Anyone want to ask @Liz_Cheney where she gets 187 minutes before Trump said anything?
First breach of building at 2:13p.m.--Trump's first tweet at 2:38:
"Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!"
Trump tweet at 3:13pm (half hour after Capitol cop executed unarmed Ashli Babbitt):
"I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!"
At 4:17pm, Trump posts a video message on Twitter:
"We have to have peace. We have to have law and order."
Now, I know everyone will be SHOCKED to find out Liz Cheney is a boldfaced liar. When does her "187 minutes" clock begin? When the joint session began? When the "pipe bombs" were found? (Still no suspect btw)
Cheney does not include time stamps in her reading of texts but this is notable:
Laura Ingraham: ''Hey Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home...this is hurting all of us...he is destroying his legacy.''
No one was inside until 2:15 at the earliest.
Yes some trouble-makers and police were getting into it outside before 2:13. Cops had been attacking people with explosives, tear gas for about an hour by then and dozens of alleged Proud Boys breached the outside barriers. Trump was supposed to tell people to leave...outside?

Sentencing up now for Brandon and Stephanie Miller, an Ohio couple pleading guilty to "parading" in the Capitol on January 6. They were in the building for about ten minutes. Judge Chutkan presiding:
DOJ wants 2 months home detention, 36 months probation, 60 hours community service, $500
restitution, $10 special assessment for Stephanie Miller and 3 months home detention, 36 months probation, 60 hours community service, $500 restitution and $10 assessment for Brandon.
Class B misdemeanor with max 6 months in jail and $5k fine. Chutkan, an Obama appointee, has defied DOJ sentencing recommendations a few times and imposed jail time instead of home detention for J6 "paraders."
The more you see how every government institution—from Congress to federal courts—in DC are weaponizing the four-hour disturbance at the Capitol to crush Trump allies and voters, the more you must believe that January 6 was an inside job.
You think this was some organic gift…
to the Biden regime and Democrats? That they just got together a few days afterwards and said, “hey, we can use the furry shaman and Indiana meemaws to unleash a legal and media terror campaign against Trumpists?”
C’mon, man.
FBI, natsec, Schiff and company already proved…
they will use every tool available, including secret courts and special counsels, to destroy Trump. It’s just a coincidence it only took 4 years btw the FBI ambushing Mike Flynn in the White House to ambushing Florida pastors in their own homes?
Hearing up now for Daniel Rodriguez, the man charged with tasering Michael Fanone. Rodriguez attorney filed motion to suppress all statements from his March FBI interview. My thread on this from last week:
Now status hearing up for Timothy Hale-Cusanelli. He is charged with no violent crime related to January 6, has been detained since January 15, held behind bars in DC Gulag since February.
DOJ says all discovery in his case has produced all discovery to Hale's legal team.
After promising not to delay his November 2021 trial date, Judge McFadden pushed his trial until late May 2022.
Hale's lawyer, like many defense lawyers, once again telling court his client has trouble viewing the evidence against him.
McFadden, after forgetting Hale is...
in the DC jail, where McFadden has ordered him detained under pre-trial detention orders for the past several months, claims there's a solid arrangement at the jail to view discovery evidence.
Hale now disputing it...difficulty accessing laptops to look at video evidence.
