There was another J6 hearing earlier today in Washington. It came as a surprise to many, because it was called the day before. But "new evidence" showed that Trump was very aware that many in his pro-Trump MAGA crowd were armed, and had no problem with it. He wanted the metal detectors taken away and, when warned that it was not safe, said that the crowd was not there to do him harm. He would not be in danger, he said. Yet, there was this armed mass gathered in Washington, and President Trump was to be there. We all know that guns and other arms pose a serious and obvious threat to the POTUS and others assembled there. Indeed, if this is true, then that shoots down the theory of ANTIFA having been the actual instigators, as the pro-Trump crowd insisted. Obviously, Trump would not have been so quick to allow guns there is, indeed, his political enemies, especially the unruly and dangerously radical and radically dangerous, so-called ANTIFA crowd was to be there, right?
Apparently, Trump really wanted to be at the Capitol building, to the point that he insisted to his driver (a secret service agent dedicated to protecting the president at all times, and a federal agent) to take him there. When the driver refused, Trump jumped up and grabbed the wheel, and took the driver by the throat. That would constitute an assault.
All of this was to stop the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election win over Donald Trump. Trump and his team were given months to try and prove their case of massive voter fraud that, according to them, effectively amounted to a stolen election. Their big slogan was "Stop the Steal." Yet when they had their day in court, they made a point of refusing to argue massive voter fraud, instead going after some irregularities that were in numbers that laughably fell way short of qualifying to reverse the outcome of the election. As Biden suggested, no avenue was blocked for the Trump team to state their case about massive voter fraud, but they failed to prove it. Why? Because they did not have the proof of it. Not one shred of proof to show that, indeed, there was massive voter fraud. Even Republican lawmakers on January 6th were quick to suggest that there was no real argument to be made regarding this alleged massive voter fraud, and made clear that, yes, Biden won the election.
But on that day, despite being advised by many on his team that there was no substance to the stolen election theories, Trump kept insisting. He had the passionate crowd of loyal supporters who gobble up every word that he tells them. And he told them the same thing that he had been saying since before the election even happened. Namely, despite any actual proof, he insisted to them that the election had indeed been stolen. Then he instructed them to go to Capitol Hill and to show only strength, no weakness, in order to "take back your country."
He apparently violently went against those who stood in the way of him getting his way, and going to the Capitol. Later, when advised by some political allies that he needed to put a stop to the siege of the Capitol, he refused. When the crowd started to chant about hanging Vice-President Mike Pence, Trump expressed how he believed that they had a point, that they were right. His own Vice-President had turned into the enemy, and Trump's behavior endangered Pence's life.
Evidently, Trump also threw a plate of whatever he was eating in the White House after learning that his own Attorney General, William Barr, had stated that there was no evidence of enough widespread voter fraud to overturn the election. According to Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide under Trump, she saw the mess, with ketchup dripping down the wall. It was cleaned up later. But it certainly does not reflect well on the temperament of King Con Don. It sure seems like he was prone to a lot of temper tantrums during his time in the Oval Office, and evidently, not just with his trademark, mean-spirited tweets, either.
Trump could not win the election fair and square, nor did he possess any substantive proof of the massive voter fraud that he and some others on his team kept insisting. All they had were a few crackpot theories, and a sizable number of frankly violent supporters, who King Con Don clearly felt would be willing to do his dirty work and stop the democratic process, so that Trump could remain in power. This not only threatened the democratic process, but it is outright an act of treason against the country, and the constitution that he swore to protect and uphold. Shame on him, and shame on those who support him. He is and always has been a criminal, and yes, he poses a very serious threat to American democracy itself. Never has an American president deserved to be behind bars as Trump does.
Kirschner rightly points out that this qualifies now as the centerpiece of the case against Donald Trump. This indeed could prove to be the smoking gun that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt Trump's guilt. As Kirschner rightly points out, Trump is nothing short of a threat to this country. He tried to end our democratic process in order to remain in power, despite having lost the election.
