SORE AT HIS NO. 2

Trump entered the Oval Office at 11:08 a.m. By that time, about 400 pro-Trump demonstrators had already massed at the Capitol. Trump placed a call to Vice President Mike Pence — their only conversation of the day. It didn’t go well: Trump wanted Pence to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, and he was very unhappy the vice president wouldn’t do it.

‘THEY’RE THROWING METAL POLES’

Growing crowds were migrating to the Capitol. Almost immediately after Trump concluded, a Capitol Police officer called for backup.

“They’re throwing metal poles at us,” the officer said in a panicked voice. “Multiple law-enforcement injuries.”

Would Trump himself head for the Capitol, as he’d suggested in his speech? It was unclear at first, but his motorcade turned to head back to the White House.

At 1:21 p.m., Trump met with his valet at the White House, logs say. At the Capitol, meanwhile, then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund begged for help from the National Guard as the crowd started to swell around the west side of the building and became increasingly violent.
 
At 11:38 a.m., the president left the White House to address his rally on the Ellipse, a big grassy oval behind the White House, about a mile or so from the Capitol. It was bitter cold, but that didn’t keep the crowd away. Trump was up on stage by 11:57 and addressed his supporters until about 1:15 p.m.

Among Trump’s challenging final words: “We fight. We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not going to have a country any more. My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country. So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. And we’re going to the Capitol.”
 
At 2:28, he tweeted not about the violence but to show his pique at his vice presiden

“I was the first person to call him,” McCarthy said. “I told him to go on national TV, tell these people to stop it. He said he didn’t know what was happening.”

California Republican Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler said McCarthy relayed that conversation to her. By her account, when McCarthy told Trump it was his own supporters breaking into the building, Trump responded: “Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”

Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was getting a flurry of texts from lawmakers, from Fox News personalities and even Trump’s own children.

“Hey, Mark, protestors are literally storming the Capitol. Breaking windows on doors. Rushing in. Is Trump going to say something?” reads one text.

“We are all helpless,” says another.

As the violence continued, the president’s elder son texted Meadows:

“He’s got to condemn this s(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk) Asap,” Donald Trump, Jr. texted.

Meadows responded: “I’m pushing it hard. I agree.”

Trump, Jr. texted again and again, urging that his father act:

“We need an Oval address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand.”

And trump gorged himself on Big Macs, and watched the joyous event on a wall of televisions.

Often rewinding to re watch the good parts.

I believe one if his spawn actually stated that 'he's ruining his legacy'.

Which shows how delusional the entire Klan is.

That was on TV. Trump was enjoying it and some of those around him were shocked. They seemed to fear what was happening to our democracy. That was not a factor in Trump's thinking. He did not care at all.

We have all the evidence to prosecute.

trump is good at one thing (aside from scamming investors).

Playing dumb. They will have to prove that he 'knew' about the violence. He doesn't text. He doesn't email. His inner circle of criminals is not talking.

They're stalling until Jan '23

No he didn't, and the staffers have all testified to same.

He didn't 'care'. He was basking in the glory.

Then all the worse for Biden and Garland being passive.
 
Trump son-in-law Kushner appears before U.S. House Jan 6 committee

WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner made a "valuable" appearance on Thursday before the U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, Representative Elaine Luria, a member of the panel, said.

"It was really valuable for us to have the opportunity to speak to him," Luria told MSNBC. The Democratic representative declined to provide specifics about Kushner's appearance before the panel via videolink, but said he commented on various reports about events of the day that have already been published.

What about Obama's gap on providing support for Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens?

I mean Hillary took out the country's leader and plunged it into chaos with 100s of thousands dying.

But uh..what about all the Obama lies, baby?

Why did Obama not reinforce a US embassy in Libya? Because he's a Muslim shitbag faggot traitor, that's why.
