Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo testified Tuesday before the panel, while Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano walked out of his own deposition after just 15 minutes following a dispute over his demand to record the meeting, and Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell discussed the latest developments on MSNBC's "Way Too Early."

"They spoke to Pompeo and spoke to Mastriano yesterdaytrying to get more details in separate lines of inquiry," Lowell said. "The deposition with Pompeo was aimed at the 25th Amendment discussions that happened off of Jan. 6. Mastriano was more about the days and weeks leading up to the Capitol attack, as well as the day of Jan. 6 itself."

Lowell said the investigation was gaining momentum after the public hearings shook loose new evidence and compelled witnesses to cooperate.

"You're seeing the committee fan out and investigate a number of different lines of inquiry through the month of August," he said. "This has been the busiest month so far, at least for their investigation, which is saying something when they have been doing this for 11 months. That's really significant. A lot is teeing up to their interim report they want to release in mid-September when the House comes back into session. They hold series of hearings around the release of that report, so I think they're trying to do a lot of housekeeping, trying to tie together loose ends at the moment."

Donald Trump has lost the confidence of both of the major newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

Under the headline, "The President Who Stood Still on Jan. 6,"The Wall Street Journaleditorial board harshly criticized the former president.

"No matter your views of the Jan. 6 special committee, the facts it is laying out in hearings are sobering. The most horrifying to date came Thursday in a hearing on President Trump’s conduct as the riot raged and he sat watching TV, posting inflammatory tweets and refusing to send help," the editorial board wrote.

"The committee’s critics are right that it lacks political balance," the newspaper wrote. "Still, the brute facts remain: Mr. Trump took an oath to defend the Constitution, and he had a duty as Commander in Chief to protect the Capitol from a mob attacking it in his name. He refused. He didn’t call the military to send help. He didn’t call Mr. Pence to check on the safety of his loyal VP. Instead he fed the mob’s anger and let the riot play out."

The editorial concluded, "Character is revealed in a crisis, and Mr. Pence passed his Jan. 6 trial. Mr. Trump utterly failed his."

Trump was also criticized by the NY Post editorial board under the headline, "Trump's silence on Jan. 6 is damning."

"As his followers stormed the Capitol, calling on his vice president to be hanged, President Donald Trump sat in his private dining room, watching TV, doing nothing. For three hours, seven minutes," the editorial board wrote.

"There has been much debate over whether Trump’s rally speech on Jan. 6, 2021, constituted “incitement.” That’s somewhat of a red herring. What matters more — and has become crystal clear in recent days — is that Trump didn’t lift a finger to stop the violence that followed," the NY Post wrote. "And he was the only person who could stop what was happening. He was the only one the crowd was listening to. It was incitement by silence."

The tabloid concluded he is unfit for office.

"His only focus was to find any means — damn the consequences — to block the peaceful transfer of power.

There is no other explanation, just as there is no defense, for his refusal to stop the violence," the newspaper wrote. "It’s up to the Justice Department to decide if this is a crime. But as a matter of principle, as a matter of character, Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again."

When the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection subpoenaed Pat Cipollone, Donald Trump’s White House counsel, in late June, Fox News host Laura Ingraham scoffed. In trying to force the testimony of her “close friend,” Ingraham told her viewers, the “desperate” committee was attempting a “Hail Mary” that would ultimately produce nothing of interest.

It didn’t turn out that way. The committee produced clips from Cipollone’s eight-hour deposition during Tuesday’s meeting in which he described an Oval Office meeting where Trump contemplated a plan to have the Defense Department seize voting machines to substantiate his false claims that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from him — revelations that one Fox legal commentator described as “breathtaking” and “very disturbing.”

But responding on her show that night, Ingraham mentioned Cipollone only to quip about a committee member mispronouncing his name. The Fox host presented the hearing as a “snoozefest” during which “we learned … basically nothing substantial that we didn't know 18 months ago.” She offered a series of snide comments about the committee’s members and witnesses while carefully hiding any of the hearing’s insights from her viewers

[jan 6 snooze fest vid]

ingraham’s yawning rebuttal is in line with her right-wing network’s broader handling of Tuesday’s hearing. Fox hosts have previously tried to counterprogram the committee’s doings, poke holes in its witnesses, defend its targets, and complain about its processes. On Tuesday night, the network largely responded with silence — Jesse Watters Primetime, Tucker Carlson Tonight, and Hannity all completely ignored the hearing. On Wednesday morning, Fox & Friends’ coverage was limited to a single news brief.

Fox, by shielding its viewers from the information the committee details, is continuing its complicity in Trump’s effort to subvert the election and the resulting mob attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The December 18, 2020, White House meeting discussed during Tuesday’s hearing appears to be a key pivot point for Trump that opened the door for the violence of January 6. During the meeting — held four days after the Electoral College voted to officially make Joe Biden the president-elect — Trump contemplated having the Defense Department seize voting machines and examine them for evidence of fraud and appointing the pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell as a special counsel to investigate purported election crimes.

Over six hours of debate before the president, marked by screaming and participants nearly coming to blows, Trump outside advisers Powell, Michael Flynn, and Patrick Byrne faced off with Cipollone and two other White House aides.

Cipollone, in clips from his testimony the committee played on Tuesday, said he was alarmed that Powell and her allies kept saying that there was evidence of widespread voter fraud that they would not produce, and described the Defense Department plan as “a terrible idea for the country” for which Trump lacked legal authority.

