Jan. 6 panel has 'firsthand testimony' Ivanka Trump asked father to intervene in riot, Cheney says
GOP Rep. Liz Cheney said the panel also had testimony that the then-president was watching the attack on TV as allies, including his daughter, asked him to do something.
"The committee has firsthand testimony now that he was sitting in the dining room next to the Oval Office watching the attack on television as the assault on the Capitol occurred. We know, as you know well, that the briefing room at the White House is just a mere few steps from the Oval Office," Cheney, the vice chair of the committee, said on ABC News' "This Week."
She said that at any moment, Trump could have walked to the briefing room and appeared on television.
"We know, as he was sitting there in the dining room next to the Oval Office, members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television, to tell people to stop. We know Leader McCarthy was pleading with him to do that," she said, referring to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
"We know members of his family, we know his daughter — we have firsthand testimony that his daughter Ivanka went in at least twice to ask him to please stop this violence," she said.

Lock him up.
Please.
We need to put this nonsense in it's place.
For the good of the country, those who do wrong need to be locked up. Those who follow them need to see that their leader has led them astray.

So it's unlikely Ivanka was involved in the planning. Interesting.

Did you hear what Cheney said? Trump was sitting in the dining room next to the oval office watching the riot on the news. Ivanka came in a couple of times and asked him to stop it.
WTF? There's no proof Trump could have done anything to stop it once it started. There's no proof in that Trump had anything to do with starting it. This whole Jan 6 committee thing is getting more insane and silly by the day.
We are under the rule of a Revolution, this is abuse.

The really interesting thing would be evidence of what the PRESIDENT said when he was repeatedly asked to intervene.
It might show some people here what pathetic dupes they are.
With civilized people men and woman are hanged for what they do, not what they say, and not for what they think.

Well, the PRESIDENT did nothing as long as there was a chance of the attack working, so I guess that puts him in the clear. Lol.
Oh please....

Agreed.
Results count; Trump did nothing for four(?) hours despite repeated requests from Republicans and his own daughter. Even then, what he did was minimal.

Seriously? If the ship broke out fighting each other, are you saying it's okay for the Captain to sit in his stateroom and do nothing??? WTFO?
Trump took an oath and he violated it repeatedly. Fuck him and any cocksucker like him. Oath-breakers are traitors and should be treated as such.
We have all the proof we need
The riot finally stopped five minutes after Trump finally went on TV and told them to go home. He had the power to call off his dogs
The fact that Republican congressmen and Trump's own family spent three hours begging him to call off his dogs demonstrates that everyone knew Trump had the power to make It stop.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks a statement from POTUS, who ordered them to the Capitol in the first place, also couldn't also send them back home is either a fucking liar or a fucking moron.
I am going with fucking liar.
Everyone knows Trump had the power and influence to call off his dogs -- whether or not they have the integrity to publically confess it.
