4 days in January: Trump push for Capitol coda to 2020 vote
The Associated Press ^ | July 9, 2022 | By LISA MASCARO (D-AP)

WASHINGTON (AP) — It would have been something never quite before seen in America — a defeated president, Donald Trump, standing at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a mob of supporters, some armed, contesting the election outcome.

Trump intended to go there that day. His allies had been planning for the moment, envisioning the president delivering a speech outside the building or even entering the House chamber amid objections to Congress certifying the 2020 election results for Democrat Joe Biden.

“He’s going to look powerful,” mused Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani to a young White House aide four days earlier.

But White House lawyers thought it was a “terrible” idea. Counsel Pat Cipollone warned that Trump could be charged with “every crime imaginable” if he joined mob on Capitol Hill trying to interfere with the certification.

In the end, Trump never made it to the Capitol on Jan. 6. His security refused to take him as rioters, some with weapons, laid siege to the building.

Furious, and stuck at the White House, Trump watched the insurrection on television.

This coming week, the committee is set to focus on Trump’s own actions and those of the extremist Oath Keepers and Proud Boys in allegedly leading the Capitol attack.

This doesn’t even read as good fiction. Is it mental illness from wuhan flu lockdowns or TDS. Maybe both since they are not mutually exclusive

For the record, what an actual siege looks like.

First....It didn't happen...Second...no one was armed.

The only person who died was an unarmed woman climbing through a broken window...call it an assassination by LE..a black LE. Yes, I'm absolutely certain the demographic is why it was never pressed and why he got off scot free. They probably gave him a raise and a medal.

With 100,000 supporters there with all the guns and equipment they supposedly had then why is the capitol building still standing? Who is Ray Epps?

Don’t forget Roseanne Boyland, beaten to death by CPD Lila Morris, or the 2 men in the crowd, one of whom was active prevented from receiving care.

I have yet to see ANY picture of anyone at the Capitol that was armed that day other than the Capitol Police who shot and killed Ashli Babbit.

“...a mob of supporters, some armed,”


Just wondering, how many arms (not counting those things with hands on the ends of them) were seized on January 6? Certainly the ‘bi-partisan’, 100% voted to impeach President Trump committee has published the numbers?

It’s a bit odd, that the only person shot and killed during the ‘insurrection’ was an unarmed ‘insurrectionist’.

“This coming week, the committee is set to focus on Trump’s own actions and those of the extremist Oath Keepers and Proud Boys in allegedly leading the Capitol attack.”

Here we go again trying to make nothing groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys into a reincarnation of the Nazis. Meanwhile, the real domestic terrorists Antifa, BLM and assorted abortion rights groups have been and are committing acts of real terror on the American people.

It gets worse and worse each day that passes. In a couple of months they will say he had snipers on the roofs and an army of ninja assassins.

” Donald Trump, standing at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with a mob of supporters, some armed”

Liars. Who was armed? Someone strolling around DC with a weapon and they were not arrested? Any photos of an armed protester?

Just helping her out with her imaginative narrative.

Why are they still crying about this when our country is falling apart before our very eyes? They’re so desperate to destroy Trump that they’re creating “what if?” scenarios to keep from reporting on reality. No one cares about what happened 18 months ago, FFS!!!