Trump ultimately decided against going forward with the plan. But shortly after the meeting concluded, he sent a tweet summoning his supporters to Washington, D.C. for a protest on January 6, when Congress would convene at the U.S. Capitol to approve the Electoral College vote.

While news outlets had previously reported on the meeting, the hearing provided new details produced by witnesses who served in Trump’s own White House who were testifying under oath.

The hearing provided a plethora of other revelations as well, including:

• Key pro-Trump influencers and extremist elements recognized Trump’s tweet as a call to action and began planning for January 6 protests.
• Two days after Trump sent the tweet, 10 Republican members of Congress met with Trump to discuss Trump lawyer John Eastman’s plot to have Vice President Mike Pence overturn the election results during the January 6 joint session of Congress.
• Documents produced by the committee show Trump had planned to encourage supporters rallying on January 6 to march on the U.S. Capitol, and that insurrectionist leaders were aware of that plan beforehand.
• Trump spoke to his former White House adviser Steve Bannon twice on January 5. Minutes after the first call, Bannon told his podcast listeners, “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” adding: “It’s all converging. And now we’re on, as they say, the point of attack. Right. The point of attack tomorrow.”
• After Trump spoke with Pence on January 6 and Pence told him he would not aid the plot to overturn the election, Trump ordered his speechwriters to reinsert lines attacking his own vice president in the speech he planned to give to protestors later that day.

Maybe Ingraham, as a close friend of Cipollone and the person who reportedly introduced him to Trump in the first place, actually has known all of this for 18 months. But it’s certainly not information Fox regularly provides to its viewers. And that’s par for the course for Ingraham and her colleagues.

While Cipollone says he was confronting Trump’s conspiracy theorists about their lack of evidence of widespread voter fraud, Ingraham and her fellow Fox hosts were promoting Trump’s stolen election lies. When rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, Ingraham texted White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and urged him to get Trump to make them stop — but on her Fox show, she suggested antifa was behind the violence. And now she and her fellow Fox hosts are alternately ignoring and attacking the committee’s findings.

It’s difficult to escape the conclusion that Fox is covering up revelations of Trump’s coup attempt because they regret that it failed and want to ensure future such efforts succeed.

A long list of House Republicans — from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy to Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio to House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik — deeply resent Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 select committee, which Stefanik has denounced as an “illegitimate partisan sham.” But that “sham” has presented a mountain of damning evidence against former President Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, including former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s bombshell testimony, on June 28, that Trump knew some of his supporters were armed on January 6, 2021 and wanted to march with them to the U.S. Capitol Building anyway.

Regardless of what else the committee’s hearings reveal,many House Republicans are angry that the committee exists in the first place. Journalists Alayna Treene and Jonathan Swan, in a report published by Axios on July 6, describe some ways in which House Republicans are hoping to take revenge against the January 6 committee if they regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2022 midterms.

“Key House Republicans are threatening to subpoena records of the January 6 committee if the GOP retakes the majority next year — an escalation of the party's effort to undercut the investigation's findings,” Treene and Swan explain. “Why it matters: Fresh talk of 2023 subpoenas, following last week's vivid testimony by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, means the committee's ‘final report,’ expected this fall, may be far from the last word on the Capitol attack.”

McCarthy and Jordan, the Axios reporters note, “have been threatening unspecified subpoenas in retaliation.” And Rep. Rodney Jones of Illinois, on June 9, promised to make a “full investigation” of the committee a top priority in 2023 if Republicans retake the House in November. But Jones lost a GOP congressional primary to Trump-backed candidate, Rep. Mary Miller.

Interviewed on condition of anonymity, a Republican source described by Treene and Swan as a “senior GOP staffer on the House Administration Committee” told Axios, “When Republicans retake the majority, we will exercise our oversight responsibilities, including subpoena authority to review all transcripts and information that the committee has access to in order to identify the truth.”

Axios also interviewed an anonymous House Republican aide, who told the publication, “The base is out for blood on subpoenas. A lot of it will just depend on how far McCarthy wants to go.”

During a presidential debate in September 2020, now-President Joe Biden gave then-President Donald Trump an opportunity to condemn violent far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and QAnon. But Trump played it coy and avoided saying anything against them, urging the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”

After Trump lost the election, those groups joined the Trump campaign in falsely claiming that the election had been stolen from him — and members of the Proud Boys, QAnon and the Oath Keepers are among the extremists who have faced charges in connection with the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building.

According to New York Times reporter Luke Broadwater, the January 6 select committee’s next hearing — which is scheduled for Tuesday, July 12 — will “reveal its findings about the connections between former President Donald J. Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election and the domestic violent extremist groups that helped to organize the siege on Congress.”

READ MORE:**Texas GOP Lieutenant Governor: 'We are being invaded' by immigrants 'just like Pearl Harbor'**

The hearing, according to Broadwater, is “expected to be” led by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Rep. Stephanie Murphy of Florida — who “plan to chart the rise of the right-wing domestic violent extremist groups that attacked the Capitol and how Mr. Trump amassed and inspired the mob.”

January 12’s hearing will follow the bombshell testimony of former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. During the committee’s June 28 hearing, the 25-year-old Hutchinson testified that on January 6, 2021, Trump knew that some of his supporters were armed but wanted to march with them to the U.S. Capitol Building anyway.

