We can’t sweep everything under the rugunderlined Bennie Thompson, the head of the commission of January 6. Americans deserve answers.

For nearly a year, Mr. Thompson and a group of elected officials – seven Democrats and two Republicans – heard from more than 1,000 witnesses, including the former president’s two sons, and screened 140,000 documents. to clarify the specific actions and deeds of Donald Trump before, during and after this event that shook American democracy.

Thursday’s hearing was the first in a series of seven to take place next month to show that the attack was a concerted effort to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s success and that Donald Trump mobilized it all. .

Donald Trump, great leader

Mr. Thompson supported the findings of the committee conducted by Trump a extensive multilevel conspiracy to overturn the presidential election and that the insurrection on January 6 was its culmination attempted coup.

President Trump mobilized a violent moblaunched Liz Cheney, one of the only Republicans on the committee and caused her party’s anger for criticizing Donald Trump in the past. The Attack on Our Capitol Was Not a Spontaneous Riotbut instead a sophisticated seven step plan.

Testimonials presented on Thursday show how attached you are to Mr. Trump on his own lies, even as his entourage hammered that Joe Biden actually won. The allegations of voter fraud are nonsense insisted the former U.S. attorney general, William Barr, but was very loyal to the president during his term, during an interrogation presented for the first time to the public.

Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, agreed when questioned by the committee in April. I respect DA Barr, so I accept what he said. An adviser to the former president, Jason Miller, told the committee that other campaign strategists in very clear terms to Trump that he is gone.

The extreme right is involved

The committee also heard witnesses on Thursday night, including British documentary filmmaker Nick Quested. The latter was followed by members of Proud Boysa far-right group that Canada considers a terrorist organization, as they marched from the rally where Donald Trump was speaking at the Capitol.

The other day, he also captured photos of a meeting between members of Proud Boys at Guardians of the Oathanother far -right group, where they made a plan for January 6. The footage Mr Quested recorded in the thickness of the action was used by the committee in their investigation.

Many rioters also taught to move at the request of the billionaire. Bennie Thompson takes evidence of Donald Trump’s comments, as when he asked Proud Boys ng turn around and watch (turn around and stand up) during the presidential debate.

The committee also presented part of the interrogation of a member of Proud Boys who believe that organizational forces exist probably triple after this comment of 45^e President.

This is massacre. It’s chaos.

The committee also showed videos of the crowd committing violence, from their march to the Capitol to their assault and then their brutal attacks on police and security agents.

Sequences recorded by surveillance cameras and intervention cameras, in particular, show rioters beating police officers with flag bearers, baseball bats and other equipment.

Caroline Edwards, a Capitol police officer who sustained a concussion after being assaulted by a member of the Proud Boys gave a touching testimony.

The Capitol is like a war scene worthy of a film after hours of hand-to-hand fighting with rioters, a situation where no agent could be prepared.

We were there

In other passages, the protesters can be seen singing bitin si mike pence, because the vice president refused to annul the election to Joe Biden. You can also hear them shouting Nancy, Nancy to the offices of Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives.

People who attended the hearing sighed as Liz Cheney read the testimony saying that when Trump heard the rioters called Mike Pense to be hanged he told them they were probably right and Mr Pence deserved it.

Elected Democrats trapped during the attack are also in the game. A representative from Minnesota, Dean Philips, was still shocked at such an event exposing the weakness of democracy. can be washed by tens of millions of people.

Many Republicans have tried to reduce the insurgency by blaming Democrats for overthinking events. We want to remind people that we are there. We have seen how close we are to the first violent transfer of power in this countryhammered Mr Philipps.
