1. Thanks so much for thread wrangling today, underpants!

[underpants]

2. No problem

I’m not watching CSPAN anymore as I have to go mobile with my laptop.

[pandr32]

3. Appreciated

[ancianita]

4. Now we witness what the "brick-by-brick" for seditious insurrection becomes visually.

The footage I've seen before already feels heavier, darker than it has seemed before today.

As they watch, or avoid watching, the 44 had better reconsider their oath of office and their trial oath.

The 44 should screw their courage to the oath sticking test, and trust law enforcement to take care of those they fear after they vote to convict.

I hope that every single one of the 44 who vote 'not guilty' feel the evil of oath breaking they do.

5. Starting Back up! Plaskett up!

: Oh, dear gawd...trump’s attorneys will also get 16 hours.

[ancianita]

6. I'll go into a toxic coma and think I'll be skipping most of it.

[Lars39]

7. I'm going to think twice about it myself

Those two messed with my BP.

[bdamomma]

8. when after this???

I will listen to Randi Rhodes if those amateurs come on.

[Lars39]

11. Plaskett and 1 other...then dinner break, I think

Not sure after that

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. Local broadcast PBS, here: KET-2. Local broadcast ABC, not on Fox. Local NBC & CBS off-air.

[IcyPeas]

10. great graphics with the red dot showing where they are in the building.

[BumRushDaShow]

12. I knew there were fisheye cameras

and now we are seeing them.

OMFG this is devastating.

[underpants]

15. Whaaaaaa?

Thanks. I’ll have to check that out later

[Mersky]

13. Whoa. Officer Goodman told Mitt Romney to turn and go away from the rioters entering the lower floor

Romney turns and runs.

[BeyondGeography]

14. Have to say, Mitt moves pretty well for an old dude

[mucifer]

16. that vulture capitalist didn't want to die

[IcyPeas]

18. I hadn't heard this before. too bad it wasn't hawley or one of the other republicans

[Mersky]

17. Clip of this section (updated)

Starts after returning from the recess. There’s so much footage, that it is difficult to clip individual segments. I will update with more as new, eh, copy is available.

[Lars39]

19. Plaskett is excellent at presentation.

[IcyPeas]

20. jesus christ they must have been terrified

[Mersky]

21. "They're pounding on doors trying to find her."

Is what a staffer whispered to police over the phone.

[marlakay]

22. I didn't realize how close they were to

Nancy and Mike.

Makes me sick they will let Trump get away with this like everything else.

[bdamomma]

38. They should not

let him get away with it at all. Watching on Y Tube WP Live.

There was not one peep from the Senate.

[Roland99]

23. The closing argument for impeachment needs to be a barn burning, "HAVE YOU NO SHAME" tirade!!

[Lars39]

24. Swalwell up!

[IcyPeas]

25. they were so close to pence and pelosi's staff: (clip)

Wow. Security footage I haven't seen before lays out just how close the Trump mob came to having an opportunity to get their hands on Mike Pence

Plaskett presents security footage of Pelosi staffers rushing to barricade themselves in an office as rioters close in. Then, just minutes later, rioters start throwing themselves against the office doors.

[lindysalsagal]

26. "We want trump" says it all.

[IcyPeas]

27. "I feel ill. This is horrifying. And the indifference to this is even more horrifying"

this is how I am feeling too.

Link to tweet

[crickets]

37. Same. "Turn on gas. Seal them in"

It sounds like the insurrectionists came way more prepared than has been generally reported. This wasn't just about baseball bats and pocket knives. Some of them were prepared to murder groups at at time if they could find them.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. That picture of Reps. Crow and Wild.

Wow.

[Lars39]

29. That footage of the barricaded door...

“He’s got a gun!”

[lindysalsagal]

30. Here we go: someone on the inside was directing the mob

As they attacked. Who was it?

[IcyPeas]

31. "We love you," trump said to this mob

Link to tweet

[mucifer]

32. thing is he doesn't they are just his pawns

[lindysalsagal]

33. Very hard to believe no legislators were killed.

Amazing they didn't set fire to the building.

[IcyPeas]

34. it's unbelievable how long this went on for.

[bdamomma]

41. Help

was held back. Which caused more death and chaos.

[malaise]

35. Dinner recess n/t

[Lars39]

36. Swalwell ended...Showing officer getting crushed

Heave ho...just chilling

[IcyPeas]

39. "Few terrorist attacks in history have been so clearly documented through audio and video."

Few terrorist attacks in history have been so clearly documented through audio and video.

