NEW J6 HEARING SCHEDULED FOR TODAY (TUESDAY 6/28) @ 1 PM/NOON CENTRAL
The New York Times
Jan. 6 Panel Abruptly Sets Tuesday Hearing on ‘Recently Obtained Evidence’
Luke Broadwater and Maggie Haberman
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol on Monday abruptly scheduled a hearing for Tuesday afternoon to hear what the panel called “recently obtained evidence” and take witness testimony.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack has held a series of hearings this month laying out the findings of its nearly yearlong investigation.
The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m., according to a news release issued by the committee, in which it provided no other details about the surprise session.
The panel has held a series of hearings this month laying out the findings of its nearly yearlong investigation, but it had not been scheduled to have any additional sessions this week, with no legislative action planned and lawmakers scattered across the country.
Jan. 6 hearing could reveal explosive new evidence
The panel has continued to gather evidence and record interviews with witnesses even as it presents its hearings. At the end of each hearing, lawmakers often issue calls for more witnesses to come forward.
In recent days, the committee obtained and has been poring over hours of footage shot by a documentary filmmaker who was embedded with President Donald J. Trump, his family and members of his inner circle immediately before, during and after the riot.
But aides refused to divulge what additional evidence they planned to present on Tuesday or who would be testifying, saying that the panel was concerned for the security of its witnesses.
The committee had been planning at least two more hearings for July, according to its chairman, Representative Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi. Those hearings were expected to detail how a mob of violent extremists attacked the Capitol and how Mr. Trump did nothing to call off the violence for more than three hours.
Previous hearings have focused on the pressure campaigns Mr. Trump launched against the Justice Department, state officials and his own vice president, as he sought to cling to power. -

Poor kid can't handle her emotions or understand the reasoning behind what's going on sometimes and will totally freak out.
My girlfriend does a great job getting her to focus and calm down while explaining whatever is going on to her.
Lately at bedtime the kid has been fighting laying down and once in bed will cream for her mommy in the hopes of getting to get back out of bed.
This weekend at a gas station on the way to a splash pad my girlfriend ran inside while the kid and I stayed in the car.
The kid wanted to go inside though but it just wasn't our main goal.
It was only for a couple minutes but the kid said "I need to go potty" and knowing how well she has been doing potty training I immediately got out and ran around the car, got her unbuckled and up on my hip when she put her hands on my face and with a smirk said "I don't have to go potty".
She manipulated the situation because she knew when she says she has to go potty she gets to go inside.
I immediately informed her that what she did was lie and I began putting her back in her car seat during which time she started with the full blown meltdown mode.
I did what I have seen my girlfriend do many times and I calmly talked to her about it and explained that she wasn't getting her way by doing what she did.
I was pretty frustrated and went to get back in the drivers seat by which time my girlfriend was already coming out of the store.
I dinged some black guy's Chevy Malibu with my car door while trying to explain to my girlfriend why her kid was crying and screaming.
the black guy was pretty cool about it and we took off.
Then later this weekend she wasn't getting her way about something and began to cry and throw a tantrum demanding to see her daddy because mommy wasn't giving in and once she realized she couldn't see her daddy she started working on me thinking I'd provide a different result.
Sometimes it gets frustrating and hurts your heart when the kid is upset but I've been doing a little research here and there on how best to deal with these episodes and I think what my girlfriend has been doing has been appropriate and providing intended results.
There hasn't been much I've been able to read that my girlfriend hasn't already been doing and that makes me feel good.
I try to support her and do what she does in hopes it works for me too.
I just wanted to rant.

