I'm not sure what you mean by third party. Understand, for example, that it's not hearsay if a witness hears Trump order the SS to get rid of the mags. That's first-hand testimony.
Didn't Trump tell the SS to confiscate weapons before letting them in and he wasn't concerned for his safety? Where is the illegal part? Telling them to get rid of the mags is illegal how? I am missing the point of this blockbuster testimony. Where does he say take away the mags so the weapons will be used to storm Congress and overthrow the Govt?? I am missing that. It was his rally.
If they wanted to arrest people with weapons why didn't law enforcement. What are the gun laws in DC? Did they have conceal & carry licenses. Still not seeing the conspiracy to overthrow the Govt.
Magnetometers. He wanted them to stop confiscating the weapons.
What I don't see is how his asking to remove the mags is illegal. The jump from he wants a bigger crowd for his ego becomes a coup to overthrow the Govt.
Well, it was that and then also the fact there was this coup a little while later. Tends to raise suspicions.
Coup? And just how were they going to take control of the Government? How were they going to do anything more than frighten Congress? Seriously, how was this a coup? You really think anything beyond the initial hour was going to hold or change?
They thought it. That's how it was a coup, albeit unsuccessful.
How many were arrested? 700+? So where is the problem? Oh, that Trump was behind it? That he acted to noncommittal that Congress had to hide?
I am still struggling with the criminal issues for the Trump Administration. Pence certified, right? No one was pardoned, right? Trump left, right? Where is the act that is warranting this sideshow? Italian food may have a case...
The problem is that Trump acted in a way that foreseeably led to violence. How does Pence certifying make that okay?
This is about Trumps attempted coup and attack on American Deocracy. Yet, his Administration did everything required at the time it was required. Every thing went forward on time.
Pence was Trump's VP. The Trump Adiministration is a reflection on Trump, for BETTER and worse. You can't just say his Admin did something bad, it was Trump. Than when they do what they are supposed to say Trump.gets no credit. Regardless of what Trump said or how many spaghetti lunches he threw, his Admin met their Constitutional responsibilities on schedule. You totally disregard what they actually did in favor of rhetoric!
What does that have to do with anything? You do realize Trump and Pence weren't exactly on the same page.
Pence answers to Trump. Remember, "The Buck Stops Here"? No matter how much they disagreed, what did Trump's VP do as President of Senate?
Chalk it up to Pence saving Trump from a bad decision. Chalk it up to there are alot of bad ideas that never are implemented. Maybe, it was theater to protect Trumps base. Who knows. It does not matter. They met their Constitutional responsibility and power changed hands. There can be no coup led by Trump because his Admin did what they were supposed to on schedule. Biden is President. There was no coup, just a bunch of whack jobs that went too far demonstrating and they were arrested.
I can even make a strong argument based on Trumps handling of 2020 riots and messages that if he were allowed to go to Congress he would have de-escalated the situation. Probably the only one that could.
