Worse than Watergate...and I watched that live, too. Trump should be arrested for treason, period!
I absolutely agree with you 👍
I watched Watergate too. I thought that was bad. This is many times worse.
So should Ginnie Thomas. If Clarence Thomas remains on the court, Republicans will still be victorious.
One of the things I noted about t was he and Nixon were the only 2 presidents that wanted to ban certain news outlets and they were not 'friendly' to them. Enough for me, if hiding then must have something to hide.
I also watched the Watergate on Tv..... Look what they did to President Nixon and letting Trump get away with treason
LOCK’EM ALL UP & NOW.😠
If this stuff had happened under a democratic president, the GOP would have had the military remove them.
I think you may be correct about that one. Seems to me the gop does not tend to think about how it would be if on the other foot. Of course, they just change their mind again like they did with confirming justices before an election, among others but the one I can think of at the moment.
Agree
and...the democrats would have had to praise the king (trump) before the beheading!...and i am serious about that!
The gun-lovin' GOP would probably remove them in the same way that the Kennedy brothers were removed... no courts involved.
How true, thank you!!
Thumbs up if you understand the gravity of what could have happened Jan 6th of 2021.
SJP...those rioters were serious! if they had done what trump wanted, many of our reps & senators would have been fatalities...and we would be an authoritarian country right now! but repukes are still trying to take control!
Nothing…

Are you sure?
The Republicans need to end Trump’s career.
Since this is all coming from communists on a illegitimate committee that they can't even put together under their own rules. Since the democrats and the tv have lied from day one. Im gonna say that not hearing from the other side ... there's a reason for that.
Pretty clear who biden and the democrats are working for just look at everything they keep doing we won't have a country at this rate by 2024 i suppose bbb makes sense after they have burned the entire nation down.

This is exactly why trump didn’t grant Eastman a pardon. Eastman will be the fall guy. He will eventually be indicted in several felony charges and will flip on all involved.
Is this guy still a law professor! Interesting to have a law class in the future about him and his plot to rob the American people of there legal votes.
theresa...and he didn't get a pardon...so...you are right!
Corrupt politicians should Not be a leader for we the people!!!! Period. They need to leave. I can’t believe our politicians are so corrupt that there still in office. Unacceptable!
We have an electorate that is easily duped with multi-million dollar ad campaigns that run 365 days a year. There's an overabundance of corruption going on in politics and that's what attracted Trump's attention. He's taken control of a major political party and corrupted the most corruptible into protecting HIMSELF and not the Constitution they swore to uphold.
After seeing Dr. Eastman keep claiming the Fifth so he wouldn't have to answer anything, I thought of Trump saying "anyone who claims the fifth is a member of the mob...." makes one think doesn't it??
I am watching from Canada, as are many Canadians. The Hon. Judge Luttig is a like a sage grandfather who speaks truthful words of reason. A little slowly albeit, but solid as a rock.
He’s careful with his words as he should be. He is like a sage grandfather 😃

Trump should already be in jail!!! How in the heck is Trump even ALLOWED to run again????
🤡
Trump 2024 🇺🇸
He can't run again have committed so many federal crimes! He should and quite possibly will be charged with treason.
Yeah I agree he should be punished. People lost their lives
Because he holds nearly the entirety of the GOP in his thrall, and he has not yet been convicted of any crime.
Any regular American would absolutely get thrown in prison,after doing this.Presidents also are regular people. So USA,take all this serious,and do what you would do to ANY American citizen. Trial,evidence,conviction. And Trump behind bars.Which is the only right ending in this case
And everyone that help him
This is one place that I would support capital punishment, specifically by a rapid trial and a firing squad.
In previous eras he would be executed for treason. Others have been executed for far less. Sedition and treason. “Speaking in a way that would encourage others to take up arms against the government is SEDITION. Anyone who actually carries out or participates in such plans, or helps those that do, is committing TREASON. Treason as a hanging offence was abolished in 1998 but anyone found guilty can still be sentenced to life in prison.

What gets me is how silent all these colleagues were for close to a month. The Capitol would have been barricaded. All of them are as guilty as the EX.

