I watched the whole hearing. Things that stood out: 1. The testimony and words of the people inside the administration. Barr. Milley. Meadows. Ivanka. Everyone told Trump that there was "no there there" as far as the election being stolen. 2. The fact that Trump never called the Defense Department, the acting Attorney General, or the Department of Homeland Security on Jan 6. Pence did, and told them what was happening and that they needed help. That weasel Meadows was worried about the "narrative" that Pence was calling the shots and Trump wasn't. 3. Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards. What an amazing woman. Her description of being in hand to hand combat for hours was riveting and terrifying.

My next door neighbor is also a Capitol police officer. He was sitting right behind her during her testimony. Get the popcorn. The next few weeks will be interesting, to say the least. | |||

Was expecting more from the lie machine today. Were they too busy watching Fox or am I looking in the wrong places?

How Fox and Newsmax spun it. Could only read part of it.

The cynic in me says it's too soon to tell because the hearings may have zero impact. But I'd be tempted to also compare her to the "have you no sense of decency" lawyer who testified late in the entire thing. I seem to recall that had a lot more effect than MCS, though it could have just been a timing issue where he gave voice to what many people had come around to thinking. Re: zero impact - I hope I'm wrong. I figure there are three big groups of people. The first group are die-hard Trumper/MAGA people, who aren't paying attention and are sure that anything that conflicts with their world view is fake. The second are the opposite group - convinced that Trump is (best case) an overbearing, narcissistic danger to democracy or (worst case) the biggest threat to the world ever. Their minds are also made up. The third, most important group are those who are following the hearings with some open mindedness and willing to change their minds. I'm hoping that the second and third groups are enough to make a difference, and they don't get distracted by the GOP talking points about inflation, gas prices, etc. | |||

Kellyanne Conway was on Bill Maher the other night and was constantly deflecting onto gas prices, baby formula...could not stay on the Jan. 6 topic. Like a broken gearshift...

Open in browser June 10, 2022 Heather Cox Richardson Jun 11 Comment Share Preliminary reports say that about 20 million people watched last night’s compelling hearing of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. That number, which does not include streaming or later views, is fewer than tune in for a normal State of the Union address, but more than for the World Series.

Her continued refusal to leave the GOP is really irritating. She cannot change that party. She cannot reform it. She cannot "bring these people to their senses." | |||

It wasn't super clear, but I was actually referring to Bill Palatucci and his observation that people can walk and chew gum at the same time....
