Thoughts from the January 6 hearings

And I know I can't find anything that says that, well, if the President doesn't fulfill the oath of office, that there are actually any legal consequences. So I'd like to know if anybody has any information on that in particular

I didn't read all of it. I read probably, I don't know, two thirds of it. But what I liked about it was it really helped me understand what's at stake here in terms of what they're tasked to do. And that's why there's so much new evidence, because they're looking at if there's a blame game going on

But that doesn't take away from the fact that they did reveal and hopefully continue to keep in people's minds how significant this was historically. I share with you some of the cynicism you feel because, for example, now I think people are just so tuned out to it that people might not even notice this hearing. What I'm hoping is that enough people will watch it to really understand the full magnitude, regardless of the narrative that's being spun, that it really wasn't that bad

Because I think what they'll probably just say is that this is all fake news or fake truth and refuse to believe it, regardless of whatever evidence is put out by this committee, which again pretty clear from the way it was conducted was quite scripted and could be again criticized for that fact. But at the very least there's a record out there of the things that led up to and were so wrong with the response to the actual electoral loss by Trump

Just a brief just a brief comment. After the third session that I watched, seems like Mike Pence is really one of the heroes of this whole. I commented to my wife that if there was a new addition of Profiles in Courage that comes out, maybe they should add a chapter that describes what Mike Pence did here. I think that he deserves more praise for what he did
