Wow, these people were not invited. Had that been the case, there were plenty of doors, which normal people use to enter and exit buildings.

When you have guests over to your house, do they enter through your windows?

And the Capitol police were not holding the doors open for anyone.

 

You are not the only one to see this. Former Secret Service agents and other experts point out the Secret Service almost never communicates with texts. They can't. Protecting the president and others depends on real time second by second communications so they depend on radios. And we have all seen that ourselves. Its just common to see Secret Service agents with ear pieces talking to each other over the radio.


So why wasn't that the case with Trump's security detail on January 6th? Because all those radio communications are all automatically recorded and preserved. And they did not want anyone else to know that they were really doing and what was going on. And most of all didn't want any records of it.

 

Trying to cover something up, or conceal it, is the best evidence of consciousness of guilt. After that, you can't claim you thought you were doing the right thing.

The Jan. 6 committee began its eighth hearing by laying out how former President Trump abdicated his duty by declining to take action as his supporters were attacking the Capitol. The hearing featured clips of several witnesses testifying both to the efforts of those around the former president to get him to do something about the riot, and to Trump’s insistence that nothing should be done. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was one of those who couldn’t believe Trump failed to respond.

“You’re the commander in chief, you’ve got an assault going on on the Capitol of the United States of America, and there’s nothing? No call? Nothing? Zero?” Milley told the committee in an interview.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley on Trump’s inaction during the Capitol insurrection: “You’re the commander in chief, you’ve got an assault going on on the Capitol … and there’s nothing? No call? Nothing? Zero?”

Thursday’s hearing is focusing on what Trump was doing during the 187 minutes that elapsed between the conclusion of his speech at the rally that preceded the Capitol attack and when he finally tweeted for his “very special” supporters who broke into the building to “go home.” It has been reported that the former president spent most of that time watching the riot unfold on TV while rebuffing efforts to convince him to take action. The committee thoroughly confirmed this reporting on Thursdsay.


“What you will learn is that President Trump sat in his dining room and watched the attack on television, while his senior-most staff, closest advisers, and family members begged him to do what was expected of any American President,” Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.) teased at the beginning of the hearing, which will feature testimony from Matthew Pottinger and Sarah Matthews, two administration figures who were in the White House on Jan. 6. and resigned later that day. The hearing also featured video testimony from witnesses like former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, who said he had no knowledge that Trump did anything to stop the attack.

Rep.

The head of Trump's protective detail, there when the former president wanted to be taken to the Capitol on January 6, is among the 24 Secret Service members whose January 5 and 6 texts are missing
Taiyler Simone Mitchell
Thu, July 21, 2022 at 9:53 PM·3 min read

• 
  The Department of Homeland Security requested texts from 24 individuals in the US Secret Service.
  
  
• The list includes Robert Engel, Trump's lead agent, and James Murray, the head of the agency.
  
  
• The Secret Service has been accused of deleting relevant text messages relating to the January 6 Capitol riot.
  

Two of the Secret Service agents whose text messages were requested by the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general include the head of former President Donald Trump's protective detail and the head of the US Secret Service, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Robert Engel, Trump's lead agent, and James Murray, the outgoing director of the Secret Service, who is leaving on July 30 for a new role at Snapchat, are two of the 24 agents whose messages from December 7, 2020, through January 8, 2021, were requested as part of an inspector general probe into the agency's response on January 6, 2021, and whose messages cannot be found.

Last week the inspector general alerted the House January 6 committee about the missing messages. The agency has submitted a single text message to the select committee and maintains that they are cooperating with the investigation.

It is unclear what prompted the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general, Joseph Cuffari, to seek the phone records of those 24 agents around the time of January 6, The Times reported.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, previously told the House committee investigating the insurrection that, as he demanded his protection detail take him in the direction of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, Trump lunged at Engel in an attempt to grab the steering wheel of the car when he was told they could not go to the Capitol.

On Wednesday night, the DHS's deputy inspector general requested that the Secret Service cease its search for purged text messages sent by agents around the time of insurrection, as not to "interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation," per the letter first obtained by CNN on Thursday.

"To ensure the integrity of our investigation, the USSS. must not engage in any further investigative activities regarding the collection and preservation of the evidence referenced above," the Homeland Security Department's deputy inspector general, Gladys Ayala, said in a letter to the Secret Service, The Times reported. "This includes immediately refraining from interviewing potential witnesses, collecting devices, or taking any other action that would interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation."

The January 6 House Select committee subpoenaed the agency on July 15 after the Department of Homeland Security inspector general, Joseph Cuffari, accused the service of deleting relevant text messages.

In a July 13 letter to the committee, Cuffari claimed that the messages had only been erased after the OIG requested that the Secret Service agent's communication be turned in during an investigation into the Capitol attack.

The agency said that a "pre-planned, three-month system migration" caused the data to be lost, according to Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, chairman of the committee, in a letter announcing the subpoena.

The deletion of evidence could be a violation of the Federal Records Act, Insider's Lloyd Lee reported Wednesday.

The agency has also added that it won't be able to retrieve messages to hand over to the committee.

