The clips showing Pelosi, Schumer, Scalise, et al visibly shaken and fearing for their lives was the most chilling thing I've seen in a very long time. As one talking head put it after the hearing ended not one lawmaker uttered TFG's name - he was completely out of the chain of command at that point. The Speaker of the House talking to the governor of a state and that governor accepting her leadership. Amazing video.

There might be some overlap between the two clips but they start at different places.

How close did we come? Too close for comfort.

What will happen to her? She will lose re-election, and she certainly cannot become a democrat. Will she have to fade away and be an oddity, the republican with principles?

She's going to run for president. I'd kinda enjoy her sharing the debate stage with Florida's governor, the orange buffoon, and Uncle Clarence's keeper, Ginni.

She already lost in the primary so she is not running for re-election.

I am still marveling at how for a period of time on January 6 Nancy Pelosi was running the country with Chuck Schumer and Mike Pence. In heels. In her 80's. I think that is the reason this video clip has resonated with so many. The more you realize how dire the situation was, and how that small group of people (even Pence) just took over the chain of command of the US government.

Amazing.

I don't think I would ever vote for Liz Cheney for anything, she is so conservative. But she is the type of conservative who understands that the oaths you take to "support and defend the United States" are not just lines from an off Broadway play. I respect and admire her for what she's done with the J6 committee.

Which is where your country should be. You can disagree with Liz Cheney, and you can be sure that you would never vote for her. But you can still respect her when she shows integrity.
That is the part of the equation that the rest of the GOP can't figure out (maybe Romney and Kipsinger (I can't ever remember his real last name).)

I wonder if there will be another televised hearing before things change in the House?

Judd Legum @juddlegum@journa.host
Four criminal referrals of Trump by the January 6 committee to the DOJ:

1. Obstruction of an official proceeding

2. Conspiracy to defraud the United States

3. Conspiracy to make a false statement

4 “Incite,” “Assist” or “Aird or comfort” an Insurrection

💥Boom! Criminal referrals of Donald Trump. Love that the former law professor walks through the statutes

18 USC § 1512(c) (obstruction)
18 USC § 371 (defraud clause)
18 USC § 1001 (false statements)
18 USC § 2383 (insurrection)
