Fiona Hill: "The president was trying to stage a coup"

Indeed. Trump raised a quarter of a billion dollars from his supporters (you) by frantically sending them scores of emails in which he promised that legal efforts were underway to overturn the election with the money his supporters donated for that purpose. Those emails were all lies, and in fact Trump has spent virtually none of that "Stop the Steal" donation money on overturning the election. He still has it in the bank, unspent. Intelligent people would have to ask themselves why Trump has defrauded his supporters, but Trump cultists would gladly look the other way.
After the Jan. 6 committee’s decision to recommend Trump’s prosecution to the Justice Department for his role in the insurrection, many Senate Republicans who once supported the former president are now in agreement with the committee’s choice, The Hill reports.
Senator Shelly Moore Capito said she’s “never seen” a process like this – one where Congress makes prosecution referrals. However, she does understand that Trump “bears some responsibility” for the attack.
“There’s no question that President Trump deserves culpability for inciting the riot on Jan. 6 and for failure to act to protect the vice president and the Capitol of the United States,” said Mitt Romney, who’s been criticized by far-right Republicans for voting to impeach Trump twice.
In addition to the prosecution referrals, Trump has already been on thin ice with some Republicans, as they believe his influence caused a considerable amount of GOP midterm losses across the country. The hearing outcome could be the icing on the cake for his dedicated advocates to finally rescind their support.
According to The Hill, following the hearing, Senator Mitch McConnell said, “The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day.”
Ohio Senator Rob Portman believes the referrals are not as important as the final report. “But the testimony is the testimony,” he said. “And they were able to get the testimony from most of the people they wanted — not everybody but most — and I think most of the significant figures. That is the historical record. That’s very important.”
Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski said, “Obviously they spent considerable time and [went into] great detail over many months they have investigated this. It’s really up to [the Department of Justice] where they go next.”
“They did interview a lot of folks that had a lot of knowledge of what happened and they were people who I think were very credible,” said South Dakota Republican Senator John Thune.
“It’s up to Justice now.”

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection has begun extensively cooperating with the Justice Department’s special counsel charged with overseeing investigations into former President Donald Trump.
Jack Smith, who Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed as special counsel last month, sent the select committee a letter Dec. 5 requesting all of the panel’s materials from the 18-month probe. Punchbowl News has reviewed Smith’s letter.
Starting last week, the select committee began sending Smith’s team documents and transcripts. Much of the production from the Jan. 6 committee is in relation to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and John Eastman, the Trump lawyer at the center of the “fake elector” scheme.
The select committee has also sent the Justice Department all of Meadows’ text messages and related evidence.
In addition, the House panel shared transcripts of interviews with several witnesses related to the “fake elector” scheme and the efforts by Trump and his allies to pressure states to overturn their election results, specifically in Georgia.
The Jan. 6 committee plans to share additional transcripts and other documents with the special counsel’s office in the coming days, according to the source. Smith was appointed on Nov. 18.
This cooperation represents a new phase in the select committee’s interaction with DOJ.

In Testimony, Hannity and Other Fox Employees Said They Doubted Trump’s Fraud Claims
On Nov. 30, 2020, Sean Hannity hosted Sidney Powell on his prime-time Fox News program. As she had in many other interviews around that time — on Fox and elsewhere in right-wing media — Ms. Powell, a former federal prosecutor, spun wild conspiracy theories about what she said was “corruption all across the country, in countless districts,” in a plot to steal re-election from the president, Donald J. Trump.
At the center of this imagined plot were machines from Dominion Voting Systems, which Ms. Powell claimed ran an algorithm that switched votes for Mr. Trump to votes for Joseph R. Biden Jr. Dominion machines, she insisted, were being used “to trash large batches of votes.”
Mr. Hannity interrupted her with a gentle question that had been circulating among election deniers, despite a lack of supporting proof: Why were Democrats silencing whistle-blowers who could prove this fraud?
Did Mr. Hannity believe any of this?
“I did not believe it for one second.”
That was the answer Mr. Hannity gave, under oath, in a deposition in Dominion’s $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, according to information disclosed in a court hearing on Wednesday. The hearing was called to address several issues that need to be resolved before the case heads for a jury trial, which the judge has scheduled to begin in April.
Mr. Hannity’s disclosure — along with others that emerged from court on Wednesday about what Fox News executives and hosts really believed as their network became one of the loudest megaphones for lies about the 2020 election — is among the strongest evidence yet to emerge publicly that some Fox employees knew that what they were broadcasting was false.
I hope Dominion runs Fox through the wringer.
Sadly, too many Americans avoid confrontations with the world over their support of democrat voter fraud.
If by "political prisoners" you mean the criminals who invaded the Capitol, assaulted police, threatened to murder Mike Pence, etc., then yes, remember them.
In light of the fact that the democrats stole the election by fraud and then orchestrated the violence on Jan 6 to shut down the congressional voter fraud hearings, it is clear that those people arrested for protesting the fraud are political prisoners.
The Satanic RINOs from Mike Pence and Bill Barr at the top on down to state and local RINOs like Brad Raffensperger in Georgia and Doug Ducey of Arizona stole the election by fraud and gave it to the Democrats. How can you take the country back when you can't take your own party back from these and many other RINOs? Enquiring minds and MAGAs want to know, but you have no solutions whatsoever for this or any other dilemma.
Oh yes we do. "Trust the plan"
What plan?
Q's plan.
Details? Tell us all about it.
Read the Q drops.
Fascinating.
Have you read the Q drops yourself? What do they say? How can people "trust the plan" if they don't know what the plan even is?
All of them.
That there has been a (mostly) non-kenetic war (so far) going on since Trump took office between the globalists and the nationalists.
New England Patriot fans don't know nor understand many of the strange decisions their team makes, yet they repeat the mantra, "In Belichick we trust."
How can you take the country back when you can't even take the Republican Party back from the RINOs?
