Trump continues his silence on the issues being brought forward by the committee. He appears to be acknowledging his guilt as are his colleagues in Congress who also remain silent.
ABC reports, "Former President Donald Trump on Monday responded in a lengthy statement to the House's ongoing Jan. 6 committee hearings, assailing the panel as illegitimate and their presentation as one-sided -- but rather than refute their evidence, he reiterated the same baseless claims about the 2020 presidential election that are at the center of the proceedings and the group's case that he had
attempted a "coup."
"Trump's 12-page statement, sent to reporters on Monday night, comes after the
second public hearing held by the House select committee investigating last year's deadly Capitol attack. His statement, marked by characteristic exclamations and insults, called the hearings "a smoke and mirrors show" that failed to include "all exculpatory witnesses, and anyone who so easily points out the flaws in their story."
"The statement, however, did not directly respond to the specifics laid out by the committee to the public thus far -- including testimony earlier Monday from Trump's inner circle that he knew he had lost the last presidential race and had no legitimate reason to claim widespread fraud, instead choosing to listen to Rudy Giuliani to falsely claim victory over Joe Biden."
Trump is clueless. He has no idea what is happening. Let's examine what he said.
"Their presentation is one-sided." "Failed to include "all exculpatory witnesses, and anyone who so easily points out the flaws in their story."
Trump seems unaware that he refused to appear before the committee to explain his innocence. He is unaware that the Republican leader in the House, Kevin McCarthy, refused to appoint Republicans to the committee. Trump's close associates who could possibly defend him refused to appear before the committee.
"Their presentation is one-sided." "Failed to include "all exculpatory witnesses, and anyone who so easily points out the flaws in their story." Rural Trump Republicans with their limited awareness will believe him. Like Trump, they are clueless.
