that. make no mistake, tonight s so-called hearing is not in good faith, it is not an honest probe into the security breakdown on that fateful day, and we will prove that to you tonight. instead, it is a made-for-tv smear campaign against president trump, featuring sliced and diced video that fits their predetermined political narrative from the very beginning, accompanied by the biggest trump haters on capitol hill. every single person on this committee is on record hating president trump, and they all voted to impeach him. now, people who support donald trump were not allowed to participate on this illegitimate, hyperpartisan committee, and sadly, those running the circus are not interested in what went wrong. they are not interested in what actually happened. they are purposely omitting what is critical information. we will tell you about tonight, and we will show you tonight, that will reveal where massive security failures did occur, and beyond that, show you the people
view of what happened during that period was going to be part of the indictment. i think they knew after he was forced to speak to jack smith s temperature. they did fight it on a different reason. and obviously he had to go in. obviously he either quoted his notes to jack smith or he gave jack smith the notes that he took after a meeting that he had with donald trump on january 4th. and the other part of the indictment is where trump was telling people who were saying pence doesn t have that power and trump said well you don t need to talk to pence. i will talk to the vice president. and saying people who were undercutting his argument shouldn t be talking to pence. but the other thing that pence said w while he was in iowa, they didn t ask for pence to do anything wrong, they just asked for a pause on the vote count. but pence said it wasn t that they asked for a pause. they specifically asked me to litly reject votes which would have resulted in an issue being turned over to the

states that unconstitutionally conducted their elections deserved the scrutiny that they received through that process. people were right to be upset about how the election was conducted. that doesn t mean they committed an insurrection. again, they are trying to prosecute donald trump for crimes that happened on that day that he didn t commit. people that were violent, that broke into the capitol, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. the fbi has arrested hundreds of people who did it. there s a reason hundreds of people showed up in the nation s capitol by the way, no greater place to show up and protest, make your voice heard, it is very american to do that in washington, d.c., and to prosecute people who did that peacefully and exercise their constitutional right is absolutely shameful. sean: let s talk a little bit, congresswoman, so far it has been a rehash of pretty much everything we already knew. they made a big deal of the fact they had video that ha
