“We now have the evidence to support a story of the worst presidential political crime against the union in American history.” Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin @January6thCmte @jamie_raskin #January6th
Laurence Tribe describes what “is being bandied about as the technique that they hope to use if they get Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and Alito and Thomas on board… to take the next election regardless of who wins.”

@tribelaw @JoyAnnReid @thereidout #TheReidOut
“In America, you have the right to seek the truth and speak the truth, even if it makes people in power uncomfortable… If Russian journalists [had such freedom] would they use it in the same way? Ask yourself that question every day.”
@Trevornoah #WHCD

“Fox News, I’m really sorry your preferred candidate lost the last election. To make it up to you, I’m happy to give my Chief of Staff to you all so he can tell Sean Hannity what to say everyday,” President Joe Biden jokes at #WHCD.

“69% of people across this country — across this country, red states and blue states, old people and young people — want #RoeVsWade to maintain as the law of the land… We have a right. Extremists? We’ve heard enough from extremists.”

“How dare they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body. HOW DARE THEY. How dare they try to stop her from determining her own future.”

@VP @KamalaHarris @emilyslist #RoeVsWade
“Roe vs Wade is an important precedent of the Supreme Court.”
Samuel Alito confirmation hearing 2006 #RoeVWade

“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.”
Justice Alito 2022

Justices Barrett, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas testifying under oath:
“They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own… No neonatal care, no day care, no Head Start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool…”
George Carlin

“So go, be unafraid. We will not be delayed. We will not be masquerade to the tale of a handmaid. We will not let Roe v. Wade slowly fade, because when we show up today, we’re already standing up with the tomorrow we made.”
Amanda Gorman (@TheAmandaGorman)
“There's incredible pressure on you all to deliver heat instead of shed light, because the technology is changing so much. The system is changing. But it matters… The truth matters. American democracy is not a reality show.”
@JoeBiden #WHCADinner 4/30/22

A 60-page GOP INTERNAL USE ONLY memo has intentionally misleading talking points that portray immigrants as criminals AND accuse Democrats of “seeking to abolish all immigration enforcement” — so Fox ‘News’ can mislead its viewers.
@davidcicilline explains:
“[GOP ‘Rescue America’ 11-Point Plan] would raise taxes on half of Americans and sunset programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Why would you propose something like that in an election year?”
Fox ‘News’ to Rick Scott #itsINtheplan @StrikePac
“The only answer is at the ballot box, to elect people who will stand up for every American’s rights… Once you allow this kind of extreme power to take hold, you have no idea who they will come for next.”
@HillaryClinton @NorahODonnell #RoeVWade #WHPA

Chris Matthews: Do you believe in punishment for abortion?
Donald Trump: There has to be some form of punishment.
CM: For the woman?
Trump: Yeah. There has to be some form.

Do all Trump-endorsed politicians believe in punishing women??

“There's a good argument that Judge Luttig by not being on the Supreme Court did more for our democracy than most any sitting Supreme Court Justice or past one.”
@neal_katyal (to @chrislhayes) on the judge who counseled Mike Pence against ending democracy

“We are in greater danger today than we were on January 6th. The reaction has been just the opposite of what it ought to have been… We have a continued war going on now over America—over its institutions of democracy.”
Judge Luttig to @BillKristol 5/12/22

“There ARE rules, and they do apply to almost every judge in this country, that say that if your spouse has an interest in the case, you need to recuse — [but not on] Supreme Court because it holds itself above the ethics code.”
@JaneMayerNYer #GinniThomas
Query: Do you think Clarence Thomas should resign?

@SpeakerPelosi: I don't think he ever should've been appointed… If your wife is an admitted and proud contributor to a coup of our country, maybe you should weigh that in your ethical standards.

How can Republican Senators listen to the words of Amerie Jo Garza’s father Angel and do nothing?
“How is it that an 18-year-old can buy an AR-15-style rifle and 1600 rounds of ammo, like we saw in Uvalde? … Should an 18-year-old have an AR-15? … You can’t buy a beer [or cigarettes] when you’re 18.”
@Acosta to NRA Board Member Judge Phillip Journey

It was easier for a 13-year-old boy to buy a rifle from a private seller at a gun show than to buy beer, cigarettes, porn, and lottery tickets. (🎥:#RealSports 2014)

Gun show loopholes still exist.

#January6thCommitteeHearings:
After the Capitol was breached on #January6th, Trump tweeted at 2:24pm — “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution” — which prompted “Hang Mike Pence!” chants by the insurrectionists.

