Officer Caroline Edwards: "I was slipping in people's blood. ... It was carnage. It was chaos. I can't even describe what I saw." She said never in her wildest dreams did she think "I would find myself in the middle of a battle." She said Capitol became an "absolute war zone." — PolitiTweet.org

An ethics lawyer tells men: “This is a great place to start. The biggest hurdle is to establish intent. And Bill Barr telling Trump that he’s lost and that he does not have legal recourse to subvert the election, is the the first step to proving Trump’s illegal intent.” — PolitiTweet.org

One former Trump aide who was involved in trying to claim their were irregularities in the elections tells me just now that this has made Trump “look extremely culpable” and that Republicans still questioning the election are “fools and chasing a dream.” — PolitiTweet.org

Another key moment. Rep Liz Cheney says of Trump: "He did not talk to the Department of Homeland Security. Trump gave no order to deploy the National Guard that day, and made no effort to work with the Department of Justice to coordinate and deploy law enforcement assets." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Cheney reading texts between Fox News host Sean Hannity & WH Press Sec Kayleigh McEnany. Hannity wrote: “No more stolen election talk.” “Yes, impeachment and 25th amendment are real, and many people will quit.” Kayleigh responded in part: “Love that. That’s the playbook.” — PolitiTweet.org

(!) Rep Liz Cheney: Rep. Scott Perry "contacted the White House in the weeks after January 6th to seek a Presidential Pardon. Multiple other Republican congressmen also sought Presidential Pardons for their roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 election." — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful Rep Cheney just played video of Marc Short, VP Mike Pence's chief of staff saying this of Pence: "He ultimately knew that his fidelity to the Constitution was his first and foremost oath, and that’s – that’s what he articulated publicly and I think that’s what he felt." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep Cheney played video of Ivanka Trump saying she accepted Barr saying her dad lost the election. Q: How did that affect your perception about the election when AG Barr made that statement? Ivanka: It affected my perspective. I respect AG Barr so I accepted what he was saying. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Cheney also said: You will hear testimony that Pres Trump "didn’t really want to put anything out" calling off the riot or asking his supporters to leave ... that Pres Trump was yelling, and "really angry at advisors who told him he needed to do be doing something more." — PolitiTweet.org

(!) Rep Liz Cheney on what Pres Trump was doing during attack: "You will hear testimony that ..Aware of the rioters’ chants to “hang Mike Pence,” the President responded with this sentiment: [quote] “maybe our supporters have the right idea.” Mike Pence [quote] “deserves” it." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep Bennie Thompson's summarizes the thesis of the January 6th committee saying the Capitol attack was part of a "sprawling, multi-step conspiracy aimed at overturning the Presidential election" and that January 6th was the "culmination of an attempted coup." — PolitiTweet.org

January 6th Committee Chair Bennie Thompson's first video is of former Attorney General Bill Barr testifying that he repeatedly told former President Trump that he didn't agree with his lies about the 2020 election. Barr puts it bluntly: "I told the president it was bullshit." — PolitiTweet.org
