Luria is up. She shows the presidential oath of office. President is supposed to execute the laws faithfully. (Really nice framing of why all this matters.)

Trump instructed supporters, whom he knew were armed, to march to the Capitol. He promised to go with them.

Pence was already in the Capitol and the building had been breached. But rather than stopping the violence, Trump refused to tell the mob to leave.

Why the hell is he in the Rose Garden when he made that video? That's really important. Why did the Secret Service permit that? I mean, unless they knew something?

So what happened between the end of the Ellipse speech and the video telling people to go home. He sat in the dining room. Dereliction of duty. Luria is a 20 year Navy vet.

Kinzinger now. (Also a veteran.) Clip of McCarthy blaming Trump for inaction. Also Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark A. Milley says he should have done something.

What explains Trump's behavior? The mob attacking the Capitol gave Trump what he wanted: the delaying of the electoral count. Trump didn't FAIL to act. He CHOSE not to act.

Other people DID their duty. Trump did not.

Witnesses: Matthew Pottinger and Sarah Matthews. Pottinger is also a veteran. Matthews is former deputy press secretary. Both resigned after the events of January 6.

Pottinger explains his role as deputy national security advisor to Trump. He's a true believer. Talking about how good Trump's national security policies were.

Matthews emphasizes, too, that she's a Republican. (Good article in... I think it was the Washington Post... from two political scientists about how hearing from REPUBLICANS-- but not Democrats-- changes Republican minds.)

Luria: security official has told the committee that the White House knew there were weapons in the crowd. Official says they "were all in shock" at idea Trump was marching to the Capitol. It would turn a rally into a coup.

Alarmed because the president wanted to lead 10,000 supporters to the Capitol.

Luria says that Tony Ornato said the president was "irate" when not allowed to go to the Capitol. (They're supporting Cassidy Hutchinson here.) Another police officer supports that account.

SGT. Mark Robinson says in more than 100 details, he knew of no other in which the president fought his detail.

Robinson says Trump wanted to go to the Capitol. Back at White House, put on standby to see if Trump could go to the Capitol. 45 minutes to an hour to see if Trump was going to go to the Capitol.

Secret Service officers have retained private counsel. ‼️

White House employee told Trump about the Capitol riot within 15 minutes of getting back to the White House.

@Jezibaba he sure is…

@Jezibaba
This goes with the public education/ deprogramming effort we were discussing a few days ago

@publickovacs Yes it does!!

@Jezibaba
That is the smart move here

@Jezibaba Appears to me he waited until it became evident the coup was not going to be successful. Once it was clear law enforcement was starting to get it under control, he made the video "We love you. You're very special."

@Jezibaba Explain. I'm not following, why is the rose garden significant? I'm with you but need to understand it.

@ThrasherPrime let me revisit this.

@Jezibaba No rush, you can even DM it to me. If you want. I just want to be informed more.

@ThrasherPrime @Jezibaba I want to know too.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @ThrasherPrime @Jezibaba

I'm not watching, but because if Trump were not in control of the rioting, if the rioters were false flag Antifa people, then the Secret Service would have gotten Trump to a secure location, not let him wander around outside.

@Jezibaba Secret Service is #compromised and #complicit
