information that colleagues of mine and me and my partner phil rutger gathered. but what they are revealing in whole is a lot of people who still publicly proclaim the big lie are revealed in these records to have recognized january 6th as incredibly dangerous, to have recognized it as a riot, not a tourist visit, to have recognized it as something that was totally disastrous for donald trump s legacy. well, one of the people who seems to think that as it s unfolding that it is nothing short of an atrocity is sean hannity. that s not the public position he takes on his broadcast. but he sends this message to kayleigh mcenany on january 7th in the text. no more stolen election talk. yes, impeach and 25th amendment are real. and many people will quit. kayleigh mcenany who i believe was moonlighting a of the the
