77/ RASKIN: "Even Rudy Giuliani's own legal team admitted that they didn't have any evidence of fraud sufficient to change the election results." Bernie Kerik (who was leading the investigation for Rudy) told Meadows this clearly and said Trump would have to lobby *legislators*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
76/ On the federal government seizing voting machines (Cipollone seems to indicate that this is what he told Team Kraken): "I don't even know why we have to tell you why that's a bad idea....that's not how we do things in America." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
75/ Pat Cipollone makes clear that he opposed everything about this plan, including Powell being given any power to do anything whatsoever. He also says that Team Kraken was never able to provide any evidence to him whatsoever of systemic fraud in the November 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
74/ Team Kraken brought a draft executive order to the Oval on December 18 which would have the *Pentagon* seize voting machines—Team Kraken member Kash Patel had already been installed by Trump as a top Pentagon aide to the Secretary of Defense—and make Powell a Special Counsel. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
73/ Barr says Trump raised with him the idea of seizing voting machines and Barr directly said no and that there was no reason for it. Raskin is now moving to the December 18, 2020 Trump-Kraken meeting. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
72/ Raskin is now speaking again, showing—again—a Barr depo video in which Barr says he told Trump theories of the voting machines being hacked were crazy nonsense and that there was no systemic fraud. Pat Cipollone, via depo, is saying he agreed with Barr’s December 1 findings. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
71/ The point of *all* of this is that Trump was *not* just listening to his advisers, as his defenders now say. (That is part of the Big Lie.) Cipollone also says that a president has to abide but court rulings. (As we have seen, he refused to do so.) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
70/ Now Barr saying (depo) that Meadows and Kushner said to him they and others were working on getting Trump to accept his loss. Now Cassidy Hutchinson in depo says then-DNI John Ratcliffe told her that he was worried Trump’s reticence was creating new national security dangers. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
69/ Judd Deere, former White House press secretary, now says in recorded depo that he told Trump that after December 14 the Electoral College had spoken and "the. means for him to pursue litigation was probably closed." Trump, Deere says, disagreed. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
68/ Kayleigh McEnany depo, now, where she says that the end of Trump campaign litigation should have meant the end of the administration and attempts to preserve it. Ivanka Trump depo now in which she agrees that December 14, 2020 should have been the end of her father’s efforts. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
67/ Now we have depo video of former AG Bill Barr saying that December 14 was "the end of the matter" and should have "led inexorably to a new [Biden] administration." Cipollone testifies that Mark Meadows *also* told Trump things were over beginning in late November of 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
66/ Murphy says Cipollone agreed that there was no evidence of systemic fraud in the 2020 election. We are now seeing the first video of Cipollone at depo (and he says this). In a second video, Cipollone testifies that he believed Trump should have conceded in mid-December 2020. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
65/ We are seeing depo video from Eugene Scalia (Antonin’s son), Trump’s Secretary of Labor, saying he *told* Trump he needed to concede the election after December 14 happened. Needless to say, Trump ignored this and all other Cabinet/non-Cabinet advice (e.g., from DOJ). — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
64/ Murphy is summarizing Trump’s failed *legal*—in both senses of that word—efforts to stay in power and how December 14 ended Trump’s campaign (Mitch McConnell admitted it at the time—on December 15). She is emphasizing that this *should* have been the end of the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
63/ The implication Raskin is making is that Trump *knew*, from the start, that he and his agents were "deploying" a mob upon the Capitol on January 6. It is clear we will have a little more "exposition" than usual from members of Congress today. Because this stuff is confusing. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
62/ MID-THREAD BREAKING NEWS (CNN): https://t.co/C7aTNcJUNc — PolitiTweet.org
Manu Raju @mkraju
New evidence expected at hearing. Committee has encrypted messages between Trump allies and members of extremist gr… https://t.co/mlv9Jx1eIK
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
61/ Raskin says that Trump apparently rejected the options Team Kraken put before him on December 18. He turned instead to a) trying to bring extremists to DC on January 6, and b) building his pressure campaign on Mike Pence. Raskin says the extremists then formed an "alliance." — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
60/ She says the hearing will include Trumpworld dealings with rally organizers, speechwriters, members of Congress, grassroots activists, and others. Now Rep. Raskin is speaking, confirming we will be focused in part on the December 18, 2020 "Kraken Conference" today. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
59/ Murphy says the armed January 6 mob was *one* "tool" Trump planned to use on January 6. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
58/ She says December 14—the state-by-state certification of the Biden win—was a transition point that turned attention to January 6 within Trumpworld. And Trump knew he had to call for "backup" for that day. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
57/ Correction of an earlier tweet: Rep. Raskin (D-MD) will be *joined* in the questioning today by Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), who is giving her opening statement today. She’s using her statement to summarize the past HJ6C hearings and the case the Committee has made thus far. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
56/ Cheney closes by saying that Trump and his team knew he lost. Trump and his team knew they had no evidence of fraud. But they nevertheless acted like he won and said they had evidence of it because they *knew* Trump supporters did not have the info *they* did to know better. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
55/ CHENEY: "Trump is a 76 year-old man—not an impressionable child....no rational or sane man in his position could" ignore the information he had that he’d lost the election. This is interesting; Cheney is seeing a real change among Trumpworld provoked by these HJ6C hearings. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
54/ Cheney says the Committee has seen a change in its prospective witnesses: they now understand that the Committee is making a serious case and that is changing how they deal with Committee. She says Trump supporters now concede basic facts but seek to blame Trump’s *advisers*. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
53/ Now Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is speaking. She goes *right* to Cipollone, saying his testimony was incredibly important—and that we’ll hear much more about it next week. She confirms today we’ll see some segments of Cipollone’s testimony, and hear about how Trump summoned a mob. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
52/ Thompson notes that after Biden’s win was certified by 50 states and DC in mid-December 2020, the election was over—Joe Biden was president-elect. Trump had a responsibility to tell his followers that. Instead, he did the opposite and summoned his followers to D.C. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
51/ Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) is starting out by saying that "any real leader" has a "responsibility" to stop his or her followers from misunderstanding how we settle political disputes in America: we do it at the ballot box, not with violence. — PolitiTweet.org