I agree with fattyjaybird🤜🤛✅ one hundred percent.
@@fattyjaybird7505 burning a few buildings was never a threat to our democracy. AND, none of the people that incited the insurrection have been held accountable so this can happen again
These hearing hit me hard. The others were effective but this was powerful, perhaps because it laid out so clearly how knowingly the ex-president conspired to commit illegal acts and pressured Mike Pence to commit illegal acts so that he could stay in power. I have little admiration for Pence but on the day it counted; he had the courage to stand for his country.
Finally doing the right thing. How long did it take to uphold and defend the Constitution and finally perform his sworn oath? Almost 3 years, 355 days. Wow. Glad Pence finally showed gumption-wish he coulda quashed it sooner?
I felt the same.

You see courage, I see a poker player placing a bet.
The former President brought his shady business practices to his presidency. One mistake almost cost us our democracy. That’s why did all it could (misinformation , disinformation, propaganda, racial divisions), to put him in the White House. Russia has been trying to destabilize the US for a very long time.
Honestly, all you have to do is listen to Trump speak at an event or rally. Listen to his entire speech from start to end instead of Cherry picked clips by Fox or MSNBC… you can easily conclude without any media bias…there is no denying he is dangerous, irrational, narcissistic, there is no goodness there.
100%! I was watching a livestream of the maga rally on January 6th filmed in full. Trump is a dangerous lunatic
Honorable judge Luttig is such a sweetheart! I want to hug him because he is SO upset at what these buffoons tried. “I would have laid my body across the road”.
He has to be especially hurt that his clerk Eastman is the one who cooked this idea up.

trinka...too little, too late! not one repuke is going to go to jail...
As much as I detest theocrats, I really do have to hand it to Pence. He put his own life in very real danger to see the will of the people served. He is faithful to that part of the Constitution at least, and I am grateful to him for that.
I wonder why exactly he is a conservative republican.
SPINE? WHERE WAS HE WHEN THE LIES WERE BEING TOLD???? YOU FOOL
It was pretty obvious. Jacobs was rueful, but clear and open. There are other career conservatives speaking out about how dangerous this was to democracy. There's hope for a new conservative party, although the Mitch/Kevin GOP may be dead.
I am a Proud Republican of 46 years, but I want the truth regarding January 6. Let the hearings continue.
Please vote for people that abhor what we're seeing of the Trump legacy

All must be held accountable and prosecuted
Let's start with everyone at CHAZ
1887 law is important . And our Constitution always throws power back to majority not to VP.
No one should grad hs without understanding basic Constitution. Judge Lettig amazing recall ! Cmon America study harder!
Agreed, but then again, I majored in History
That sentence in the Constitution needs to be glossed to make its meaning crystal clear! Mr. Jacobs understanding of the History that formed the Constitution does not seem to be common Knowledge any longer.
This is why the Great Pumpkin loves the uneducated. Any conman knows how to exploit those who are most easily manipulated.
While I agree, outcome should never be by one person, especially a person on ticket. Jacobs is wrong about “when the founding fathers wrote it, they would never let one person on ticket decide President” because at that time the President and VP were NOT on same ticket. Just interesting history.
this may all be heresay.
Trump will bring more Sedition in 2024
Hopefully he'll be locked up by 2024🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
You could re elect Biden, the most popular president of all times, according to the 2020 election.
Thank you Pence for standing up as a real American! I think you surprised us all .
He’s a wimp with no backbone.
He stood up when they were coming after him at the capital. But he did question if it was legal to do what they wanted.
YES YES YES
@@slavikk6712 So you think he should have knuckled under to Trump's pressure, violated the Constitution, and thrown out the will of the American people? Weird idea of "backbone."

"I don't want to be your friend anymore!" ROFLLLLLLL.... I haven't heard that since 2nd grade!!

There are at least 50 people in complete isolation for 18 months now. They have not been allowed to see their lawyers or even family. Many of them only have the charge of "Trespassing". They plan to keep them in complete isolation until they're court hearing which won't be for a while yet. They have not given a realistic rationale for why they are in complete isolation. None of the lawyers involved have ever seen treatment of people like this in the US.
The people involved in the riots in the summer time are generally out and free.

