The meetings at the Willard hotel were not a one day event.

People were there for days planning the coup. There were multiple so called war rooms. Rudy, Bannon, Kerik and Eastman led one of the war rooms. I believe Flynn led another war room. A lot of people were coming in and out of those meetings for days.

On Jan. 2nd, Trump, Rudy, and Eastman held a conference call with 300 state legislators about the Big Lie. Many of the legislators did not go along with the lie, many of them did. We all know what states created the fake electors.

On Jan. 2nd, Eastman, Rudy, Boris (I'm guilty) Epshteyn appeared on Bannons pod cast to tell Bannons pro Trump viewers what they were doing.

During the attack on the capital, Kelli Ward, chair of the Arizona GOP tweeted around 3:30pm, congress is adjourned. Send electors choice back to the state legislators.

Just from what has been reported so far. We know hundreds of people were involved in the coup. Many people who new about the coup were smart enough not to get directly involved. Many others did not hesitate to go along with the coup.

I believe this will be the largest investigation in our history. The war rooms at the Willard hotel will become infamous. I believe what has been reported, what we know so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

I do not know if this is true, it's just a gut feeling. I believe Merrick Garland and the FBI have been investigating the people at the top longer then we think.

what we did not know in 2021, we know now..the plot to deny Biden the presidency, the financing, the inside/outside co-conspirators, and the execution (failed)...Merrick Garland is a cautious and judicious man...not every investigation demands transparency, not when our country is at stake...

Another signal that TFG was not planning on leaving.

not only not planning on leaving, but planning to fight on.

I hope it is considered a piece of the puzzle of TFG's guilt.

10. We also know that Chump skipped the New Year's Eve party at Mar-A-Lago

He came back to the White House 4 days early in order keep tabs on all the Big Lie-Stop the Steal shenanigans. Maybe he wasn't running the show, but Rudy G., Mike F. and Sidney the Kraken Lady were definitely keeping him informed on everything. EVERYTHING!

Lock them all up. Now!

12. I like your optimism, and certainly expect that Garland knows much, much more

than he's let on, and that the January 6 Committee needs to have public hearings.

Public hearings will go a long way towards exposing these seditious republicans and their plans to destroy our Democracy. Personally I think they should all be put up against a brick wall and shot for their crimes.
