    Any of the witnesses who were there could have and did speak to anything they witnessed.

    Plenty of others that were there and part of the planning have been invited to testify and refused.

    Others did testify and pleaded the 5th.

    So there has been plenty of opportunities for people to say whatever they did and witnessed.

    They have either refused to answer questions or felt that their answers would incriminate themselves.

    That isn't because they weren't called or not invited. They were.

    It speaks more to the strength of evidence when key participants feel like they can't testify or if they do answer questions, their answers will incriminate them.

    But it simply isn't accurate to claim that they haven't been invited or haven't been allowed to testify. That is simply not true.

    Let's stop with the nonsense about Trump's people not being allowed to speak or have say at the January 6th hearings.

    Trump's people don't want to testify, and Trump doesn't want them to testify. They are guilty and scared of retribution from Trump and his political cronies.

    commodore is upset that the traitorous insurrectionist who is the head of a right-wing extremist paramilitary group of thugs cant dictate the terms of his cooperation.

    and he calls the january 6th committee a "kangaroo court".

    he is more upset that there is an investigation into january 6th insurrection than the actual insurrection. says a lot about what kind of person he is and where his loyalties lie.

    Yeah, it's sad for a couple of reasons.

    1. That people are fed the lie about Trump's people not getting a say or that they weren't allowed to have members on the committee.

    2. That some people believe the lie and try to repeat it and spread it.

    Again, almost all of the witnesses are Trump family members, Trump staffers, or Trump staff who can't answer because their answers will incriminate them.

    That and the fact that other Trump loyalists won't testify just shows how incredibly solid the evidence is.

    I put him on ignore, because you can't have a real debate with someone that deep in denial. It's disturbing to read that nonsense.

    Let's also remember this committee isn't a court of law. They are under no obligation to allow witnesses to present a defense as they can't charge them. Meanwhile there are still media and other sources where those who disagree with the narrative of the committee can and do speak out.

    They were with him the whole time he gave them their cushy jobs though. They were with him in all those coup planning meetings. They are just doing as Daddy now and trying to act like they weren't involved in any coup. The plot was foiled and their cushy jobs are no more.

    Certainly metaphorically, but looking at his stringy hair, and general demenor probably physically as well.

    If any of them have half of a brain cell (and for Tiffany and Eric that's questionable) I think they realize that their Dad would sooner throw them under the bus than be a real parent.

    Also, I'm sure growing up with Trump as their father instilled them with a lot of a cut-throat, ultra competitive mindset. Even though Trump behaves like he's a mob boss...the Trump family doesn't seem like a family the way we think of one traditioanlly. And that seems to go back to even Donald's father.
