congress. all in a period from election day 2020 to inauguration in january. so here to help us go through it and it s a lot. is our special correspondent. jamie, these are a lot of texts and shedding a lot of light on what was happening around trump on the sixth. what are you learning? as you said we have obtained 2,319 text messages. these are the ones that meadows voluntarily handsed over to the committee. they are text exchanges as you said with more than 40 current and former members of congress. including senator ted cruz. jim jordan, moe brooks and someone in the news a lot these days, marjorie taylor greene. and i want to start with her because there are messages from green which might actually surprise you. she sent this message to mark meadows on the 6th in the middle of the riot.
remarkable, i mean, judgmental is saying, actually, this is up there. it is a high threshold to get over to say incitement in this context. exactly, so donald trump is going to try to say, oh you blew off the legal dispute are. judge mehta actually apply the legal standard, dismissed don jr., dismissed moe brooks. and the reason you said were that the trump s comments were the only one to be a call for collective action, donald trump s speech on january six, which he played just before, he used we more than the queen of england. it was really a cult collective more than these other folks, and that s what this lawsuit is all about, a conspiracy under section 1985, which is called the ku klux klan act. final question for you is about a former federal judge, a mentor of judge blue dig who is, we know, we know that mike
