Mr Trump tried to get VP Pence to reject the Electoral College count.
Mr Pence and his staff consistently told Trump he would do his constitutional duty and certify the count.
At the rally where Trump told the mob to fight, he again implored Pence to decertify.
Then Trump told the Proud Boys to attack the Capitol.

Mr Trump planned the coup from the very beginning.
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House committee investigating the Capitol insurrection used its latest public hearing on Thursday to focus on the pressure that then-President Donald Trump put on his vice president, Mike Pence, to delay or reject the certification of Joe Biden’s election victory on Jan. 6, 2021. The committee is trying to show how that pressure incited an angry mob to lay siege to the Capitol that day.

Trump pressed, threatened Pence to overturn election

WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump pressured his vice president, Mike Pence, to overturn his 2020 election defeat despite being told repeatedly it was illegal to do so, aides to Pence told the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol on Thursday.

Members of the Democratic-led House of Representatives select committee said Trump continued his pressure campaign even though he knew a violent mob of his supporters was threatening the Capitol as Pence and lawmakers met to formally certify President Joe Biden's victory in the November 2020 election.

Of course it was planned. There were congressmen helping the Proud Boys case the Capitol the day before. There are a lot of assholes involved.
 
Trump a ‘clear and present danger to US democracy’, conservative judge warns

In a chilling warning, a conservative judge closed the the third January 6 committee hearing on Thursday by saying Donald Trump, his allies and supporters were still “a clear and present danger to American democracy”.

J Michael Luttig testified that the former US president and his Republican supporters are preparing in open sight an “attempt to overturn that 2024 election in the same way that they attempted to overturn the 2020 election, but [to] succeed”.

The retired federal judge, a Ronald Reagan appointee, testified in his capacity as an adviser to Mike Pence, who was vice-president to Trump between 2017 and 2021.

Nothing illegal. Trump, as a citizen and voter, is entitled to seek whatever redress he feels he needs in an election fraught with fraud and inconsistencies. ;)

At the rally where Trump told the mob to fight,

Yes, politically and rhetorically. Be less stupid. If that is illegal speech, we need to lock up Maxine Waters and Schumer right now. :palm:

he again implored Pence to decertify.

Not illegal. :palm:

Then Trump told the Proud Boys to attack the Capitol.

Lie, lame and moronic. You just can't post without lying and looking like a shrill dumbass can you? :palm:

Trump put pressure on politicians. O M G!!!! Stop already. You look pathetic, shrill and lame. :palm:
 
These hearings are silly.
And I think Trump is a manchild and I would love to see him go to jail for a few months (it would look good on him - probably do him good).
And Obama (for ordering the murder of an American without trial).

The January 6 riots were just that - riots.
Calling them an 'insurrection' is nonsense.

And again, the fact that the far left is freaking over these riots.
But is not calling any hearings about the far more deadly and destructive BLM riots speaks volumes for their sense of justice and decency.
I.E. - if the left causes trouble...ignore it.
If the right does - destroy them!!!

But don't get me wrong.
I do not believe the far right are any more decent than the far left...they just show there lack of decency in different ways.

Barack Obama would have been run out of the country for doing what Trump did.

Obama did far worse. But shrill, mentally challenged losers on the left are okay with it. Obama allowed for an attempted coup with the FAKE dossier and Russia collusion hoax. Obama is the only president to tell congress he will act without them....

"I've got a pen, and I've got a phone."

“With or without Congress, I’m going to continue to fight for them. I do hope Congress joins me instead of spending the coming months in a lot of phony political debates focusing on the next election.”

“When Congress refuses to act, Joe and I are going to act,”

Dumbest thing I've ever heard from a judge. He also admitted that this is about the 2024 elections.

In other words, this is nothing more than a weak, political hit job and smear campaign. Democrats are the existential threat they rail about.
:palm:
