Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
177/ Rep. Thompson’s closing speech is actually the best he has given thus far. It is amazing that we are alive to witness hearings like this. I never thought I would see or hear anything like this in my entire life. The hearing has just been gaveled closed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
176/ Rep. Thompson (D-MS) is now giving a closing statement. This hearing was incredible, but I do think that the HJ6C needs to avoid ending a hearing with four straight statements from members of the Committee, even if—as here!—all of them were actually very eloquent and urgent. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
175/ I hope we’ll eventually learn who the witness was—as clearly it was someone Trump believed still loyal to him who *instead* refused to take the call and notified their lawyer of the call attempt. Now that’s the sort of witness one really wants to hear from, needless to say. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
174/ Holy cow! Cheney says Trump personally tried to call a witness he knew was a January 6 witness—doing so *after* the Cassidy Hutchinson testimony (but the witness was not Hutchinson; Cheney says that it was someone who the Committee has not heard from yet). Could it be Byrne? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
173/ It’s clear that Cipollone’s testimony will be a huge part of the next hearing. Part of it is playing now; Cipollone is agreeing that at any point in the now-infamous 187 minutes Trump could’ve issued a statement that likely would have *ended* the conflict almost immediately. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
172/ She says all the HJ6C hearings circumscribe a discrete "serious" matter connected because Donald Trump was at the heart of each one. She says that next week’s hearing will focus on the 187 minutes on January 6 during which Trump *chose* to do nothing to relieve the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
171/ Rep. Cheney (R-WY) is now giving her final statement. As in the past, she’s summarizing the evidence and past hearings. She is quickly walking through each past House January 6 Committee hearing. She says only one more hearing is required to outline the *basics* of the case. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
170/ Rep. Murphy is now giving her final statement, talking about how she was born overseas during the Vietnam War and that she does not want to see America become like the part of the world her family fled to America from. We are now "fight[ing] fiction with facts", she says. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
169/ This is a long speech but a very good one. It underscores that Donald Trump remains a clear and present danger to the United States of America and our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
168/ RASKIN: "He [Trump] threatens to take one of America’s two great political parties down the road to authoritarianism with him." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
167/ REP. JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD): "The Watergate break-in was like a Cub Scout meeting compared to this [the January 6 insurrection]." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
166/ Sgt. Gonell’s injuries are so severe that he is going to have to leave law enforcement because he cannot physically perform such duties. Raskin says that Trump had brought "American carnage" to this country, after saying he’d protect us from *just that* at his Inauguration. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
165/ Raskin is now giving an eloquent closing statement that reminds me of his eloquence at the second Trump impeachment. It is a speech about freedom, democracy, insurrection, and violence. He is telling the story of Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, a soldier who helped defend the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
164/ I believe the structure and text of these Congressional hearings will be studied by historians not just for decades but for hundreds of years. I’m serious. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
163/ Ayres urges those who are still insurrectionists to "take the blinders off [about the 2020 election] before it’s too late." It is hard to explain—Ayres did not seem scripted at all, and he is not a great speaker, and yet his Congressional testimony today was oddly eloquent. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
162/ Ayres says he is "mad" that Trump is still spreading lies about the election, because believing those lies changed his life dramatically for the worse. He also says that if Trump is re-elected we could "be going [back] down the same path" the country was going on January 6. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
161/ Ayres said that when Trump tweeted that people should leave the Capitol on January 6 it "definitely dispersed" the insurrectionist crowd—immediately—that was then in the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
160/ I did not expect these two civilian witnesses to be this compelling, honestly. Wow. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
159/ Van Tatenhove says America is "lucky" that there hasn’t been "more bloodshed" so far. He says "so much more [violence]" could’ve happened on January 6. And "I do fear for this next election cycle" if Trump ends up in the White House, as he wants to "encourage" a "civil war." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
158/ Van Tatenhove says that the Oath Keepers planned to use not just guns but military-grade explosives as part of their armed revolution and new civil war. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
157/ Jason van Tatenhove says that the Oath Keepers wanted him to create a "deck of cards"—like the Gulf War deck of cards that were a Who’s Who of who needed to be taken out from the Hussein regime—that would identify politicians and judges whom the Oath Keepers planned to kill. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
156/ Rhodes believed that the Insurrection Act would elevate him from a "paramilitary leader" to a man to whom Trump had specifically "given the nod" to forge a "path forward" to the Oath Keepers becoming a viable paramilitary force fighting—w/ violence—on Donald Trump’s behalf. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
155/ Now van Tatanhove is testifying that Stewart Rhodes—head of the Oath Keepers—wanted the Insurrection Act invoked by Trump because he wanted an "armed revolution" and a "new civil war." Van Tatenhove is clear that Rhodes wanted January 6 to spark widespread national violence. — PolitiTweet.org
