Better yet, we should just change Election Day to Jan 6th so all Republican votes get deleted.

I guess this goes here. Claims proof of the coup attempt. I'm not spending $5 on a book just to be let down though. I do think it's quite possible, likely even, that he's on the right track. However, I doubt this is ever proven in court unless multiple rats flip for deals. Twitter thread is an interesting read nonetheless.

I have no idea what's true or who's lying or whatever. What I do know is it was highly suspect when Trump fired all of those high ranking officials in the Pentagon and installed a bunch of yes men with only a month left in his administration. IIRC, he replaced the top 4 people in the Pentagon with his people after the election.
We always wondered why.

Pence says he would consider testifying to Jan. 6 Capitol riot panel
WASHINGTON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on Wednesday he would consider testifying before the House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol if he were to receive an invitation.
I don't think he was ever going to hold a federal office other than President, and it doesn't bar him from that.

Haven't seen anything. I am guessing here, but with so many different criminal investigations into him and his "people" I think we'll be seeing a big one towards the end of the month. They have so much evidence against him to sift through now. Plus, as more folks are running scared, I think they're overwhelmed a little with the volume coming in.
If the DOJ investigation is going to take a couple weeks off of the stolen and lost classified documents it would be a good time to resume the hearings.
Is it still a crime to attempt a coup if it fails? Asking for a friend.This is very persuasive:

January 6 committee will hold hearing on September 28, chairman says | CNN Politics
The chairman of the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, on Tuesday said the panel will hold a hearing next week.
January 6 committee will hold hearing on September 28, chairman says
(CNN)The chairman of the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, on Tuesday said the panel will hold a hearing next week.
Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi said the hearing will take place on September 28 at 1 p.m. ET. As of now, the hearing, which has not been formally announced by the committee, will mark the panel's last until it releases its final report, which is expected by the end of the year.
"I can say that unless something else develops, this hearing at this point is the final hearing. But it's not in stone because things happen," he said.
Thompson said the panel has decided on a hearing topic, but he did not elaborate on what it would be. The theme will be one the panel has not previously explored, he said.
"We have substantial footage of what occurred that we haven't used," he told CNN. "We've had significant witness testimony that we haven't used in other hearings. So this is an opportunity to use some of that material."
The panel has not yet decided whether there will be in-person witnesses, but the chairman said the panel would "shortly" make a decision as to whether witnesses would be involved.
"I'll be chairing the hearing and every member of the committee will have a role," Thompson said.

Of course Republicans won't vote for it because it will make it harder for them to steal elections.
Not sure if this has been investigated by the Select committee but this story will be running this weekend on 60 minutes. The interview Is with former Republican Congressman Denver Riggleman from Virginia about a telephone call made from a unknown person in the White House to a known rioter when the riot was taking place January 6th.

I'm sure it will be mentioned in some fashion. Saw something today (take with a grain of salt) that it was Meadows who called the insurrectionist.
Seems strange anyone in the White House would use the switch board operator to make the call....why not on their own cell phone?

Because then it's a specific person. This way all they (allegedly) have is "it's coming from inside the house!!!!!!!"

You're right. No one in the previous admin would do anything "strange". BTW- I see now they have a Meadows text, not a call. Still more coming out. Can't wait for tomorrow's public disclosures.

House Jan. 6 Panel Postpones Hearing, Citing Hurricane Ian
A member of the committee, Stephanie Murphy, represents a district in the path of Hurricane Ian.
WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has postponed its hearing planned for Wednesday at 1 p.m., citing Hurricane Ian’s advancement on Florida.
The district of Representative Stephanie Murphy, Democrat of Florida and a member of the committee, is in the path of the hurricane.
The committee’s leadership did not announce a new date for the hearing, its first since July. The committee had not yet specified what topics it intended to cover.
“In light of Hurricane Ian bearing down on parts of Florida, we have decided to postpone tomorrow’s proceedings,” Representative Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi, and Representative Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, said in a statement. “We’re praying for the safety of all those in the storm’s path. The select committee’s investigation goes forward and we will soon announce a date for the postponed proceedings.”

Disgusting. And even worse when so many people refuse to acknowledge the obvious.
