CSPAN3, for those who have access to that cable channel, is broadcasting live as are other free/cable news broadcast outlets.
For those without a TV and/or who are unable to watch (if at work or home or if traveling, etc but have a mobile device with internet access), here are a few of what are many streams that can be used to view/listen to today's session, including the J6 Committee's own stream on YouTube (the major broadcast - ABC, NBC, CBS, and cable networks CNN, MSNBC, etc., and print - WaPo, WSJ, etc., usually air and/or stream these hearings as well) . If you have a local or nearby Public Radio station, they will often broadcast the audio on those stations using NPR's feed -

(25,981 posts)Kelly Meggs: Florida Man, Oath Keepers Leader Charged in Capitol Riots
The U.S. Department of Justice announced Friday, February 19, 2021 that Meggs was indicted in the riots, along with eight other people that belong to the Oath Keepers. Meggs, 52, was arrested in Ocala, Florida following the filing of a superseding indictment. Also charged were Graydon Young, 54, of Englewood, Florida, Kelly Meggs wife, Connie Meggs, 59, of Dunnellon, Florida, Laura Steele, 52, of Thomasville, North Carolina, Sandra Ruth Parker, 62, and Bennie Alvin Parker, 70, both of Morrow, Ohio. Young was arrested Monday in Tampa, Florida, Connie Meggs was arrested along with Kelly Meggs Wednesday in Ocala, Steele was arrested Wednesday in Greensboro, North Carolina, and the Parkers were arrested Thursday. The indictment details evidence of the groups plot and text messages between its members.
Kelly Meggs allegedly wrote a post on Facebook in late December, which said Trump wants us to make it wild and told people to pack their bags for Washington, DC, planning to have between 50,000 to 100,000 people attending, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case. [more]

Case Number:

Charge(s):
Seditious conspiracy and other charges. See accompanying indictment that was filed 1/12/2022. The case now has a new case number, as indicated.

(32,645 posts)... he would have been fired just as Bill Barr was fired.
How does Cipollone explain the fact that he wasn't fired? He says he quit on January 6th. I don't think he was such a hero, and I don't believe he stood up to Chump.
Mike Pence told Chump "no" right to his face and that took some courage.
I'm taking Cippollone's testimony with a grain of salt because I don't believe he contradicted Chump at all. I think he sat in his chair and kept quiet. Maybe he argued with the crazy Kraken lawyers, but never against Chump.

(25,981 posts)why he showed up to testify before Congress in a t-shirt and jean jacket. To give van Tatenhove credit, though, he did show up to testify and can speak clearly and cogently about the Oath Keepers.
eta By contrast, Ayers got a haircut and wore a suit, but still has occasional difficulty expressing himself as clearly. It's a lesson in not judging a book by its cover.

Their vision doesn't include Rule of Law; it does include violence, winning through lies, deceit and getting their way through violence.
