About a week ago, there was yet another smoking gun document trove delivered to us by the Jan. 6 Committee in relation to the Eastman trial. Andrew gives us the full breakdown, including a couple new insurrectionist characters we haven't yet been introduced to. All of this, plus the first primetime Jan 6. Committee hearing is this Thursday! Listen and be primed for what's coming.

I keep hearing that in order to prove that they actually were engaging in sedition/treason/a coup, it needs to be proven that they knew what they were doing was illegal. And they're trying to use the justification that "we honestly believed there was fraud and we were trying to prevent a coup." But can that actually hold up? Analogy: I enter a raffle to win a car, but my neighbor wins instead. I claim there was cheating, the raffle was rigged, that the car actually belongs to me. I go to court to try to get the car given to me, but the court says I have no evidence of cheating. This happens, say, in 60 different court cases. Nevertheless, I strongly believe that I actually won the raffle. I convince a whole bunch of my friends that the raffle was rigged. Then, I convince a whole bunch of my friends to create a diversion outside the building where they're going to be giving away the car, while I get some of my other friends on the raffle committee to ignore the rules of the raffle to give it to me. The friends outside get too roudy and cause property damage and hurt people, while my friends inside fail to get the committee to award the car to me. Under this scenario, it seems like it would be really hard for me to say that, despite losing in court 60 times, I had an honest belief that the car should have been mine. And even if I did, I that I had no idea that my friends would get violent or that I bore any responsibility for their violence. Especially since, if everything had gone my way, I would be walking away with a car that, according to all reasonable people, belonged to my neighbor.
