'It's just horrendous': Terrified Pelosi and top Dems huddled in Capitol office on January 6 and frantically called Trump's cabinet, Virginia Governor and DC cops begging for help, new video shows
2022-10-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The January 6 committee showed a seven-minute video compilation showing what happened in the hours lawmakers were hiding in a secure location while Trump's supporters stormed the US Capitol

  • It included scenes of Pelosi phoning for help alongside Republican lawmakers like Mitch McConnell

  • One clip shows her telling Senate Majority Leader Schumer: 'I'm gonna call the effing Secretary of DoD'

  • Another video shows Pelosi tersely replying to an officer who refused to give them a timing estimate: 'Just pretend for a moment that we're the Pentagon, or the White House, or some other entity that was under siege'

  • The hearing concluded with a unanimous surprise vote to subpoena Trump himself

  • Trump responded on his Truth Social app: 'Why didn't the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago? Why did they wait until the very end...Because the Committee is a total "BUST"'

  • The January 6 committee's Thursday afternoon hearing is the ninth in this current series of presentations

  • It could be the panel's final public event and its future is uncertain next year

  • Other new evidence includes Secret Service communications and a video of Mike Pompeo's deposition

#11  Thoughts:

Based on the sham Alex Jones "testimony" show, I would get some clear ground-rules before agreeing.

I am pretty sure that the subpoena has all the force of a Bazooka Joe comic with respect to compelling an appearance of a former president with regard to testimony for his time in office.

There is no chance this takes place before this congress is in lame duck mode.

If the CNN truck shows up in front of Mar Lago, and the tactical team start to rally, we will see whether the Secret Service is as corrupt as the FBI.

#10  Even the devil gets an advocate but on the J6 committee Donald Trump had no advocate. Only two Republicans were on the committee and neither of them could argue with any credibility that they do not hate Donald Trump. If you're Donald Trump and your defense attorney is Liz Cheney, you're screwed. But then, this is why the J6 committee has no credibility.

#7  #3 The J6 committee now wants to subpoena DJT...less than 48 hours after it becomes clear that Biden has committed an impeachable offense (asking the Saudis to do him a solid and wait on the production cuts till after the election).

Mike for the win.

Impeach Biden. This crime cannot be allowed to stand. Impeach that SOB

#3  ...Let me put a thought out there: The J6 committee now wants to subpoena DJT...less than 48 hours after it becomes clear that Biden has committed an impeachable offense (asking the Saudis to do him a solid and wait on the production cuts till after the election).

As a tailor of my acquaintance once said, "I believe in coincidences. They happen all the time. I just don't trust coincidences."

#1  See? They almost had 'em! All in one tight barrel. If only they hadn't been armed with just slogans and water bottles. They'll probably never give anyone the chance again. That's what the J6, domestic terror, militia hoopla is all about.

Constitutionally righteous protest marches... sheeeyit!
