exposure, but also needs to be presented during the impeachment proceedings as evidence of his complicity

The video was made just before trump’s urging his supporters to go at the capital to stop the election certification

3. Absolutely

I had a friend who is a prosecutor tell me that yesterday.

4. Sigh. One more time. That video was from BEFORE TRUMP'S SPEECH, and NOT from any time after

the Capitol was stormed.


We know from news stories that Trump was at the White House when the Capitol was stormed, but there's no video of him watching the coverage at that time, though he was reportedly excited about what was happening and unable to understand why those around him didn't share his delight.

The video that's been circulating online of the Trump family was from a tent next to the stage for the rally, before Trump's speech, while music was playing.

6. This post above is important

We need to keep repeating this. Thanks highplainsdem!

[highplainsdem]

13. You're welcome, and thank you!

8. Thanks. Yes, and I just changed the OP to note that, but it demonstrates they intended to

incite the crowd to attack the capital

[highplainsdem]

10. Actually, it's the speeches from Giuliani and Junior and Trump that were inciting the crowd to

attack the Capitol.

All this video shows, really, is that they were really thrilled with the crowd size, and also enjoying the music. (And I hate that Trump has used some of my favorite old songs so much that I might never be able to hear them again without thinking of him.)

It really ISN'T good for Democrats, let alone the media, to be circulating this video and mislabeling it.

Even Ali Velshi did that this morning on MSNBC.

It makes us look silly.

I wish so much that we DID have video of Trump watching the coverage of the assault on the Capitol. But we don't.

Nor have I heard anything about whether any of his kids were with him after he went back to the White House after his speech. I haven't heard anything about his kids' reaction to the violence at the Capitol, while they watched it.

25. Important post, thank you

9. Thanks I kept looking at the monitors in the videos for proof

that it happened at the same time as the insurrectionists entering the Capitol. Sadly we don't have video of that - just cowards that won't give their name saying Trump was celebrating. We can't wait for the fucking book.

[highplainsdem]

14. I was checking on a livestream of the rally for more than an hour before Trump's speech, and it was

impossible not to recognize the music played then. I'd assumed the tents behind the stage were for VIPs.

[GemDigger]

15. It was immediately before. The last thing jr says is

"I think we're at t minus a couple of seconds here guys so check it out, tune in and we got a live stream.." Try as I might, I cannot take that last comment and think that the two are unrelated.

The left screen was them watching the riot, the right screen was his stage.

[highplainsdem]

16. Again, they were watching the rally crowd, not the riot, which did not start until people marched on

the Capitol after Trump's speech.

[GemDigger]

19. You are right. I am wrong.

[highplainsdem]

22. No, it's easy to be mistaken when the video's been mislabeled so often online. I knew when it

happened mostly because I was watching a livestream of the rally while doing chores -- well, mostly listening to it -- and I couldn't help noticing they played "Gloria" twice, the second time just before Trump's speech (which followed a very long delay after the speeches from Junior and Giuliani).

[highplainsdem]

18. Here's YouTube video of the rally and speech. At about 2 hrs 30 minutes in the song "Gloria"

is playing, the song you're hearing in the video filmed in the tent.

As soon as that song ends. Trump is introduced and Lee Greenwood's "Proud to Be An American" is played.

17. +1 Accuracy is important. n/t

[StarfishSaver]

21. The actual facts are more than enough to condemn these people and stir our outrage

We don't need to make up additional things.

[Hortensis]

5. Any and all evidence! I only regret these contemptible worms are

shown partying to Laura Branigan's "Gloria." Her estate's of course outraged.

7. Glad they Got them on vid!

11. I don't care whether this video was before the rally or after the invasion of Congress

They were celebrating their belief that they were about to prevent Biden from becoming President, to successfully overthrow the legislative branch of the US government, to slaughter people in those buildings and rule indefinitely.

Lock them the fuck up!

[still_one]

12. Exactly

[kcr]

26. Yes! Thank you.

Plus I think Jr's T minus comment meant they knew exactly what was about to happen. This wasn't a tape of people waiting around in the green room/tent for their time on the stage. They were pumped up for the real show.

[malaise]

27. You are 100% correct

Lock them up!

[StarfishSaver]

20. This wasn't a video of them watching the attack on the Capitol

They were back at the White House by the time that happened. This was them in the president's holding tent at the rally watching the pre-program.

Still disgusting, but not the same thing.

23. Edited the OP. Thanks