[mucifer]

40. Think of how little footage there was of 9/11 no cell phone video

[Hermit-The-Prog]

42. KET-2 (local PBS broadcast station) is replaying all of it.

[dweller]

43. Will there be continued coverage after dinner break ?

Not sure PBS will be


✌🏻

[KewlKat]

44. i've missed most of today's coverage. Any place I can watch to catch up?

[underpants]

45. CSPAN let's you watch from the beginning I think

It’s been really riveting. Very well done.

[mucifer]

52. yeah that's where I'm watching it

[IcyPeas]

53. Im loving this timeline of what trump was doing while this was going on

[Lars39]

54. Cicilline pointing out trump did nothing to stop it

[Mersky]

55. As protestors smashed thru windows of the Capitol, tRump only cared about stopping the certification

Slide:

As riot raged at Capitol, Trump tried to call senators to overturn election
By Sunlen Serfaty, Devan Cole and Alex Rogers, CNN
Updated 9:30 PM ET, Fri January 8, 2021

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani both mistakenly made calls to Republican Sen. Mike Lee as deadly riots were unfolding at the US Capitol earlier this week, a spokesman for the senator confirmed to CNN -- calls that were intended for another GOP senator the White House was frantically trying to convince to delay the counting of Electoral College votes.

Lee's spokesman said the calls from Trump and his attorney were intended for Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a newly elected Republican from Alabama.

[crickets]

56. trump threw pence under the bus more than once that day.

Both in the speech, and by tweet while the insurrection was underway. That's just cold as hell.

[Mersky]

57. Rep Gallagher (R) to CNN -- "The pResident needs to call it off. Call. It. Off."

Said he hadn’t seen anything like this since his deployment to Iraq.

[Mersky]

58. tRump made no mention of the National Guard or assisting the police under siege at the Capitol.

“tRump left everyone in this Capitol for dead.”

[dweller]

59. Mike Lee

is a dick

that is all

✌🏻

[mucifer]

60. gave fox and newsmax a nice talking point

[bdamomma]

62. So what

is this all about??? Watching MSNBC. Why shouldn't they House Managers use Repigs own words.

[dweller]

67. It was a quote from a newspaper report

Lee said it was a lie
Everything has been stricken for now, vote cancelled
Can debate it tomorrow if needed, adjourned for the nite

Lee still a dick, no vote needed there

✌🏻

[Mersky]

61. Ugh. tRump-republicons have to be procedural dicks

mike lee takes objection to various statements about him

Eta: Claire McCaskill on MSNBC is explaining that lee doesn’t have the power to ask that something he doesn’t like be striken from the record.

[bdamomma]

66. can I call

him a "snowflake".

[Mersky]

68. Sure, snowflake also applies

I mean, he shoulda taken that up with CNN if it wasn’t true. Of all that went on today, his feewings were hurt by that?! Gah.

[crickets]

69. Not only that, Lee's tone was way out of line.

There was no excuse for making such a scene. I will say Leahy's response seemed a bit confused, but that was no reason to berate him that way. It was extremely disrespectful. If Lee was trying to score points, he failed and came off looking like a child.

[Mersky]

70. Yeah, he's got the indignant spoiled brat routine down pat

It’s one of his specialties, then there’s the “mean dads in bleachers” on his side of the aisle to make extra noise. It’s all so gross.

Whew, what a day - I’m exhausted, but gosh, the Senators and Managers must be another level of spent.

[lindysalsagal]

63. Claire McCaskill just explained

The Senate is voting to sustain or object to the chair's decision to refuse to strike Mike Lee's attributions. It doesn't matter. MSNBC is ignoring it and discussing today's events.

[lindysalsagal]

65. Adjourned

[mucifer]

64. That's a messy way to end the day.

[IcyPeas]

71. Thanks again for the threads underpants.

See you tomorrow

[DeminPennswoods]

73. A couple really interesting points made on MSNBC

last night.

Neal Katyal talked about the evidence and said there was real evidence of the commission of crimes by Trump, not just impeachable omission. He felt like Merrick Garland would not have an easy decision about whether or not to investigate Trump.

Sheldon Whitehouse said that when he heard the part about the calls to Tuberville that Trump and Giuliani made, he thought about Trump needing a window of time into which the mob he set upon the Capitol could act. He said if there'd been no objections, the certification might well have been done before the rioters made it to the Capitol. He wondered if any other calls had been made to others in order to delay the proceedings enough to allow the mob time to get to the Capitol and disrupt the vote certification.
