WaPo: "Shortly after the riot, Jones said on Infowars that he was invited by the White House on about Jan. 3 to “lead the march” to the Capitol, and that he paid nearly $500,000, mostly donated, to help organize the event on the Ellipse."

1/ One year ago, nearly every Democratic Senator said it's not a trial without witnesses. Here is a thread of nearly every Senator expressing some form of this sentiment.

@AaronBlake

2/ @AaronBlake laid out 7 types of witnesses that could shed more light "on an important event in our nation’s history — including Trump’s culpability for it." Capitol rioters themselves, Trump aides , Brad Raffensperger, Dustin Stockton, Mark Meadows, and Trump himself.

@renato_mariotti

3/ @renato_mariotti presented a strong case that "to change the dynamic of the trial, House Managers will need to call witnesses." politico.com/news/magazine/…

Remember this- a year ago 49 Senators said it's not even a trial if you don't have witnesses. What about this time, when they have the majority?

1) House impeachment managers plan to use video evidence substantially in next week's trial.
nytimes.com/2021/02/07/us/…

2) I predict not all of the video will be from January 6th. While it reached a fevered pitch on January 6th and the days after the election, Trump’s false claims started long before. He was explicit about the "stolen election" narrative from last summer.

@rgoodlaw

3) @rgoodlaw and I analyzed dozens of hours of Parler videos of the events of January 6th at the US Capitol. They reveal the psychology of the crowd, and how its violent behavior was a direct result Trump’s rhetoric. justsecurity.org/74335/fight-fo…

@rgoodlaw

In reviewing video from January 6th, a propaganda reel that played just before Trump came on stage at the rally on the Ellipse stood out. I helped @rgoodlaw and @jasonintrator pull the frames to review closely. Jason, an expert on fascism, produced this: justsecurity.org/74504/movie-at…

This video has been used before in prior campaign events in 2020. But its use on this day stands out because of the severity of the message. The first frames focus "our attention on this supposedly 'globalist,' but really Jewish, threat," as Jason writes.

"The next clip lingers on Joe Biden, with a vacant stare in his eyes and the video footage slowed, while Trump’s inauguration speech plays, 'For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government, while the people have borne the cost.'"

So many terrifying moments depicted in the videos the January 6th Parler dataset. Struck in particular by the invective in this one against @senatemajldr McConnell- in addition to Nancy Pelosi- in this scene, where insurrectionists are attempting push past police in riot gear.
