The objective report of what Engels said was that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol and Engel disagreed.

Now, let's be real for a moment.

Basically what is being asked is "forget everything you know about Donald Trump".

Imagine you are driving a car. Donald Trump is the passenger. He wants to go to the Capitol. You are refusing to take him there.

Apply everything you know to how you think his "differing view" will find expression.

Ah, yes, Engel said "We're not going" and Trump said, "Ah, very well. Do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Yes a source saying they are willing to testify, it's not the same as actually testifying under oath Walleye Jun 2022 #12