“[Trump told WH staff that his] supporters at the Capitol ‘were doing what they should be doing’…Aware of the rioters’ chants to hang Mike Pence, [Trump] responded with this sentiment: ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea.’ Mike Pence ‘deserves it.’”

Donald Trump knew that he lost the 2020 election and he “oversaw and coordinated a sophisticated 7-part plan to overturn the presidential election and prevent the peaceful transfer of presidential power.”
#January6Hearings Day 2 (6/13/22) recap:

The Big Lie was The Big Ripoff: Trump used FALSE claims of election fraud to raise $250 million for a post-election “defense fund” that did not legally exist. The money went to his hotels and his Save America PAC.

“Trump campaign used FALSE claims of election fraud to raise $250 MILLION DOLLARS from supporters who were told their donations were for the legal fight in the courts. But the Trump campaign didn’t use the money for that. #TheBigLie was also #TheBigRipoff.”

Trump plotted with lawyer John Eastman to pressure Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election. What Trump wanted the VP to do was unconstitutional and it led to the violent attack on The Capitol.
“40 feet. That’s all there was. 40 feet between the VP and the mob.”

The Proud Boys would have killed then-VP Pence, Speaker Pelosi, and other lawmakers if given the chance on #January6th, an FBI confidential informant said.

#January6thCommitteeHearings:
“90+ recruits were hand-picked from thousands [nationwide]… Identifying Proud Boys in the crowd reshaped my personal perception of #January6th. As #January6thCommitteeHearings continue, understanding their role is more important than ever.”@_stella_cooper
“We tracked these Proud Boys through #January6th and found they were essential not to only one breach, but to FIVE… Tactics we saw Proud Boys repeat: Instigating efforts to get inside the Capitol building and disrupt the certification of election results.”
“This is not what tours look like. These are not places you take tours…THAT IS NOT THE ONLY GROUP THAT I SAW [Jan 5]…
The constantly shifting narrative [of Reps] Loudermilk and Davis…calls into question their dedication to our common oath.”@RepSherrill
“What these emails [between Ginni Thomas and John Eastman] confirmed is that Thomas's efforts to overturn results of the election and her involvement in some of these schemes are wider than previously known.”
@JaxAlemany @NicolleDWallace #TrumpCoupAttempt

“Ginni Thomas could clear up any misconception about why John Eastman would bring up a ‘heated fight’ among the Supreme Court Justices about whether they should hear arguments in Trump’s election lawsuits.”
@KatiePhang #TrumpCoupAttempt #January6thHearings
“There’s another big investigative gap in this space, and it’s the Supreme Court being unwilling to look at its own problems, as regards Justice Thomas.”
@SenWhitehouse re: Ginni Thomas emails to John Eastman

@Lawrence #GinniThomas:
John Eastman is STILL attacking our democracy.

#TrumpCoupAttempt #January6thCommitteeHearings
@lawindsor #JohnEastman🧵:
“I think what [@January6thCmte is] presenting before the American people certainly would rise to a level of criminal involvement by a president, and definitely failure of the oath. The oath HAS to matter here.”
@AdamKinzinger on the need to prosecute Trump
“If what I just described is not levying war against the United States — against the democratic process — what is?”
@glennkirschner2 gives @KatiePhang 5 reasons why he believes Donald Trump should be prosecuted

#TrumpCoupAttempt:
Just 3 minutes after President* Trump’s #January6th tweet at 2:24pm about Mike Pence lacking “courage,” a mob of his supporters quickly filled the Capitol.

#TrumpCoupAttempt #January6thCommitteeHearings

“Dr. Eastman and President* Trump launched a campaign to overturn a democratic election, an action unprecedented in American history. Their campaign was…a coup in search of a legal theory.”
Judge David Carter 3/28/22

#TrumpCoupAttempt #January6thHearings:
“I've lost my name [and] sense of security—all because a group of people…scapegoat[ed] me and my daughter Shaye, to push their lies about how the Presidential election was stolen.”
Ruby Freeman, former Georgia election worker
#LadyRuby #January6thHearings:
“The point is this: Donald Trump did not care about the threats of violence. He did not condemn them. He made no effort to stop them… We cannot let America become a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence.”@Liz_Cheney

