As an alternative of engaged on stopping the assault on the Capitol. the White Home and their allies instantly cooked up Antifa conspiracies to unfold.
At 3:45 p.m., Trump marketing campaign spokesman Jason Miller steered to Meadows and Trump aide Dan Scavino that Trump ought to tweet: “Name me loopy, however concepts for 2 tweets from POTUS: 1) Dangerous apples, doubtless ANTIFA or different crazed leftists, infiltrated at the moment s peaceable protest over the fraudulent vote depend. Violence isn’t acceptable! MAGA supporters embrace our police and the rule of regulation and will depart the Capitol now! 2) The pretend information media who inspired this summer season s violent and radical riots at the moment are making an attempt in charge peaceable and harmless MAGA supporters for violent actions. This isn’t who we’re! Our individuals ought to head dwelling and let the criminals endure the results!”
Trump’s allies in Congress appeared to get the message. At 3:52 p.m., Greene advised Meadows: “Mark we don’t suppose these attackers are our individuals. We predict they’re Antifa. Dressed like Trump supporters.”
5 minutes later, Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican, texted Meadows: “Cap Police advised me final night time they’d been warned that at the moment there’d be loads of Antifa wearing purple Trump shirts & hats & would doubtless get violent.”
The texts usually are not the way in which that accountable individuals would behave if the Capitol was below assault. Responsible individuals who knew what was coming and knew that they had been accountable for it could instantly start to prepare dinner up conspiracies and look in charge somebody or one thing else.
The Trump allies are exhibiting indicators of guilt, and if that is simply the data that the Committee has from Mark Meadows’s texts, there are doubtless extra bombshells coming when the entire items are put collectively.
