Next hearing of Jan 6 Insurrection on Capitol Hills likely to be a blockbuster #IndiaNEWS #National ,IANS Special Series
By Ashok NilakantanNew York, July 15 (IANS) The next hearing of January 6 insurrection on Capitol Hills is expected to be a blockbuster even as former US President Donald Trump walks free from impeachment by the Senate as it fails to muster 2/3rds majority needed to convict him of a dramatic coup inciting a mob to attack the Congress building.
The Senate failed even as 10 republicans voted against him in the house and 7 in the senate, but fell short of 17 Republican votes to convict him in just one chamber.
The House select committees January 6 hearings have so far exceeded all of our expectations. They have told the American people a gripping story of Trumps attempted coup one packed with new details that seem to have swayed public opinion.
The committees task for its next hearing is to continue confronting its toughest obstacle: amassing conclusive evidence of Trumps intent to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, according to an analyst.
As veterans of congressional investigations with over a half-century of experience between us, our expectations were high before these hearings began. After all, the January 6 committee was addressing the countrys first attempted coup led by a president, the first attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812 and the greatest domestic attack on our democracy and country since the Civil War. There could be no more important topic, he said.
We also had high expectations given the exceptional track record of the committee members, including Reps. Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin, who led the first and second impeachments against Trump; Rep. Zoe Lofgren, whose experience stretches back to Watergate; the incomparable Rep. Liz Cheney; and the decades-long congressional experience of Chairman Bennie Thompson, he added.
The hearings opened with the baseline of a federal judges findings that Trump was likely involved in at least two potential crimes: conspiracy to defraud the US and obstruction of Congress.
The hearings have materially advanced the proof of these offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. In the first five hearings, the committee methodically established that Trump knew he lost the election, with the likes of former Attorney General Bill Barr testifying that he told the former president that his claims of election theft were bulls**t.
The committee showed that Trump sought to procure non-existent votes, with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger testifying about Trumps pressure to get him to find 11,780 votes.
The hearings substantiated Trumps direct involvement in procuring an alternate slate of fraudulent electors through the testimony of live witnesses like Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers and videotaped ones from Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel.