The U.S. Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Merrick Garland, has charged the leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys with seditious conspiracy. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, along with other members of the group, was charged in early June. And Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was charged in January along with ten other members of that militia group.

Business Insider’s Tom Porter reports that the January 12 hearing “will likely focus on the question of whether there was deliberate collaboration between extremists and people close to Trump, an issue which so far has remained unclear.”

READ MORE:The Supreme Court will be hearing a case that poses a ‘grave threat to American democracy’: journalist

“Trump has maintained that he did not seek to provoke violence on January 6, and did not approve of the attack, even though he has also repeatedly praised the rioters,” Porter explains. “In (a) …. presidential debate in September 2020, he attracted criticism by refusing a challenge from President Joe Biden to condemn the Proud Boys, instead sending the group into a state of euphoria by asking them to ‘stand back and stand by.’”

beclowning themselves...

the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol has been holding public hearings for two weeks now, but take a look at right-wing media and its personalities and you’d hardly know it.

Right-wing and far-right activists have largely ignored the hearings or, when they have addressed it, painted the hearings as “propaganda” or a “partisan witch hunt.” Others, still, haven’t been able to resist criticizing those Republicans they feel betrayed by.

Here’s how a few right-wing activists, many of whom have been subpoenaed for their role in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election, have responded. 

Mike Cernovich—a far-right activist and conspiracy theorist with the so-called Stop the Steal campaign—had this to say about the Jan. 6 hearings: “Nobody cares, dude!”

Cernovich had joined former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon a day before the opening hearing on the June 8:{episode:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: of Bannon’s “War Room” podcast. Asked how right-wing media, including the “War Room,” should respond to the Jan. 6 hearings—whether or not they should mention it or launch counterprogramming—Cernovich offered some counterintuitive advice. 

“Whatever we can do to get Democrats to talk more about Jan. 6 we should do, so whatever gets them hyperventilating, crying—oh, seven people died that day? Yeah, they were Trump supporters,” Cernovich said. 

In fact, five police officers:{died:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: and about 150 were injured as a result of Trump loyalists’ attack on the Capitol. Another four in the crowd died.

“But what we don’t want to lose sight of is that they are beclowning themselves, so the key for us is to stay on message. Yeah, a woman was shot in the neck and bled out,” he said. “The key to keep in mind is the Democrats look like unserious people, unfit to govern because they’re hyperventilating over an event they compare to 9/11.”

Cernovich has since called the hearings “propaganda.”

Bannon—who was indicted for refusing to respond to a Jan. 6 committee subpoena—referred to the Jan. 6 hearings as a “show trial” and lambasted Fox News for its coverage.

While major news networks carried the first primetime hearing live on June 9, Fox aired:{counterprogramming by Tucker Carlson:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}:, who took no commercial breaks less his viewers be tempted to tune into the hearing. 

But since then, the network has:{covered the Jan. 6 hearings:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: held in non primetime hours, and network analysts were so moved by Republican testimonies during Tuesday’s hearing that one said it suggests:{Trump “may be guilty of a crime”:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: and that it “shows his unfitness” for office. And that Bannon finds to be sinful.

“Fox News shows their hand—all in on taking down President Trump—now it’s out in the open—IF YOU WATCH FOX U ARE ONLY AIDING AND ABETTING THEIR ANTI-TRUMP HATE,” Bannon wrote in a June 21:{post:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: on GETTR.

“If this was a real committee, they would have another panel of witnesses like me!” said Trump lawyerCleta Mitchell—who was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee for her role in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election.

Last Tuesday, Bannon had Trump lawyer Cleta Mitchell on:{his show:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}:. Mitchell—who was on the infamous call on which Trump asked Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find votes for him—lashed out at Raffensperger. Raffensperger had testified to the Jan. 6 committee that same day about:{Trump’s efforts to pressure him:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: to overturn the election results.

“All Raffensperger cared about was getting good press from the liberal media and having all of the left-wing reporters fawning over him, and that’s why they were there today, because that’s his number one priority,” Mitchell claimed.

“If this was a real committee, they would have another panel of witnesses like me!” said Mitchell—who was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee for her role in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. She went on to call the Jan. 6 committee a “kangaroo committee.” 

Other political operatives involved in the so-called Stop the Steal disinformation campaign to keep Trump in power were clearly watching.

Ed Martin—a mentor to Ali Alexander who was subpoenaed for his role in the so-called Stop the Steal campaign—portrayed the hearings as “pure propaganda,” held “just to destroy Donald Trump.”

Ali Alexander—theleader of the so-called Stop the Steal campaignwith a penchant for violent rhetoric—doubled down on his criticism of former Vice President Mike Pence. “Pence betrayed us,” he declared on June 16, the day after the committee detailed Trump and his allies’ pressure campaign on Pence to illegally overturn the election. The committee also illustrated how this pressure campaign led rioters to call for Pence’s hanging on Jan. 6 when he refused to do Trump’s bidding. 

“Mike Pence is WRONG,” Alexander:{wrote:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: in the June 16 Telegram post. “No one asked him to overturn the election.”

“Pence was the presiding officer,” Alexander continued. “He could do nearly anything he could justify. The body could overrule him with a 2/3rds vote but that’s it. Pence betrayed us and is lying about the law and the rule.”

[twt]the second hearing featured prominent Republican voices, like former Attorney General Bill Barr, who said that Trump’s claims of voter fraud were false, as was Dinesh D’Souza’s:{“2000 Mules”:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: video, whose claims of voter fraud were so preposterous it elicited laughter from Barr during his testimony.

