dresses his wounds as well as the pediatrician of the town of uvalde and he was there with the families at the moment they learned their child would not come home. he will never, ever get those mother s screams out of his head. i raced to the hospital to find parents outside yelling children s names in desperation and sobbing as they begged for any news related to their child. those mothers cries i will never get out of my head, but what i did find was something no prayer would ever relieve. two children whose bodies were pulvarized, decapitated, whose flesh had been ripped apart that the only clue was the blood-spattered cartoon clothes clinging to life and finding none. i can only hope these two bodies were a tragic exception to the list of survivors and as i waited there with my fellow uvalde doctors, nurses, first responders and hospital staff for other casualties we hope to save, they never arrived. all that remained was the bodies of 17 more children, the two teacher
realized they could no longer go to court and in this particular instance they were seeking a ruling on the electoral college act and they realized that that would not help them and out of options would then run into january 6th into violence and that, i think, the committee would suggest that was a logical procession of events based on the president s intent and state of mind. you profiled join eastman and eastman was described as adam kinzinger as the architect of the cage plot. we don t know if cipollone and the former white house counsel will testify and are luddig will. he s supposed to appear as a witness and greg jacob according to people familiar with the plans. jacob in short was on the meeting on the 4th with trump, pence and eastman.
eastman made the case to unilaterally act to halt trump s defeat. eastman was on the other side of that just in the narrow legal context. talk about what luddig offers come committee in terms of what he did at the time against eastman s theory. luddig may be important to establish the conservative legal mind and the person that in the whole group that if you really want to know everything you need to talk to is cipollone, is the white house counsel. if this committee truly wants to have a full airing of what went on and they can get the lawyer in the white house who look, i think, enabled trump and some of trump s strongest instincts in the final two years of the presidency, but in the final six weeks did take some action to
