Residents, but to the other part of the residents. the big parlor where you can have meetings of the conference room. you call it the yellow oval? yes, exactly, yellow oval office. i always call it the upper. i am not exactly sure where the group went. i think maybe the roosevelt room. i stayed in the cabinet room. it s cool. i really like it there. all by myself. at the end of the day we landed where we started the meeting, at least from a structural standpoint, which was sydney powell who was fighting, mike flynn was fighting, they were looking for avenues that would enable that would result in president trump remaining president trump for a second term.
Revealed that many of the people around former president trump including his white house chief of staff and his daughter ivanka, they all considered the 2020 election to be over. they thought it was a settled matter as of december 14th, the day the electoral college cast their votes. on that point of the thing being over though, and wildly acknowledge for it to be over and december 14th when the electoral college cast the votes, the investigators showed us what happened would happen after december 14th. as soon as people cast the votes, everybody trump s orbit including his family thought it was over. the investigators then showed us how trump needed a plan b, and how plan b evolved from that point forward. the whole white house trump staff and cabinet decided was over by december 14th, by december 16th he had found some random outsiders who would give him a new plan to stay in
Lot of people back on their heels talking at a recent doj filing that indicates that in addition to all the other weapons that we ve heard about, at least one member of these groups brought grenades, brought military ordinance grenades with them to january six. how significant is it to the investigation, what you ve been able to uncover, with the justice department has been able to uncover, about weapons, about ammunition, about the degree to which the crowd was armed and the degree to which president trump knew it? well, i think it s an essential thing rachel for the american people to understand, because i think everybody gets the point that donald trump used these extremist groups. but they used him too. they used him in order to build a functioning street fascist alliance essentially. we saw the creation of a mass fighting street army by the extreme right for the first time in our lifetimes.
To get that done. and, that she should be involved. he did it. this is echoing for you, because in a previous january 6th hearing, we did learn the trump tried to fire the attorney general, and appoint this guy, jeff clark, to take over the justice department. he did not just think about doing it, or argue for, it he did at, in white house call logs. jeffrey clark, starting to be described as the acting attorney general, because trump to try to install him. now, we learned there s another. trump did it as well, but when it comes to sydney powell. previously, we talked about making her special counsel, who had been suggested to him. now, he ordered that she would have the job of special counsel, and the only reason it didn t come to pass, it wasn t effectuated in our lives, is because white house officials, apparently, refused to act on his order. which is an astonishing thing, in the history of the u.s.
Was down at mar-a-lago, trump was furious, he was angry. and he asked him, oh, is it because he lost? and he said, no. it s because he doesn t have access to social media anymore. talk to us about the power and influence one can have on social media, and the ability to radicalize people. yeah, we ve heard a lot of different stories about how people ended up at the capitol. but really, we keep hearing the same version of the same one, right? a guy on social media, a woman on social media, who realized that this was gonna be the last hurrah. they realized, the guy they ve been following who they look to almost like a deity, like for the last few months and years, it s gonna give his last speech there. he kept pointing to this one day. donald trump did not point to one day very frequently. he didn t say he needed, you know, people to come by, one day, and help them out. and they all wound up going there.
