In a preview of his testimony this afternoon before the January 6 House Select Committee, staunch conservative retired Judge J. Michael Luttig will condemn the Malignant Loser's lawless attempt to stay in power through violence and fraud. Luttig has particular credence among movement conservatives, so his testimony should be a powerful rebuke to those who continue to bow to the Malignant Loser and push his Big Lie. Excerpts from Judge Luttig's statement:
"This false and reckless insistence that the former president won the 2020 presidential election has laid waste to Americans' confidence in their national elections. More alarming still is that the former president pledges that his reelection will not be 'stolen' from him next time around, and his Republican Party allies and supporters obeisantly pledge the same.

No American ought to turn away from January 6, 2021, until all of America comes to grips with what befell our country that day, and we decide what we want for our democracy from this day, forward."
Today's hearing starts at 1 p.m. EDT, and will be broadcast on all the major news networks.
