But sure, go with the unsupported, outrageous story if it fits your assumptions.
That is why this committee will not accomplish what they imagine they will accomplish.
And we have only your assumption the testimony was credible at all.

Agreed. I don't watch the hearings but I do read about them. Her testimony has hurt the Committee.Rawhide said:
She's about as credible as Christine Blasey-Ford.
However, to me these are petty things about his temper tantrum's. Harry Truman had them too. LBJ was a walking *******.
Nevertheless my friends on the right, Trump DID in fact encourage the Jan 6 insurrection. That alone is enough to never forgive the *******.
If it leads to incriminating evidence against Trump, that evidence should certainly be considered.He Hate Me said:Sam Lowry said:It's not about the administration per se. It's about what laws are appropriate and how effective they are. And I would think a threat to our system of government should be a concern either way, but obviously that's just me.He Hate Me said:Sam Lowry said:What does that have to do with anything? You do realize Trump and Pence weren't exactly on the same page.RMF5630 said:Sam Lowry said:The problem is that Trump acted in a way that foreseeably led to violence. How does Pence certifying make that okay?RMF5630 said:Sam Lowry said:They thought it. That's how it was a coup, albeit unsuccessful.RMF5630 said:Sam Lowry said:Well, it was that and then also the fact there was this coup a little while later. Tends to raise suspicions.RMF5630 said: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.Sam Lowry said:Magnetometers. He wanted them to stop confiscating the weapons.RMF5630 said: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.Sam Lowry said:
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.
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.
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?
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...
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!
Who cares? You said J6 hearings are not about Trump per se. We must be concerned that the current administration is a threat to our system of government. That would be oversight.
It is just you because you are the only one who thinks J6 committee is not about "getting Trump."

Just give this one up, Sam, it was a dumb lie that didn't last a day before being called out.

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!
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.

The most important part of the story is half of it is made up.. fiction is fiction even with a basis in truthQuote:
As then-President Donald Trump left a rally with his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, he appears to have held out hope until the last minute -- even as chaos unfolded -- that he'd be able to join them at the Capitol.
Trump even raised the prospect privately with the head of his Secret Service detail at the time, Robert Engel, according to a person familiar with the agent's congressional testimony. Engel rode with Trump in the presidential armored car called "The Beast" back to the White House after the Ellipse rally that preceded that day's violent riot.
Engel told Jan. 6 select committee investigators that the two men discussed Trump's desire to go to the Capitol and took different views on the topic. Engel noted that they went back to the White House instead of heading to Capitol Hill. The contents of Engel's testimony have not been previously reported. Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi declined to comment.
The testimony shows just how much Trump wanted to be at the Capitol with his backers as Congress voted to certify his Electoral College loss to Joe Biden. And he expressed his desire to join the protesters even as violence was unfolding.

Reported from your window on the NeverTrumper Crazy Train.
These links are news reports that the SS agents "are prepared to testify". That is hearsay. When they do under oath it is no longer hearsay.Oldbear83 said:"driver prepared to testify that Trump didn't grab steering wheel"Sam Lowry said:You assume the driver has already said that. You don't know.Oldbear83 said:Believe what you want, since the driver has already said that just did not happen.Sam Lowry said:Yeah, but there's a picture that's claimed to show otherwise. The reason for the discrepancy isn't clear without the agents' testimony. I don't know that it would be prohibitively difficult for Trump to move 18 feet, especially as enraged as he seems to have been.Oldbear83 said:Nope. She even referred to it as "The Beast", which is Secret Service jargon for the big limo.Sam Lowry said:I think they were in an SUV.Oldbear83 said:
Has anyone stopped to consider how difficult it would be for the President, sitting in the back of the 18-foot limousine, to even reach the steering wheel if he tried?
But sure, go with the unsupported, outrageous story if it fits your assumptions.
That is why this committee will not accomplish what they imagine they will accomplish.
And we have only your assumption the testimony was credible at all.

I would assess that SS is not going to allow those agents to testify, as part of a wise and long-standing policy of keeping the SS out of partisan politics. And the folks on the committee know that. So they put up outlandish and easily refutable hearsay evidence knowing that there will not likely be direct refutation forthcoming. Only now they see it's not only not having any impact, it's threatening to blow up in their faces.
Time to step away from the shovel, buddy. I mean, seriously, this is the jump-the-shark moment for the never-Trump movement. If you don't step back now, the vortex will completely consume you. It's all contrivance, all the time from here on down. It'd be one thing if you're winning, but you're going backwards.
Since such testimony would debunk their story, zero chance the committee allows their testimony, just as they have filtered out all evidence in Trump's defense.Osodecentx said:These links are news reports that the SS agents "are prepared to testify".
