Liz Cheney tells Republicans defending the mutineers, “When Trump leaves, your disgrace will continue.”
Former President Donald Trump attacked after the first hearing of the select committee of the House on January 6 was over.
Trump attacked the committee’s political “pirates” and “thugs” on his own social media platform.
The first hearing concluded Thursday after two hours of testimony on the Capitol’s violent riot.
The explosive revelations made by Reps. Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney included Mr. Trump thinking that then-Vice President Mike Pence “deserved” to hang out while the mutineers sang.
Excerpts from interviews with former Attorney General Bill Barr, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were also played. Barr stated that he told then-President Trump that the idea that the election was stolen was “*** bulls.”
Ms. Trump said she respected his opinion and had accepted it as well.
The audience was shown unseen graphic footage of the Capitol attack that distressed some in the room, followed by an emotional testimony from Officer Caroline Edwards who recalled being injured when the crowd turned violent and the “war zone” that followed.

Capitol cops cry during the hearing
Some of the Capitol police officers present on the day of the attack on the Capitol on January 6 could be seen crying and excited, as the committee on Thursday showed a shocking collection of body camera images and documentary video during the first hearing at the time of maximum hearing on the attack on Congress.
In the video, created by committee chairman Bennie Thompson, members of the U.S. Capitol Police are heard desperately calling for reinforcements as they are brutally attacked by a massive crowd of Trump supporters who see windows smashed, officers beat and fight with metal barricades.

Capitol mutineers beg for mercy just before they hear it
Three Capitol mutineers appeared in court just hours before the January 6 House select committee hearing and asked for mercy from federal judges who decide their punishment for participating in the assault.
The three included Michael Daughtry, a gun shop owner and former police officer arrested about a week after the Capitol Hill attack, and the father-son duo William M. Sywak and William J. Sywak.
“I made a mistake in my life and I immediately took responsibility,” Daughtry told ABC.
“I apologize to the court for my indiscretion. But can’t a person make at least one mistake in his whole life?
“I’m embarrassed,” the young Sywak told Buffalo News.
“I’m very remorseful for what I did,” he said.
“It’s not right that so many police officers were injured.” Of the 820 people arrested and charged in connection with the Capitol insurrection on January 6 last year, 300 pleaded guilty to a series of charges.

House panel to release closed door deposition transcripts
House Select Committee Chair Bennie Thompson has said the panel will publish transcripts of the closed-door statements he conducted in his January 6 insurrection investigation.
“We’ll make it available,” Thompson said in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper after the committee’s first hearing.
He added that the committee planned to cooperate, if requested, with the Justice Department’s investigation into the resurrection, although the committee’s job was not to determine whether crimes had been committed.
The Justice Department had requested the transcripts last month, but the panel refused before Thursday’s hearing.

Voices: Trump was terrified of the January 6 hearings. Tonight has shown that it was justified
There’s a reason Fox News didn’t want to air that audience at prime time. What we saw was the truth about January 6 shown with captivating effectiveness.
What happened that day was not a “tourist visit,” as Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde (GA) put it. It was not a “legitimate political speech,” as the RNC argued. It was not a “party of love,” as Donald Trump excitedly put it. And the responsibility for this does not lie with “everyone in the country,” as minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said just hours before tonight’s hearing. This was a criminal and violent conspiracy to overthrow the American democracy perpetrated by Donald Trump, his allies and national extremist groups. Or, to put it simply as President Bennie Thomson (D-MS) did, January 6 was “the culmination of a coup attempt”: a coup attempt that is far from over. .
