Today's Jan 6 hearing bombshell: Hours before Rudy Giuliani assured the crowd at Trump's Jan 6 rally that Mike Pence could legally overturn the election -- he admitted on a private phone call that it wasn't true.
And another: The lawyer at the center of the Pence theory tried to get a pardon. -- He also knew the plot was illegal.
These hearings are far from over, but the January 6th committee has clearly done its job. It’s time for Merrick Garland to do his.
Failure to hold those who broke the law legally accountable will allow future attacks to succeed and the threat to our democracy will only grow.
We will deliver signatures to Merrick Garland’s office and share the support for this petition with the media and key allies in Congress.
Americans are now seeing the factual evidence of a criminal conspiracy that started long before the violence on Jan 6 and that continues to this day. As conservative Judge Michael Luttig testified to the Jan 6 investigators today, this is not about the past:
"Almost two years after that fateful day in January 2021, still Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy. That’s not because of what happened on January 6. It’s because to this very day the former president, his allies and supporters, pledge that in the presidential election of 2024, if the former president or his anointed successor as the Republican Party presidential candidate, were to lose that election, that they would attempt to overturn that 2024 election in the same way that they attempted to overturn the 2020 election, but succeed in 2024 where they failed in 2020.
This was -- and still is -- an attack on our vote, our voice, and our democracy. The threat will continue and grow until those who broke the law are held accountable.
We must hold those involved in this criminal conspiracy accountable -- even if they are former Presidents or members of Congress -- in order to protect our right to vote and choose our own leaders.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
