J6 Stalinist Show Trial Committee delaying theatrical release of report because the stage is too crowded today, apparently

Pileup of Zelensky visit and omnibus risked overshadowing the report release, and was taking up most of Congress' bandwidth today, it seems.

would you feel better about it if i called her a milf cunt?


was it toxic rancor the press declared her secondhand testimony "BOMBSHELL" evidence? Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid

Nobody saw the immaculate reception but it was Franco with the ball after the cameras stopped rolling and the rest of the audience corroborated the event.

The general rule is that hearsay evidence is not admissible at trial. The rule against using hearsay evidence is to prevent out-of-court, second hand statements from being used as evidence at trial given their potential unreliability.

This is because the usual level of scrutiny is lost with hearsay evidence as the maker of the statement is not at Court to be cross-examined and assessed by the jury.

Oh I agree that it's not the same as direct eyewitness testimony but to say it isn't effective or influential is just wrong. It is normally used to validate or provide context etc. when needed.

True that part of the testimony given could be classified as hearsay, but this is not a trial. I'm not seeing anything yet in the released report that she or anyone said that hasn't been corroborated. If there is, just provide the foot note# and I'll search.

AND

“The handwritten note that Cassidy Hutchinson testified was written by her was in fact written by Eric Herschmann on January 6, 2021,” a Herschmann spokesperson said. “All sources with direct knowledge and law enforcement have and will confirm that it was written by Mr. Herschmann.”

The pair of discrepancies have destroyed Hutchinson’s credibility

otherwise the secret service who stated the "narrative", second hand at that, didn't happen and who said the agents who were there said they would testify. can't have that, can we?


even the FBI has said there was no planned insurrection.

Exclusive: FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated - sources

so someone tell me what was the real purpose of this "committee"?

The two sources cited in the post above, are from 2021. The resulting inquiries from the January 6th committee would show that there are indeed a lot more facts, that implicate coordination. I'm not sure those dotted lines connect directly to trump, but it does show coordination and it has been since those reports that these folks like The oath keepers have gone to jail. When you state that there is no insurrection, that is not what that first link even shows. It says it does not show it's tied to Trump. More appropriatly it mean at the time of that article they had the ability to connect all the different communications.

Down playing what happened in January is the dumbest thing conservatives should do. They should just say those were bad actors and bad people. Making excuses for storming the capital is foolish.

who say's i'm downplaying it? it was stupid. it was not an insurrection. it was a riot. and in some cases it wasn't even that.

i'm sure you know that there are many documented examples of the capitol police allowing these "insurrectionists" into the Capitol building? so .. they were in on it? they coordinated it??

I'm not sure how or why the question of coordination has come up. I'm looking again at the Jan 6th executive report. I don't see where they are trying to prove coronation or the need to. I don't know of any testimony in this area at all.



I'll assume that you're saying that the lack of any proof is a get out of jail free card, but it's not.



As far as the real purpose, I believe this is the answer.