D’Souza fumed. “Bill Barr is the stereotypical small-town sheriff, overweight and largely immobile, whose rank incompetence results in the whole town being robbed from under his nose,” he wrote on:{Twitter:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}:, adding, “Fatso.” 

Trump confidant Roger Stone, meanwhile,:{slammed:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}:fellow Trump ally Jason Miller, calling him a “lying scumbag” for his testimony. Miller testified that Trump lawyer RudyGiuliani encouraged Trump to falsely declare victory on election night and that he was intoxicated while doing so. 

“What a backstabbing asshole,” Stone wrote in a June 13 Telegram:{post:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}:. Stone has been:{subpoenaed:(style="box-sizing:border-box;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: by the select committee.

Some, like Alexander, made it clear they stood by their actions on Jan. 6, 2021. 

As Trump loyalists stormed the Capitol behind him, Ali Alexander pointed to the unfolding scene and said, “I do not denounce this.” While he once tried to claim the video published on his campaign’s page (and captured by Right Wing Watch) was a “deep fake,” he reversed his stance this week and said he stood by his comments on the roof that day. 

“If I had stood on this rooftop and denounced our movement instead of doubling down on it, I would’ve saved myself a lifetime of grief and $100,000 in legal bills,” Alexander wrote in a June 20 post. “And I would’ve lost my soul. I have no regrets. … a government for and by the people.”

That didn’t stop him from claiming persecution. After the June 23 hearing, which revealed the lengths to which Trump and Republican members of Congress went to corrupt the DOJ, Alexander took to Telegram. “We’re being persecuted by the Security State (SS) and our ‘team’ doesn’t even have a response,” Alexander wrote.

When on Monday, reporters briefly speculated that Alexander might be the select committee’s “surprise witness” for Tuesday’s hearing, Alexander released a statement that he would not be testifying publicly but that he would like to do so. Alexander—who spread disinformation about the 2020 election and Jan. 6—then had the gall to declare that “Misinformation is polluting the January 6th narratives.”

CAPITOL RIOTS

Jan. 6 Committee Exposes Trump’s Chaotic Abuse of the DOJ to Try to Stay in Power

‘JUST SAY IT WAS CORRUPT’

The Jan. 6 Committee is laying out how Trump pressured the DOJ to say there was election corruption when there wasn't.

Jose Pagliery

Political Investigations Reporter

Updated Jun. 23, 2022

In the most damning evidence yet that former President Donald Trump knew he lost the 2020 election but was still willing to abuse his office to remain in power, a former top Department of Justice official testified Thursday that Trump told the DOJ to "just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and Republican congressmen.”

Thursday’s groundbreaking congressional testimony came from former acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, one of a handful of ex-DOJ officials who stood up to Trump in his final days in office and refused to have the department misused this way.

Donoghue’s handwritten notes of his interactions with the former president were presented at the Jan. 6 Committee’s fifth public hearing on Thursday, where legislators on the panel announced that several fellow members of Congress eventually sought presidential pardons for their role in Trump’s wide-ranging plan to stay in office.

The committee also revealed that pardons were sought by some of the most vocal Republicans who promulgated election conspiracy theories, played different roles to interrupt the transfer of power, and publicly called for Trump to remain in power—even if by force: Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), and Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA).

Many of those asking for a pardon were present at a meeting on Dec. 21, 2020 in which members of Congress discussed overturning the election. Others like Gaetz—who asked for a blanket pardon “from the beginning of time up until today, for any and all things,” according to videotaped testimony by Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann—and Brooks, who requested a pardon for anyone who voted to decertify the election, sought larger immunity.

Cassidy Hutchinson, once an aide to Trump’s White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, recalled hearing from fellow staff that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) also requested a pardon.

“The only reason I know to ask for a pardon is because you think you've committed a crime,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a member of the committee. “They knew that every bit of what they did was a lie and it was wrong.”

None of the legislators who allegedly sought pardons from Trump responded to questions from The Daily Beast emailed after the hearing.

The hearing kicked off just hours after news broke that federal agents had raided the Virginia home of the former DOJ official at the center of this plot: Jeffrey Clark, a Trump loyalist who has already come under scrutiny for abusing his high-ranking position there in the final weeks of the administration. This relatively unknown government lawyer devised a plan to use the DOJ to cast doubt on election results in states where Trump lost to now-President Joe Biden by making vague references to a federal investigation and intimidating state-level officials. His home was searched by federal law enforcement on Wednesday.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has awkwardly confirmed the raid in vague terms, noting there "was law enforcement activity in the Lorton, Virginia area yesterday” without commenting on “the nature of that activity or any particular individuals."

At Thursday’s hearing, former DOJ leaders also recounted what may be one of the most decisive moments of the Trump presidency: a Sunday afternoon meeting on Jan. 3, 2021 when Trump nearly fired acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen—only to hear that several regional U.S. attorneys from districts across the country had threatened to quit in solidarity if the president would weaponize the DOJ this way. When Trump suggested putting Clark in charge, Donoghue told him something that seemed to stick: "Mr. Clark will be left leading a graveyard."

[Jan. 6 Panel Delays Hearing Schedule Due to New Evidence

KEEP IT COMING]

The committee on Thursday also revealed text messages between Trump’s White House chief of staff and a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania who lobbied to have Clark ascend through the DOJ ranks as part of the plan to hijack the department.

