From the hearing of 7/21/22
Trump put Pence in further peril.
One unnamed witness described radio communication with the Secret Service detail for Vice President Mike Pence while the Capitol was under siege. The witness revealed that the officers were "starting to fear for their own lives" and that their radio messages were "disturbing. There were calls to say goodbye to family members." The mob clearly was targeting Pence. It was at that moment Trump chose to pour gasoline on the fire with his 2:24 p.m. tweet claiming that Pence "didn't have the courage" to halt the vote count. The juxtaposition of the testimony with Trump's tweet was appalling.
Former national security official Matt Pottinger testified that he was so disturbed by the tweet that he decided then to resign. As he explained, it was "the opposite of what we really needed at that moment, which was a de-escalation. Former deputy White House press secretary Sarah Matthews also testified that Trump's tweet was "giving the green light" to the rioters. She added, "I've seen the impact his words have on his supporters." Because she viewed the message as "indefensible," she quit that night.
What was Trump doing while Pence was in peril? Calling senators to try to delay the vote. However one describes it, it's clear Trump wanted the violence to continue.

So, this us incorrect?
According to the Electoral Count Act of 1887, members of Congress may object to statewide election results or specific electoral votes in a particular state or the District of Columbia.
Specifically, during the session one member of the U.S. House and one member of the U.S. Senate must submit a written objection after the body reads the vote count from a particular state or D.C.
Once a House member and Senator submit an objection, the two chambers of Congress separate to debate for two hours and to vote on whether to continue counting the votes in light of the objection. Both chambers must vote by a simple majority to concur with the objection for it to stand, otherwise the objection fails.
If both chambers of Congress affirm the objection and the objection results in no one candidate receiving the necessary 270-vote Electoral College majority, the 12th Amendment dictates a congressional process for selecting a president and vice president. The House of Representatives votes to elect the new president. As a bloc, members of the House cast one vote per state, choosing between the three candidates who received the most Electoral College votes. The Senate votes to elect the Vice President, casting one vote per senator.
THIS IS FICTION??? Come on, give me the it is correct, but... line. Its coming, "but, we know Trump was really mad..." but, we feel Trump disliked spaghetii..." "but, its Trump. It must be illegal..."
How about, it never happened??? Pence certified and Trump turned over power... Nah, can't go with that.
Funny, I am not a Trump fan. I thought he Administration had sound policies and brought very important points to the public for debate on immigration, NATO, North Korea, and China. I think he is an ******* and one of my least favorite people. Yet, as this fiasco goes on, I am even more convinced he did nothing illegal and was actually a victim of the media and the "RESIST" movement. The more Liz does this witch hunt, The more I sympothize with Trump, who I really disslike. I grew up in NY, I remember the Studio 54 days, the USFL, Atlantic City.

Were you okay with the violent overthrow of our government for a lie?
Are you okay with Secret Service agents calling their families to tell them goodbye because they thought they would die?

Overthrow our govt? Go sit down while the adults talk.. we got alot to cover starting with the white house protests in may of 2020 that required Trump to shelter in a bunker. Crickets on that one.. then we can talk about the leader of the Jan 6th committee actively endorsed the storming of the Wisc state capital and called it democracy in action. Lastly we gonna talk about how the govt isnt a building and its impossible to for 800 people with 2 hand guns to take over a govt.. if you believe they could then it makes sense why you think Democracy is in danger

Trump was never under any serious threat. You want me to believe a handful of protesters outside the White House is somehow equivalent to thousands ransacking the capitol? Really?
And you've never answered the question: How can you support Trump doing NOTHING for HOURS while Capitol Police were beaten and Mike Pence's life was in danger?
You haven't answered it because you don't have one. You can't honestly face that question because it reveals the depraved sociopathic maniac Donald Trump is.

Find me a credible candidate who will run on the same policies and I will go with that man or woman. But DeSantis says right now he's not running, and no real conservative will settle for another Bush or a RINO like Romney. So for now the serious front-runner is Trump.
The Donks know this of course, which is why they try so much to demonize him. As for Sam and Oso, I think their obsession has driven them out of sound judgment into Schiffworld delusion.
We can whine all we want, but in the end someone is going to sit at that desk, and what matters most is what they do as POTUS. The economy matters. So does foreign policy. So does border security.

