schumer how one of the rioters got a tour of the capital capitol from a republican congressman the day of the insurrection. but no one in that group showed that type of aggression that day. committee member adam schiff is here on that, plus the planned hearing tomorrow focusing on vice president mike pence and the we live consequences of the big lie on a local election in new mexico. i have huge concerns with these voting machines. i really do. when all in starts right now good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. we now have a blueprint for the violent insurrection, from far-right gang the proud boys, and it uncannily matches up in specific detail with what actually transpired on january 6th. today, we got the first look at the document titled, 1776 returns, when the lawyer for the philadelphia president of the proud boys, included it in a federal court filing. we heard mention of this document in previous indictments against members of the proud boys, some
actually transpired on january 6th. today, we got the first look at the document titled, 1776 returns, when the lawyer for the philadelphia president of the proud boys included it in a federal court filing. we heard mention of this document in previous indictments against members of the proud boys, some of whom were charged with seditious conspiracy last week. prosecutors revealed that an individual, whose identity is known to the grand jury, sent this blueprint to proud boys leader enrique tarrio on december 30th, 2020. one way to think about the attempted coup and i think the way that the committee is discussing it, and the way we discuss it on this program is sort of broadly two different efforts that merged on january 6th. there was trump and his circle of people around him, who were pro-coup, attempting to overthrow the rightfully elected president, joe biden, to keep donald trump in power. they were trying to use every government mechanism they had at their disposal
at least, is suspicious activity, taking pictures of stairwells, which are not a tourist attraction. and appearing to take photos of security checkpoints, at least one checkpoint. and so it s all the more baffling. this is the reason we wanted this representative to come in. we wanted to discuss this with him. and of course, he has refused. yeah. it s a very strange situation. the u.s. capitol police chief thomas manger, i think is that is that how it s pronounced? he wrote a letter to davis, the house administration ranking member, saying, we train our officers on being alert for people conducting surveillance or common sense and we do not consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious. that s their point on it. again, it s all a little hard to tell, and for the context, i m just looking at the close circuit security footage. but i want to make sure that the committee has established or they believe they have established that individual, that we heard,
consider any of the activities we observed as suspicious. that s their point on it. again, it s all a little hard to tell, and for the context, i m just looking at the close circuit security footage. but i want to make sure that the committee has established or they believe they have established that individual, that we heard, basically, threatening to violently assault members of congress, was on that tour the day before? that is our belief, based on the evidence that we ve seen. if mr. loudermilk wants to come in and say it is not so and the evidence that we have, i think, is pretty clear. we do want to talk with him and make sure there is no confusion here. i think all of us on the subcommittee find that letter from the capitol police to be utterly baffling. and if those images don t appear suspicious or if they did not make the connection that we have, we want to know why. and we hope it s not a lack of diligence on their part.
cnn s international diplomatic editor nic robertson is on the seen in salisbury, where the poisoning occurred. what s the latest? reporter: wolf, right behind me is the house sergei skripal was living in. it s a potential danger to citizens living around here. it has a permanent police cordon. it s still part of an active crime scene here. what the police seem to have discovered could be a very helpful and useful lead in all of this. a source familiar with the investigation has told cnn that the british authorities were able to pick up a coded russian transmission to moscow soon after the attack that said the two attackers had left the country. what police have been able to do after that is sort of work backwards from that, take all the close circuit security
