"Nick Quested, a British documentary filmmaker who was embedded with the Proud Boys on Jan. 6 and the night before, testified that he saw the far-right group’s leader, Enrique Tarrio, meet in a parking lot on Jan. 5 with Stewart Rhodes, the leader of another extremist group, the Oath Keepers. Quested was unable to hear what the two men were saying.
The next morning, Quested said he met up with the Proud Boys again at the National Mall. Instead of walking toward the Ellipse, where then-President Donald Trump was holding a rally, the contingent of “a couple of hundred Proud Boys” marched toward the Capitol around 10:30 a.m., before Trump had spoken, the filmmaker said.
“I was confused to a certain extent why we were walking away from the president's speech because that's what I felt we were there to cover,” Quested testified."

In other words, the Proud Boys (and Oath Keepers) didn't need to listen to Donald Trump...that's not why they were at the Capitol on Jan. 6th...they knew what their job was...Storm the Capitol and stop the peaceful transition of power.
This was no rally that got out of hand...this insurrection was a pre-planned coup with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers at the tip of the spear...

Once...just once...put in the effort to provide a cogent, well formed assessment of an issue...one that spans one, two, or even three paragraphs...a herculean task, I know, but worth that effort.

Boys/Oath Keepers?...seems to me there's some video showing Trump's long-time buddy, Roger Stone hanging out with the Oath Keepers on Jan. 5th and 6th...why on earth would Roger Stone, of all people, be in the Willard Hotel "War Room" with an Oath Keeper who confessed to "Sedition" charges on Jan. 6th.
Let's just cut to the chase...IMO, Roger Stone was a conduit between Trump and the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol...and given the reported requests of several GOP Congress people for Pardons...he may not be the only one to be involved...stay tuned...we may just hear what that Oath Keeper had to say about all this.

you haven't heard the last of "Roger Stone", or any of the other GOP notables who felt it important to get "Pardons" for their involvement.

country and put Trump in place as a lifetime King
been incited to attend the "Rally"...get them worked up into a fever pitch...and send them off to the Capitol in numbers that would certainly overwhelm the scant Capitol Police brigade (which didn't get backed up until hours later...while Trump watched it all on TV) and allow the Proud Boys/Oath Keepers to be among the first to enter the building and head straight for the meeting of Senators?
Come to think of it...that's exactly what happened.
Again...why didn't the Proud Boys go and listen to what their leader had to say...not very nice of them to "Dis" the guy and go straight to the Capitol instead...why would they do such a thing?

election...there was no fraud...yet he mounted a campaign to overturn the results...here's an excerpt from a WaPo article today...
----------------------
"If Trump is ever to be held criminally accountable for the coup attempt, prosecutors will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WAS WRONG AND UNJUSTIFIED. Here, the committee demonstrated there may be ample evidence of that. (my emphasis)."

This comes under the title of "Corrupt Intent"...a major outcome of just the first public hearing.
Jan. 6th is not going away.
You're on it Ty!!!
