We still need to know...

1. Who planted the pipe bombs at RNC and DNC headquarters? The DNC one right before VP Harris was to be there.

2. What were they going to do at the Supreme Court? Carry the corpse of Pence there so they would bless the coup?

3. Who did they have waiting in the bag at the SCROTUS besides Coke Can to help them install TFG? Both Powell and Pence's aide have mentioned this. There were 2 supposedly waiting to help.

4. How did the insurrection groups know that TFG was going to casually call for them to go to Capitol? Who exactly are the seditionists? Who did that planning? Was it done at the Dec18 meeting? We know TFG said it but who planned it?

Please add your own, or maybe I have missed something.

are there any tape recordings of any of these damning conversations? Alexander Butterfield was on TV
last night and he gave up Nixon by mentioning that there were plenty of tapes.

Remember that after the batshit team and the normal team screaming match, after both teams left the Oval the night of Dec 18, Trump by himself, not taking either team's advice, sent The Tweet a couple of hours later, early morning of Dec 19, inviting 'his people' to DC on Jan 6.

Later others were told and related his plan among themselves. Everyone in the WH, by Jan 2, knew but were to keep mum.

Rewatch this part of the hearing to find out who sent which tweet to whom, but IIRC, I think one, at least, was Lindall's tweet to Stop the Steal's Ali Alexander, who passed it on to his people, armed and ready to "fight like hell."

And who, ultimately, gave the order for the National Guard to "stand down"?

I really think we need to get to the bottom of who the insiders were; Congressional members, staff for all the big players, Secret Service (worrisome), Capital Police…

Also this, some Congressional members, especially their staff, talked about how their ability to communicate from their hunkered down positions was hampered by, well, having been sabotaged in some manner. I can’t remember specific items, but things like intercoms not functioning, items removed or disconnected that would have been needed to somehow contact anyone on the outside. Effectively leaving them pinned down, helpless, easy to find and round-up.

(Some of those devices missing or not working were called “panic buttons”)

In many respects, J6 could have been so much worse.
