Didnt send u. S. Troops in to defend the capitol because he was worried about a quote, military coup. The other breaking news, moments ago, one of the few republicans in congress to speak out against former President Trumps continuing election lies has now been ousted from her leadership role. House republicans pushed out congresswoman liz cheney as the number three ranked member of gop leadership. According to a member in the room, as the vote happened, cheney was booed when she criticized the former president in her opening remarks. Afterwards cheney remained defiant after her colleagues endorsed a falsehood over truth. I will do everything i can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the oval office. We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the constitution, and i think its very important that we make sure, whomever we elect, is somebody who will be faithful to the consti
There is a lot of complications about what happened here, what went wrong on january 6th. But i think youll hear questions about whether the fbi should have done more to get inside of these groups. We know that some of the groups are certainly planning a lot of the events, that we know from the Court Documents and the charges that have been brought against 300 people. We know there was some planning involved. Why did the fbi not see that. Why did they miss some of that. And i think youll hear some defense from the director about some of those questions.

And what he was saying in this Opening Statement, what he intends to say is that they have no intelligence to indicate that anyone was going to try and overtake the capitol.

That they are getting close to arresting that person or at least identifying that person because its a big outstanding question. Also i think with the hearing one of the things were going to see come up again and again is a clash between First Amendment rights and what the fbi is able to do in its investigation, Congress People will want to know why the fbi did not act on speech and the fbi is going to have to explain again and again that in the United States you can speak about things like attacking the capitol, what the fbi investigates is violence and plots, but we have very, very aggressive free speech rights here in the United States and thats going to be a big thorny issue that they will be working out today.
