Re: January 6 Select Committee
Cheney is giving closing statement.
trump knew his claims were false.
Pence did not have the power to change the outcome.
trump endangered Pence to pressure him to change the outcome.
the statement by Judge Clark is being read. Should be a good twitter post.

I, Neon ZX, have decided that I should be on the pardon list, if that is still in the works.

They posted a web site for all their evidence with a tip line.

Luttig's closing statement said trump was putting in place a plan to steal 2024.

Thanks for the running log for those of us mired in other stuff.

Dude's not sorry.
The substack in toto:
As basically everyone on Twitter noted, Twitter isn't under oath, and Eastman took the Fifth more than Dave Chappelle.*One wonders when the legacy media will quit allowing themselves to be played by false innuendo based on selective leaks from the January 6 Committee. Yesterday, the Washington Post ran with a story that I’d had email communication with Ginni Thomas back in early December 2020. Others have tried to tie that to a statement I reportedly made in an email some weeks later, in which I reportedly stated that “I understand that there is a heated fight underway” at the Supreme Court over whether the Court should take the various election cases that were pending on its docket. Recall that the story about a heated fight at the Court over the election cases was the subject of news accounts at the time. See, e.g., Neil Campbell, Rumors Chief Justice Roberts Shouted Down His Peers Over Texas Case Emerge During Electoral College Vote, Vision Times (Dec. 20, 2020), at https://www.visiontimes.com/2020/12/20/ ... -vote.html. Whether or not those news accounts were true, I can categorically confirm that at no time did I discuss with Mrs. Thomas or Justice Thomas any matters pending or likely to come before the Court. We have never engaged in such discussions, would not engage in such discussions, and did not do so in December 2020 or anytime else. As for the email communications I had with Mrs. Thomas? As you can see for yourselves, she invited me to give an update about election litigation to a group she met with periodically. Those from the January 6 committee who leaked a false impression about that email should be ashamed of themselves, but the Post should be embarrassed for running a story based on their false innuendo.

Eastman asking for a pardon said it all to me.

A copy of the letter is at the bottom of this filing:HawaiiDelilah™ votes DEMOCRATIC BLUE @HawaiiDelilah wrote: DOJ officially requests transcripts from Jan 6 Committee. Letter reads:"It is now readily apparent that the interviews the select committee conducted are not just potentially relevant to our overall criminal investigations, but are likely relevant to specific prosecutions."

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Just now watching hearings because I had a medical appointment this afternoon--I must say Greg Jacobs is a great witness. Judge Luttig had gravitas but Greg is nailing Eastman and by extension Trump to the wall.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
The suspense is building as in a crime drama until we see Mike Pence running for his life.
Re: January 6 Select Committee
I cant really remember the Book of Daniel that well, but think something hat happens in it is that the King signs a law that forces people to Worship him, but its a trap by Daniels enemies who leap into his house as he is worshiping the Lord and drag him in front of the King demanding he be executed for breaking the law.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Thu Jun 16, 2022 3:27 pm compares Pence to someone in the bible, book of Daniel, about being ordered by the king to do something that's wrong. I don't know the story. Maybe someone can fill us in? Apparently Jacob is religious and had a bible with him and went to that chapter in Daniel as they waited in the tunnels.

I honestly thought he was being cautious in his responses. But he also seemed angst filled and sad. It was hard for me to wait for his answers but he was awesome.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
I thought it was incredible that both Wood and Eastman had been Luttig's clerks. Yet Luttig said he had been honored to have Wood be his law clerk. His views of Eastman were very, very different.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Ya know, seeing that they have the pictures the guy took of Nadler's office plaque and the wall with all the committee staff photos, ya gotta wonder how they don't have the pictures he took of all the other stuff, and wonder if maybe they know who he is and have already had a chat.

Also, too, we should thank God. You just know that Pence spent hours in prayer over this. Apparently, God never once told him it sounded like a good idea.
