Anyone else a little disappointed in J6??

[Quakerfriend]

Where are the images of the war room, video of the Oath Keepers moving their weapons into the hotel in Va., communications by/between those who paid for this & did the planning- Tario and Stone, Flynn, Ginni etc.???

[Novara]

1. Why would there be imaged of these things?

You're making suppositions.

[Quakerfriend]

3. We've already seen images of the war room

and hotel video of them moving weapons.

[Demsrule86]

2. It is not a movie.

[Quakerfriend]

5. Yes, true.

However, there were so many people involved in helping to make this happen.

[Demsrule86]

56. I was very impressed with the Janauray 6th Hearings and I think they were more effective than

I ever imagined.

[hlthe2b]

9. Exactly...

[underpants]

4. No. They presented facts.

Great presentation

[hlthe2b]

6. Geebus...

[NanceGreggs]

7. Nope - not even a little bit. n/t

[delisen]

8. Not at all disappointed in Jan 6 Committee. They were superb

They have shown Republican testimony against Trump and have made great strides in illustrating the huge divide in the Republican Party between the law-abiding and the unlawful.

This achievement will cause more Republicans turn away from the extremist anti-democracy Republicans.

[Quakerfriend]

15. Yes, I agree that has been masterful.

[Emile]

10. I think there presentation was perfect. Much

better than I ever anticipated.

[doc03]

11. No, I think they have done a great job much more than I expected. nt

[Crazyleftie]

12. I would have hoped for

criminal referrals by now......
they are doing a great job
but they need to move faster

[fightforfreedom]

14. They are moving fast.

[Quakerfriend]

17. Yes, this is my feeling as well.

[Scrivener7]

21. Criminal referrals are not their purpose. The DOJ doesn't need criminal referrals to act on

the obvious crimes the committee is documenting.

[Crazyleftie]

38. In case the DOJ is reluctant criminal refferals

it will give them a kick in the butt

[Scrivener7]

39. Maybe. Their referral on Meadows didn't.

[fightforfreedom]

13. A committee member explained this.

She said they have so much evidence they did not have time to show it all. There are still more hearings coming in September.

I would like to hear more about the war room.

[obamanut2012]

16. No

You seem to be misunderstanding what their role is.

They are not a court.

[Quakerfriend]

18. I do understand that.

I’m guess I’m just getting anxious as many of the crooks
don’t seem to be getting much scrutiny.

[FSogol]

19. Maybe CSI is more your speed? They wrap everything up nice & tidy in one hour!

Here in the real world, things aren't so neat.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

20. After last night's presentation I will be more than disappointed

if they don't LOCK HIM UP!

Disgusting. And all the cowards who had the ability to 25 his ugly evil ass the night of Jan 6
and for whatever reason (kompromat? Ties to Epstein? we will likely never know) THEY DID NOTHING.

A few of them resigned- How courageous of them.
His cabinet should be investigated too.

[Scrivener7]

22. No. Not even a little. Whether others act on the information remains to be seen, but

the committee has done its job better than I ever expected.

[gab13by13]

23. The select committee has far exceeded expectations,

Ms. Hutchinson's testimony even shocked DOJ.

With less manpower and resources, the select committee is outpacing DOJ.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

24. On the contrary. J6 has infinitely exceeded my expectations.

[Judi Lynn]

25. Not at all. Completely impressed. Their hard, intelligent effort shows. Can't wait until September.

[Samrob]

26. My only disappointment is that they did not expose the GOP who still reuse to accept election result

There are a few GOP Senators and Reps who need to be exposed in prime time as enablers and current election deniers.

[Paladin]

27. Puh-leese.

The Committee performed beyond my most fervent expectations. Last night's shredding of the remains of Josh Hawley's public career was a bonus.

Want to express righteous anger about under-achievement by a governmental entity? Try Merrick Garland's Department of Justice...

[panader0]

28. I'm not disappointed in the Committee.

If they were to try and cover every aspect of the treason and treachery that surrounded J-6, there
would have to be dozens more hearings.
Imagine if there was such a committee to investigate all of the Russian ties in tfg's administration.
The degree of criminality in that administration would require a year long hearing, meeting every day.
It's certainly not wrong to want more evil doing exposed, I want that too, but the J-6 Committee is
doing a great job so far--more to come in September!