Find me a credible candidate who will run on the same policies and I will go with that man or woman. But DeSantis says right now he's not running, and no real conservative will settle for another Bush or a RINO like Romney. So for now the serious front-runner is Trump.
The Donks know this of course, which is why they try so much to demonize him. As for Sam and Oso, I think their obsession has driven them out of sound judgment into Schiffworld delusion.
Let's talk about that. What did the military do? You act like Trump was under his desk with his thumb in his mouth. What really was done? Not a call and a status report. What was done? I am sick of this speculation crap, talk actions what was actually done.J.B.Katz said:
I wonder why there wasn't more of a discussion about the fact that Mike Pence effectively functioned as president for part of Jan. 6 and that the military brass called HIM.
Do ANY of you hold Trump responsible for trying to put Pence in the line of fire, or do you think this was justified as Trump floundered around like a whale stuck in the shallows trying to hold onto power after he lost the eleciton?

A White House security official who was monitoring the traffic told the committee that agents were "starting to fear for their own lives."
"There were calls to say goodbye to family members, so on and so forth," the security official said in audiotaped testimony. "For whatever the reason was on the ground, the VP detail thought that this was about to get very ugly."
The communications of Pence's Secret Service agents were among the most remarkable revelations of Thursday's hearing. The committee featured snippets of radio traffic, a series of messages exchanged by security officials monitoring the traffic from the White House, and testimony from one of those officials.
On July 21 the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack outlined a detailed account of President Trump's defiant inaction during the riot.
Although the committee did not share which office the anonymous witness worked for, a very small group of individuals would have had access to such radio traffic. Secret Service staff in an emergency operations center monitor those communications. But it's also likely that employees in the White House Situation Room could have tuned in to the radio traffic, because the Capitol was under attack and their job is to monitor threats to the country's security.
Rep. Elaine Luria (D-Va.), who co-chaired Thursday's hearing, said the official's name was being withheld out of concern that his testimony could draw retaliation.
The witness said he could tell the danger that Pence and Secret Service agents were in because some agents were yelling and screaming, and some sent "very personal" messages to have colleagues tell their families goodbye for them.
"It sounds like that we came very close to either, service having to use lethal options, or worse," the official said. "At that point, I don't know. Is the VP compromised? Is the detail? I don't know. ... If they're screaming and saying things like, 'say goodbye to the family,' like the floor needs to know this is going to a whole 'nother level soon."
"The floor" could be a reference to the main office space of the National Security Council.
Indeed, less than a minute after Pence was rushed off the Senate floor to his hideaway just 100 feet away, the rioters some of whom had earlier been chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" breached the second floor of the Capitol, coming within spitting range of where the vice president was huddled with a small group of aides and family members.

Pence Is Right: Donald Trump IS Wrong about January 6
The Eastman memo has provided greater context to Trump's insistence that Pence had discretion to discount electoral votes. Trump lauded Eastman on January 6 and stated that if Pence "does the right thing," he would win the election. The memo referenced John Adams and Thomas Jefferson as evidence that vice presidents have discretion to count votes, but failed to acknowledge 1) that both used their discretion to allow substance to prevail over technicalities, and 2) that both were acting prior to the passage of the 12th amendment which has clear language detailing the vice president's passive role in counting electoral votes during the joint session.

Expose Eastman's 'Bold' Plan for the Coup Attempt It Was
Details of the plan appear to have been corroborated by former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig, who tweeted that he "was honored to advise Vice President Pence that he had no choice on January 6, 2021, but to accept and count the Electoral College votes as they had been cast and properly certified by the states" and that he "believe[d] that Professor Eastman was incorrect at every turn of the analysis in his January 2 memorandum." In his memo, Eastman acknowledged that his plan was "BOLD, Certainly," but that they were "no longer playing by Queensbury rules."

Jan. 6 panel: John Eastman acknowledged overturning vote could spark violence
John Eastman, the conservative lawyer behind President Trump's calls for Vice President Pence to reject the 2020 presidential electoral vote count, acknowledged that doing so could spark violence.
In a recorded deposition revealed Thursday, former Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann told the committee he told Mr. Eastman that his plan to overturn the election would "cause riots in the streets."
He said Mr. Eastman told him in response that violence would be tolerable in the interest of "democracy."
"And he said words to the effect of, 'There's been violence in the history of our country in order to protect the democracy, or to protect the republic,'" Mr. Herschmann said.
