This is not a court. It is a hearing. trump or his cult have every right to come and testify UNDER OATH to defend any accusations. McCarthy was given the chance to appoint people to the committee. He tried to appoint two people who very well may be witnesses and people who were interested in pardons from the Former POS. He was rebuked and he got mad and decided he did not want to play. You want to compare to a court proceeding? The defense has a right to put on his evidence. In this case, the defense refused to do so and to cooperate. That was a huge mistake.
But this is not a court. The J6 committee cannot indict or charge. They can only refer. The DOJ is watching. I think there will be cracks in the trump wall that will become crevices of gushing information. NO ONE wants to go to jail for trump. Either they come forward now or they could very well be indicted down the road.
What trump did is ten times worse than Nixon. But Nixon had a brain and a conscious. It is doubtful that trump has either. This statement from the J6 Chair should scare trump to death.
"Your attempt to hide the truth from the American people will fail."
