DFO responded with his usual attack on her. He hardly knew her. Blah. Blah Blah.

I’m still figuring out my feelings on this, and she is a profile in courage. But I’m pissed off that basic things like this have become such. If that makes sense.Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 2:13 pm CH is only 25 years old. She had a great future. Now she'll be looking over her shoulder for pretty much ever.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
we're back
jan 5 MM discussions: Roger Stone attended rallies on jan 5. 5 and 6, mr stone was photographed with oath keepers serving as his security. Mult oath keepers have been charged. Stone and Flynn have taken the fifth.
trump ordered MM flynn and stone on Jan 5 regarding how Jan 6 would play out.
she doesn't know what they discussed
war room at the Willard? MM told her to work with SS so MM could attended war room meetings jan 5. CH made it clear it wasnt a smart idea to go. She wasn't sure what they were doing but she knew what rudy was pushing. not appropriate for the WHcos to be involved with.
He kept mentioning he wanted to go that night but eventually dropped the subject, he would dial in instead.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
ch is going to describe what was going on in the OO on the sixth. this is video.
around 2, watching the tv and rioters were getting closer and closer. MM was in his office, sitting on the couch, on cell phone. I said are you watching the tv?
MM: Yeah
Rioters getting a little close. Did you talk to the prez
MM: No he wants to be alone.
She felt she was watching a car accident that she couldn't stop. He needs to snap out of this. He needs to care.
the rioters are getting close. they might get in.
MM: I'll give him a call.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Cipollone rushed into MM office. PC: rioters are in the capitol, we need to see the president now.
MM: He doesn't want to do anyting.
PC: Something needs to be done or people are going to die and the blood will be on your fucking hands.
MM stood up, walked out with PC and said let me know if Jim calls anad they walked into the dining room.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
she went to dining room, stepped in to get MM attention, showed the message from Jordan, he took the phone, talked to Gym. She was probably 2 feet from MM in the OO Dining room. she heard them talking, but she could hear background convos about the "hang mike pence chants"

Re: January 6 Select Committee
MM hung up. couple min later she overheard MM and CP, maybe Herschmann, PC said Mark we need to do something more. They are literally calling for the vp to be hung.
MM: You heard him, he thinks Mike deserves it. He doesn't think they're doing anything wrong.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Cheney: trump refused to do anything about the rioters bc he didn't think they were doing anything wrong. trump put out a tweet endangering MP further. How did that make you, as a staffer, feel?
CH: frustrated, disapointed, it felt personal. I was really sad. As an American i was disgusted. it was unamerican. "Watching the Capitol building being defaced over a lie." Seeing that tweet come up, knowing what was happening on the hill. i still struggle to work thru those emotions.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
3 trains of thought in OO jan 6
1. take immediate and swift action, herschmann, Ivanka, wh counsel.
2. neutral group trying to tow the line, didn't push trump but knew something had to be done.
3. deflect and blame. Blame Antifa. MM was in the deflect and blame category.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
wh counsel wanted statement condemning the rioters.
Note on screen, CH wrote at MM's direction jan 6 3:00
she wrote note as MM was in meeting with Herschmann and Phelbin. MM dictated statement for trump to put out, stating this was illegal - wo proper authority.
Illegal was later crossed out.
Later decided we don't need to take further action.
Ivanka wanted daddy to send people home but the language she used was rejected by trump,
Laura Ingraham's texts to MM (seen before)
jr text (seen before)

Re: January 6 Select Committee
I know it doesn’t make any real sense… but I just cried for a minute… how awful all this is, the feeling of loss for what I always thought my country was. How so many in power let this worthless piece of excrement ruin it… and how they all waffled that day… then, now, act like it is a nothing burger… so betrayed and sad…

Rep Mike Gallagher - video on twitter to trump. "Call this off. This is bigger than you. This is about the USA. More important than any politican. Call it off. It's over."

Re: January 6 Select Committee

CH video: He was reluctant to film video on the sixth. she wasnt involved in shooting the video.
Hannity text to MM. Can he make a statement. ask ppl to leave capitol.
another message from SH with link about cabinet secys considering the 25A

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Hannity apparently was able to speak with trump
SH spoke of:
No more stolen election talk
impeachment and 25A are real. Many will quit.
something about pardoning Hunter Biden
(missed the last two points. )

Re: January 6 Select Committee
Jan 7 Philbin started writing a speech. shared the draft with Cippolone who agreed with the content of the draft, and Herschmann..
trump didn't like the speech and didn't want to give it.
CH (learning from MM and WH counsel and Herschmann) trump thought he'd done enough and didn't need to do any more.
When he was convinced to make a speech, he wanted to control it. She has orig draft that got thrown out, stuff like rioters being violent. He wanted to talk about pardoning the rioters. They didn't do anything wrong. The only person who did something wrong j6 was Pence.

Re: January 6 Select Committee
MM, Herschman, CP, Pat Philbin, Jarvanka talked him into making a Jan 7 statement.
also McEneny(never did learn how to spell that name) There were concerns about the 25A being involved, so the primary reason trump had to make the statement was to avoid what could happen in the final days of his presidency.
he made teh j7 speech, but couldn't bring himself to say "this election is now over" It was the only part he didn't read, but kept to the script otherwise.
They had to fight to keep the part about pardoning rioters out of the speech.
Giuliani ask for a pardon? yes
Meadows ask for pardon? yes

Re: January 6 Select Committee