In an emailed statement to Insider, Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielm said: "The Secret Service is in receipt of the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General's letter. We have informed the January 6th Select Committee of the Inspector General's request and will conduct a thorough legal review to ensure we are fully cooperative with all oversight efforts and that they do not conflict with each other."

The Department of Homeland Security and the January 6 House Select Committee did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

You will see treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans screaming why doesn't the J6 committee allow Secret Service agents to testify. As if they are willing to. At least two members of Trump's security detain tried to call Cassidy Hutchinson a liar when she said she was told Trump was so irate when they told him they were not taking him to the Capitol he lunged at the steering wheel of the SUV and when they tried to subdue him Trump assaulted one of the agents.


But you notice that was just some public statement they made. And so the J6 committee said both of these cannot be true. Somebody is lying. So lets get you guys in for another interview under oath so we can get to the bottom of this and find out who is lying. Hutchinson or you.

Yeah fat chance of that. Just running your mouth is easy. Saying it under oath not so much.


Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger Say Secret Service Agents Won’t Testify About Jan. 6 Under Oath

Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the only two Republicans on the special House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riots, indicated on separate Sunday morning news shows that Secret Service agents have been relatively uncooperative. On ABC News’ This Week, Kinzinger specified that the committee wants agents to testify under oath, but that they have been unwilling to do so thus far. When asked if the agency is “refusing to cooperate,” Kinzinger said that “that’s a question you have to ask the Secret Service, you have to ask those particular people.” The committee member then defended Cassidy Hutchinson, the witness who testified about Trump’s actions around Secret Service members, calling her a “very credible witness.” As Reuters reported, Cheney went on Fox News Sunday and said that the committee is investigating missing Secret Service text messages, as well as “the extent to which we have not had the kind of cooperation that we really need to have.”

Well??
Has anyone asked the Secret Service why those agents won't testify under oath?
No??
Why not??!?!?

Cause at least as of June 29th the Secret Service had notified Nancy's star chamber that the agents would be pleased to testify.
Under oath.
In front of the Committee.

Fox News’ Bret Baier Outlines Devastating Impact of Hearings for Trump: He Looks ‘Horrific’ Not Acting for 187 Minutes on Jan. 6
By Natalie KorachJul 24th, 2022, 3:10 pm
6753 comments



Fox News Anchor Bret Baier discussed how damning the January 6th House select committee hearings are becoming for former President Donald Trump on Sunday.

Last week, the select committee held its eighth hearing investigating the Capitol riots of January 6th, in which it called on former Deputy National Security Adviser Matthew Pottinger and former Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Matthews to the witness stand in front of Congress. The hearing was framed around the 187 minutes Trump spent in the White House in the midst of the riots, prior to speaking out against them. The committee additionally aired outtakes from a video speech Trump made the day following the Capitol attack.


Following the hearing, Trump took to Truth Social and angrily ranted about the two-and-a-half-hour hearing.

When asked how much the recent testimony impacts public opinion of Trump on Sunday’s edition of Fox’s MediaBuzz, Baier said that “I think there are some questions that remain, and the biggest is what exactly did he say about the National Guard on January 4th.”

“If that’s the case and that testimony comes out,” continued Baier, “it kind of squelches or downplays the thought that he wanted this insurrection.”

The Fox News anchor dug into Trump saying “laying out all of these 187 minutes makes him look horrific. It really does.”

“And it’s for everybody to see, and the president’s inaction and the vice president’s action getting on the phone is very telling,” remarked Baier.

Baier argued, however, that he’s not entirely convinced “how much it moves the needle with Republicans,” noting that it could be possibly impactful for moderate Republicans and Independents.

According to Baier, the most “powerful” part about the January 6th select committee hearings is that the most damaging testimony has come from Republican witnesses.

“All of these people who season testifying at one point or another wanted Trump to win,” argued the Fox anchor, continuing that “They served under his leadership. They wanted him to be a success.”


“I think it’s having an effect, and his decision-making of whether he’s running or when he announces may tie somehow to this January 6th committee and its actions,” concluded Baier.

The Fox News anchor has been vocal in his shock at the evidence that has come forth from the House select committee, comparing details of Trump’s behavior to the events of Watergate. Baier has additionally been skeptical of Trump’s claims on Truth Social following bombshell testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson.

With FOXNews going after Trump he is in trouble.

 

Trump has as much chance of reelection as Liz Cheney.
Nothing has changed except the rhetoric from desperate despicables.

 

Laughable!

This was kind of funny to watch in real time. Merrick Garland and the DOJ are under intense criticism for appearing to not be doing enough to go after Trump and his inner circle for the armed insurrection and attempted coup. And Andrew Weissmann, a former prosecutor for ex-special counsel Robert Mueller, said he was pessimistic about what the DOJ was doing because if they were going after Trump and his inner circle we would know about it. And he no sooner said that then the news broke about Pence's chief of staff testifying to the grand jury. Opps.



Former Mueller prosecutor highlights a piece of Trump's Jan. 7 speech that might expose a White House cover-up

Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) tweeted a video compilation from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress

Among the things included in the video were questions to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump about the draft of a speech that former President Donald Trump would give on Jan. 7 to help stave off his Cabinet secretaries from invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.

