Jan. 6 Committee Investigation of Trump-

The public part of the Jan. 6 committee
is about to begin.

At the beginning of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, Capitol Police and members of the DC Metro Police testified about their experiences in moving stories about fears that they were going to die during the Trump-incited riots.

Since then, however, the committee has operated largely
in out of public view.
But that's about to change.

The Washington Post revealed that the next steps
of the committee are public ones.
Thus far, the members have interviewed over 300 people
and sent several subpoenas to former White House officials and telecommunications companies.

The evidence is stacking up as many, even allies
of former President Donald Trump, are turning
over information, despite his demand not to cooperate.
Those documents, thus far, estimate
over 35,000 pages.

The committee "is examining whether to recommend that the Justice Department pursue charges against anyone, including former President Donald Trump, and whether legislative proposals are needed to help prevent valid election results from being overturned in the future," the report said.

The committee's battle with former Trump officials like Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows is leading members to move
faster out of fear that gerrymandering could swing the balance of
power to the GOP in 2022.

"The public business meeting earlier this month, where panel members revealed a sliver
of the 9,000 documents and records provided by Meadows, was a taste of what it hopes to accomplish in hearings throughout 2022:
a dramatic presentation of the behind-the-scenes maneuvering by Trump,his allies and anyone involved in the attack or the attempt to overturn the election results," said the Post.
A committee aide explained that they want to tell a story from "start to finish."

They're anticipating that the public hearings would begin in the new year and go into the spring,
with a final report coming in the summer.

“I think we may issue a couple reports and I would hope for a [full] interim report in the summer, with the eye towards maybe another —
I don’t know if it’d be final or another interim report later in the fall,” the Post reported, quoting a second senior committee aide.

The items they're focusing on include things like
the money and funding for the "Stop the Steal" events, the propaganda and misinformation campaign that led to the fury, government agencies that failed to properly anticipate the violence and act when necessary, the campaigns to overturn
the 2020 election and organizers of the events and their plans.

Throwing this in here;;;

Last week, Trump asked the Supreme Court to stop the select committee from reviewing pertinent presidential records related to the attack, including call logs, memos, and other correspondence.
It is up to the Supreme Court to decide whether it will entertain Trump’s complaint.

A lower court and the federal appeals court have already aligned with President Joe Biden’s position that found the interests of the United States outweighed Trump’s desire to keep his records related
to the Capitol attack confidential.

In response to Trump’s appeal at the high court, the committee asked Supreme Court justices to hasten a response but simultaneously suggested that both sides could file motions for or against the matter by Dec. 30. The committee then requested that the high court hear the case no later than Jan. 14. Pressure is swiftly mounting for the probe to wrap up before midterms. A lost Democratic majority could lead to a squandered investigation.

What information the select body gets from Trump is crucial. Last week, Rep. Liz Cheney, vicechair of the Jan. 6th Committee, highlighted that one of the main objectives for investigators is to discover whether Trump, through “action or inaction,” corruptly sought to “obstruct or impede Congress’ official proceedings to count electoral votes.”

The second most critical aim of the probe is to develop legislation that could
prevent such corrupt conduct from occurring ever again.

Trump reportedly made several phone calls from the White House to allies at the Willard on Jan. 5 and 6. The recipients of those alleged calls were John Eastman, Steve Bannon, Boris Epshteyn, and Rudy Giuliani. Trump allegedly complained to the men that his second-in-command, then Vice President Mike Pence, would not agree to dispute the electoral vote totals, a strategy pushed by Eastman in a six-point memo on Jan. 4.

According to the U.S. Constitution, Pence did not have the power to overturn election results. Trump’s lawyers have denied allegations about Trump’s calls to the Willard. They have maintained that if any discussion was had, it was related merely to their frustrations over perceived voter fraud.
Then acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, as well as Rosen’s predecessor William Barr, found no evidence of voter fraud.
However, that did not deter Trump-appointed Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark from allegedly trying to oust Rosen so the election fraud sham could continue. According to a transcript of Rosen’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in August, Rosen said Clark told him explicitly that Trump would boot him from the department if he wouldn’t go along with a plot to send letters to election officials highlighting voter fraud concerns. Justice Department officials allegedly revolted when catching wind of the threat and the letter to election officials was never sent. Rosen was not ousted.

Clark’s deposition has been delayed multiple times due to medical issues so contempt proceedings against him have also been held back.

According to reporting by The Guardian in November, on one of the calls on Jan. 5 or 6, Trump slammed Pence to Bannon, Giuliani, and Eastman. Trump allegedly called Pence “arrogant” when the veep wouldn’t go along with the election subversion scheme.

