At the Willard and the White House, the Jan. 6 Panel Widens Its Net

WASHINGTON — “We are essentially in a national emergency,” Michael T. Flynn declared on Jan. 5, during an interview with the internet conspiracy theorist Alex Jones recorded in a luxurious suite at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel near the White House.

“The truth is going to come out,” said Flynn, the former three-star general and national security adviser. “Donald Trump will continue to be president of the United States for the next four years.”

In another room of the five-star hotel, a phalanx of lawyers and political advisers for Trump — including Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer; Bernard B. Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner; and John Eastman, a scholar working feverishly on a legal strategy to prevent Joe Biden from assuming the presidency — had set up a kind of command post. On the hotel’s grand front steps, Roger Stone , a longtime Trump adviser, was flashing his signature Nixon victory sign to fans as members of the Oath Keepers, a militant group, protected him.

SNIP…

The panel has learned details about how “Stop the Steal” rally organizers used deception to obtain permits from the Capitol Police to hold rallies near the Capitol; how Trump and White House officials coordinated with organizers of the rally whose attendees would later storm the Capitol; and how deeply Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, was involved in pushing false claims of widespread election fraud.

I look forward to learning what the Committee learns in regards to “foreknowledge of violence,” especially as it relates to the delayed National Guard response Flynn’s little three star brother was all forgetful about when he was in another war room.