In those texts, Perry expressed the urgency in getting Clark a high enough spot where he could make a difference.

“Mark, just checking in as time continues to count down. 11 days to 1/6 and 25 days to inauguration. We gotta get going!” the congressman wrote on Dec. 26, 2020. “Mark, you should call Jeff [Clark]. I just got off the phone with him and he explained to me why the principal deputy won’t work especially with the FBI. They will view it as not having the authority to enforce what needs to be done.”

“I got it. I think I understand. Let me work on the deputy position,” Meadows responded that evening. The congressman and White House official then began to communicate via Signal, an encrypted chatting app with disappearing messages.

The committee on Thursday also presented new evidence touching on the unhinged legal strategy put together by law professor John Eastman to keep Trump in command by interrupting the official certification of 2020 electoral college ballots on Jan. 6, 2021 at the Capitol building—the very event insurrectionists were trying to derail.

That plan, which involved having key states replace Biden electors by submitting alternate slates of fake electors loyal to Trump, apparently also involved an attorney freshly appointed to the DOJ and assigned to specifically work under Clark as a senior counsel: Kenneth A. Klukowski.

That attorney’s role in the plot, which partly relied on a sustained campaign to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence into misusing his duty as the person counting the ballots aloud, was detailed in an email written by J. Kenneth Blackwell—an activist who has worked at the conservative group Groundswell alongside Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife, Ginni.

In it, Blackwell wrote, “As stated last week, I believe the VP and his staff would benefit greatly from a briefing by John [Eastman] and Ken [Klukowski]. As I also mentioned, make sure we don’t overexpose Ken given his new position.”

At the outset of the hearing, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said Trump “wanted the Justice Department to legitimize his lies, to basically call the election corrupt… it was a brazen attempt to use the Justice Department to advance the president’s personal agenda.”

The committee’s three witnesses Thursday were all part of DOJ leadership during the tumultuous end of the Trump administration who had abrasive interactions with the White House when they took a firm stand and refused to do the president’s bidding: then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen, former acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, and Steven Engel, who led the DOJ’s in-house policymaking office.

“They were willing to sacrifice their careers for the good of our country,” Kinzinger said.

All are expected to explain in further detail how Clark tried to use the chaos of Trump’s refusal to concede to Biden to make himself attorney general—and turn what should remain a non-political law enforcement agency into Trump’s personal tool.

Much of what the nation previously knew about the ordeal came from a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation last year that culminated in a 394-page report titled, “Subverting Justice: How the Former President and His Allies Pressured DOJ to Overturn the 2020 Election.”

PRIMETIME HISTORY

Internal emails acquired by congressional investigators showed that Clark, then the head of the DOJ’s civil division, sought his boss’ approval for a draft letter he wrote to Georgia state officials claiming the Justice Department was “investigating various irregularities” and asking the governor and legislature there to “convene in special session” and hear testimony about made up election fraud claims.

Co-chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) noted that Clark’s draft letter sounded all too similar to the legal theories of law professor John Eastman and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani because it was a key part of their ploy to keep Trump in power.

Clark already testified under oath before the committee back in February, although he repeatedly refused to answer questions, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. 105/125x]

On Thursday, the committee played a portion of a videotaped deposition of former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann, one of several attorneys who was present at a decisive meeting at the Oval Office on Jan. 3, 2021. Herschmann expressed bewilderment at Clark’s proposed plan to use the DOJ this way—and his ploy to make himself the nation’s AG.

“I thought Jeff's proposal was nuts,” Herschmann testified, recalling that he said, “The best I can tell, the only thing you know about environmental and elections challenges is that the both start with 'E.’”

Donoghue, then the acting AG, previously told the committee in a recorded interview that Trump White House lawyer Pat Cipollone called Clark’s letter “a murder-suicide pact” that would “damage anybody who touches it.”

Several lawyers there remembered how Clark tried to argue that his short stint overseeing environmental cases at the DOJ somehow qualified him to be top lawyer in the country. Donoghue told the committee that he shot back: “That's right. You're an environmental lawyer. How about you go back to your office, and we'll call you when there's an oil spill."

Jan. 6 hearings: PA Speaker Cutler received daily voicemails from Trump’s lawyers

by: Lauren Rude

Posted: Jun 21, 2022 /

(WHTM) — The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol heard from elections workers and local officials who warded off former President Donald Trump’s pressure to overturn the 2020 presidential election on Tuesday.

It was revealed through Josh Roselman, investigative council, during this hearing that Bryan Cutler, the Republican Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, received daily voicemails from Trump’s lawyers in the last week of November 2020 in relation to how Pennsylvania’s votes turned out in the general election.

“Mr. Speaker, this is Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis. We’re calling you together because we’d like to discuss, obviously the election,” Giuliani said in a Nov. 26, 2020 voicemail.

“Hello Mr. Speaker, this is Jenna Ellis, and I’m here with Mayor Giuliani,” Ellis said in a Nov. 27, 2020 voicemail.

“Hey Bryan, it’s Rudy, I really have something important to call to your attention, that I think really changes things,” Giuliani said in a Nov. 28, 2020 voicemail.

According to Roselman, Rep. Cutler found the outreach by both lawyers to be inappropriate and asked his lawyers to request that Giuliani stop calling him. However, Giuliani continued to call.

