The timing of this is super sus:
You can bet that trump has been pressuring people to get this out there before Thursdayās primetime Jan 06 committee. Probably even during the funeral today.

So, remember how Trump told all the January 6 insurrectionists "We love you, youāre very specialā?
Turns out that was the least horrible version of the speech his handlers were able to get out of him and now congress has the outtakes.

āFar and away, we find that the two most commonly-cited reasons for breaching the US Capitol were a desire to support Trump on January 6th in DC and concerns about election integrity,ā the report reads.
āTrump called us. Trump called us to D.C.,ā Rodriguez told the FBI, explaining why he went to D.C. on Jan. 6. āIf heās the commander in chief and the leader of our country, and heās calling for help ā I thought he was calling for help, I thought he was I thought we were doing the right thing.ā

what was it sherlock holmes said?
after you remove the endless wild and completely nonsensical claims, the thing that you already have a ton of evidence for and saw yourself unfold on national television exactly as described is probably true

Just finished watching Day 8 of the hearings, and was impressed with how the events were presented (especially the emphasis on what members of the GOP, Fox News, and 45ās inner circle were saying and texting during the attempted coup). This was me watching the outtakes from those speeches. 
I wasnāt expecting there would be such a long break before the next hearing either, butā¦

One of the most dramatic moments of Thursday nightās Jan. 6 committee hearing featured testimony from an unidentified witness who recounted that then-Vice President Mike Penceās Secret Service detail was scared for their lives as a mob descended upon the U.S. Capitol. Described as a āsecurity professionalā who was working at the White House complex on Jan. 6, the individual monitored incoming radio traffic that day and noted that the agents did ānot sound goodā as the Capitol attack raged. āMembers of the VP detail at this time were starting to fear for their own lives,ā the witness said. āIt was disturbing. I donāt like talking about it. But there were calls to say goodbye to family members, so on and so forth.ā The witness added āit was just chaosā and they were āgetting nervousā as rioters breached the Capitol. Many within the mob chanted āHang Mike Penceā and were determined to prevent the vice president from certifying Joe Bidenās electoral victory.

so maybe thereās two sides to every text message?
wonder if they could subpoena the call records, and then the phones of the people the agents talked to. having what they were saying to their friends and families would be pretty revealing

Once again, Penceās ongoing refusal to take a strong stand against the would-be dictator who tried to have him lynched is beyond craven.
But hey, letās all pretend Pence is some kind of principled hero a because he didnāt actively take a leading role in a coup against the United States.

Laughable (in that people will laugh at it) but not completely implausible theory of the day:
Major, Bidenās dog, bit Secret Service members because he sensed their hostility to Biden.

The idea that one could split off the āinstitutionalistā faction from the āfascistā faction looks more and more implausible by the day.
