Trump Sends a ‘Truth’ That PROVES He Watches Every Second of the Hearings: Wants to ‘Cross-Examine’ Representatives

By

Thursday’s hearings were absolutely devastating for Donald Trump.

The day focused upon Republican appointees to the Department of Justice and White House Counsel’s office testifying as to how they told Trump repeatedly that there was no fraud found in the election, none of any significance whatsoever. Even more damningly, they testified that Donald Trump had no real interest in whether there was actual fraud, all he needed was a letter signed saying that they needed an investigation into whether fraud was found, and leave the rest to him.

If the Department of Justice is going to charge Trump with sedition – and it should be noted that the FBI raided Jeffery Clarke’s home on Wednesday, Trump’s choice to be Attorney General in order to sign the letter – then yesterday was the day with the strongest proof of sedition so far. Trump admitted to attorneys at DOJ that he expected them to work for “him” and not the country, and he asked them to commit fraud in doing so. Even putting pressure on DOJ for a certain ruling or filing a certain case flirts with a crime.

And despite the fact that we’ve been assured that Trump isn’t watching the hearings, does this sound like a man who isn’t watching the hearings:

Yes. Yes. It happens all the time. Did Trump watch Lindsey Graham explode during Kavanaugh’s hearing? (Just as the “female assistant” was about to get to the date on the calendar when it looked like Kavanaugh was at the party). Has Trump never seen Jim Jordan in Congress? And the member of Congress, “reading off the teleprompter,” Kinzinger, was giving a final statement.

Members of Congress are not “cross-examined.” After all, they’re not on trial.

Trump might want to familiarize himself with the law and, especially, cross-examinations. After all, no one has said that Trump cannot come and testify. He can come and answer all the questions asked. The Committee would surely extend the invitation.
