to a committee member, jamie raskin, in his first interview since the hearing. there was never before seen testimony from trump s inner circle, including attorney general bill barr. and the former president s daughter and senior adviser at funky trump. there was also disturbing new footage of the violent attack that took place on the capitol. the committee made out exactly how the hearings will show that this was a culmination of an attempted coup and they say the former president was at the absolute epicenter of it all. here is just some of what we saw. donald trump, the president of the united states, spurred a mob of domestic enemies. to march down the capital and subvert democracy. i made it clear that they didn t agree with the idea of putting out this stuff, i told the president was bullish. it i respect attorney general barr. so i accepted what he said was saying. president trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and let the blame of this attack. president t
they were so many naysayers, stuff, i have a question, what would happen if the committee didn t have this hearing tonight? if congress never got a chance to speak for itself? and the hearings are about the legal issues and the perpetrators. but they are also a chance for congress to draw a line in the sand, and announced that violence against our democracy will never never be met with silence. now legally, a crime requires two things. it requires criminal intent, and requires a criminal. act and for criminal intent, the was really established today with respect to donald trump. and really powerful ways. donald trump was told repeatedly, he lost the election. he was told by his dad of people, he was told it by bill barr. their attorney general, and most devastatingly, his own daughter thought so. and said she agreed with bill barr. who called a poll sheds, and if bill barr knows about every, day he knows a bubble shot. and it was the respect of the
we are talking about dick cheney s daughter. and before the insurrection, she voted with donald trump over 90% of the time. so besides laying out a really good case tonight, did she lay out a case that reminded america that this is about democracy? not politics. she is the one that is constantly pointed, out this is about notes of the constitution. what she is not going against donald trump, she is not going in favor of the democrats, she is there for the constitution and i think she did an elegant job of doing that tonight and i think people do need to realize, this is an act of political courage by her. she is not from a state where she can get by if some democrats vote for her. she is from a state where 70% of the people interstates are republicans. there is no way that there is enough democrats, if every single democrat voted for her. i don t think there would be enough to get her over the top, if in fact trump pick in wyoming, and of having the kind of vote totals that looks lik
on the day american people realize that about liz cheney? because liz cheney has just been painted as this anti trump politician. she is a true conservative republican. we are talking about dick cheney s daughter. and before the insurrection, she voted with donald trump over 90% of the time. so besides laying out a really good case tonight, did she lay out a case that reminded america that this is about democracy? not politics. she is the one that is constantly pointed, out this is about notes of the constitution. this is she is not going against donald trump, she is not going in favor of the democrats she is there for the constitution and i think she did an eloquent job of doing that tonight and i think people do need to realize, this is an act of political courage by her. she is not from a state where she can get by us some democrats vote for her. she is from a state where 70% of the people interstates are republicans. there is no way that there is enough democrats, if every
streets of our state capitals or the u.s. capitol or school board meetings and so on. because people understand the way donald trump used these domestic violent extremist groups. but they ve used him as well. they have grown in power. these are groups that could only gather 500 at their unite the right rally in charlottesville in august of 2017. now they were the vanguard stormtroopers of a rally of a march of tens of thousands of people that turned into a mob insurrection that nearly toppled the government of the united states and overthrew an election. that s a pretty heavy experience for these people. but we ve got to make sure that the end of it. and that we are not going to dissolve into violent clans all over america. that can t be the future of the greatest multiracial, multi ethnic, multi religious constitutional democracy that ever existed. we ve got to keep growing as a