Do you honestly believe that Biden is the most popular president of all times? That is what the numbers from the 2020 election show. It shows that he is more popular than Obama. Does that sound correct to you? Counting Trump haters is not enough to give these kind of numbers.
I'm shocked that so many people commenting are surprised that this is "so much bigger than they thought it was." TFG came right out and said it during one of the debates when he was asked if he would leave if he lost. I can't recall his exact words from that night, but he clearly implied that if the election was rigged that he wouldn't step down..He had already said that the only way he could lose was if the election was rigged. He repeated that at every rally and in ever single interview..His niece, Mary, said unequivocally that he wouldn't leave.
I think it’s also just so surprising he actually almost pulled it off, that the maliciousness came to fruition.
@Hooked On Blankets Right. Should have been his last debate ever.
@Hooked On Blankets stop lying
@@christinemiller1735 She wasn’t lying. She just got a word wrong. His exact words were: “Stand back and stand by.” But that’s the same thing and we have proof that it was understood exactly that way because the then leader of the Proud Boys responded in a Tweet saying, “Standing by, Sir.”
Illegitimate committee that breaks the rules run by all democrats who have been lying since they got in hummm i really trust that this one side testimony like a cnn tv show is telling the truth. If this was on the up and up we wouldn't be excluding any rebuttles.
I wonder what Pence's wife and daughter were thinking.
I’m not a Pence fan, but he acted heroically on that day. I bet his family was terrified.
I'm sure the founding fathers had the right idea, but I truly hope that for their own sake, most Americans acknowledge that since January 6th - their democracy is now sliding down a knife's edge.
The problem is that the founders thought only moral, ethical men (not counting slavery, of course, because that didn’t count) would be elected to office.
We will find out in the mid-terms this November I guess. I'd hope book sales that have anything to do with how our government works, the constitution and the founding fathers would go way up and voting becomes a priority not just now but in the long term. However people in the US seem to be running on anger and fear right now, neither of which are all that great for learning and understanding.
oh we do!! the thing some foreigners might not understand is trump and his acolytes get outvoted severely in almost every general election. including 2016. We just have a system that isn't working so well for democracy these days. For instance our main legislative body (US Senate) has 2 representatives from each state. Wyoming and california get the same representation. Therefore we massively favor rural populations in that body... And don't get us started on the electoral college
We’re circling the drain.

Cheering for Pence feels a lot like cheering on an abuser that decided not to beat his wife one time when he was on tv in front of millions. As evidenced here, MOST of even these extremists weren't willing to go this far, he had to stand up to one idiot while the rest of their inner circle supported Pence's choice. And it was just the perfect moment for Pence to falsely distance himself from the Trump show right at the end, as if he wasn't directly involved it its operation for over 4 years and permitted every single thing Trump did. Stop cheering him on when the response should only be "Okay?? You did what you're supposed to do one time."
Agreed, well stated!
My thoughts exactly. Damage control and paletable optics at its finest.
Exactly. Pence didn’t choose to do the right thing one time. He chose to avoid treason and sedition charges he knew he would face. He chose to try to stay out of jail. This time. He’s committed treason and sedition in the past. No doubt about it.
Very well said. All of these hearings, watched end to end, portray an extremely dark and portentous moment in America's history. And sadly, there are yet darker times ahead, no matter what Garland does or doesn't do.
As far as Chris Christie acting as a commentator taking a critical stance against Trump, it is galling to hear him speak after cowtowing to Trump for 4 years. Just doing whatever benefits himself at the moment.
Actually, Chris Christi stood up to Trump just after the election. He resigned due to disagreements with trump.

@@cherylj7460 Lady put the Shut all the way and completely to the Up. Whether Christie was a part of this hearing or not, there is indeed nothing misleading about the FACT (and not the alternative one) that he was most certainly a member of Donald Chump's cult of followers who believed that Chump could do no wrong despite all of the wrong he had already conducted in office - that is until Christie realized it was no longer beneficial to his political career to continue supporting that criminal.

