There were a number of eye-opening findings in the Jan. 6 committee's fourth hearing that showed the depth and breadth of Trump and his allies' pressure on local and state officials.
Rusty Bowers, Arizona House Speaker; Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State; and Gabriel Sterling, Georgia Secretary of State Chief Operating Officer, appear for testimony during the fourth hearing.
Bowers, whose testimony was arguably the most compelling of any Jan. 6 witness so far, said he didn't know if Giuliani's comment that he had no"evidence" was a"gaffe," but that the multiple witnesses to the comment"afterwards, kind of laughed about it." to Trump meeting with state lawmakers in person, making threatening phone calls, as well as delivering public speeches and tweets that spurred threats, protests at houses and doxxing of personal information.

Jim Jordanto Mark Meadows forwarding a theory that could be used to pressure Pence to throw out votes on Jan. 6. The lynchpin that holds the democratic system together is people willing to do what's right.