Trump’s underlings were scrambling, at least according to a voicemail first obtained by The Dispatch earlier this year. Giuliani left a voicemail around 7 p.m. on Jan. 6 for someone he believed was an ally: Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. In the message, Giuliani is heard asking for Tuberville’s help to delay the certification that night.

The rioting and bloodshed had only just settled and a curfew in Washington had only gone into effect roughly an hour before. But Giuliani kept pushing a time-consuming strategy that would have Republican lawmakers object to a wide number of states—at least 10—instead of just a few.

Giuliani said in the message that then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was on board with narrowing the number of objections but he needed Tuberville to get him to object to more to buy time.

“It would give us an opportunity to get the legislators who are very, very close to pulling their vote, particularly after what McConnell did today,” Giuliani said.

Giuliani’s voicemail only came to light because he made the mistake of leaving it for another senator who was just newly sworn in. That unnamed lawmaker sent the message along to reporters at The Dispatch.

Trump has denied reporting on the call and has refused to cooperate with investigators. True to form, however, he has broadcast his plans to hold a press conference on the anniversary of the attack. Trump maintains that the riot was unarmed and the election rigged. In reality, police officers died trying to fend off his supporters on Jan. 6 and he has lost lawsuit after lawsuit where his claims of election fraud are propped up.

Jan. 6 committee Investigation-

The House Select Committee Investigating the
Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday released a transcript of Donald Trump advisor
Jason Miller's testimony before eleven investigators.

Miller was asked if Trump was told that he had lost the election.

"I don't remember who all was present in person.
I was in the Oval Office. And at some point in the conversation Matt Oczkowski, who was the lead data person, was brought on, and I remember he delivered to the President in pretty blunt terms that he was going to lose," Miller said.

"And that was based, Mr. Miller, on Matt and the data team's assessment of this sort of county-by-county, State-by-State results as reported?" the investigator asked.

"Correct," Miller replied.

Miller said he thought he remembered Jared 20 Kushner, Bill Stepien, and Justin Clark being in
the meeting.

HuffPost White House correspondent S.V. Dáte offered his analysis of the testimony.

"Here is [Jason Miller] providing testimony to the
Jan. 6 committee that Trump was told *by his own campaign* that he lost, and had been given a detailed breakdown.
So when Trump continued pushing his lies that he had won,
he was knowingly trying to obstruct the certification," he wrote.

January 6 Committee says it believes Trump may have violated 'multiple' laws in attempt to overturn election.

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th riots on the United States Capitol now believes that former President Donald Trump violated "multiple laws" in his quest to overturn the results
of the 2020 presidential election.

In a court filing unveiled on Wednesday, the committee argued that notorious "coup memo" attorney John Eastman does not have the right to attorney-client privilege to avoid testifying before
the committee on the grounds that he and others committed what the committee believes was illegal activity.

In the filing, the committee writes that it has
"a good-faith belief that Mr. Trump and others may have engaged in criminal and/or fraudulent acts"
in their attempts to overturn the election.

Among other things, the committee argues that it has enough evidence to justify "a good-faith basis for concluding that President Trump has violated section 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2)," which is obstructing an official act of Congress. What's more, writes the committee, it believes it can prove that Trump did
so with corrupt intent.

The committee also writes that it has "a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371."

The House Select Committee has been trying to secure Eastman's testimony about his efforts to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify the results of the 2020 election.

Trump White House lawyer desperately tried to
stop him from enacting a 'murder-suicide pact' with America.

Newly revealed details about President Donald Trump's last days in office show that White House counsel Pat Cipollone tried desperately to stop him from pursuing bogus claims of a stolen election -- including one measure he considered a "murder-suicide pact."

The New York Times, while reporting on recently disclosed testimony before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol
riots, reveals that the former White House counsel was particularly alarmed by a plan concocted by former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark
that involved sending
"official letters to multiple
state legislatures falsely alerting them that the election may have been stolen and urging them
to reconsider certified election results."

“That letter that this guy wants to send —
that letter is a murder-suicide pact,” Cipollone told Trump. “It’s going to damage everyone who
touches it. And we should have nothing to do with that letter. I don’t ever want to see that letter again.”

Richard Donoghue, a former top Justice Department official, told the committee that he also repeatedly tried getting Trump to stop his plans to overturn
the election, but he kept pushing more extreme measures.

“The president said something to the effect of:
‘What do I have to lose? If I do this, what do I have to lose?’” he told the committee.
“And I said: ‘Mr. President, you have a great deal
to lose. Is this really how you want your administration to end? You’re going hurt the country.’”

Pelosi Refuses to Hand Over Emails and Videos from Jan 6 Claiming "Sovereign Immunity"
By Joe Hoft
Published March 14, 2022 at 8:30am

Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not hand over video coverage and emails from Jan 6 per a FOIA request. Pelosi based her decision on “sovereign immunity.” Pelosi and Democrats know if they release the 14,000 hours of footage from security cameras on January 6 it will blow apart their narrative. So she is hiding it.