@@normaray3901 he got more votes than tRump and that is what counts.
Put Don the Con in jail already!!! How much more evidence do they need????
Do you still not understand that the Committee must leave nothing unexamined, nothing ambiguous, nothing unfinished? If they did, Trump’s lawyers and propagandists would pounce on it, twist it, amplify it, exploit it and then give a distorted and dumbed down, sensationalized version to his support base to claim bias, error, etc? Trump needs to show the Committee is somehow doubtful, illegitimate, prejudiced. If he isn’t able to discredit them, he will likely be indicted and go to prison.
I hope you realize that this committee cannot charge him. Only the DOJ can, and they are actively investigating. With that said, after todays hearing, they made a formal request to the committee to provide all transcripts of interviews with witnesses to them, swiftly. Justice is coming, but the wheels of the government turn slowly.
Really amazing. It's very humbling and inspiring to see and hear how much love and honor the Committee members, Mr. Jacob, and most particularly Hon. Luttig have for our American Constitution. 🇺🇲

If those that took part in the attempted overthrow of our government are not given prison terms of significant amount then further attempts will be done in the future. It is imperative that punishment be given.
First of all , They were not there to over throw the Government. It was a protest. Second , Security was offered and refused. And third, The White House belongs to the people. Forth, How do you like what we have there now? There's where your overthrow is. What do you think Biden is doing?

PEOPLE DIED
Let's not give Pence too much credit. He asked called Dan Quayle to ask if he could do what Trump asked, meaning he was considering it. If DQ had told him it was ok, he would've gone ahead with it.
Yeah way to many officials skirted a criminal conspiracy to seize power, and should not be rehabilitated. Thank Pence for his courage in that instance, but he and many others can not be trusted with political power.
Well at least Pence had a line he wouldn't cross; not apparent in most around t. The reason he questioned it was due to the plethora of questionable actions of the president. I didn't know he asked DQ but heard he asked several attorneys.
@ Rowynne Crowley
I’m no defender or supporter of Pence by no means, but what’s so wrong or illegal about considering whether or not a thing is right or wrong? And had Dan Quayle informed him that it was ok and he followed up on it and did what Trump requested of him thinking it the constitutionally right thing to do, what’s so wrong or unconstitutional about that? Heck, in that case, it would’ve been the honorable thing to do!
What are you suggesting by your comment, to follow party, or principle?
If we take what’s seen and heard here to be true, and I don’t take this horse and pony show of lies, phoniness, and deception to be true for one minute, then, if anything, Pence followed principle rather than be loyal to a party and power he felt in the wrong.
So, given that scenario of this feces show, if it were honest, sincere, and not falsehood and deception, some credit could be rightly credited to Pence.
Heya Rowynne, ask yourself, wouldn't you to want advice from everyone if you were in his position ? Come on, open your mind....he did the lawful thing in the end, no matter anyone's opinion of his motives or background.
I'm not going to give him much credit at all, because he knew what trump was like. All I know if my co-worker asked for my head on a platter I would hate his sorry ?ss! Don't ask me to be your friend, stitch!
Has anyone looked into the votes when Trump was actually elected? I’m sorry but I have never understood how an Entrepneur who has lost his fortune over 5 times and had to rebuild and the 5 times may be a low count, but how did this amazing United States of America elect and allow a Socialite to run our country? Yes I know our country ran seemingly well but did it really??? How could anyone anticipate Covid and how we would have to run a country under a mass pandemic.
As someone who made the supreme mistake of voting for the Great Pumpkin the first time, I can tell you that most people who voted for him (and were not staunch republicans) were people who were drawn to his message about being a political outsider who was trying to drain the political swamp of corruption and cronyism. People have been dissatisfied with the way that the 2 party system has been playing politics over the last few decades and they wanted a change. This is why Obama ran under the "Change" platform and is also similar to Bernie Sanders' messaging before he was sold out by his own party at the Democratic National Convention. What we did not anticipate was that the only change that would happen was that we would have an ignorant, power-hungry conman who was willing to dismantle our democracy to fuel his own ambition at the helm of our nation.
It ran great under Trump.
It was Democrats who advocated social gatherings and anti vaccines. Because Trump......
This hearing is just wasted money on trying to keep it's citizen's from looking at the failed policies of the Democrats.
It would be laughable if not so serious.
He did lose the popular vote but won the electoral vote. As has happened in a few elections. A clear indication of the divide along political lines
in this country. They need to be more concerned with progress and improvement than catering to the news” need to promote political, racial and religious devises for ratings. A lot of media has lost
Credibility.
Our Constitution states we the people- not I the Vice President. We formed a government for the people, BY THE PEOPLE
Not the “alternative people”!
Yea, and that’s what happened…so what’s the issue?
EXACTLY!! End of Story. Does 45 even know what the Constitution even is because they asked him about the Bible and he couldn't even tell them what his favorite book was,😂
Trump is the perfect example of “ Elect a clown, expect a circus.”
And Biden is the most popular president of all time according to the 2020 election. He is even more popular than Obama.
This is what happens when someone thinks a vote is a personality popularity contest, which happens at all levels of politics down to community groups, when devoid of accountability, a narcissist can rise (or try to) to dangerous positions of power.
This is what happens when extreme liberal leftists cheat too. Get ur facts straight. And set up innocent people and threaten people when they have different viewpoints from them yeah sure right.
Do you mean how, according to the 2020 election, Biden is the most popular president of all times? Even more popular than Obama?