We must not be afraid to prosecute Trump
John M. Crisp, Tribune News Service
In the face of growing evidence that former President Donald Trump violated laws and the Constitution in his effort to stay in office after the 2020 election, should he be prosecuted?
This is the wrong question.
The right question is: Are we able to justify NOT prosecuting him?
The answer seems obvious: In a nation that aspires to operate according to the rule of law, if one breaks the law, one must be held to account.
In fact, you and I, ordinary citizens, reasonably expect that if we get caught breaking the law, we will be prosecuted.
But a former president isn’t an ordinary citizen. There are reasons to hesitate before bringing charges against Trump.
For one thing, prosecuting political rivals is the most basic instinct of authoritarians. For example, just before the 2020 election, President Trump publicly pressured Attorney General William Barr to bring charges against Obama-era officials that Trump accused — without evidence — of spying on his campaign.
And few elements of Trump’s presidency are more unseemly, threatening and less American than Trump and his subalterns leading chants at his rallies of “Lock her up! Lock her up!”
So prosecuting political rivals — no matter how guilty they are — is a path that Democrats must tread very cautiously.
Further, prosecuting Trump will do nothing to reconcile our deeply divided body politic. A surprising number of Americans share with Trump his delusion that the election was stolen. Many of them have not watched the testimony before the Jan. 6 House committee. Many are angry and well-armed. Many are uninterested in the evidence against Trump and are bound to see any attempt to prosecute him as a purely political attack.
Do we really want to prod that disgruntled sleeping bear?
But, again, the question is not whether we should prosecute Trump. The question is: How do we fail to prosecute him and still call ourselves a nation of laws?
The evidence against Trump becomes clearer at every Jan. 6 hearing. Against the counsel of his advisers — except Rudy Giuliani — Trump mounted a systematic, if somewhat clumsy, campaign to overturn the 2020 election. Jan. 6 House committee chair Bennie Thompson used the apt term “coup” to describe Trump’s attempt to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to delay the certification of the Electoral College votes, the brazen effort to submit false rosters of electors from battleground states, the effort to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes and Trump’s incitement of a mob to march on the Capitol and “fight like hell.”
Trump’s defenders note that the coup didn’t succeed; Joe Biden was duly inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2021. Perhaps, in the interest of national comity, it would be better to judge Trump “not guilty” by reason of ineptitude and move on.
The problem, of course, is that the coup is still in motion. Trump has yet to concede the election, and a staggering number of Republicans still argue that the election was stolen. Republicans are running for office on that lie and are making organized efforts to install election deniers in positions of power. The coup that failed may have much better prospects in 2024.
The metaphors are a bit overused, but I cannot think of better ones: Trump Republicans are playing hardball. They’ve taken the gloves off. The thirst for power is clearly illustrated by the maneuvers that resulted in the overturning of Roe v. Wade last week. Democrats are terribly naïve to think that Republicans devoted to Trump will hesitate to use any measure, democratic or not, to acquire a firm hold on all branches of government.
Our republic’s founding required courage. If the revolution of 1776 had failed, as Ben Franklin put it, “most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” The Founders’ lives were on the line.
But maintaining our republic requires courage, as well. Democracy is not for the faint-hearted. If our republic is to survive, power must be met with power. In the case of Trump, Democrats have the force of law and justice behind them. They must not be afraid to use it. -

'A criminal investigation is warranted': CNN legal analyst changes mind on Trump liability after J6 hearings
Raw Story
By Brad Reed
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has long been skeptical that criminal charges will be brought against former President Donald Trump for his attempts to stay in power despite losing the 2020 presidential election.
However, after Thursday's House Select Committee hearings on Trump's efforts to strongarm the United States Department of Justice into declaring the 2020 election "corrupt," Toobin has changed his mind.
During a panel discussion on CNN about the hearings, host John Berman asked Toobin if they had shifted his thinking at all about the possibility of hitting Trump with criminal charges.
"I would say I'm less skeptical," Toobin said. "A criminal investigation is so different from a congressional investigation that, you know, just a few stray comments in a congressional hearing is not enough to, you know, say that there's a criminal case here. But yesterday, when you saw the totality of President Trump's behavior, it certainly looked like a criminal investigation was warranted at the minimum and, you know, we will see about a prosecution."
Former top DOJ officials testified under oath on Thursday that Trump told them to declare the 2020 election "corrupt" even though they had found no significant evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election. They also testified that Trump had nearly appointed loyalist Jeffrey Clark to be acting attorney general before they all threatened mass resignations that would have left the department decapitated. -