[Novara]

29. No kidding. We'd be watching hearings for years if they covered it all

That said, I was a little bit underwhelmed with last night's hearing compared to some of the other hearings.

I would have preferred they go more in depth regarding the timeline of the call to the National Guard that Pence made and the "go home" video, and connected those dots.

I believe the orange asshole told them to go home at that point because he was afraid his cultists would think he turned the NG on them, and he looked like a pussy because he didn't give that order - it came from Pence and he couldn't tell them that. I wish the committee would have talked more about that.

[barbaraann]

30. The only disappointment I have is that they can't cover the "why" of the insurrection.

IMHO, the really scary part is that most Republicans want a Christo-Fascist autocracy and the "elimination" of all opposition.

[MineralMan]

31. Not me. The committee is doing a great job.

What were you expecting? It's real life, not a movie.

[jalan48]

32. I thought they would investigate the money that helped fund the insurrection. Who were the donors?

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. Not even a little

[Bobstandard]

34. The 'yeah, but her laptop' defense

This is all Magaworld has left after the J6s definitive recitation of the facts of Trumps leadership of an attempted coup, the complaint that a piece of evidence is missing. No matter how much evidence is presented, they will always require something more, however peripheral or irrelevant. Gaslighting, in other words, is all they have left.

I’m not saying the OP was gaslighting, just that Magaworld’s response to J6 committee will look like this.

[Stinky The Clown]

35. Has anyone seen the images of that round brown thing floating in the punch bowl?

[mcar]

36. The Committee has done a masterful job

I don't get your concern.

[XanaDUer2]

37. No nt

[BlueIdaho]

40. Patience Grasshopper

Last night was about Trump’s active role in the insurrection. There will be more hearings.

[FrankBooth]

41. Lots of people are disappointed by J6

Including the Trump klan, Guliani, Eastman, Lil Jared and his trophy-ish wife, Kevin McCarthy, all of the GOP shitheels who voted to decertify, Hawlin' Josh Hawley, and many, many more.

As for Democrats disappointed? Hardly.

[Baggies]

42. Some

It’s probably only being watched by majority Democrats and it’s not being conducted like a trial in the sense that there’s no cross examination. I think cross examination would have brought more eyeballs to the TV. Right now we’re getting the side of those testifying without any real pushback.

I think most people have already made up their minds about J6, and it falls along party lines like one would expect. I keep seeing claims here that it’s going to move the needle, but that’s just wishful thinking. Lots of wishful thinking going around.

[Elessar Zappa]

44. And you know it won't move the needle how?

I already personally know one undecided voter who will never again vote for Republicans precisely because of these hearings.

[Baggies]

45. It's my opinion

Time will tell.

[Totally Tunsie]

47. Not disappointed in the least. The J6 is doing a great job!

Who would you have "cross examine" the witnesses? They're already being questioned by both Democratic and Republican members. This is a hearing, not a court trial. A hearing brings out the information and examines it. A trial judges the info and metes punishment as necessary.

[demtenjeep]

52. bless your heart

.

[Takket]

43. there are more hearings coming in September. could be touched on then

[AntiFascist]

46. They need to put some focus on what was happening in the hotel in VA...

and the military types surrounding Flynn, who are particularly dangerous.

[Hekate]

48. Not disappointed even a little tiny bit. Drip - drip - drip.

[Silent3]

49. I save the bulk of my disappointment for the painfully slow-moving DoJ

At least the J6 committee is getting the story out in more-than-damning-enough detail.

It's a shame they can't file indictments.

[likesmountains 52]

50. No.

[Patton French]

51. I'm back and forth

They have moments of gripping brilliance, but I also see what appear to be lost opportunities. But it’s easy to second guess.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

53. NOPE.

[UTUSN]

54. Odd. The lack of those images are Drumpf's never-happened things.

[Hekate]

55. Have you seen this about the focus groups?
