Trump did not try to calm his supporters. Instead, he sent the 2:24 tweet saying "Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done...." Put a target on his own vice president's back.

Both Pottinger and Matthews say Trump added fuel to the fire.

Pottinger disturbed and worried that Trump was attacking Pence for doing his constitutional duty.

Pottinger decided to resign.

Matthews thought the tweet was "giving the green light to these people." Telling them they were "justified in their anger." He should have been condemning the violence.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Matthews knew how his supporters latched onto his words. Tweeting as he did made things much worse.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Cipollone, Judd Deere, Cassidy Hutchinson, all condemn the tweet.

At 2:26, Pence had to be moved again. Violence escalated quickly after the tweet.

Trump went back to calling Senators, including Tommy Tuberville (R-AL). Senator Josh Hawley earlier had raised his fist in solidarity with the crowd and riled up the crowd. He was protected then, but later fled from the rioters. (Riled them up... then fled.)

Trump was supposed to insure a peaceful transfer of power and ought to have defended all three branches of government. Even Kushner had to admit that to the committee.

Mr. Fist fled as the terrorists he riled up sacked the building.

What phone was Trump calling these senators on, and why wasn’t it logged? Surely several US Senators could help the committee figure it out.

The Jan. 6 Committee drags Josh Hawley.

The Committee plays Hawley running out of the Capitol, just hours after he raised his fist in solidarity with them.

"Later that day, Senator Hawley fled after those protestors he helped to rile up stormed the Capitol."

This is not new information but solidifying the timeline.

You gotta love that the committee made sure to get this in.

NEW: Jan. 6 committee shows Sen. Josh Hawley running for his life from the Capitol rioters that he personally riled up hours earlier by raising a fist for them in solidarity

By 2:24, Trump had been in his dining room for an hour. Decent people would have told the rioters to go home. His advisors begged him to. But he didn't.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Two tweets: "Stay peaceful" and "remain peaceful" even though he knew they were committing violent.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

Don Jr. and Meadows texts. At 2:53, DJ said "he's got to condem this shit." DJ and Hannity both told Meadows that Trump needed to stop the violence. So did members of Congress, White House officials, Laura Ingraham and Kilmeade of FNC, Mark Mulvaney, friends, and so on.

Cipollone said he knew the tweets were not enough. Wanted a public statement. Pat Philbin, Eric Herschmann, Meadows, Ivanka, Jared, General Kellogg, Dan Scavino, all said he needed to do something more.

Cipollone said NO ONE of White House staff wanted the riot to continue. Suggests Trump DID want it to continue.

2:38 tweet in context: Representatives are hiding in the chamber and are hunkering down with gas masks. Dangerous situation.

After 2:24 tweet Matthews told McEnany that Trump MUST tell Trump to call them off. She went to the dining room. Then told Matthews that a tweet had gone out, but McEnany said Trump did not want to talk about peace. Finally Ivanka Trump suggested "stay peaceful."

Ali Alexander told someone that was deliberate. Jessica Watkins communications about the tweet say "there's no safe place in the United States for these m*therfuckers." They recognize he didn't tell them to stand down, but to stay away from the Capitol Police. Go after Congress.

They say Trump is not leaving office.

Pottinger says Trump's tweet was "insufficient." Wanted to hear him tell them to go home.

HCR

Matthews says there was a convo in the press office. A colleague said Trump shouldn't condemn the violence because it would be "handing a win to the media" if he turned against his supporters. She disagreed.

Mad that they were talking about politics in the middle of the violence.

Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Trump to call off his supporters. When Trump refused, McCarthy turned to Ivanka Trump.

Trump's secretary transferred McCarthy's call to Trump.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

McCarthy told Trump to "call these people off." Trump said they're antifa. McCarthy said no, they're your people. Trump said: "Well, Kevin, I guess they're more concerned about the election than you are." Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) told the story.

Kushner says McCarthy was scared and begging for help. Trump turned him down. So he called Trump's kids Rep. Mike Gallagher also called.

Biden called on Trump to call an end to the siege, too. Trump still refuse.

Finally, Trump yielded. At 4:17, more than 3 hours after the Ellipse when he had sent an armed mob to the Capitol. Sent video saying they mob was special and he loved them.

But by then, law enforcement was on the way to put the mob down. It wasn't going to work. So THEN Trump told them to go home.

Staff had prepared a script. He refused to use it. Rejected calls to leave the Capitol. Instead, spoke off the cuff.

Nicholas Luna says he doesn't know why Trump didn't use a script.
