It looks like Trump is determined to be a guest of the taxpayers. If it can’t be in the White House then it will be in the Big House.

Today’s hearing was amazing especially the final 2 witnesses, one a former member of the Oath Keepers and the 2nd one a regular Trump supporter who went to DC and into the Capital because Trump asked him to.

Hey, if its Cheney and the Dem committee saying this, it does have a remote possibility of maybe being true.

So far every new witness has been a dud. Face it: the partisan Jan 6th commission is a waste of time. It’s meant to distract the American people from real issues. You want a commission to investigate politically motivated violence? For that I’m all in. It’s about time we looked in to the Summer of 2020 BLM riots.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if either Trump or the January 6 committee were found guilty of witness tampering but what is the basis for this accusation against Trump? That he allegedly unsuccessfully tried to call someone who he presumably knew if the person was being called as a witness?

What evidence is there that he tried to get that witness to lie, alter or destroy evidence, or not testify or cooperate with authorities at all? You have no idea what he would have said had the person picked up.
