  1. She's lying thru her teeth and trying to get back at Trump for denying her a job.

  2. Came here from Voice of America – nothing but Russian trolls posting criticizing the testimony and the hearings. Witness tampering and obstruction is what got them in Watergate, too. This is SO much more than Watergate ever thought about being and it was obvious from early days.

  3. ANOTHER SMOLLETT. ANOTHER BLASSEY FORD WITNESS. ALL FXXING LIES.
    SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE. THESE DEMS ARE MINIONS OF SATAN.

  4. Ketchup dripping down the wall???
    That’s the smoking gun or ketchup bottle these Dems having been ovulating for for months. Man!!! I think they should now ask for the death penalty. Why not at this point??

  5. Democrats are desperate, Secret Service agents are ready to testify that this is a lie. The jan6 communist committee will never air it.

  6. It's quite amazing all the praising of Cassidy Hutchinson. Patriot, hero, intelligent.
    No, she was a trump supporter, joined his administration, participated in his rallies. She either could not see what trump was or was in it for self profit.
    She should be investigated and prosecuted if justified, like any member of trump's administration. Anything else would place her above the law.

  7. I expect Trump will pull out all his guns to support his lie and his need for global unconditional love. Vote in November like our lives depend on it.

  8. NBC ASK FOR THE ARREST OF PELOSI OR SHUT UP TRAITORS !

  9. By the people and for the people!!!

  10. Trump knew that this was the TRUMP DOMESTIC TERRORIST ARMY, he was not afraid of his ARMY. Trump wanted to go to the capital and be CROWNED KING and he was mad when it was stopped.

  11. Cassidy Hutchinson set an example for all Republicans and Democrats to follow. If you are a public servant and not watching and learning from Cassidy resign immediately. THIS IS HOW A PUBLIC SERVANT SHOULD ACT.

  12. Top take away "NONE" Agents already said "Never happened" No one is watching these and no one cares.

  13. They should interview the secret service men that was assaulted in the beast limo by Trump and where he wanted to head to which was the capitol.

  14. In light of the realistic comment from Chuck Rosenburg about the thousands of hours of unheard information, all the more reason for the committee to quit playing games and turn their date over to the DOJ. Primary elections are ongoing now and we see people like Boebert, and others endorsed by 45 winning their elections. If nothing is changing MAGA minds, at the very least, we need to put the major players in prison as soon as possible, to threaten others enough to get them to stop.

  15. The Democratic Establishment was rocked enough to want to eliminate any future coup attempts from any source. Eliminate the opposition at home and help friends and allies eliminate their opposition abroad.
    Next person who attempts a coup better have the whole Joint Chief of Staff on their side. That is if the coup is an internal one.
    But if the coup is not an internal faction seeking power but the ones in power are rocked by outside pressure a coup can develop as history shows. Power from them to some element they do not know can unseat their political perch. This is where intelligence comes in. Law enforcement is beefed up, stacked with cutting edge technology, to locate sources of potential groups who could in the event social pressure is so great can take power from the Establishment. Supreme Court did not help to ease this worry for the Washington Establishment, the court went rogue on abortion and created a potential source of social pressure that will punish the democrats for lack of action. Desperate democrats will seize to take advantage of this social crisis emerging. Their campaigns will look fake as it is fake authenticity to have to turn into a political campaign what people remember they had a long time to codify this right and had not is an Achilles Heel to their aims. But what if social pressure gave a particular group power which in the mind of Americans unfamiliar with the history of coup d état happened in Russia, an event that gave birth to the Washington Establishment in trouble in the US as I write? The social power that giveth the coup taketh away the coup…after all, the Washington Establishment, republican and democrat combined, is a coup. Americans call it a ‘Duopoly’, meaning they are the same party complicit with great wealth. A coup of dollars, Americans say, ‘take the money out of government’. Every 80 years a cataclysmic social event has rocked the political world to the ground at the same time every 80 years great personal wealth has eroded the rights of individuals and democracies. Social cataclysms ordering the government to do something about controlling great and powerful economic wealth. The curse of historical events is the end of the 80 year cycle…this is the time when social movements have gotten so large they bring in a new age.

  16. ROE V WADE LOST LOL 💪💪🏻🖕 🥳.. HA Ha. Thank you Trump!

  17. Charges are coming! 🖕🍊

  18. Cassidy reminds me of Col. ALEXANDER VINDMAN.

  19. The only 2 people I know that can grab a steering wheel from the back of a limo are Mister Fantastic and Donald J. Trump

  20. Julie has a big fantasy . check her face when she is talking hahahaha 🤣🤣 she is looking like reading a children's book ..i know a lot of people who served overseas cleaning latreens en kitchens . what a nonsense

  21. Start to write children books they believe your fabels .. check the money flow of this woman i guess Clinton is her beneficiary. What a left news channel yuk

  22. He wanted a riot that would create a national emergency. At that point Mr. Trump could invoke the insurrection act and stop the transfer of power.

  23. Testimony from an individual who was not present, whose sources have already stated that none of that ever happened.
    Keep perpetuating the lie NBC.

  24. 3:30 … Trump wanted to stride into the Senate flanked by armed lunatics and declare Martial law..The lunatics would replace American Law enforcement officers.. Mad Max writ large…

  25. Mary Trump' has said for year's how dangerous Trump' would be when he lost the Presidential election to Joe Biden ,But the truth now coming out how a dangerous and narcissistic and weak Man to have others do his bidding and still doing so, Cowards one and all.

  26. Maybe Trump would have stopped the violence b4 it went on had he gone to the capital, but no, his very security detail refused to take him

  27. A gigantic waste of time.

  28. But yet, nothing will ever happen to anybody

  29. this is much ado about nothing – except to try and smear the GOP in time to salvage some of the damage that is coming in the Fall. Trump's political life is over. GOP needs to move on.

  30. That election integrity defense fund was just a slush fund to pay people off to keep shut. It’s all about the the money and the power , too bad he will never ever ever ever get the respect of a majority of this country

  31. Capital Hill politics reminds me of a dementia old aged care facility … too many white old men and women. Get younger people leading .. like this brave young woman.

  32. If you believe that Joe Biden, who lost two attempted Presidential runs, then on his third attempt, hid in his basement, and refused to campaign, got the most votes in history…You're way too stupid to argue with!
