I watched the entire listening to and pulled out the 14 traces that mattered maximum. They are beneath. (Those are in tough chronological order.)
1. “The Trump marketing campaign criminal crew knew there used to be no reliable argument…to overturn the election, and but President Trump went ahead together with his plan for January 6 anyway.” — Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney
Cheney, the vice chair of the committee, laid out right here the objective of now not simply lately’s listening to but in addition of the wider presentation of the committee: Trump knew he had misplaced, used to be informed he had misplaced on dozens of events and now not simplest refused to simply accept it however actively driven conspiracy theories and different false claims that he knew have been incorrect to fire up his birthday party’s base. Proving that if what sits on the middle of the query as as to if Trump can or will have to be criminally indicted by way of the Justice Division.
2. “Mr. Trump made up our minds sooner than the election…that he would declare it used to be rigged.” — California Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren
3. “The mayor used to be certainly intoxicated.” — former Trump adviser Jason Miller
So, here is what we discovered about election night time 2020 on the White Area from lately’s listening to: a) Former New York Town Mayior Rudy Giuliani confirmed up on the White Area in need of to speak to Trump b) Giuliani used to be, in keeping with Miller, under the influence of alcohol c) Giuliani did finally end up talking to the President, a dialog by which he mentioned Trump will have to claim victory — which the President then did. Wonderful. Shocking.
4. “I do not know that I had a company view of what he will have to say.” — Ivanka Trump
The eldest daughter of the previous President used to be — and is — rather obviously and really sparsely calibrating how her closeness (or lack thereof) to her father following the election is perceived. She, greater than every other witness whose testimony to the January 6 committee now we have noticed, speaks haltingly (and in brief) as she makes an attempt to distance herself from the movements of her father with out him choosing up on what she is doing.
5. “My advice used to be to mention that ‘Votes have been nonetheless being counted. It is too early to inform, too early to name the race however we are happy with the race we ran, and we expect we are in excellent place.'” — former Trump marketing campaign supervisor Invoice Stepien
Stepien, figuring out that there have been quite a bit and a lot of utterly criminal ballots nonetheless to be counted, recommended the President to not claim victory on election night time. As an alternative Trump took the recommendation of the allegedly drunk Giuiliani
6. “Proper out of the field on election night time, the President claimed that there used to be primary fraud underway. I imply, this took place, so far as I may just inform, sooner than there used to be in fact any possible of having a look at proof.” — Lawyer Basic Invoice Barr
Barr used to be the superstar of the second one public listening to, making transparent that he now not simplest believed the election fraud claims to be ridiculous but in addition that he informed Trump of that view on any choice of head to head conversations. This quote, specifically, is deeply damning because it means that Trump used to be claiming fraud even sooner than any considerable choice of votes have been counted.
7. “Very, very, very, very bleak.” — Stepien
This used to be Stepien’s research of the possibilities of Trump profitable because the week after the election wore on. He added that he had informed Trump at that time that the marketing campaign had just a 5-10% probability of profitable.
8. “I did not thoughts being thought to be a part of Workforce Customary.” — Stepien
Stepien drew a stark line between “Workforce Customary” — the ones throughout the marketing campaign who, as time wore on, believed obviously that Trump had misplaced — and the ones on any other crew populated by way of the likes of Giuliani and attorneys like Sidney Powell and John Eastman. Which, smartly, wow.
9. “Now not the way I’d take if I have been you.” — Jared Kushner
After a lot hemming and hawing about whether or not he had spoken to the President about his perspectives of Giuliani, and the trouble to overturn the election effects, Kushner in the end stated that he mentioned this to the President. Trump, clearly, left out him and his recommendation.
10. “The Division does not take aspects within the election, and the dep. isn’t an extension of your criminal crew.” — Barr
The legal professional common informed Trump this in an in-person assembly on November 23, 2020. Trump, neither on this dialog nor sooner than or after it, looked as if it would perceive the Justice Division had lengthy been considered as an impartial group throughout the broader executive.
11. “I informed him that the stuff his other folks have been shoveling out to the general public used to be bullshit.” — Barr
12. “There used to be by no means a sign of pastime in what the real details have been.” — Barr
Barr recounted that sooner than the 2020 election he felt as although he may just convince Trump of details and realities — despite the fact that it, at time, took some time and used to be a little painful for all concerned. After the election, Barr mentioned that each one modified — that Trump used to be merely now not all for any perspective that did not again up his baseless election fraud claims. “After the election he did not appear to be listening,” Barr informed the January 6 committee.
