a first term republican state senator was all in on overturning joe biden s win in pennsylvania, if the republican leaders in the legislature wouldn t help trump, he would. so he got an all republican committee from the legislature to hold a sort of fake hearing. he couldn t do it at the state capitol itself, so they all got together and win a hotel at gettysburg, and invited rudy giuliani giuliani clown car of supposed witnesses to voter fraud to give the presentation about how the election in pennsylvania was rigged. and that would convince the state legislature to overturn the results, shortly, and there is a special guest too. we have one additional witness. please. all right, i will introduce you to the president, you are connected.
building in part because of what my sources in that department say was a significant failure of the leadership of that police department. the department has shrunk even more since january 6th. that suggests there are major concerns within the department about the competence of its management and that s something that exists as a security vulnerability even now, a year after that awful attack. when you talk to national security sources, betsy, beyond just the capitol itself, is there anything being gamed out for 2024, if x happens, we re going to do y, if there is another violent insurrection with millions of people or thousands of people, if there are more armed people who try to forcefully take over state houses, et cetera, is there a contingency plan being floated for 2024? that s a great question. i don t have knowledge of a specific contingency plan. but what i can tell you is one

people. keep that in mind, just don t obey unlawful orders. that seems harmless enough, i guess. as of the number of other prominent far right extremist groups in this country, oath keepers were heavily involved in the planning and execution of january 6, not just, you know, disobeying bad orders. now, we should note that rhodes did not enter the capitol itself, so this is a fascinating detail. this indictment of him captures something broader than just the physical building of what has nabbed most of the people who were in charge. they have the conspiracy to stop the transfer of power and overthrow the government. again, reading saying, quote, beginning in late december 2020 via political complications, rhodes and his co-conspirators planned to travel to d.c. on or