Jan. 6 Panel Says It Has New Evidence of Trump’s Pressure on Justice Dept.
Luke Broadwater
WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol plans to unveil new evidence on Thursday about how President Donald J. Trump tried to manipulate the Justice Department to help him cling to power after he lost the 2020 election, aides said on Wednesday.
At its fifth public hearing this month, scheduled for 3 p.m. on Thursday, the panel plans to hear testimony from three former top Justice Department officials who are expected to lay out the ways in which Mr. Trump tried to misuse the attorney general’s office to overturn his defeat, an extraordinary instance of a president interfering with the nation’s law enforcement apparatus for his own personal ends.
Committee aides said the panel would detail how Mr. Trump unsuccessfully pushed department officials to falsely declare that there was widespread fraud in the election, file lawsuits to benefit his campaign and appoint a conspiracy theorist as a special counsel to investigate the election. It will also trace his failed efforts to send false letters to state officials to subvert the election results and, finally, to replace the acting attorney general, who refused to go along with his plans.
Mr. Trump ultimately backed off after agency officials threatened mass resignations, but the committee is presenting his actions as a critical strand in a multilayered effort by the former president to subvert the election.
The witnesses scheduled to testify are Jeffrey A. Rosen, the former acting attorney general; Richard P. Donoghue, the former acting deputy attorney general; and Steven A. Engel, the former assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel.
Representative Adam Kinzinger, Republican of Illinois and a member of the committee, is expected to play a central role in the questioning of witnesses and presentation of evidence. He has hinted that the hearing could reveal more information about members of Congress who sought pardons after Jan. 6.
The story of how Mr. Trump attempted to intervene in the workings of the Justice Department to keep himself in office has been well documented by both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Jan. 6 committee, but aides to the House inquiry said Thursday’s hearing will contain new revelations.
Fifth Jan. 6 hearing to focus on Trump’s alleged pressuring of Justice Dept. officials
Time and again, department officials told Mr. Trump after the election that his claims of widespread fraud were false, and prompted him to back down from some of his most extreme propositions.
One dramatic moment came in an Oval Office meeting on Jan. 3, 2021, when Jeffrey Clark, a little-known department lawyer who had been strategizing about how to keep Mr. Trump in power, suggested that the agency issue a legal opinion to Vice President Mike Pence advising him as to what actions he could take during the joint session of Congress set for three days later, when lawmakers were to meet for the official electoral count that would confirm Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory.
“That’s an absurd idea,” Mr. Engel interjected, according to testimony he provided to the committee. “It is not the role of the Department of Justice to provide legislative officials with legal advice on the scope of their duties.”
Mr. Trump then spoke up and told the Justice Department officials, who repeatedly told him his claims of widespread fraud were false, that they were not to speak to Mr. Pence.
“Nobody should be talking to the vice president here,” Mr. Trump said, according to Mr. Engel.
Mr. Trump would go on to repeatedly push Mr. Pence to try to overturn the election results.
Also at that meeting, Mr. Trump proposed firing Mr. Rosen, who was advising him that the 2020 election was not stolen, and replacing him with Mr. Clark, who was willing to do his bidding.
“Sir, I would resign immediately,” Mr. Donoghue spoke up, according to a deposition he gave. “There is no way I’m serving one minute under this guy,” he said of Mr. Clark.
Mr. Trump then turned to Mr. Engel and said, “Steve, you wouldn’t resign, would you?” Mr. Engel replied: “Absolutely I would, Mr. President. You’d leave me no choice.”
The Justice Department officials were also witnesses to interactions between Pat A. Cipollone, the White House counsel, and Mr. Trump. The committee has called for Mr. Cipollone to testify publicly, but he has so far refused.
Mr. Cipollone pushed back against a plan put forward by Mr. Clark, who wanted to distribute official letters to multiple state legislatures falsely alerting them that the election may have been stolen and urging them to reconsider certified election results.
“That letter that this guy wants to send — that letter is a murder-suicide pact,” Mr. Cipollone told Mr. Trump, according to Mr. Donoghue. “It’s going to damage everyone who touches it. And we should have nothing to do with that letter. I don’t ever want to see that letter again.”
The panel is planning at least two more hearings for July, according to its chairman, Representative Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi. Those sessions are expected to detail how a mob of violent extremists attacked Congress and how Mr. Trump did nothing to call off the violence for more than three hours. -

U.S. Justice Dept delivers subpoenas in Trump fake electors probe, reports say
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. federal agents delivered grand jury subpoenas on Wednesday to multiple people as part of a probe into efforts by ex-President Donald Trump and his supporters to overturn the result of the 2020 election, the Washington Post and the New York Times reported.
The Justice Department is investigating a plan by Trump and his supporters to submit alternative slates of state electors to reverse President Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election.
The Post and the Times reported subpoenas were handed to Brad Carver, a Georgia Republican Party official, and Thomas Lane, an official who worked on behalf of Trump's campaign in Arizona and New Mexico.
Trump’s alleged campaign of intimidation to overturn the 2020 election
The Post said Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer also received a subpoena. The Times reported that Sean Flynn, a Trump campaign aide in Michigan, was handed a subpoena.
The FBI referred questions about the Post and Times reports to the office of the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, which declined to comment.
Carver and Shafer could not immediately be reached for comment. Shafer's attorney has said previously that his client did not act improperly. Reuters was not able to immediately contact Lane and Flynn.
