The First Jan. 6 Congressional Hearing – “A Coordinated Operation.”
If I have to summarize the first hearing in one sentence, it is, “The January 6 Insurrection was a planned, “coordinated operation” to stop the peaceful transfer of power.”
I am counting down to the next Jan. 6 Congressional Hearing.
It is expected to happen on Sept. 28. I am producing eight videos for each hearing in the Summer of 2022.
The first hearing happened on June 9, featuring never-seen-before videos and taped interviews with seven Trump Administration staff, friends, and family, including his daughter and son-in-law.
Two witnesses testified in person—Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards and Nick Quested, a documentary filmmaker.
Here is the transcript from my podcast.
January 6 Congressional Hearing Number One.
Held on Thursday, June 10, 2022
The message for this hearing:
The 2020 Presidential Election was NOT stolen. And the attack on the Capitol was a coordinated Operation to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and prevent the transfer of power.
This was the Introduction Hearing.
Great start.
There were two witnesses. Two witnesses were in the hearing room.
Capitol police Officer Caroline Edwards. Brave and Beautiful.
Edwards was the first law enforcement officer injured by rioters who attacked the Capitol, leaving her with a brain injury. Though wounded, she continued to patrol the Capitol and prevented more rioters from entering the building.
The other in-person witness Nick Quested, The British documentary filmmaker, was the second in-person witness. He captured parts of the Jan. 6 insurrection on video. Quested and his crew had been documenting the extremist group the Proud Boys, including their then-leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio. This witness testified that the Proud Boys leader met with The Oath Keepers Leader the day before the deadly attack.
So two US Terrorist groups coordinated the riot.
U.S. Terrorists Groups. Who was encouraged by the former President? And he’s still doing it now.
There was a powerful presentation by investigative Counsel for the Committee Marcus Childress called Jan. 6 Pre-Planning, which connected the former President to U.S. Terrorists Groups.
Seven witnesses were on video, including the former Attorney General and the President’s Daughter and Son-in-Law.
All the witnesses were asked if the election was stolen. They all said no.
The theme of the witnesses on tape is this. They all said they tried to communicate with Trump that the election had not been stolen. That Biden won. That Trump lost. He would not listen.
We also heard sound bites from rioters who said they were there because Trump asked them to come.
Hearing number one was an excellent beginning.
