I Still Want To Know Where Tr**p Was Viewing The 1/6 Insurrection And.....

[global1]

who was with him and what was his reaction to what was going on.

I sure hope that info comes out in time. The sooner the better.

1. Odd that his whereabouts, and with which co-conspirators, remains a state secret.

Bet the Secret Service could tell us a lot,,,,,under oath.

10. Also, where was he the night before, and who was he with?

I still want to know the senators and Congress people who were in attendance at that Trump Hotel meeting. Tuberville, I'm looking in your direction!

2. A lot of people say he was in the library, holding the candlestick - Others say it was a lead pipe

I believe he was in the Map Room, adjacent to the Oval office. The Map Room is front loaded with televisions.

3. No subscriptions so I can't read the Post or Times but I believe both answer this question.

I think we can safely deduce from the amount of reports in other media saying the same thing - Trump was in the oval office. IMO and I expect some day for it be revealed, he was standing by for a photo op of him posing on piles of dead lawmakers and cops while he announced he was dissolving congress, suspending the Constitution and imposing martial law as the supreme leader.
Who was with him? No one who will admit to it without being subpoenaed. But we know Lindsay Graham and others were blowing up the WH phones and couldn't get through.

4. "I Alone Can Fix It" covers that. Here's a excerpt from it.

At the White House, Trump was back in his private dining room watching everything unfold on television. Aides, including Dan Scavino and Kayleigh McEnany, popped in and out. The president was riveted. His supporters had heeded his call to march on the Capitol with “pride and boldness.” For Trump, there was no more beautiful sight than thousands of energetic people waving Trump flags, wearing red MAGA caps and fighting to keep him in power.

“He thought, ‘This is cool.’ He was happy,” recalled one aide who was with Trump that afternoon. “Then when it turned violent, he thought, ‘Oh, crap.’ ”

As Pence gave orders to the military, the actual commander in chief was effectively AWOL. Trump spent the afternoon glued to the television watching the drama unfold.

After his tweet castigating Pence amid the height of the attack, Trump had issued two tweets that many of his aides felt still missed the mark. In neither did Trump call on his supporters to leave the Capitol.

As soon as she saw on the television in her second-floor office that the rioters were inside the Capitol, Ivanka Trump said to her aides, “I’m going down to my dad. This has to stop.” She spent several hours walking back and forth to the Oval trying to persuade the president to be stronger in telling his supporters he stood with law enforcement and ordering them to disperse.

Just when Ivanka Trump thought she had made headway and returned upstairs, Meadows would call her to say that the president still needed more persuading. “I need you to come back down here,” Meadows would tell her. “We’ve got to get this under control.” He would clear the room of other aides and say, “I only want Ivanka, myself and the president in here.”

This cycle repeated itself several times that afternoon. As another presidential adviser said, “Ivanka was described to me like a stable pony. When the racehorse gets too agitated, you bring the stable pony in to calm him down.”

Other White House officials also pleaded with Trump to condemn the violence unequivocally.

5. I wonder if they can find tapes.

[gratuitous]

6. I thought he was right in the thick of it

He told the crowd that he would be marching with them to the Capitol. There's even video of some knucklehead who's several hundred yards deep in the mob saying that he's sure the former guy was up front. In reality, the former guy juiced up the crowd, told them to march on the Capitol, and then skedaddled to his hidey hole.

12. He couldn't march with them

because of bone spurs in his foot.

7. At the time, if I remember correctly, Trump, his sons, their wives/friends and several others

Were shown In a room/party tent watching the whole thing on several TVs. With a buffet and drinks and music. Walking around like a cocktail party watching the riot on several TVs.

[PunkinPi]

8. That was before he made his speech.

He was watching it on TV in the WH when the attempted coup went down.

[Srkdqltr]

9. Yes during the riot.

[Sneederbunk]

11. He said he was going to walk with the traitors to the Capitol, but

somehow that did not pan out.

13. And...AND...what were the reported January 5 and January 6 'war room' planning meetings about and

who participated? One was in Trump Tower...

Not much reporting on your OP question or those meetings.