#January6thCommitteeHearings:
“There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere. Do you know how it feels to have the President of the United States to target you? The President ofthe United States is supposed to represent EVERY American. Not to target one. He targeted me.”
Ruby Freeman #LadyRuby
Fourth #January6thHearings (6/21/22) — 3-minute recap:

Trump pressured local and state level officials to throw out 2020 presidential election results. When these public servants wouldn’t abide Trump’s scheme, he worked to ensure they’d face consequences.
“If the most powerful person in the world can bring the full weight of the presidency down on an ordinary citizen who was merely doing her job with a lie as big and as heavy as a mountain, who among us is safe? None of us is.”
@AdamSchiff closing statement
“Somebody” — Ron Johnson has “no idea” who — dropped off a strange envelope at Ron’s office and his Chief of Staff almost had Ron hand-deliver it to VP Pence on #January6th?

That’s his story about his role in Trump’s fake electors plot?

#TrumpCoupAttempt
“What angers me so much...about that [Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss] testimony is that I know that those women are going to get additional threats because they were brave enough to get on television and talk about what happened.”
@DrJasonJohnson re:#LadyRuby
Members of Congress who sought pardons from Trump include Scott Perry, Louie Gohmert, Matt Gaetz, Mo Brooks, Andy Biggs, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

All of them voted against democracy on #January6th after the Capitol attack.

#January6thCommitteeHearings:
“Keep all protests PEACEFUL. Peaceful, peaceful… Threats and intimidation are not speech. We must stand against violence in any form… With your VOTE, you can act. You can have the final word. This is not over.”

“What makes people think that this radical conservative Supreme Court…would allow Congressional law protecting #RoeVWade? I’ll tell you the answer: THEY WON’T…as long as we let these 6 conservative theocrats control our country…”
@ElieNYC @TiffanyDCross
“[Ben Wattenberg 1987 book says] ‘60% of fetuses that are aborted every year are white. If we could keep that 60% alive, that would solve our birth dearth.’ Does that sound like racism to you? And if it doesn’t, I want to know why it doesn’t.”
Jane Elliott
“Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and Republican Congressmen… We have an obligation to tell people that this was an illegal, corrupt election.”

#January6thCommitteeHearings Day 5 (6/23/22) recap:
“I don’t f—ing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me. Take the f—ing mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.”
Trump KNEW his mob had rifles and pistols on #January6th

Cassidy Hutchinson #January6thHearings:
“Please make sure we don’t go up to the Capitol, Cassidy.
Keep in touch with me. We’re going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen.”
WH Counsel Pat Cipollone to #CassidyHutchinson 1/6/21

#January6thCommitteeHearings:
“They had weapons [that] were confiscated: pepper spray, knives, brass knuckles, tasers, body armor, gas masks, batons, blunt weapons… with firearms, including AR-15s, near the Ellipse on the morning of #January6th.”

#TrumpCoupAttempt #January6thHearings:
“I remember Tony mentioning knives, guns in the form of pistols and rifles, bear spray, body armor, spears, and flagpoles…
These f—ing people are fastening spears onto ends of flagpoles.”
#CassidyHutchinsonTestimony

“[Trump said] ‘I'm the f—ing president. Take me up to the Capitol NOW.’…

#January6thHearings
Pat Cipollone: They’re literally calling for the VP to be f—ing hung.

Mark Meadows: “You heard [Trump], Pat. He thinks Mike [Pence] deserves it. He doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong.”

Pat: This is f—ing crazy. We need to be doing something more.
Cheney: Do you believe violence on January 6 was justified morally?
Michael Flynn: Fifth [Amendment]
Cheney: Do you believe violence on #January6th was justified legally?
Flynn: Fifth
Cheney: Do you believe in the peaceful transfer of power?
Flynn: Fifth

“The mob takes the Fifth. If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
Donald Trump in Council Bluffs, Iowa 9/28/16

#TrumpCoupAttempt

Pat Cipollone: The rioters have gotten to the Capitol, Mark.

Mark Meadows: [Trump] doesn't want to do anything, Pat.

Pat: Mark, something needs to be done or people are going to die and the blood is going to be on your f—ing hands.

#January6thHearings:
Liz Cheney: The night before #January6th, President* Trump instructed Mark Meadows to contact both Roger Stone and Michael Flynn regarding what would play out the next day.

#CassidyHutchinson: That’s correct. That is my understanding.