Is this a South Park episode!? "I don't want to be your friend anymore 😿" what a petulant child 😆
I am relishing visualizing ex-president Trump Sitting behind his pretend presidential desk in Florida gulping down a big Mac in between raging and screaming at the TV during these hearings. What I wouldn’t give to see THAT live On a split screen!
I would love to see that too.
He's FIRED. :)
Gotta love the TDS
They're only showing one side of the story. If you want to get to the truth you have to see both sides. "The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him." Proverbs 18:17
What other side do you mean? This is an investigation - people need to come forward They are refusing
hearings are not tria!s. Read your dictionary and Constitution!
Who are you talking to?
Guess is it ok to get this Freetime and not have Trump get Freetime? One day-these folks. Next day-Trump team. Alternate.
The correct charge would be sedition. Treason only applys in times of war against a foreign enemy not a domestic enemy.
@@shawnnewell4541 Ahem. The terms “treason” and “sedition” are often used interchangeably, but they actually have different meanings. Treason is a federal crime that consists of acts against the United States government, while sedition is a state crime that consists of inciting rebellion or violence against the government. Trump and company committed treason...

America is not a Democracy. Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner. America is a Constitutional Republic in which all are endowed with inalienable rights which cannot be voted away.
what happened? when will the corporations that own news and run the govt lose their status? when will they stop dumbing down people so this doesn't happen again?
I have often wondered why Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News and many of the presenters on that network have never been held accountable for the programming they present.
Well, let’s see. Fox has lost their lawsuit that Dominion brought against them for putting out false narratives about the election. That’s one aspect. I’d bet that you NEVER research or care about such stuff. You just whine.
Yes. First thing is to stop the drama for ratings. Stop making everything an emotional issue, its what trump did and his cultists choose to only believe what he says due to this. When emotions are high, facts and truth have no space to get in or be heard.
They are the elite and think we are all fools and lazy. They proved some of us are of course. The reason we have entertainment and not news seems to stem from when cable came and tried to do 24 hour news channels. They had to make stuff up and create drama to get ratings and it snowballed to what we have now. I end up watching many news outlets, domestic and foreign, in order to sift the facts from the spin.

