happening and there were a number of kind of crazy legal theories at that time that were giving mike pence all of this power to try and stop the certification process when most legal skolars believes that his role was completely ceremonial. that is something that the vice president himself came to as well. but i think it is so important to point out the fact that they sent it directly to mike pence, shows that they really hoped something would happen with this. that this wasn t just, you know, hey look, we have these alternate slate of electors, they thought someone should use them and put them into practice and their long-term goal of keeping donald trump in office and i think that is why you re seeing individuals like the department of justice taking this seriously enough to launch an investigation. there has been a lot of accusations about things that have happened as it relates to january 6 that the justice department has step add stepp away from. and the fact that they re willing
trump would have taken america to a completely different place. national guard units would have gone against their own commanders, and governors are not commanders in chief even though you have officers like the general in charge of the oklahoma national guard talking like he doesn t have to follow any orders that comes from the national government. these are the step stones of civil war. but it wouldn t have lasted but a moment, the entire nation would haverisen up against president trump. before i let you off the hook on this, if you were the january 6 committee, what do you do with this document? what do i do with that document? i think every person in the united states needs to understand not just that it exists, this document wasn t just writing this, this was an executive order drafted within the white house, placed within the classified communication systems of the president referencing top-secret
voting machines after losing the 2020 election. this found in a draft of an executive order obtained by politico. the never-issued order from trump instructs the military to collect voting machines and deliver them to the director of national intelligence for, quote, assessment. politico reports the document is among 700 pages from the trump white house turned over to the 1/6 committee by the national archives, including a draft speech titled remarks on national healing. also emerging this week, new details of a plot by the trump re-election campaign to install fake electors in seven states. trump attorney and adviser boris epstein admitting it on msnbc. yes, i was part of the process to make sure there were alternate electors for when as we hoped the challenges to the seated electors would be heard and would be successful, under the constitution and electoral
states. what role were the state officials supposed to play, and who was supposed to be directing them? i mean, that s what the january 6 committee is trying to figure out. we know that in this document it further reinforces the argument that donald trump and his allies had plans and looked at options for trying to stall or change the outcome of the 2020 election. and that s what this document shows here. we also know that top trump aides were interested in discussing over text messages released by the january 6 committee moves to send a set of alternative electors to try and move the outcome away from the legitimate and completely legal set of electors back to the states. and as we all know, the one thing that stopped all this from happening ironically was vice
and her heads bloody. so you bear your little girl and then it s a murder investigation? yes. there were two people brandi feared, one town. she thought she was being followed. one thousands of miles away. josh was still in alaska. then, there was the new man in her life. anybody close to brandi needed to take a hard serious look at. no fingerprints, no dna, and no arrests for years. you are grieving. how do you pull all of that together. day-by-day. the handsome urge of someone s dark past. you have robberies going on, a homicide. and one brave woman willing to talk. he called me, the same that happened to brandi will happen to me. the question wasn t just who murdered a young mother, it was why. there was no money, there just wasn t a reason to do it. she didn t hurt nobody. she did nothing to nobody. why did they have to kill her?
