Every voter and anyone interested in the history of the United States should watch the Jan. 6 hearings. This goes double for the FOX News crowd who can safely watch their channel as a convenient way to avoid truth and its consequences.
We drove to Chicago today to watch a soccer tournament so we had plenty of time to listen to the Jan. 6 hearings. Here is my summary. A delusional and dangerous Trump tried to bully Mike Pence to act in opposition to the Constitution and delay the count certifying President Biden. This strategy was designed to throw the election process into chaos. Obviously, Pence refused and acted as the Constitution requires. Trump had an interesting way of finding crack pot scientists or lawyers to propose opinions Trump found helpful. In this case, lawyer was John Eastman. Eastman knew the course of action he proposed for Trump was illegal and went along with misleading Trump supporters. Trump always seemed to search out someone he could dupe or threaten into doing his dirty work.
It’s time to hear from Mike Pence. Today he ends up the hero for what most middle schoolers would know was the right thing.
BTW – lawyer Eastman asked to be included on the Trump pardon list. Perhaps he was not that confident in his guidance.
