No, there wasn't a conspiracy, they were just tourists, it was all totally normal

Recall also, Grassley announced he was presiding over the events of Jan 6 ahead of time:

If it happened, Ornato and Engle aren’t going to admit it because they will protect Trump. There is no doubt that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol and was pissed when told he couldn’t. We know that because Trump said so when he got back to the White House. McEnany corroborated that he was mad and still wanted to go to the Capitol. If your only dispute with Hutchinson’s testimony is whether Trump could reach the steering wheel, that’s an irrelevant detail that may have been exaggerated by Engle telling Ornato or by Ornato telling Hutchinson. You still have Trump reaching for the driver, Engle grabbing Trump’s arm, and Trump grabbing Engle. Hutchinson didn’t make all that up. It’s the story she was told.

Oh boy. I thought Engle was the driver. No? Then the driver can’t refute that Ornato told her that story, but he could certainly have already corroborated that Trump lunged at the wheel. He could certainly corroborate that someone’s clavicle was endangered.

Oh I thought Engel was in the car? Anyway. Doesn’t really matter. Obviously they were shook by whatever happened and told her something.

Engel has finally testified. 🍿

After following some of the hearings and reading actual correspondence between the Oath Keepers and Trump, I am pissed that this man was ever allowed anywhere near the White House. What the hell is wrong with us, America? How did we fall so far as a country to allow this degenerate to win even one election.

I am seriously concerned for our country. 2024 may just break us.

It’s what the hell is wrong with the GOP, not with “us.” There is not and never has been a both sides to this. There is the GOP actively blocking campaign finance reform, their regressive justices opening the spigot of dark money. The GOP undermines democracy at all levels and in multiple ways. The GOP has devolved from Eisenhower down to Trump/DeSantis, the kind of fascist cowards who are only powerful as much as bullies ever are, the kind of cowards who are almost victims of political crimes - but then they keep supporting the people who plotted to have them killed. You’re right. Trump shouldn’t have been anywhere near the White House, but he was and the same party that made that happen (with treason!) will do it again.

The GOP, as the inheritor of the confederacy, of the people who wouldn’t change a damn thing in regards to the US’s genocide if we had it all to do over again, is the problem. There is no time to straddle “both sides” anymore; that response is actually preventing us from fixing the problem.

I continue to fervently hope that he will die. Something natural and public and unable to be viewed as suspicious by all but the most batsh!t crazy Q-type folks. It’s going to take decades to get past the damage that has been done already.

There’s been speculation by a lot of smart people that Meadows has been cooperating with DOJ.

Ding ding ding

“In addition, Justice Department investigators in April received phone records of key officials and aides in the Trump administration, including his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, according to two people familiar with the matter. That effort is another indicator of how expansive the Jan. 6 probe had become, well before the high-profile, televised House hearings in June and July on the subject.”

Will he bring his girlfriend, the FSB spy?

Very interesting details on why there was the rushed public testimony of Hutchinson: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/10/us/politics/cassidy-hutchinson-jan-6-testimony.html

All the people who tried to stop her to the people who helped her to speak in public testimony are Republicans.

Sounds like damned good lawyering to me.

Thursday prime time hearing has been postponed. Tomorrow/Tuesday’s hearing is still on but at 1 pm instead of 10 am.