The Jan. 6 committee asked several questions about the speech and what was crossed out by Trump, but Andrew Weissmann, a former prosecutor for ex-special counsel Robert Mueller, noticed something that was included.

"I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders," the speech said. "America is, and must always be, a nation of law and order."



The statement is a lie. Trump never deployed the National Guard or law enforcement.







Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline White House," Weissmann explained that therein lies a Trump administration cover-up.

"One of the things I was struck by was not what was crossed out but something that was in there and that was the statement that 'I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders,'" quoted Weissmann. "So, if I was the Justice Department right now I would view that as a cover-up that Jared Kushner, and Stephen Miller and the former president of the United States engaged in to make it seem like the president had not engaged in a coup and he actually was against what happened on Jan. 6th. And that was actually part of the planned speech. And that's the kind of thing that we want to see the department doing is interviewing those people and issuing grand jury subpoenas and if necessary putting those people in the grand jury and forcing them to testify and account for their actions."

He noted that if that was happening it would be well known by now because while lawyers and jurors must keep the proceeding secret, witnesses can speak out that they appeared before a grand jury.
t

"So I'm waiting to see that kind of aggressive action by the department," he continued.

He also quoted Punchbowl's Mike Schmidt, who described the DOJ as like a tank that is patient and slow and not a lot happens until they're aimed at the target. That's only when everything explodes.

"I hope that is right. I am somewhat pessimistic, although I do think the Jan. 6th committee has sort of lit a fire under the Department of Justice and that's why you're seeing the heartfelt statements by the attorney general," said Weissmann.

Last week, Attorney General Merrick Garland was short with some of the reporters asking if he was going to do anything about the obvious crimes that were being revealed from the Trump White House by the committee. All Garland would say is that no one is above the law.

"There is a lot of speculation on what the department is doing, what it's not doing, what our theories are and what they aren't, and there will continue to be speculation," said Garland. "That's because of the central tenant of the way in which the Justice Department investigates, a central tenant of the rule of law is that we do not do our investigations in public. This is the most wide-ranging investigation — and the most important investigation — that the Justice Department has ever entered into. And we have done so because this effort to upend a legitimate election, transferring power from one administration to another, cuts at the fundamentals of American democracy. We have to get this right. And for people who are concerned, as every American should be, about protecting democracy, we have to do two things: we have to hold accountable every person who is criminally responsible for trying to overturn a legitimate election, and we must do it in a way filled with integrity and professionalism, the way the Justice Department does elections. Both of these are necessary in order to achieve justice and to protect our democracy."

When pressed on it, specifically with the mention of Trump, Garland snapped at the reporter saying that he doesn't know how else to say it other than no person in the United States is ever above the law.

Liz Cheney serves notice to Ginni Thomas that the Jan 6th committee is prepared to subpoena her

Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) left no doubt that the House committee investigating the Jan. 6th insurrection will definitely consider issuing a subpoena to Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, if she refuses to testify.

During her appearance with host Jake Tapper, the conservative lawmaker was asked about Thomas' attempts to subvert the 2020 presidential election results and whether the committee will press her to testify.

"She was writing to them about efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, not to mention her correspondence with Arizona lawmakers pushing fake electors. Is your committee planning on talking to her?" host Tapper asked.

"We are," Cheney replied. "The committee is engaged with her counsel and hope she will agree to come in voluntarily. The committee is prepared to contemplate a subpoena if she does not."

"I hope it doesn't get to that and I hope she comes voluntarily," she continued. "We've spoken with numbers of people who are similarly situated in terms of the discussions that she was having as you mentioned. It's very important for us to speak with her and, as I said, I hope she'll agree to do so voluntarily -- I'm sure we'll contemplate a subpoena if she won't."

TV Ratings: January 6 Hearings Draw 17.7M in Primetime
The last of the summer hearings by the congressional committee draws the second-largest audience for them.

The final hearing of the summer for Congress’ Jan. 6 select committee drew another sizable TV audience.

According to Nielsen, 17.67 million people watched the primetime hearing across 10 broadcast and cable outlets. That’s down from the 20 million who watched the first televised hearing (across 11 channels) on June 9, but significantly more people than watched any of the six daytime hearings in between the two primetime sessions.



The eight hearings averaged about 13.1 million viewers, with the daytime sessions drawing between 10.16 million and 13.23 million. The committee plans more hearings in September.











MSNBC had the biggest audience for any individual network Thursday with 4.88 million viewers for its coverage of the hearings. ABC had 3.98 million viewers, followed by CNN (3.18 million), NBC (2.69 million) and CBS (2.68 million). CNBC, CNNe, Fox Business Network, NBCLX and NewsNation made up the rest of the audience.

CNN (0.66 rating) and ABC (0.65) led the key news demographic of adults 25-54 in primetime. NBC averaged 0.56, MSNBC 0.53 and CBS 0.42.

As it did on June 9, Fox News did not offer full coverage of the hearing but instead kept its usual lineup of opinion shows. The network averaged 2.66 million viewers and a 0.3 rating in the 25-54 demo in primetime.