Then, in December, Steve Bannon, a former Trump strategist, announced a protest to take place outside of Cutler’s home and district office to “let him know what we think about him.”

Rep. Cutler released a statement on Tuesday afternoon regarding the Jan. 6 committee interview.

“As I’ve confirmed previously, I was in contact with representatives of the U.S. House Select Committee investigating the events leading up to Jan. 6. I was interviewed on two separate occasions in recent months. I was not contacted ahead of today’s proceedings or made aware of what portions of my interview would be included in the public proceedings. As the committee’s investigation is still ongoing, it would be inappropriate for me to provide any additional comments about my testimony at this time.”

The public hearing, the fourth by the panel this month, stemmed from its yearlong investigation into Trump’s unprecedented attempt to remain in power, a sprawling scheme that the chairman of the Jan. 6 committee has likened to an “attempted coup.”

Tuesday’s focus reviewed how Trump was repeatedly told his pressure campaign could potentially cause violence against the local officials and their families but pursued it anyway, according to a committee aide. And it underscored that fallout from Trump’s lies continues, with election officers facing ongoing public harassment and political challengers trying to take over their jobs.

The select committee also aimed to untangle the elaborate “fake electors” scheme that sought to have representatives in as many as seven battlegrounds — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico — sign certificates falsely stating that Trump, not Biden, had won their states.

zoe takes lead;

no lnx

the Jan. 6 committee spent most of its second hearing Monday picking apart Trump’s relentless lies about the 2020 election outcome — lies he pursued despite findings from both his campaign staff and government investigators that the election results were legitimate.

But Monday’s hearing ended with an interesting change of topic: The panel zeroed in on Trump’s fundraising. Specifically, the committee found, Trump lied to his base in order to raise millions of dollars, and then used that money to pursue his own political and personal ends.

According to the committee’s senior investigative counsel Amanda Wick, it went like this: After Trump lost the 2020 election — and even after the “safe harbor date” that usually spells the end of election lawsuits —Trump and his campaign pursued a fundraising strategy based around a so-called “Election Integrity Fund”: A fund that they told donors would help “PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR ELECTION” in dozens of emails over several weeks.

But the Election Integrity Fund didn’t exist: Gary Coby, the campaign’s former digital director, agreed during a deposition that it was a “marketing tactic.” And the tactic worked: The committee found that Trump and his allies raised nearly $100 million in the first week after the election.

On Nov. 9, Trump created the “Save America PAC.” Wick said most of the money for the “Election Defense Fund” went to that account. And that PAC, in turn, made millions in donations to Trump-aligned groups: $1 million to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’ charitable foundation, $1 million to the America First Policy Institute, which employed several former Trump administration officials, $204,857 to the Trump Hotel Collection, and over $5 million to Event Strategies Inc., the company that ran Trump’s White House Ellipse rally — the event that preceded the Capitol attack.

The campaign sent fundraising emails regularly, including one about 30 minutes before the Capitol was breached, Wick said.

The committee, at times, seems to have an audience of one: Attorney General Merrick Garland, who would have final say over any high-level criminal charging decisions related to the Capitol attack. And the panel’s focus on these funds may be an instance of its members shaping their arguments for the attorney general.

“Throughout the committee’s investigation, we found evidence that the Trump campaign and its surrogates misled donors as to where their funds would go and what they would be used for,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said at the end of the hearing. “So not only was there the Big Lie. There was the Big Ripoff.”

(Garland, for what it’s worth, said Monday that he was watching all of the committee’s hearings, adding, “I can assure you the Jan 6th prosecutors are watching all the hearings as well.”)

Asked after the hearing if there was evidence of Trump committing financial crimes, Lofgren (D-CA) said, “We’re a legislative committee. And it’s clear that he intentionally misled his donors, asked them to donate to a fund that didn’t exist and used the money raised for something other than what is said.”

“Now it’s for someone else to decide whether that’s illegal or not. That’s not the purview of a legislative committee,” Lofgren added.

CNN’s plugged-in congressional reporter, Manu Raju, reported that committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) “said similar.”

An incriminating new email obtained by both CNN and The Washington Post is shedding light on an election plot in Georgia that was reportedly orchestrated by former President Donald Trump's campaign.

According to CNN, the Trump campaign is said to have advised fake electors to infiltrate the Georgia State Capitol and cast fake electoral votes for the former president. The email correspondence, which was dated December 13, 2020, included detailed instruction for electors to get themselves in position to cast Georgia's electoral college votes although President Joe Biden had already been announced as the election winner of the state.

In the email, Robert Sinners —a Georgia-based elections operations director for the Trump campaign— advised that the group of fake electors to use "complete secrecy and discretion." The email also included instructions for the fake electors to sign certificates confirming they had the authority to cast the votes on behalf of the state.

"I must ask for your complete discretion in this process," wrote Sinners. "Your duties are imperative to ensure the end result — a win in Georgia for President Trump — but will be hampered unless we have complete secrecy and discretion."

Per The Washington Post, the fake electors were also instructed to tell Capitol security that they actually had appointments with a state senator in order to be allowed entry into the building. Sinners also emphasized the importance of the group not drawing attention to themselves or having any contact with the media.

"Please, at no point should you mention anything to do with Presidential Electors or speak to the media," Sinners wrote in bold text, per The Post.