I think Atty. Eastman needs to be disbarred. Can’t we, as citizens, report him to the state regulatory agencies where he holds a license in?
His request for a pardon seems to be an admission of guilt.
Rudy too!
I agree. He should lose his license forever.
Requesting a pardon certainly suggests a crime occurred. Unfortunately, it doesn't make it clear what statute was violated. There would still be work to do before charging anyone.
I wasn't aware of all the Trump and his cronies put VP Pence through until have watching this hearing. I have changed my view of Pence. He is an American hero for putting our Constitution ahead of Trump's criminal coercion. Thank you, former VP Pence for not allowing yourself to be swayed by DJT.
Keep in mind that they're only showing you one side of the story. They're not showing you all of the videos or all of the testimonies.
"The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him."
Proverbs 18:17
Mr Eastman FINALLY SIR HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
Judge luttig..is a very intelligent man..he has so much going on in his mind he may have had a hard time getting his words out in a way most can understand..but his testimony was powerful..
he could lighten up
no, not at all...he is being timid...watch the pbs newshour on him, filed just prior to his testimony...this is an act
I heard he has a bad stutter.
Taken a Red Bull or somethin
Okay. I can see that now. At first it felt like he was talking in circles to me.
Eastman must have watched Dave Chappelle "I plead da FIF"
A year and a half later and I still dont think people can really wrap their heads around how close we are to losing our republic. There's an old saying that the inability to imagine the worst possible outcome is usually what allows it happen. People simply can't imagine that what is happening is actually happening.
Why haven’t they arrested Trump? Why did they fight audits tooth and nail? If I was Biden, I’d insist on audits-not recount-to prove I won, but they fought them tooth and nail.
The truth is the Cyber Ninjas audits were the factor at work, for the fortification of that *_"LEGALLY scheduled fraud debate:"_*
_Those Cyber Ninjas need to put on airwaves their own hearing of some sort_ so, as to render their findings *and share with the American people the outcome of their; speculative audit!*
There were audits. Many. All came out fine.
What EXACTLY do you mean by "audits" and how would an "audit" be different from a complete recount? The J6 Committee hasn't arrested Trump b/c it does not have the power to do so. Arresting and charging Trump is a decision that must be made by the Department of Justice which does not answer to Congress. The DoJ is part of the Executive Branch, so answers to the President. But, unlike Trump, Biden has not tried to tell the DoJ what to do b/c Biden thinks that in matters such as this (which have huge POLITICAL implications) the Department of Justice needs to act independent of any political pressure from the President. Merrick Garland, the Attorney General and head of the DOJ is an extremely cautious individual. He will not arrest Trump unless and until he is 99.999% personally convinced of Trump's guilt and 99.999% sure of his department's ability to make criminal charges stick against Trump.
You really should study issues more deeply... at least understand issues to the point where you can stop using the generic "they" when complaining about something that you think "they" need to do or not do.

These hearings are a real eye- opener........for those saying it is not important, it surely is.....because this is how we, indirectly, got to be where we are, controlled by the campaign donors, lobbyists, business oligarchs, military contractors, who have to keep their men in power, no matter what.........which gives us all the unintended effects, like trade wars, sanctions, inflation, shortages, conflicts etc....
How did a failed businessman failed movie star failed socialite failed husband failed father someone with little education ever be thought of to hold an office of government in the first place
Have to give him credit, he's a pretty successful grifter and con man.
Family money
Trump became president because yall have taken your eyes off the ball and don't follow the divide in the country. Nora O'Donnell and Gail King are finally understanding what is rumbling underneath. Elections are just the manifestation. When the Democrats treat the the people of a country as a people to be overpowered and controlled, there is no hope for a future. The U.S. was energy independent. It produced more oil than any other country in the world, yet Pres. Biden goes to Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to beg for oil. The big hoax was the big lie that was perpetrated for decades that the U.S. has no gas or oil. Texas is rich in both. Biden hates Texas and is strangling it in every way. How is that going to work out when gasoline prices reach $10. Look what the Democrats are doing with Ukraine: giving the country enough ground munitions to fight, not enough to win, just enough munitions to allow Russia to continue gaining control. Lester Holt on NBC Nightly News, which has always favored Democrats sees what Biden is doing and reports on it now. It's all obvious as to how Trump became president, but only if one's eyes are open to a painful reality.
I doubt that SCOTUS would disagree 9-0, it would be 8-1 because we know which one is crazy enough to agree with it.
I am so impressed with this thorough committee presentation. So important and they are nailing it eh.
Can you imagine what it would be like if those originally named by McCarthy were doing this?
Indiana Rep Jim Banks:
Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis;
Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan;
Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota;
and Texas Rep. Troy Nehls.

This Judge would NEVER have Ever needed to speak a single one of those words to this committee.... IF... we just abolished the Electoral College.

