Matthews says Trump could have gotten on camera in less than 60 seconds.

Briefing room has a camera on at all times.

Advisors worried about Trump's unscripted comments, though.

Two pipe bombs meant evacuations.

Matthews and Ben Williamson (?) agreed Trump needed to get out there fast to call things off. Press guy Judd Deere, too, went to talk to press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

At 2:03, Trump called Giuliani. At 2:13, Proud Boys broke into the Capitol.

This footage remains horrifying. Maybe worse than ever, actually.

Secret Service tried to get a safe path out for Pence. It was a very close thing. Trump's national security team was listening to the discussion about Pence's security.

What was meant by the comment that the agents did not "sound good right now"? It means they were worried for their own lives. Called to say goodbye to their family members.

Running out of options. Getting nervous. Screaming.

Rioters anger focused on Pence. Storm Capitol in fury at Pence. "Mike Pence, traitor!" "Mike Pence has screwed us."

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.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

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

HCR

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.

Hugo Lowell

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.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

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.

HCR
#hearings #HATH

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.
