Trump was watching the progress of his coup attempt live on FUX News. Up until now Trump’s riot was an elaborate pressure campaign on Pence and the GOP caucus. Now here’s where it gets sticky, so follow along. The implication was crystal clear, See what happens when people piss me off? Instead he called GOP Senators to steel them to the task of torpedoing or delaying the vote certification. But not to DHS, the Secret Service, the Pentagon for the National Guard, or the FBI. What did he do there, with FUX News proudly displaying his handiwork? He made phone calls. And Trump’s silent response was to hand over his overcoat, and cloister himself in the private dining room. Trump didn’t even have his overcoat off when he got back to the Oval Office when his valte told him that rioters were trying to breach the police lines to get into the Capitol. How do we know that? Because of his actions as laid out by the J6 committee. In the speech he also highlighted the GOP Senators and Representatives, saying things like We’re going to go down to the Capitol, to cheer on our faithful congressional allies, and maybe some of the shaky ones will see the light. At this point, Trump’s plan was for the Capitol riot was for it to be a pressure point to force compliance from Pence and his caucus. Trump didn’t sic the mob on Pence in that moment because he had other fish to fry. Or Hopefully Mike Pence does the right thing, but if he doesn’t, I might not like him so much anymore. Things like I’m sure our great Vice President Mike Pence will do the right thing, and if he does the right thing, you’all be very happy people. His speech references about Pence were either neutral or complimentary. Trump specifically mentioned Pence at last a half a dozen times. I’ll make this as chronological as possible, so that it makes the most sense.
But what I caught today snapped it all into final focus. After it happened live, I wrote that the devil was in the details, and that the timing was everything. I’m glad that I watched Thursday nights J6 committee a 2nd time today.