Yeah. Great idea . Abolish the electoral college so that only California and New York determine who the president is. How do you explain how less sparsely populated states like Montana or Mississippi ever get representation? You do realize what a republic is, don't you? Or of that little thing called "states rights"? What as horrible idea.
JANUARY 6 ! A GOP MOB TRIED TO REPLACE AMERICAN FLAG WITH TRUMP FLAG
I appreciate Judge Luttig very much, ALSO I was hanging on his every word and thus losing consciousness.
😅😅😅😅
Slowest talker eva☠️
I have the video on 2x speed, and it STILL took a year to get through his first answer! What made it worse was that his first answer was just a VERY slow rephrasing of Rep. Cheney's question!! I suspect they made him a judgs to prevent him from being a trial lawyer ever again! His poor opposing counsel probably just begged for a plea deal rather than listen to his opening and closing arguments! 🤣 I'm glad he's on the right side of history, and I'm sure he's a very deliberating judge, but sheesh!
Best description 🤣 😂
😝😜😳😀
Trump needs to be immediately arrested and the key thrown away.
Pence should probably run for POTUS. I’m still not going to vote for him but he could probably win after the nation sees this. At least we know he will do the right thing when it counts, unlike De’Santis, he is just another Trump.
David, you have been swindled. These people are all liars, and they know it. To save their own necks, they have to play the part and see it through to the end.
NO. No more republicans in office...they cannot be trusted with such a fragile element as American democracy; they've shown us as much.
Mike Pence "did the right thing" because he had no other choice, but he flinched, as in he had to find out from someone else, that he couldn't overturn the elections singlehandedly.
But DO NOT think, for one minute that if he had been able to do it...he wouldn't have gladly done it.
Haha! He is not another trump!
people like you are what's wrong with the U.S.A
Mike Pence had the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing so the democratic process could be carried out, and he doesn’t get enough credit for that...
Also, Hon Luttig almost put me to sleep lol
Absolutely!
@@bansheewv89 I hope you listened to him carefully though. He spoke with intent and had some extremely insightful and important things to say.
its the only credit ill give him. he did a lot of other damage to this country.
"INTESTINAL FORTITUDE'?? The man was running for his life and had nothing else than intestinal softitude in his flight. Had he had any chance to get away with treason he would have done it, as he did every step of the way in his four-year miserable vice-presidency. George Will called him the ultimate sycophant. Right On! He won't testify against the man who wanted him hanging because there might still be a chance of reprieve in the Trumpist hierarchy.
This is the most chilling evidence presented at a hearing, specially the final words of Judge luddig regarding the serious dangers that still exists in the 2024 elections, to our constitutional democracy which is the bedrock of how America came to exist and without which this country will fall apart just as it was formed by our forefathers.
Is it the only evidence showing corruption. In any conflict argument will exist truth or not. We the People have to make a choice. Why the government have the choice for the procedure. especially electronic machine. Can we the people use the paper form. Since everyday electronic crime are committed in secrecy
We are not a Consitutional Democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic.
So if the VP can decertify the results at the end of one term, he can decertify the results at the end of the second term, which means he can decertify the results at the end of the third term, which means he can… yada yada yada…
Yep..stay in office forever like Russia and China
Exactly Trump’s likely plan.
It is very sad that not every American in this country wants to see justice take its course and investigate and punish the lawbreakers on January 6th.
One conclusion from the 3rd January 6th hearing is that Mike Pence is a hero of American democracy.
I agree
I'm a little startled by the heroic position Mr. Pence is put in by some commentators.
This was the very least he needed to do, his Basic constitutional duty. He, among many of the former staff testifying here, did a great deal to get Trump where he was, supported him through all his lies and scandals, helped spreading the toxic narratives that made Americas once great democracy so fragile and broken.
Only when the beast they unleashed turned to be dangerous to themselves they felt the need to act / distance themselves.
These people are No heroes. They are rats leaving a sinking ship.
Trump wasn't asking Pence to declare Trump POTUS but what Trump was asking is that the Election not be certified until the overwhelming evidence of voter fraud had been legally reviewed by independent review to determine if the results would have been the same anyway. Get it straight and your facts straight also.
Fool 😳😳🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🙄🙄🙄🙄
I don’t think we as Americans took this situation serious enough. But honestly, we don’t take much seriously. Trump should be jailed. If not, we are truly a sad country
I agree, I can only hope that this brings us all back to brushing up on civics 101 and more.
Hoping ‘Dr. Eastman’ get indicted-these high flying lawyers need to be re-acquainted with how the law actually works. Start the seize of the traitors and ‘lock them up’.
I didn't say any of those things
These people are heroes. Standing up to preserve our democracy and the Constitution.
SAYING NOTHING PUBLICALLY UNTIL BEING COMPELLED TO DO SO IS NOT HEROIC... YOU FOOL

Anyway, clearly he is extremely intelligent. I think people who are against these hearings will probably make fun of him rather than pay attention to his very important words. That's my experience with a lot of trump followers. I enjoyed his testimony because it was very impactful.
