legal analyst is our guru for january 6th. whatever the top takeaways for the overarching committee and what they are showing the general public? some of the top takeaways include, this was a compelling opening statement. and then, in the coming weeks, that jay six committee will be providing us the evidence. they ve already provided some. but providing us the evidence to prove what it is representative thompson, and cheney have to support their opening statement. but even the highlights were so important, and so dramatic. is there anybody who believes, zerlina, set the very first video testimony we would see would be from bill barr of all people? but you know, they have zeroed in on really the only, minimally open question. because donald trump did these
which laid out the case of who they said is at the center of the insurrection. here s congressman benny thompson. donald trump was at the center of this conspiracy. and ultimately, donald trump, the president of the united states, spurred a mob of tim aesthetic and the maze of the constitution. to march down the capitol, and subvert american democracy. any legal jargon that you care about seditious conspiracy, obstruction of a official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the united states, boils down to this. january 6th, was the culmination of an attempted coup. a brazen attempt, as one wanted to put it, shortly after january 6th. to overthrow the government. who heard that right? quote. donald trump was at the center
