Now we know why Graham voted for witnesses.
War Room just broke that a Pence aid came out and said that PDJT knew about Pence’s life being in danger and did nothing to help.
The group setting up PDJT is McConnell, Graham, and Pence. Graham just found out this aide was going to say this so he quickly changed his vote to have witnesses. 90% chance this aide will be called as a witness.
If this is true then the gop is finished forever
I think it’s about the report that McCarthy called Trump and asked him to “call off” his supporters, who according to McCarthy were breaking into his offices. Exactly how Trump was supposed to do this isn’t clear, but apparently he gave an angry answer to McCarthy. There is a witness, at least by hearsay, a Dem whom McCarthy supposedly told about this. So that’s no doubt what is behind this.
How did the Pence aid know that Trump knew this information. Yesterday, Trump’s team said that Trump did not know this.
“PDJT knew about Pence’s life being in danger and did nothing to help.”
What, exactly, was Trump supposed to do, or able to do, in that that period of time — a few minutes — to get Pence out?
An what was DJT supposed to do about it? Put on his Superman cape and go rescue him or call in the troops, oops possse comitatus would apply and then the dems would want to impeach him. Oh I guess he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.
It is up the the Speaker of the House to control the security of the capitol. He has no authority over the Capitol Police or the National Guard and neither does the Mayor of DC. He is only CIC of US Military.
