BREAKING: Moments ago at the Jan 6 hearing, a key White House aide disclosed and confirmed:
- Trump was told that people at his rally had AR-15s, knives, bear spray, and other weapons and had plans to enter the Capitol.
- Trump demanded the metal detectors at the rally be taken down so the armed people could get in, saying "They aren't here to hurt me."
- Knowing all this, Trump still directed the mob to march on the Capitol.
- Trump was urged to respond to the insurrection and threats to his Vice President, but replied that Mike Pence "deserved it."
- Trump ordered the Secret Service to take him to the Capitol, and when they told him no, he lunged for the steering wheel and physically assaulted an agent.
- Trump's staff have recently committed witness tampering, attempting to scare witnesses appearing in front of the January 6th Committee
What the committee has exposed here is jaw-dropping -- this wasn't a spontaneous insurrection, it was a violent coup attempt. It is time for Merrick Garland to do his job. Failure to hold ALL those who broke the law legally accountable will allow future attacks to succeed and the threat to our democracy will only grow.
We will deliver signatures to Merrick Garland’s office and share the support for this petition with the media and key allies in Congress.
It is important to remember that Americans have already seen the factual evidence of a criminal conspiracy that started long before the violence on Jan 6 and that continues to this day.
This was -- and still is -- an attack on our vote, our voice, and our democracy. The threat will continue and grow until those who broke the law are held accountable.
We must hold those involved in this criminal conspiracy accountable -- even if they are former Presidents or members of Congress -- in order to protect our right to vote and choose our own leaders.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
