intended to intimidate lawmakers. if we have to, we re going to go to homes and let them know what we think about them. there were multiple protests. i don t remember the exact number, three at least outside either my district office or my home. you re correct. my then 15-year-old son was home by himself for the first one. all of my personal information was online. it was my personal email, my personal cell phone, my home phone number. in fact, we had to disconnect our home phone for about three days because it would ring all hours of the night, would fill up with messages. brian butt cutler, we re outside. outlining pressure from trump aides and the ex-president himself to peddle the big lie even as team trump admitted they didn t have any evidence. he said we ve got lots of theories, we just don t have the evidence. and i don t know if that was a gaff. maybe he didn t think through what he said. both myself and others in my group and my counsel both remembered tha
so we now know that pont examining some of the committee s evidence, a federal judge thinks john eastman more likely than nod committed felonies. hearing that was more ominous with that analysis in the public record, in the judicial record. i wonder your thoughts tieing not just eastman but trump the phony elector scheme wasn t a mad cap circus thing. it was a crime. it s a crime to submit flawed lent electors who don t represent the will of the folks in any states. what did you make of the repetitive nature of witness testimony proving it wasn t just rudy, mitchell. trump was involved, rudy was involved up and down the white house campaign operation, they had their hands on this conspiracy to submit fraudulent electors. there s so much notable about this particular wonky but
lawyer distancing themselves from this scheme, trying to suggest that they basically passed the baton to rudy and didn t want to be involved. so many people who saw what was going on, new it was wrong and clearly trump s decision was rather than listening to people he trusted, people he had relationships with for years, instead he chose to listen to whoever was telling him what he wanted to hear. that s the through line that really connects all of this. it was crystallized in this hearing in a significant way. let me play more of this testimony. this number six. this is the pennsylvania house speaker, bryan cutler on his calls from rudy giuliani. another legislator, pennsylvania house speaker bryan cutler received daily voicemails from trump lawyers in the last week of november. mr. speaker, this is rudy giuliani and jenna ellis. we re calling you together because we d like to discuss obviously the election hello, mr. speaker, this is
officials up and including the vice president were unwilling to undertake. they sort of dispensed with the legal rhetoric, with the ex-orientations to duty. rudy said, hey, maybe you should do this because we re fellow republicans and ultimately resorted to mob-like violent intimidation. we saw it with election workers, members of congress, culminating in a violent insurrection at the capitol on january 6th. this should be especially concerning in addition to all the other laws that look like they may have been violated as part of this scheme, there needs to be a very specific review of the criminal behavior that was geared towards physical violence and threats towards some of these individuals which were extensive. jason, i want to play ruby freeman s testimony. i think mob comparison is good, but the reality of what these people experienced was nothing short of being terrorized. let me play that.
jenna ellis. i m hear with mayor giuliani. hey, bryan, it s rudy. i really have something important to call to your attention that i think really changes things. cutler felt the outreach was unappropriate and asked his lawyers to tell giuliani to stop calling. i understand that you don t want to talk to me now, i just want to bring some facts to your attention and talk to you as a fellow republican. myles, what followed this evidence that they entered was steve bannon sending protest is a generous word in the mob to his house. the violence incited by donald trump was it commenced well before january 6th. we learned today, nicolle,
