BREAKING NEWS:
Chair of the House January 6 Select Committee Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said after the hearing that the committee has started sharing the information they have gleaned with the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to NPR.
President Joe Biden is in Isreal being briefed on the Iron Dome and Iron Beam Air Defense System. Then he heads to Jerusalem. After that he reluctantly meets with Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and his father over oil and human rights (murder of The Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi), The New York Times reported.

We walked away from the June 12 House January 6 Select Committee’s intensely emotional hearing with spine-chilling testimony. The ex-president cast off what few patriotic advisors were left and went for the crazy ones. The two groups met and clashed in the White House Oval Office — for six hours. Screaming, yelling, and cursing ensued, according to The USA Today Newspaper.

One side wanted Donald Trump to go quietly into the night. The crazies’ side suggested sending the military to confiscate everyone’s voting machine. Finally, they left at midnight. Chief of Staff Mark Meadows walked Rudy Giuliani off the grounds, because he did not doubt the former New York mayor might wander back into the mansion on his own.
We learned that after 1:00 a.m. the former president sent out a tweet, a call to arms. Upon that notice, the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters out of Florida, and the Oath Keepers met and joined forces together for a common goal — to overturn America’s democracy and its legislators via violence. By doing so, they could hand Trump another, endless term.
The Proud Boys is an extremist group that anyone can join. They were the cannon fodder for the coup on January 6. The Oath Keepers is also a homegrown terrorist group consisting of primarily former police and military members. They actively train for just such a moment. These two are the dominant White nationalist groups.
One extremist called for a “red wedding,” slang for a massacre. Another yelled, “killed all the Democrats — the men, women, and children.”
On June 21, the January 6 Select Committee will hold what is, at this time, the last hearing during prime time. We will find out how Trump acted during his coup and what the missing 181 minutes reveal.
