Former President Donald Trump on Monday issued a 12-page statement responding to the Jan 6 hearings, attacking the “Unselect Committee” as “corrupt” and repeating his big lie that the 2020 election was rigged against him. The long rebuttal sparked an avalanche of mockery across all media, with many suggesting that Trump incriminated himself.
CNN host Erin Burnett noted that many of the claims cited by Trump are so outrageous that even Fox News won’t repeat them. In the same segment, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) called Trump’s claims “bogus BS.”
Former Trump biographer Tim O’Brien pointed out that the statement is perpetuating the “big lie.”

Trump just released a 12-page “statement” full of the usual hokum that the election was fraudulent, his critics are shifty, Congress is corrupt, etc, etc.
In other words, the big lie lives on. He’s *still doing it.* https://t.co/yeFzCBPWSB

In what could be his longest ever, Trump just released a 12-page statement on the “January 6th Unselect Committee,” and his case for voter fraud in the 2020 election. Link: https://t.co/VLxAiqc3EP pic.twitter.com/E1f8V5652O

Someone should let him know that this statement is admissible in any future trial under Federal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(2). https://t.co/RTorQ8TAig

Who else writes a 12 page rebuttal when they’re not guilty? Anyone?

Well, since we all know Trump could not produce a 12 page anything. We should be very concerned about who all wrote the rebuttal. Lawyers are expected to follow the law. If there is a single lawyer involved, they should be disbarred.

Trump seems super UNBOTHERED by the Jan 6 hearings. Which is why he released a 12 PAGE STATEMENT. And included FOOTNOTES. But they’re all from Peter Navarro’s UNHINGED diatribe about fictional mules stealing his election by ripping ballots out of boxes.

I attempted to read Trump’s 12 page manifesto but I couldn’t get past the 3rd paragraph. Same old played out song and moronic dance. The One Hit Wonder knows it too. Trump knew he lost and tried to overthrow the Constitution to stay in power.

I’m having trouble digesting that Garland is not doing his own investigation. Or is he just waiting for the committee to prepare the public?

Wonder who put this together? Trump did not write this, too many 3 syllable words.

The committee chairman has said trump is welcome to state his case to all of America on camera. Could be the biggest TV audience ever for trump, the thing he craves
The only catch- he has to do it UNDER OATH!
Chances of that happening ZERO!!
