    That's never a wise decision. Watching the hearings would be much better.

    The bolded part was: "The House is trying to paint a complete picture of what happened."

    This circus is a model kangaroo court. It is not credible. It is not being done with justice in mind. It is a political style mob action towards someone that they hate. Those people and the supporters of this witch hunt do not care about the truth or justice at all, and they are clearly willing resort to anything, no matter how despicable, deceitful, vile or depraved to try to harm the object of their hatred.

    As far as the bolded part in your comments, that is not how a just process operates. Rather, if there is solid evidence of a crime, then the people prosecuting those charges are required to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to "prove" their innocence. All they have to do is show that the prosecutor is wrong. But you people clearly do not care about justice, or truth, or even the consequences of your actions, which I guess when people have lost their moral bearings as completely as you people obviously have, then the mental meltdown that comes with that is complete.

    Under no circumstances should anyone with any integrity, sanity or dignity dignify this depraved and wildly deceitful process by participating in it.

    This is not a criminal trial that needs to prove things beyond a reasonable doubt, just enough to warrant the DOJ bringing charges, and then in that trial for any convictions to happen it would need to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, and the defense would have a chance to prove the prosecutor wrong. And if they don't present sufficient evidence for the DOJ to bring charges, then functionally nothing changes, although it is still nice to have evidence submitted for the court of public opinion. Considering Republicans did a ridiculous amount of that over Benghazi, you can't be too mad at it.

    You are using so many big words to try to make yourself sound smart. I don't think you care about the truth either, I don't think there was ever any world where a committee that said anything critical about Trump would be called anything but "depraved" by you. Republicans for the most part intentionally didn't cooperate because they wanted people like you to call it a kangaroo court, even though it's not even a court. You don't even seem to understand the point of this

    I understand the point of this perfectly well. It is a political hatchet job by the Democrats and a few soon to be unemployed Republicans against someone who they hate and despise. It is as simple as that. As if that is not bad enough, there is clearly nothing too low, depraved or despicable for these people to resort to.

    Now they have brought in a woman at the end who reminds me a lot of Christine Blasey Ford and her despicable and blatantly deceitful testimony during the Kavanaugh witch hunt. Let me guess, you had no problem with that national disgrace either. Well, this abuse of power by the Democrats in congress is another national disgrace.

    Elections in November. What is that, four months?

    I assume you feel Watergate was a waste of time also? The "committee" is trying to get to the bottom of this by bringing in people who were there, they cant help that unpatriotic people who lie, cheat and steal wont come forward and talk (like Flynn), there turning over every rock possible but your mind is already made up. Most of us want to see how this happened so it wont happen again.......but go ahead and call it a sham, your right in line with fox news and trumpers..........your much better articulating your thoughts by posting cartoons

    Republicans were invited to seat people on the committee and refused to do it. Ridiculous that they are crying about it now.

    The witnesses are not hateful of Trump. They were and are Trump supporting Republicans.

    You cry about Hutchison's testimony being unreliable, yet there is only one uncentral point in all of her testimony that anyone is denying is true and nobody under oath is denying it.

    The fact that in all the testimony and evidence provided by Trump supporting Republicans this this superfluous comment is all the Trump defenders can point to, and they often do it dishonestly, trying to make look like Hutchinson claimed the incident happend speaks volumes to how strong the evidence from the committee is.

    The unpatriotic people who lie cheat and steal are the ones conducting and promoting these hearings. Case closed.

    They refused to seat people on the committee because they knew this would be conducted like a soviet show trial. That concern has been born out, and the reality of it is probably worse than what Kevin McCarthy feared. He was right not to participate in this farce.

    They refused to seat people on the committee because they were potential subjects of the investigation and the case of Jordan sought a pardon. The Republicans had one hundred or more members they could have chosen.

    Again not a farce by the lack of substance you or any other Trump defenders can point to.

    They did not do anything. Some people who were not at Trump's rally went into the capital after the police stood aside and let them in and a few of them behaved badly, engaging in acts of trespass and vandalism. These people were not led by Trump and anyone who says otherwise is a lying liar. As far as this being an "insurrection," it clearly was not. This whole thing is a permanent black mark on the Democrat party and on their leadership of Congress. Hopefully after November, they will not hold that position again for a very long time.

    Trump invited the people before the 6th. They met beforehand and planned how they would breach the capitol. They stationed themselves prior to Trump's speech because that's what they planned to do.

    That's part of the evidence you nor any Trump defenders have been able to counter.

    It was documented evidence in the hearings. Both documents and Trump witnesses.

    You are free to call me a liar but it doesn't change the evidence.

    This is why the hearings have been so damning for Trump. You have nothing to refute that evidence.

    No one with honesty or integrity can support Donald Trump you have to be a special kind of attention w****/idiot to ignore all the facts about him and his attempt to overthrow our democracy.

    If you still support Trump you need help, big time.

    Hearsay is not evidence. And with that, the so-called "evidence" is refuted,

    The documentation and witness testimony about the pre-planning and stationing of insurrectionists prior to Trump's speech wasn't hearsay.
