actually transpired on january 6th. today, we got the first look at the document titled, 1776 returns, when the lawyer for the philadelphia president of the proud boys included it in a federal court filing. we heard mention of this document in previous indictments against members of the proud boys, some of whom were charged with seditious conspiracy last week. prosecutors revealed that an individual, whose identity is known to the grand jury, sent this blueprint to proud boys leader enrique tarrio on december 30th, 2020. one way to think about the attempted coup and i think the way that the committee is discussing it, and the way we discuss it on this program is sort of broadly two different efforts that merged on january 6th. there was trump and his circle of people around him, who were pro-coup, attempting to overthrow the rightfully elected president, joe biden, to keep donald trump in power. they were trying to use every government mechanism they had at their disposal

government mechanism they had at their disposal they could muster, including the fake electors scheme, pushing the department of justice to announce investigations of claims of fraud, pressuring mike pence not to certify the results on january 6th and on and on and on. that s all the governmental activity they are trying. then on that day, january 6th, that effort merged with the efforts of violent extremist right-wing mobs. those groups, which include the proud boys, have their own plan to use force to topple the government. i mean, topple the incoming government, right? preserve donald trump in power. and while we all solve the same thing, we all know exactly what happened on january 6th, there are some on the right who have tried, disingenuously and preposterously to my mind, to downplay the brutality of january 6th. we hated seeing vandalism at the u.s. capitol a year ago, and we said so at the time. but we did not think it was an insurrection because it was not an insurrection.
