President Donald Trump’s decision to ignore defense officials and encourage rioters during the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, undermined both his standing as commander-in-chief and American democracy, former administration officials testified on Thursday night.

Thank you for bringing this subject to the forefront, SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL, In my view, having seen the on-the-spot news videos of the January 6th Protest and heard & saw first person witnesses to the Protest, this January 6th commission is by far a one-sided farce in my view... There has been no cross examination of anyone who was asked to report... It is all left wing B.S. This is all Politics in an attempt to prevent former President Trump from running for President again... All this commission is doing is spending money like it's water in the process... What the radical left is doing sickens me as an American Citizen and a USAF Veteran... I know many of you will not agree with me and that's okay... I was once a Dem and backed them to the hilt in my early adult years, but today's Democrat party has lost their marbles across the board imho...

If, as you say, it is all "left wing BS, then why are the majority of witnesses Republicans?

MSG Stan Hutchison - The left used an outside company to basically choreograph the video... It was the same with the left's attempt at impeaching Trump early in his term of office... Why was there not anyone allowed to cross examine those who provided information? Those who were chosen to speak were only questioned about elements where the responses would be negative against Trump.

I am right with you Sir every step of the way on that one. I followed the same path but had enough common sense to see the Party's movement toward the Left so I left!

Sgt (Join to see) ....and why were certain Republicans removed from the Committee and why weren't the Secret Service Agents brought in to testify or the hear say from a clerk, or whatever she was, trying to make a name for herself taken as gospel and the list goes on. What a joke and hopefully everyone of those Committee members will be voted out of office.
