Zoals wij bijv. op gezette tijden horen wat nu te zien is op npo 2 of npo3, terwijl naar npo wordt gekeken.
Geen idee maar ze zullen iig niet zelf de aandacht op de hearings vestigen lijkt me.
Wat vreemd is natuurlijk want als die hearings zo'n farce zijn is dat juist voor Fox News een reden om er wél aandacht aan te besteden lijkt me?
Er komen nu talloze tweets van MAGA-politici, Trump's familileden en cronies voorbij die de J6 hearings een scam/ farce/ hoax etc noemen en benadrukken dat het echt NIEMAND interesseert
Intussen hoort de Commissie nog steeds getuigen:
quote:
The Jan. 6 select committee has interviewed the top Secret Service agent on then-President Donald Trump's protective detail during the Capitol attack, according to three people familiar with the probe.
Robert Engel was the special agent in charge on Jan. 6, 2021, meaning he was responsible for protecting the president from "socks on to socks off" -- the whole work day. In that role, he rode from the White House to that day's "Stop the Steal" rally with Trump in the presidential armored car called "The Beast."
Engel was also backstage at the rally and close to the then-president throughout the day as violence unfolded when thousands of pro-Trump rally participants marched to the Capitol to try to disrupt congressional certification of the 2020 election.
Because of that work, Engel has detailed insight on a key select committee focus: how the Secret Service handled the day's chaos.
A Secret Service spokesperson said the agency has cooperated fully with the committee probe.
"Every single member of the Secret Service who was requested by the committee has been provided to them," said Anthony Guglielmi, the agency's communications chief. "We fully support and are cooperating with the committee's work. Employees, documentation, whatever is requested by the committee, we have cooperated with."
Trump was blijkbaar ook al dagen aan het broeden op een mogelijkheid om mee te lopen naar het Capitool:
quote:
A D.C. official on Tuesday confirmed that the Secret Service sought D.C. police for help with a presidential motorcade on Jan. 6.
"We were asked, and the response was no," said Dora Taylor-Lowe, a spokeswoman for the D.C. deputy mayor that oversees the police department.
The testimony, which could be featured during high-profile hearings set to begin this week by the House Jan. 6 committee, indicates that several days before his speech, Trump had been eager to join supporters on a march to the Capitol. No permit had been issued for such a march, although some Trump allies were touting a march on far-right social media platforms as a way to pressure Congress not to certify Biden's election victory.
