Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said while announcing the hearing that “a large percentage of the American public does not view the 2020 election result as legitimate because of apparent irregularities that have not been fully examined.”
The goal of the hearing is to “resolve suspicions,” he added.
A webpage for the hearing on Tuesday listed six witnesses: two President Donald Trump campaign lawyers, James Troupis and Jessie Binnall; former special counsel Kenneth Starr; state Pennsylvania Rep. Francis Ryan; Donald Palmer, commissioner of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission; and Chris Krebs, who was director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency until Trump fired him last month.
But the page was later amended to remove Krebs and Ryan from the list of witnesses.

GOP Sen. Johnson brings Trump lawyers to Congress to testify on election irregularities
Johnson said Tuesday that he has not seen ‘anything that would convince me that the results — the overall national result — would be overturned’
By: Sophie Mann, Just The News, December 16, 2020:
In Wednesday, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) is holding a hearing to probe the 2020 presidential election. Johnson, who is the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, will hear from several Trump campaign attorneys, who have been running a series of lawsuits across the country. Ken Starr, who was part of the president’s impeachment defense team, will also attend.
The Democratic members of the committee have invited Christopher Krebs, the former cybersecurity official who was fired in the wake of the election for asserting that no widespread voter fraud occurred, to testify.
Senator Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is declining to participate in the hearing, siting his fear that such an event will undermine the results of a free and fair U.S. election. “We have a process in this country, under the Constitution and our judicial system, which should be followed. The idea of trying to change that process or interrupt it is, in my opinion, a grave mistake,” Romney told CNN last week.
Despite continued litigations efforts from Trump’s legal team, the Electoral College voted on Monday to affirm Joe Biden as the president-elect of the United States. On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell acknowledged on the chamber floor the win for the Biden/Harris ticket — though some Republicans have objected to McConnell’s actions.

When asked Monday whether Biden is the president-elect, Johnson said it is “certainly walking walking down that path, isn’t it?” Adding that he maintains his belief in the necessity of Wednesday’s hearing because there is “a large percentage of the American population that just don’t view this as a legitimate result for a host of reasons.”
Though, on Tuesday, Johnson said, “I haven’t seen anything that would convince me that the results — the overall national result — would be overturned.”
On January 6, Congress will meet fo formally count the Electoral College vote. Some Republican members of Congress have expressed interest in acting to challenge the results of the count. In order to move from a challenge to a debate, at least one Senator must join the objection. Last week, Senator Johnson said that today’s hearing will help him decide if he should join the objection. Rand Paul, another member of Johnson’s committee, has also hinted that he could join with the objecting congress members.

to “resolve suspicions,”
IOW: to squelch any resistance. 🙁
What’s the matter Mittons ? No guts to lie under oath? They are under oath right?
The other day, you couldn’t shut Mittons up from trashing Trump. He saw no fraud then.
Mitt Romney: ‘No Evidence’ Trump’s Victory Was Stolen For Biden
Former Presidential candidate blasts Trump

If I’m not mistaken, unless he’s wearing his magic underwear, he can lie up a storm.
But he’s such and upright honest guy!
I sure hope his undies aren’t being soiled during this fraud hearing.
He’s so proper and dignified… He’s a walking talking inhuman POS as far as I am concerned.
He was involved with the corrupt fraud voting machines too!
Look at the history up until 2012. You can enlarge it by LEFT clicking on it twice. The globalist monsters are there. What a mess!
Achmed Mohandjob,
I meant LEFT CLICK twice . and corrected it. My mouse died and I am using an annoying touch pad till I get a new mouse.
I am so weary of the garbage going on…..We take one step forward and than two backwards….and time is running out.

I left clicked twice. That normally enlarges a picture/chart.
Oh God, I just tuned in and listened to some guy preach this was the most secure election in American history and the orator thanked him for ensuring the election wasn’t compromised.
Thanks for the heads up. I won’t bother to waste any time watching it. Another lying televised CYA and make Biden President.
“The goal of the hearing is to “resolve suspicions,…”
Really? Anyone who listened to Biden tell us, in advance, about the pervasive voter fraud Democrats were planning to commit and (then) watched them do it, with impunity, has no ‘suspicions.’
So, what is this ‘hearing’ really about? And if they discover the obvious, so what?
They should be spending time, energy and effort to fix the fraud in Georgia. Otherwise, it’s a wrap!
Now they are saying its all Russian disinformation” and Trump and his supporters are all peddling false claims the Russians would approve of…
Can’t listen any longer…????
Krebs maybe knew he had to go, like other leaders – Kimmel at Pearl Harbor, for example – and may testify about rampant fraud. Still, the Senate should rule in favor of acknowledging the fraud, minus Romney and the D’s.
Krebs went because he dared to tell an inconvenient truth that Trump didn’t want to hear. Nad in the hearing he repeated that.
The country knows the election was rigged and will never accept Biden and Harris administration. January 20th is going to be a sheet show in DC. Patriots, it’s time to get your Patrick Henry on.
Eff Georgia and their treasonous legislators. Also, Eff McConnell, the Chinese puppet, just like Biden. Throw all the bums out of DC and as they have taken our vote, it must be done violently.
Johnson’s latest disinformation effort. Which part of his statement that he ” …has not seen ‘anything that would convince me that the results — the overall national result — would be overturned” is too complicated you to understand?
And unlike Ken Starr, Krebs can actually make relevant statements on whether election fraud actually occurred.
You have’nt seen anything that would convince you that the results would be overturned?
