Wow! Powerful testimony by Arizona Speaker Bowers.

Destroyed both Trump and Giuliani in the first couple sentences of his testimony. 

Trump and Giuliani both asked Bowers to help them steal the election in Arizona. 

Giuliani told Bowers he had specific evidence that dead people and illegals had voted in Arizona. Bowers said will you give me the names , and Giuliani said yes. No names were ever given. Nonetheless they wanted Bowers to name new Trump backing electors and throw the Biden electors out. 

Guilty as charged.

If you dont know anything about it why are you saying anything? 

Are people supposed to be impressed by your lack of knowledge of this matter?

Giuliani, and Trump asked the Speaker of the Arizona House to name Trump the winner in Arizona (through fake electors) even though there was no evidence whatsoever of voter fraud. 

Bowers said John Eastman asked him to put forward the fake electors and "let the courts figure it out". 

These Trump officials all belong in prison.

Such rhetorical projection is just too cute. That's the kind of ridiculous claim that can only come from the right wing conservative alternate universe where conservatives consistently praise Putin but claim democrats are somehow the fascist authoritarians. The ability to contort such that their heads, like some M.C. Escher drawing, can twist around into their own asses is truly fascinating.

That's all most right wing conservatives "need to know" because rabid mobs don't act on facts and reality, they don't think for themselves, they foam at the mouth on command from their tiki torch bearing leaders.

Has he seen many "Soviet style" political "charades" and assumes the January 6th committee must be similar, or has he watched the January 6th committee and assumed they must be a "Soviet style charade"? With how many right wing conservatives trust news from RT more than they do from the AP, it would seem the former more likely.

For a, as Greg called it, Soviet style charade maybe.  This isn't a trial.  This would be called "Testimony" in a trial.  Before the trial you need evidence.  Again, something that is sorely lacking given the number of "investigations" that have been.

That is a clear admission of pure bias.   You have no idea what they have presented yet you deem it a "Soviet style charade" where charade = "an absurd pretense intended to create a pleasant or respectable appearance".

Ignorance of the facts (hard video evidence and direct testimony by Republican witnesses) leads to poor conclusions.

I did not watch todays program, but reading the commentary is what is so revealing about the “right”, and it is distinctly disturbing to me, that they refuse to watch, for many, basically forced testimony. We did not see Barr in real time, as he acts like some sort of hero now, while in fact he is truly a coward. How many, if not forced to, would be up there testifying to the ACTUAL TRUTH, if not threatened with possibly real repercussions?? Thus WHY, they should be witnessed First hand, and not via Fox like filters that bias what they can afford to shove down and into the gullibles who would choose to HIDE from the full context that is required to comprehend the ACTUAL TRUTH ABOUT THESE MATTERS!  You embarrass yourself with this charade, and ought to be a tad concerned about how Trump HAS, DOES, and will CONTINUE TO PLAY YOU, until you get off the Trump Cult Cut Train of Thoughtlessness, cause it is FCKN embarrassing just watching so many squirming attempting to defend the former worm in our White House, that has been spray painted and tainted forever, because people were too stupid, to realize they are not clever enough to see what those who could, rightfully pointed out to them, and not just because they could, but because they foresaw what eventually WOULD HAPPEN.

And what individual, truly thinks, they could possibly learn more from written word, than actual TESTIMONY? Cause Trump SURELY was aware, when his lawyers had him do ONLY a written answer booklet to questions posed during the Mueller investigation.