In wake of the email being made public, Sinners released a statement to The Washington Post. According to the Trump campaign staffer, he simply followed the orders of Georgia Republican Party chairman David Shafer and other senior campaign staffers.

"Following the Former President's refusal to accept the results of the election and allow a peaceful transition of power, my views on this matter have changed significantly from where they were on December 13th," said Sinners, who now works for Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R).

Shafer's lawyer also confirmed his client's cooperation with the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

"None of these communications, nor his testimony, suggest that Mr. Shafer requested or wished for confidentiality surrounding the provisional electors," Shafer's lawyer said, according to the news outlet.

Despite the efforts to overturn the election results in Georgia, all 16 of the state's electoral votes went to Biden.

rant ~ jan 6 comm subpoena

an 4 22

Former Trump White House trade advisor Peter Navarro was initially scheduled to appear on MSNBC’s The Beaton Tuesday, March 29. However, that appearance was abruptly canceled following the House Select Committee's vote on Monday in favor of holding Navarro in contempt of Congress for his failure to cooperate with the Jan. 6 investigation.

Sharing the news with viewers, MSNBC host Ari Melber said, “Late today, [Navarro] then indicated he could not do an interview tonight."

While the exact reason for Navarro's cancellation remains unclear, there is speculation that it may be due to the House's reference to a previous Navarro appearance on Melber's show. Back in February, Navarro became embroiled in a heated debate with Melber and made remarks that ultimately conflicted with his assertion of executive privilege.

Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) highlighted the discrepency.

“[Navarro] has so much knowledge to share with a journalist, but he refuses to share that knowledge in response to a lawful subpoena,” Murphy said. “Evidently, Mr. Navarro is only concerned with executive privilege with keeping certain matters confidential when it’s convenient to him.”

In addition to speaking out about his involvement during the last MSNBC appearance, Navarro also shared a pertinent piece of information with The Daily Beast. Back in December of last year, Navarro detailed the “Green Bay Sweep” strategy he and former Trump White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon had laid out in hopes of keeping Trump in office.

“We spent a lot of time lining up over 100 congressmen, including some senators. It started out perfectly. At 1 p.m., Gosar and Cruz did exactly what was expected of them,” Navarro told The Beast. “It was a perfect plan. And it all predicated on peace and calm on Capitol Hill. We didn’t even need any protestors, because we had over 100 congressmen committed to it.

The committee is now recommending charges for both Navarro andDan Scavino, who served as former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for the Trump administration.

More than 14 months after the January 6, 2021 insurrection, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s select committee continues to investigate that day’s disturbing events — and federal prosecutors for the U.S. Department of Justice are moving ahead with their January 6-related indictments. Washington Post reporters Jacqueline Alemany and Josh Dawsey, in an article published on March 17, stress that a great deal of work has gone into the select committee’s investigation. But they also point out that the committee’s major “challenge,” in the months ahead, will be making sure that its work receives enough attention.

“Committee members and staffers are seeking to compile dramatic videos, texts and e-mails in a digital format that is easy to understand — and easy to share on social media,” Alemany and Dawsey explain. “And they want to put together blockbuster televised hearings that the public actually tunes into, according to people with knowledge of the process who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly. Their challenge: making the public care deeply — and read hundreds of pages more — about an event that happened more than a year ago, and that many Americans feel they already understand.”

Committee members, according to Alemany and Dawsey, are planning “a final report that will be published ahead of the November midterms— with the findings likely a key part of the Democrats’ midterm strategy.”

“Looming over lawmakers are a handful of high-profile government reports — some more recent than others — that provide a laundry list of lessons learned as the committee deliberates the best way to present its findings: the Senate Watergate Report, the 9/11 Commission Report, and Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election,” the Post reporters note. “Much to the frustration of Democratic lawmakers at the time, Mueller’s lawyerly and heavily redacted 400-page report conspicuously excluded an explicit recommendation that former President Donald Trump be prosecuted for obstruction of justice for allegedly interfering with the inquiry.”

What remains “unclear,” according to Alemany and Dawsey, is “whether the committee will succeed in bringing on a high-profile journalist or if the committee has finalized a choice to author the report.”

Rep. Stephanie Murphy of Florida, a Democratic member of the committee, told the Post, “We do not want a bureaucrat to write this report, but rather, a historian or a journalist — or someone who writes and can tell a story in a compelling way so that people can actually understand what happened.”

Journalist, author and historian Garrett Graff notes that the select committee has a very different mission from the U.S. Department of Justice where January 6, 2021 is concerned.

Graff told the Post, “The role Congress has asked the January 6 committee to play is one that’s much more focused on the moral responsibility, the corruption of power, and abuse of regular order that the Trump Administration engaged in during those final weeks leading up to the insurrection. The Justice Department might decide that Trump is not criminally liable for his actions but that the committee is able to provide at least a high standard of proof that Trump was morally liable — and as a political question, that latter standard is, in some ways, more important to the future of the country than the criminal ones.”

John Eastman, who previously worked as a lawyer for former President Donald Trump, is facing pressure from the House Select Committee overseeing the investigation of the insurrection on the U.S. Capitol to surrender records that contain specific keywords in compliance with his subpoena.

According to The Guardian, GUK the keyword terms are said to shed light on Eastman's role in the alleged conspiracy lawmakers are investigating to uncover. "The keyword search list – which the select committee transmitted to Eastman – provides a glimpse of what House investigators suspect might be contained among the thousands of emails and documents that Eastman is being forced to review to comply with his subpoena."

