More damning, but unsurprising, information is coming out about the Malignant Loser's seditious actions on January 6:
Hours before the deadly attack on the US Capitol this year, Donald Trump made several calls from the White House to top lieutenants at the Willard hotel in Washington and talked about ways to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election win from taking place on 6 January.
The former president first told the lieutenants his vice-president, Mike Pence, was reluctant to go along with the plan to commandeer his largely ceremonial role at the joint session of Congress in a way that would allow Trump to retain the presidency for a second term.
But as Trump relayed to them the situation with Pence, he pressed his lieutenants about how to stop Biden’s certification from taking place on 6 January, and delay the certification process to get alternate slates of electors for Trump sent to Congress.
The former president’s remarks came as part of strategy discussions he had from the White House with the lieutenants at the Willard – a team led by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn and Trump strategist Steve Bannon – about delaying the certification.
Multiple sources, speaking to the Guardian on the condition of anonymity, described Trump’s involvement in the effort to subvert the results of the 2020 election.
Trump’s remarks reveal a direct line from the White House and the command center at the Willard. The conversations also show Trump’s thoughts appear to be in line with the motivations of the pro-Trump mob that carried out the Capitol attack and halted Biden’s certification, until it was later ratified by Congress.
The January 6 select committee may have already interviewed some or all of the "multiple sources" who were obviously witnesses to the calls. Let justice prevail for once.
BONUS: The way the Malignant Loser was also working the Justice Department amounted to criminal sedition, sez
“In this case, what may get shielded from view are Trump’s potential conversations about corrupting law enforcement into a broad plot to thwart a legitimately elected government from taking over.” That’s a coup d’etat, folks. It’s criminal sedition. https://t.co/Q0XVGFnSvS

The Rightwing Coup Attempt on January 6th was multi-pronged, coordinated, and involved multiple elected officials and plans to assassinate high ranking Democratic Representatives. The Next GOP attack will have the benefit of practice and a complainant Corporate Media which is reluctant to call this a full-fledged attempt to overthrow the United States government or are complicit because they like the ratings.
