This evidence of Trump's corrupt mindset and overt acts is strong -- several first person accounts under oath; law enforcement records; Trump's own words in public. What's the defense? It's not a factual denial- largely it's rationalizations, the 5th, aides refusing to testify — PolitiTweet.org

People can say what they think, or what "looks obvious" Evidence is different This is evidence Trump knowingly backed an armed march; tried to use his power to help the armed crowd; and physically clashed with the Secret Service in his dogged effort to join his armed supporters — PolitiTweet.org

The Secret Service may lawfully reject an illegal order, even from a POTUS, as the Service has a legal obligation to its mission and protectees. — PolitiTweet.org

Note this testimony suggests Trump tried to issue an *illegal order* to the Secret Service to *admit armed people* to a secure area. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of those days where the evidence suggests why Mark Meadows has risked so much to avoid testifying about Jan. 6 under oath. — PolitiTweet.org

"The President reached" to "grab the steering wheel," then Trump "used his free hand" to lunge towards his throat. Hutchison testifies about physical altercation inside the POTUS vehicle as Trump demanded to join his armed supporters at the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Ari Melber @AriMelber

This is some of the strongest first person evidence that Trump knew Jan. 6 rally attendees were armed when he exhorted them to march on the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Ari Melber @AriMelber

Trump demanded the Secret Service break the rules to admit armed supporters to his Jan. 6 rally, the aide also testifies. Legally, that sounds like a possible overt act in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ari Melber @AriMelber

New: WH aide testifies on Jan. 6, she personally heard Trump say: He knew marchers had weapons, he wanted them to march on the Capitol, and he knew they were targeting others, not him. — PolitiTweet.org

Ari Melber @AriMelber

Kavanaugh echoes Alito's claim that they have no views on abortion: Many "prioritize" the pregnant woman, others prioritize "fetal life" - we have no view on it. We only care "what the Constitution says about abortion" Do people believe that? Do Kavanaugh's supporters? — PolitiTweet.org