An inside source with knowledge of the investigation has revealed "The list is intended to act as a dragnet to catch his records from 4 to 7 January about efforts to overturn the 2020 election results between Eastman and individuals in different 'centres of gravity.'”

In addition to the committee's investigation into Eastman's search terms, the lawmakers are also investigating several Republican congressional members. Those lawmakers include Sens. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.); and Reps. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), Doug Mastriano (R-Penn.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), and Scott Perry (R-Calif.).

Another focus for the committee will be on Eastman's communications with members of the federal government. That list includes emails under the following domains: “'usdoj.gov' and 'justice.gov' for the justice department, 'senate.gov' for the Senate, and 'house.gov' for the House."

The latest development follows House Select Committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson's (D-Miss.) move to issue automatic subpoenas for specific documents and testimonies. As the investigation moves forward, the committee has expanded its scope. Following that move, Thompson said, “We keep adding to the list of people we need to talk to. That’s grown the body of work."

trump PAC transferred $1 million to a Mark Meadows nonprofit as House coup probe got underway

Daily Kos Staff February 02, 2022

nBC News is reporting that, only weeks after the formation of the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, Donald Trump's "Save America" PAC donated a whopping $1 million to a conservative training "institute" headed in part by former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows—a man who was intimately involved with multiple parts of Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. What makes the donation especially conspicuous is that it's orders of magnitude above the Trump PAC's usual gifts.

The Trump PAC distributed a total of $1.35 million in the last half of 2021, reports NBC News. And that single $1 million donation to Meadows' group accounted for the lion's share of it.

It should be immediately clarified that this is not Donald Trump's own money. Trump's fascist-premised "Save America" fundraisers have been sucking the money out of Trump supporters' pockets just as every other Trump grift has, providing a means for Trump to give financial rewards to party allies without having to write any of the checks himself.

And Donald Trump is not known for writing checks himself. It is said that the reason Trump's fingers are so short is that whenever anyone comes to him asking him to write a check, the man bites his own fingers off so that nobody can make him pick up the pen. After the unpleasant visitor goes away, a team of surgeons reattaches each finger—always with a bit of loss, shrinking each digit by a few millimeters or so—and the cycle repeats. Or something. It is only a rumor I heard.

Trump's sudden shove of $1 million to Meadows is notable for its large size, even as the rest of his PAC spends its days trickling out money only a few thousand dollars at a time, but also because it has been clear from the beginning thatMark Meadows knows more about the Trump White House's attempts at self-coup than perhaps any other person, Trump included.Meadows participated in the call to Georgia election officialsin which Trump asked them to "find" enough Trump votes to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the state. Meadows was involved in discussions about taking pseudo-military action to erase or "redo" the election. Meadows was involved in Trump's efforts to gather a crowd of his most rabid public supporters and set them loose to "march" to the U.S. Capitol at the precise day and hour that a joint session of Congress would oversee the final constitutional acknowledgement of his loss.

Mark Meadows is, in other words, up to his ex-House-Republican eyebrows in a multipronged plan to overthrow the United States government, and Trump throwing a million bucks his way just after it became clear that House Republicans had not been able to halt the investigation of Jan. 6 and that Congress would be making an effort to haul Meadows' aiding and abetting ass into a hearing room, a donation absurdly out of scope of what the Trump PAC was doing before and since, can certainly be taken as a distribution of hush money.

And that might be an untoward accusation to make if Donald Trump had not already been caught red-handed handing out similar "hush money" in the past. And it's difficult to find examples of Trump spending money anywhere, at any time, that hasn't been directly linked to what the recipient has personally done for or said about Trump. We can be sure that Trump's PAC did not throw $1 million at Mark Meadows because Donald Trump—sincerely and urgently—believes in the "Conservative Partnership Institute" goal of training new conservative staffers for future generations. Donald Trump doesn't give a flying damn about anything that does not provide immediate and tangible benefit to Donald Trump.

So sure, maybe it's hush money. Maybe it's witness tampering with a big ol' check attached. One way to determine what the money is for is to watch how Meadows' group spends it. If it turns out the "institute" is suddenly spending $1 million or so on unexplained legal fees, as Meadows' own battles with the Jan. 6 committee heat up, well then golly gee won't that be something.

But it ain't gonna be spent on anything that Donald Trump did not personally want it spent on.

house investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection just took an unexpected turn: report

Meaghan Ellis

December 21, 2021

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) has become a key focal point for the House Select Committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, according to The Washington Post'...

an 11 21

Infamous "dirty trickster" political operative and decades-long Trump ally Roger Stone, along with far right wing extremist Alex Jones are two of the latest five people subpoenaed by the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.

CNN describes the five being subpoenaed as "former President Donald Trump's allies directly involved in planning 'Stop the Steal' rallies."

Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich, along with Dustin Stockton and Jennifer Lawrence, "key players in the Stop the Steal' movement after the election," were also subpoenaed.

Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) in a statement said: "The Select Committee is seeking information about the rallies and subsequent march to the Capitol that escalated into a violent mob attacking the Capitol and threatening our democracy. We need to know who organized, planned, paid for, and received funds related to those events, as well as what communications organizers had with officials in the White House and Congress. We believe the witnesses we subpoenaed today have relevant information and we expect them to cooperate fully with our effort to get answers for the American people about the violence of January 6th."
