The first is a demonstration billed as the largest armed protest ever to take place on American soil.
Another is a protest in honor of Ashli Babbitt, the woman killed while trying to climb into the Speakers Lobby during Wednesdays pro-Trump siege of the Capitol.
And another demonstration, which three members said was by far the most concerning plot, would involve insurrectionists forming a perimeter around the Capitol, the White House and the Supreme Court, and then blocking Democrats from entering the Capitol ― perhaps even killing them ― so that Republicans could take control of the government.
Lawmakers were told that the plot to encircle the Capitol also included plans to surround the White House ― so that no one could harm Trump ― and the Supreme Court, simply to shut down the courts. The plan to surround the Capitol includes assassinating Democrats as well as Republicans who didnt support Trumps effort to overturn the election ― and allowing other Republicans to enter the building and control government.
It was pretty overwhelming, one member said.
