Chair Bennie Thompson's opening statement ahead of Jan. 6 Capitol riot hearing

"Let me say a few words at the outset about this Committee’s work and how, as Chairman, I plan to run things. We are going to be guided solely by the facts. The facts of what happened on January 6th, in the run-up to that tragic day, and what has taken place since. That’s what we’re charged to do by House Resolution 503. There’s no place for politics or partisanship in this investigation. Our only charge is to follow the facts where they lead us."




Liz Cheney's opening statement at Jan. 6 hearing

"Thank you very much, Chairman Thompson. Thank you to all of my colleagues on this committee, and thank you to each of the witnesses appearing before us today. It is because of you -- you held the line, you defended all of us, you defended the Capitol, and you defended the Constitution and our Republic, and every American owes you our undying gratitude. Every American, I hope, will be able to hear your testimony today and will watch the videos. The videos show the unbelievable violence and the inexcusable and intolerable cruelty that you all faced, and people need to know the truth."

1. Thank you for posting this.

I watched most of it yesterday, but it’s very helpful to have it her so I can catch what I missed and hear all these brave testimonies again.

How anyone can support mf45 or any of his congressional cult members is beyond me. It’s just pure evil.

2. You're more than welcome! I managed to catch about half of the officers' testimony

And they were so effective, I posted what was available for those who missed it. I also posted what was uploaded from MSNBC earlier, they did a pretty comprehensive job as well.
