Stepien has been released from his subpoena to tend to his wife who is in labor. The committee has video of its witnesses to prepare for such contingencies — if a witness backs out, is sick or has an emergency, I’m told— Manu Raju (@mkraju) June 13, 2022

Still waiting for session to begin, the first witness had to cancel because of a birth in his family.
Today will be about criminal mindset, continuing to show Trump knew he lost the 2020 election, the rest remaining a pilot light for gaslighting.
It begins… Chair Thompson discusses the rule of law and the will of the people. Liz Cheney reminds us of the seven part plan, this part being about the claim of election fraud being nonsense, and the subsequent decision by Trump to subvert the will of the people.
Zoe Lofgren will conduct the questioning today and introduce the witnesses. She describes the grift as beginning in April 2020, attempting to discredit the election in advance.
Bill Stepien’s lawyer is in attendance to answer questions. The tape actually begins with tape of Jarvanka and Jason Miller. Then the taped deposition of Stepien follows.
Drunk Rudy Giuliani seems to have played a role on election night in terms of declaring victory even before ballot counting was completed.
Chris Stirewalt former Fox news political editor is present to answer questions. He responds to questions about whether Trump knew he lost. Stirewalt explains the “Red Mirage” of the difference between mail-in and election day voting. The common place is the tendency of mail-in ballots to favor one party compared to election day voting.
The January 6 select committee hearing is underway and part of today's focus will be the massive Trump campaign fundraising efforts post-election. More than 600 fundraising emails and over 200 texts in the weeks between 11/3/2020 and 1/6/2021, per my count from the time. https://t.co/HJ080zisbl— Betsy Klein (@betsy_klein) June 13, 2022

If Trump knowingly lied about election fraud and sought donations based on that lie he may have also committed mail fraud. #January6thHearings— (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) June 13, 2022

Stirewalt describes how his FoxNews unit (in conjunction with AP & U. of Chicago national opinion poll) was able to forecast the AZ results better in conjunction with their modelling. “Pleased but not surprised” when they called the race in AZ. Stepien concurs with the declining “red mirage” of any GOP lead. Stirewalt loses his job for doing his it too well, reminding us of the 2012 Karl Rove meltdown over the “math” in Ohio.
Stepien makes a distinction between his “normal” team and “Rudy’s team” in terms of perpetuating claims of election fraud
Including Bill Barr’s taped testimony on the “BS” of the fraud claims might appear to vindicate him only if one ignores his role in delaying and distorting the Mueller Report release.
I’ll refer you to the Live blog #2 above: www.dailykos.com/...

"It's not clear that even if you can show harvested . . .courts are not going to throw out votes." Burden to show illegal votes were cast. Absent that, I didn't see courts throwing out votes anyway, said Barr.43/— Jennifer Taub 🌻 🇺🇸 (@jentaub) June 13, 2022

The "team normal" and "team abnormal" designations really come through in the depositions and archive footage. you just have calm straightforward accounts by sober people and then wild-eyed frenetic claims by people like Rudy and Powell who all look juiced-up and manic— Harry Litman (@harrylitman) June 13, 2022

Aside from the main point (there was no election fraud), I am disgusted by the absurd amount of gov't resources that were wasted on #DrunkRudy's completely frivolous allegations.I don't want to hear one more word from the GOP about the cost of this or any other investigation.— Daniel Goldman (@danielsgoldman) June 13, 2022

The hearing ended with some clearly defined elements which will reemerge if prosecution occurs.
Just astounding that a conman & a drunk surrounded by a gang of losers, yesmen & grifters could so change the course of history.This is why Putin invested in Trump, Giuliani, Republicans & right-wing media. They are shamelessly corrupt, thus perfect vehicles to weaken the US. https://t.co/XAVaEBqaUP— 🇺🇦Paula Chertok🗽🇺🇦 (@PaulaChertok) June 13, 2022
