INSURRECTION

[Duchess]

Duchess did you watch today's hearing?

I did. I was glad that the majority of those testifying are considered staunch republicans by anyone's standards.

We've always known that trump's thugs were out in mass ensuring those public figures paid a price when they wouldn't go along with trump's big lie. The big lie is still going on. I have compassion for the election workers whose lives won't be the same for a very long time, if ever. How awful to be told by the FBI to leave their homes for their own safety, at least the public figures of those in politics had security.

I don't think they come any more conservative than Rusty Bowers. He's the Speaker of the Arizona House and he was under heavy pressure to give in to trump and he stood his ground. He and his wife were caring for their adult daughter who was very sick, she died a few weeks after trump's thugs converged on their home and terrorized them and their neighbors. I see some people calling him a hero today. Pffft. That stuff annoys me, he did his friggin' job and honored his oath. We all should have the expectation that they do so. He'd vote for trump again and said so in an interview the day before his testimony.

The next hearing is tomorrow at 3:00 EST. The witnesses who will be testifying are:

Richard Donohue--former acting Deputy AG
Steven Engle--former assistant AG
Jeffrey Rosen--former acting AG

All of them ^^^^^^^ are republicans.

I'm most interested in Jeffrey Rosen's testimony.
