The question at 0:54 and the President’s response is a historically significant moment for the nation. Today and many years from now, this will be used to explain the role of the #FourthEstate in governance. #journalism

@davidfrum It’s a game show with a carnival barker on the midway.

Cheney: Donald Trump Jr. texted Mark Meadows on Jan. 6: “He’s got to condemn this ASAP. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough.” Don Jr. later said, “We need an oval office address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far. And gotten out of hand.” SO, CULPABILITY 😒

As it’s been observed, to implore #tfg to *do something* and call off the #j6 #insurrection …the clear implication is that 45 put it all together and SUPERVISED it. Damning stuff.

@navyjagpog @GeorgeCroner @steve_vladeck Neither did Gen George Washington’s troops. (He required it of them). Somehow, in this “Age of Entitlement,” people have lost their way toward civic duty, demanding rights w/o responsibilities.

[January 6th Committee @January6thCmte]

The witnesses we subpoenaed apparently worked to stage the rallies on January 5th and 6th, and some had direct communication with the former President regarding the rally at the Ellipse directly preceding the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

@ZcohenCNN @ryanobles @AnnieGrayerCNN “Direct link” is the same language used by the appeals court too. Time for some “direct prosecution,” now?? #DirectLink to 45

[Michael Orton @MichaelOrton]

They planned a #coup . Here’s the evidence.

Latest: Trump White House chief Mark Meadows turned over to Jan. 6 committee an email that referred to a PowerPoint calling for Trump to declare a NatSec emergency and have VP Pence delay Biden’s certification

[Michael Orton @MichaelOrton]

@ryanobles @AnnieGrayerCNN @ZcohenCNN The credibility of the Democratic Party may be at stake then.

BREAKING: Federal appeals court rules against former President Trump in his effort to block his White House records from being released to House January 6 investigators. HE IS GOING TO LOSE HIS WIG.

@catmck Nah. Someone just having fun.

No words necessary

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

Jan. 6 committee tells @MarkMeadows to show up for his deposition tomorrow or they’ll have “no choice” but to refer him to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.

[Michael Orton @MichaelOrton]

@NHlobstah We think someone was having fun. 😏
