Here's the first hearing. I'm watching it now, about 2 hours after it was recorded live:

One sided sham show?.... no thanks!!!

I watch it with my eyes shut and my ears plugged. That way I can be informed and uninformed at the same time.

How can you trust hearing that totally refuses to put on the other side?.....

I am kind of crazy but I would like to see it. Not because I support them, but to see what we can use against them.

The committee made up of trump's enemies are accusing him of a crime that was proven during impeachment to be false. In other words he committed no crime, no crime, no s******n.

Now it is true there was some s*******s acts occuring by bad actors but Trump was not one of them. Sure, joe Biden a v**ed plus Donald Trump's v**es when added together means that nearly 90% of the public v**ed. That's untrue therefore it is prudent to question the e******n.

Now while the questioning is going on, many were rushing the process. Which after the r**t the certification was greatly rushed. Haste makes waste and what a waste it did create!

Now, I believe that there was c***ting going on but that's another issue. True supporters of trump would have listened to what was going on on the floor, not stormed the capital. Why were the violent people let in by c*****l p****e?

I want to see how they answer or even discuss this question as well as others.

It will go down in history that this presentation of J** 6, although against Trump, will be the Democrats last stand. Trump did nothing wrong but congressional leadership from pence to peloski did many thing's wrong.

Will they address that? Guess I'll have to find out.....

After watching 2000 Mules (Dinesh D'Souza), the few minutes of this joke of a hearing that I watched caused me to smile. They're all so serious about how "This was the most secure e******n ever" and "There was no wide-spread v***r f***d". I know I'm not the only one who thinks the timing of this means it's going to be recognized as the farce that it is. They want you to forget about the economy, inflation, the border, the potential for widespread warfare, the fact that there are still hundreds of American Patriots locked up without due process, and all the rest and just focus on a******n, guns, and Orange Man Bad. Good luck with that in November...(P.S. see the movie if you haven't already and share what you learned!)

"They want you to forget about the economy, inflation, the border, the potential for widespread warfare, the fact that there are still hundreds of American Patriots locked up without due process, and all the rest and just focus on a******n, guns, and Orange Man Bad."

You hit the nail on the head!

That's the spirit! I've done that before, when I was looking at something I didn't like. At least you will get _some_ information out of it, and you're leaving yourself open to the possibility that you might be surprised.

It might have looked more two-sided if more Republicans would have participated. From pretty early in the process, it seemed clear that almost all of them did not want to participate. It would have been sensible for them to want to investigate what happened on J*** 6; I've seen a lot of video about it, some of which was taken by the participants themselves; and there's no way _that_ event shouldn't be investigated.

Almost all Republicans in both Houses of Congress have refused or declined to participate in the investigation of J*** 6.

Then, after this group (chaired by Bennie Thompson) was formed, it invited some Republican congresspeople to appear before it. But they wouldn't do that voluntarily. They _could_ have appeared, and then we'd be hearing wh**ever it is that _they_ say happened (so then maybe you'd be hearing "the other side", if there is an "other side"). But they didn't, even when specifically invited.

Later, they were _subpoenaed_ to appear before the committee. That's what it takes to get those Republicans to give their side of the story officially under oath.

Lately some Republican people (maybe not Congresspeople, but other Republicans who are advisors to the president) have so resisted giving their side of the story that they'd rather go to jail than do it (when subpoenaed).

"As the J*** 6 select committee struggles to get to the bottom of what happened last January at the U.S. Capitol, one obstacle is the refusal of some members of Congress to provide information about their potential role in the i**********n. This is an unusual situation, but congressional power in this arena is clear: Congress can subpoena its own members to provide documents or testimony to the committee."

Who or what is this "other side" that you want to see? The committee has been using official sworn testimony from witnesses. Did you want Tucker Carlson or Donald Trump to give their story to Congress under oath?

Well I watched the production and have now decided that the committee is a waste of time and money.

My reason is simply because everyone on the committee is either a Democrat or a republican that h**es Trump.

Look guys, and nowadays I suppose it is to be expected, but there is no quest for t***h but rather a wild persecution of a former president. You know I could and have done the same thing, that this committee is doing.

I can flood my audience with information, overwhelming information, to prove my point and a majority of people at the time would buy it. That is what this committee is doing, overwhelming the audience with half-t***hs. But in the end as I was proven wrong and had to apologize, so will this committee in time, if like me, they have any.ounce of conscience, honesty, and integrity.

First off, you cannot compare J** 6, 2021 with the Klu Klux klan. The KKK was originally a southern special forces group for the south. After the war they were a r*******n organization that did practice acts of s******n. They attacked the railroad.

On J** 6, these people protested the inconsistencies of the 2020 e******n, which I agreed there were. However knowing that our representatives are not for the people but for themselves, I know that any objection would be dismissed and ultimately it happened.

It was dismissed in court, it was dismissed on J** 6th. So that is that. If I were to advise Trump I would have said, "there are alternatives, in gracefully accepting defeat. We can still win in the end but for now give them what they want" he would have listened yet no one gave him that advice.

Yes, he was angry and his anger was justified. However, we know Trump was upset, but others could have stopped J** 6. Like Mike Pence and Nancy Peloski. But they did nothing. Trump authorized 20,000 national guard troops and was flat out denied by the mayor of DC as well as Peloski so what happened became real.

But do we see the leadership's testimony....where's Pulaski"s testimony? Is this a fair investigation? Or another Michael Moore production?

No, this is a made up, made for TV, last ditch effort designed to be a drama to win the sympathy of the public. Are you swayed?

Where's the real evidence? Not the ideology. Not the rethoric, or the hatred of trump, but the t***h of the matter. All Americans can understand trumps anger, but I can't understand the derilection of duty on behalf of the 535 members of Congress. If you believe this production, then you will see that Donald Trump was stronger than Congress.and that's impossible!

I don't know about you, but I am under no illusions about who our enemies are.
The most dangerous right now is that mob of c*******ts in the DC asylum.

I don't really need to hear any more of their lies or see any more of their Soviet seances.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

N**i Pelosi selected every member that serves on the J*** 6 c*******e.

Republicans had no say in whether or not they served on the committee.