#January6thHearings
Cheney: Did Rudy Giuliani [seek a] pardon related to January 6?
Cassidy Hutchinson: He did.
LC: Did Mark Meadows ever indicate that he was interested in receiving a Presidential pardon related to #January6th?
CH: Mr Meadows did seek that pardon. Yes ma’am.
“I don’t f—ing care that they have weapons. They’re not here to hurt me… Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol after the rally’s over…from the Ellipse. Take the f—ing mags away.”

“How did [‘independent state legislature’] theory…suddenly migrate to the centerpiece of a case that will be heard next term by the U.S. #SupremeCourt? It should worry EVERYONE who cares about free and fair elections.”

@AndrewYang: You describe civil war in the U.S. as hundreds of militias engaging in what most people would consider terrorist activities. How many militias exist right now in the U.S.?

Barbara F Walter (@bfwalter): Over 400… Most are far-right groups.

“Two best predictors of [violence] are whether a country is an anocracy [partial democracy] and whether ethnic entrepreneurs …are using racial, religious, or ethnic divisions to try to gain political power.”@bfwalter

#January6thHearings ARE working:
“I don’t want to say the election’s over.
I don’t want to say the election’s over.
I don’t want to say the election’s over.
I just want to say ‘Congress certified the results’ without saying the election’s over, okay?”

Donald Trump outtakes January 7 2021
@January6thCmte: “To be crystal clear, there was no direct order from President* Trump to put 10,000 troops to be ready for #January6th?”

Fmr Acting Defense Sec Chris Miller: “That’s correct. There was no direct — There was no order from the president.”
“No one is above the law.” Merrick Garland interview 7/20/22

“We pursue justice without fear or favor. We intend to hold everyone—anyone who was criminally responsible for events surrounding #January6th or any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer of power—accountable.”

Merrick Garland Lester Holt interview
“Merrick Garland [implied without saying] yes we are investigating Donald Trump, because we have to make sure that whoever is responsible for attempting to overturn the election is held criminally accountable.”

@tribelaw @Lawrence on Lester Holt interview
“Democracy is fragile… While the [#January6th] violence was underway, [Trump] placed no call to ANY element of the United States government to instruct that the Capitol be defended.”
@Liz_Cheney @AccountableGOP

#January6thCommitteeHearings summary so far:
“There was no basis in the Constitution or laws of the United States at all for the theory espoused by Mr. [John] Eastman. At all. None.”
Judge Michael Luttig (@judgeluttig) to @JohnWoodMO 6/16/22

“The ‘story’ isn’t the search warrant, it’s that DOJ gave Trump a YEAR to return the stolen goods, and he didn’t… Secrets would be a jackpot for foreign governments… Why would Trump take such documents and what did he plan to do with them?”@AshaRangappa_
Fox ‘News’ talks about Hillary Clinton — “#ButHerEmails!” — next to footage of the Donald Trump FBI search at Mar-a-Lago:

“Who gave you up to the feds?” @ProjectLincoln asks Trump.

Judge Reinhart affirmed that DOJ established probable cause of potential violation of 3 federal statutes:

“It’s not just that [Trump] removed and retained classified information. It’s about what he did with it. This goes so deep. And why hold on to 20 specific boxes (one leather containing top secret) after returning 15?”

“Putin’s mouthpieces on Russian state TV are taunting America about Top Secret documents [Trump took] which they claim had to do with the newest nuclear weapons developed by the U.S. and gleefully imply that Moscow already got to see them.” @JuliaDavisNews

Please keep asking: Why did Trump take 35+ boxes of documents that belong to the U.S. government, why didn’t he return them all when asked, and what did he do with them for 19 months at Mar-a-Lago?

“#EspionageAct [doesn’t] mention classification at all. It talks about a specific type of information: national defense… The real question is, why would Trump WANT to declassify secrets that could harm the U.S.?”
.@AshaRangappa_ @TiffanyDCross @thereidout
“Trump has still not said a word of explanation as to why he took the documents, why he did not return them all, and what he was doing with them for over 18 months.” @AWeissmann_

“The FBI is downstairs.” #Succession @tyler_digital

@Acyn How many elections must Trump lose before @RepRaskin no longer has to warn voters about him?

#TrumpIsANationalSecurityRisk
@Acyn @RepRaskin “Trump’s lawyer argued that as president* he could order the assassination of rivals and face no prosecution unless he’s impeached and convicted. But of course he could just kill or threaten to kill Members of Congress who dare to impeach or convict him.”


@Acyn @RepRaskin Thank you for holding Trump accountable, @RepRaskin.
