that tweet, be there, we will be wild. it was a tweet that set up a violent chain reaction that resulted in a deadly attack on our government. cnn is not reporting the special counsel is asking witnesses about a contentious oval office meeting on december 18th, 2020. more than a month after the election, and mere days after the electoral college made official the decision of the american people. in short, that trump had lost the election. in that moment, the disgraced ex-president had two paths. he had door number one, admit head on that his campaign met the end of the line, keep in pace simple peaceful transfer of power. behind door number two, not just fall, but vaults into the abyss, commit to antidemocratic measures. of course, we all know the rest of the story. on this night in december, this crucial juncture, the six-hour cage match essentially unfolded deep inside the white house. on one side, it would summon trump s own white house team, quote, crazy. as you know, peo

And it goes on to say this was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics. It is done frequently in politics when everyone involved is an american citizen. It is much more treacherous if there are any foreign nationals who are part of a meeting like that because there are violations of the law if foreign nationals contribute anything of value to a campaign.

Theyre putting this false deadline out there that he has to finish by September 1st because, you know, thats department of Justice Policy, to not come close to an election.

supporters of his dad couldn t get his own father on the phone saying how bad this is. if you watch what he says publicly in his twitter feed today, you wouldn t believe that he was thinking such stuff. yeah, i mean, these people up to their very family members of trump were really putting on a performance and you could see them sort of honing that performance over the course of both trump s campaign and then as president they saw what people wanted. they saw what people were responding to and they started dialing it up in those sort of ways. and, you know, the correlation between what was happening in trump world and fox world, you know is very clear and they were talking. i mean, i think it s wild and i have heard many people mention this that journalists, quote unquote journalists at fox felt they could call the chief of staff and tell them what to do. that is
