So, So, I watched live on my TV the entire day of J-6 from 0900 in Spokane All Day long until 0300 January seventh when the Election results were fully certified. I watched the Speech by Trump, the March to the Capitol, and the Coup and the certification. The hearing today was Obscene gaslighting

So, So, The Republicans today on the Judiciary Really really were out of touch with the reality of Donald Trump's Mental health status and the Big Lie!! Special Prosecutor Smith Gutted any premise of Him being other than a most highly motivated person. It did give full venting of Trump's crimes.
