats going to be held accountable for participating in the incitement of riots across the US that resulted in billions of $ of destruction and over 20 people killed in order to win an election? 

The unending LIES and HOAXES of the Democrats and Warmongering Neocons WHO attempted MANY coups against Donald Trump through the Russia Collusion Hoax, and TWO 'impeachments'!

It won't amount to anything. The GOP is too corrupt to admit Trumps obvious coup attempt, but it will be nice to have this on the historic record. There will be unanimous agreement it was a coup when the sycophants are all long gone.

If offering National guard troops to Pelosi and the Washington mayor days earlier with no response from either and telling the crowd at the park, now lets march peacefully and respectfully to the Capitol to let our voices be heard is lighting the flame. But you won't hear that.

The FBI lit the flame

I hear so many people hinting that open rebellion, anarchy if not civil war could be the result of this extreme polarisation in politics.. The more disenfranchised people get , the more it is possible..

Trump repeatedly offered the National Guard for security and his offer was repeatedly rejected. Why? Who opened the electronically locked doors to the Capital Building, SpeakerPelosi ?

I heard a bunch of ADULTS with no life who decided to storm the Capitol because they have no purpose in life. This gave their lives meaning and then when caught they blamed Trump. Tonight was RIVETING! 2 hours of what we already knew all because of fear Trump will run again.

Rubbish
