to come through for us, and if he doesn t, that will be a sad day for our country. reporter: the violent mob then proceeded to the capitol, many enraged pence wouldn t do trump s bidding. mike pence has betrayed the united states of america! reporter: the rioters made it within 40 feet of the vice president. the committee released a play by play of how close the violence was to pence, featuring pictures of pence from that day. minutes before pence was taken to a secure location within the capitol, trump put out a tweet blaming pence. the situation was already bad. and so it felt like he was pouring gasoline on the fire by tweeting that. reporter: in the months before the capitol attack, eastman continuously peddled the theory within the white house that pence could overturn the election in his capacity as president of the senate. they thought he was crazy. i said, are you out of your effing mind? you re going to cause riots in the streets. reporter: pence pushed back re
the former president built entirely of campaign basically to try to get his vice president at the time to not certify the results of the election and we know that the president, the former president, attempts to do that, ended up sort of stoking even more sort of the violence that was already out there among the trump supporters. then when mike pence didn t do trump s bidding, then things got obviously extremely out of control and what you are going to see tomorrow and whether mike pence liked this or not and ultimately ends up having any direct income of the proceeding, he is going to come out a central figure. we also know from some of the evidence that the committee has already collected, mike pence is central to that, including these john eastman e-mails. we have troves of those e-mails that really gets to this campaign that donald trump built to get him to do his bidding. congresswoman cheney, the
despite great outside powers and dangers, our biggest threat remains the sick, sinister, and evil people from within our own country. there is no threat as dangerous to democracy as they are. just look at the on selected committee of political hacks and what they are doing to our country while the radical left murderers, rapists, and insurrectionists rome three. conveniently, carlos, no mention of kevin mccarthy at that rally last night. do trump s words sound like somebody who is nervous is that the noose is tightening? or is this just more air from donald trump? look, donald trump is a serial liar. he is committed to dishonesty. that is why he has a january six. the january 6th committee has help in finding and publishing
and decide it by june. and then within a very quick scramble, they could use the records if they do receive them. and there are two issues in the case. it is not just what the harm could be, but it is this whole issue of does biden make the call when he has clearly said so here. and that would be the issue that the court would be deciding. but when almost matters as much as when. and the first focus is getting them not to take the case, saying it is not worth their time, it is fairly settled and doing it by, say, four weeks from now. yeah. let s talk about more broadly the january 6th house select committee investigation. there is a really interesting op-ed in the los angeles times titled do trump s january 6 s sins of omission and co-mission make him criminally liable? even if trump anticipated merely a peaceful rally at the capitol on january 6th, his role in
you mentioned involvement in the primaries and trying to enforce his litmus test or fealty test. how did you say at the start of the year that this is a good year for donald trump? there s a handful of endorsements he s made in either primaries, in specific race or candidates who, for instance, he s trying to vault ahead like max miller in ohio who is an aide of his, max miller had been running against congressman anthony gonzalez in a primary in ohio. gonzalez was one of the republicans who voted to impeach the president in his second impeachment trial and trump is trying to pick off those republicans. he s had soum some success. this is lass bad climate for most members of congress in any party and a bunch would rather retire than continue kind of grinding away in this partisan gridlock so there s a lot of factors going into why people aren t running but in the end trump gets to claim credit. do trump s candidates win in these races is a big sign? every single one, probably not, bu