Meanwhile, dozens of Trump supporters are rotting in a jail one mile from the US Capitol waiting for a fair trial which they won’t get because their evidence will be hidden from the American public.

We are dealing with evil here.

Michael LaChance writing at American Lookout reports:

There are hours upon hours of video footage of what happened on January 6th. Some of it could be used in the defense of Trump supporters who are currently sitting in jail.

Yet Nancy Pelosi won’t release it, even after she was taken to court.

There are apparently emails too, and she won’t release those either.

What is going on here? How is this legal?

Judicial Watch explains its request:

Congress exempts itself from the Freedom of Information Act. Judicial Watch, therefore, brought its lawsuit under the common law right of access to public records. In opposing the broad assertion of secrecy, Judicial Watch details Supreme Court and other precedent that upholds the public’s right to know what “their government is up to”…

…“The Pelosi Congress (and its police department) is telling a federal court it is immune from all transparency under law and is trying to hide every second of its January 6 videos and countless emails,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The hypocrisy is rich, as this is the same Congress that is trying to jail witnesses who, citing privileges, object to providing documents to the Pelosi rump January 6 committee.”

In November 2021, Judicial Watch revealed multiple audio, visual and photo records from the DC Metropolitan Police Department about the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021, in the U.S. Capitol Building. The records include a cell phone video of the shooting and an audio of a brief police interview of the shooter, Lt. Michael Byrd. In October, Judicial Watch released records, showing that multiple officers claimed they didn’t see a weapon in Babbitt’s hand before Byrd shot her, and that Byrd was visibly distraught afterward. One officer attested that he didn’t hear any verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt.

Judicial Watch is filing another lawsuit in response to Pelosi’s attempt to keep her lies about setting up innocent Trump supporters secret.

Hundreds of Americans have been wrongly set up, indicted, and charged with crimes they didn’t commit on Jan 6 at the US Capitol. A list of those Americans and their stories is maintained at American Gulog by this site.

One man committed suicide because of the actions and charges against him. Four more Trump supporters were killed on that day.

Pelosi doesn’t care. She has no concern for the Americans rotting in prisons without trial. She has no concern about the future of this nation.

(( Reminder; trump blame's Nancy for not doing anything to stop insurrection-
__ Trump was president at that time-_
Nancy did not have the information or the power-
It was the president's job to handle it.))
.............................

Secret Service warned the White House of Capitol violence two days before the attack —
Trump ignored it: court filing.

White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson revealed a lot of details about Meadows that are being released now.

According to a deposition Hutchinson gave in March, that was just released publicly late Friday night, she revealed that the U.S. Secret Service gave warnings about violence at the Capitol to the White House.

"I just remember Mr. Ornato coming in and saying that we had intel reports saying that there could potentially be violence on the 6th. And Mr. Meadows said: 'All right. Let's talk about it,'"
said Hutchinson speaking of U.S. Secret Service special agent in charge Anthony Ornato.

The House Select Committee cited her deposition in their Friday court filing responding to the Meadows lawsuit.

"But despite this and other warnings, President Trump urged the attendees at the Jan. 6th rally to march to the Capitol to 'take back your country,'" the court filing said. "Despite urgent pleas from Capitol Hill and from many of President Trump's supporters, President Trump did not act immediately
to publicly ask or instruct the violent rioters [to] leave the Capitol."

The filing also states that it is clear that Trump never contacted the Department of Defense that day to dispatch help.

"It is also now clear that Mr. Trump never telephoned his Secretary of Defense that day to order deployment of National Guard, and never contacted any federal law enforcement agency to order security assistance to the Capitol Police," the filing explained.

"Information received by the Select Committee indicates that Mr. Trump was in the dining room, watching on his TV, and did not urge his supporters to leave the Capitol for over three hours. And even at 4:17 p.m. when he released a video, President Trump told those in the Capitol
'we love you. You’re very special,' and at 6:01 p.m. he tweeted, 'Remember this day forever!'"

"Certain text communications with Members of Congress suggest that Mr. Meadows himself 'pushed' for Vice President Pence to take unilateral action to reject the counting of electoral votes on January 6th," the committee says in the filing.

It also cites Rep. Scott Perry and his conversations with Meadows via text message.

"And while Mr. Trump’s widely publicized call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was ongoing, Mr. Meadows exchanged text messages regarding the call with another member of the Georgia government," said the filing.

"In addition, Mr. Meadows communicated repeatedly by text with Congressman Scott Perry regarding a plan to replace Department of Justice leadership in the days before January 6th."
