- Why is this significant? Trump’s remarks reveal a direct line from the White House and the command center at the Willard. The conversations also show Trump’s thoughts appear to be in line with the motivations of the pro-Trump mob that carried out the Capitol attack.
- When did Trump make the calls? He phoned his lieutenants at the Willard sometime between the late evening on 5 January and the early hours of 6 January after becoming furious at Pence for refusing to do him a final favor.
- Meanwhile, the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack has recommended the criminal prosecution of Jeffrey Clark.
Here is the coordination between trump and the cult attempt planners in Willard hotel. It was a deliberate attempt to subvert a Constitutionally required process.
WHERE IS GARLAND!
I am not sure where you are going with this.
Sore Loser Donald had confabs with advisors on how to remain in power. Okay. Some of their recommendations were batshit insane and against the Constitution.
As far as I know, none of those batshit crazy plans were put into motion.
Or are you trying to say there is some connection between these conversations and the insurrection at the Capitol?
I do blame Trump for priming the riot pump from the day he lost until January 6. And he all but outright told them to riot during his speech to the crowd on January 6. He also told the rubes he would be marching with them to the Capitol. Lie #456,389,246.
Then Trump went back to watch TV. That's how he experiences the world. And while the insurrection was taking place, he couldn't pull himself away from the TV. This is what happens when we elect a game show host.
Trump could have stopped the insurrection by marching down there as he promised. He could have stopped it at any moment by getting his fat ass down there after it started, and five people would be alive today who aren't. Including his blessed martyr Saint Babbitt.
Was Trump so desperate that he didn't stop the riot because he was hoping it would succeed? I'm just putting the question out there, as Tucker Carlson likes to say.
I don't see any additional sinister significance as far as the phone confabs are concerned. The Whiner-in-Chief was grasping at holographic straws until the last minutes.
