It turns out that Trump's chief of staff.
Mark Meadows, who of course slammed the January six writers in his latest book.
The chiefs chief was actually potentially directly responsible for
planning and a raging this attack on the Capitol.
That is by the way, according to one witness who has
testified as part of this January six investigation.
Of course, there's the House committee looking into the matter and
here's what we know.
So far Scott Johnston who worked on the team that helped plan the ellipse rally.
That was the rally prior to the rioters marching over to the capitol Claims
that leading figures in the Trump administration.
And campaign deliberately planned to have crowds converge on the capital where
the 2020 election.
Was being certified and make it look like they went down there on their own.
So he described the phone call to this House select committee
as they're investigating it.
And Johnston says he overheard Mark Meadows,
then former President trump's Chief of Staff.
And Katrina Pearson trump's national campaign spokeswoman talking
with Kylie Kramer.
The Executive Director of Women for America first about plans for
a march to the capitol.
Johnston said the conversation was clearly audible
to him since it took place on a speakerphone.
As he drove creamer between the groups rallies in the final three days of 2020.
So Kremer's group, by the way, women for
America first helped lead the January 6th rally at the White House ellipse.
Where trump delivered that speech and told the supporters to fight like hell and
said that he expected them to march to the capitol.
And this is by the way in direct conflict with what Mark Meadows had written in
his book, in the book.
He recounted his time in the White House and
Meadows called the January six violence.
The action of a handful, just a handful idea of fanatics across town.
>> The people that were scaling the buildings,
what I want to remind people to continue to say.
When we talk about this terrorist attack,
which four lives were taken and I believe that three of those lives.
I mean we lost more than that, right?.
Because there there were some officers who took their own lives after this
from the trauma tha.
But a lot of these people are the Blue lives matter people that
were participating in these in this terrorist attack.
But of course they were.
Why would the megalomaniac not tell people hey go march on my behalf.
And make it seem like it was your own because nobody was doing it.
Nobody was gonna do that.
Nobody nobody was gonna assemble themselves.
We've been hearing this for for the last what four years Nobody was going to say.
Hey, what we need to do on January six assemble the crew.
We're going to D C.
And we're taking the White House.
Of course they were being they were they've been promised victory.
They've been promised that they protection and they've also been promised.
That they are going to do away with all of the people that are trying to take what is
theirs.
Which isn't but but of course they did.
We don't believe for a second that they were not involved.
Yeah I mean I thought about that a lot.
Right?. Because in order to carry out what those
rioters did you have to have some feeling of protection and inside information?.
Alright. Yeah.
And so I genuinely think that they were under the assumption.
Because in trump's speech he claimed he was going to march over there with them.
So they thought not only is trump with us, not only is trump encouraging us.
I mean he's pardoned a bunch of people already like all sorts of bad actors,
criminals, all sorts of people were pardoned given clemency.
You know during trump's administration he'll do the same for
us if we get in trouble and guess what?.
He didn't come to your rescue.
And I'm not surprised at what we're now learning by scott johnston.
And here's what he says,
he heard by the way the fact that they're having this conversation on speakerphone.
But you're expecting better from I'm not but
it just goes to show you they think they're above the law.
They think that they don't have to worry about any consequences.
Don't have to worry about anyone overhearing them as they're allegedly
planning what's about to go down.
No they were they were running the White House I don't know,
I don't want to say anything.
Because I'm not trying to offend any group of people, but
they were running the White House like it was, you know, a trailer park.
I don't know if it was in the leaks, the lack of I mean,
care when it came to classified or sensitive material.
Johnston says they were very open about how they were going to be,
how there was going to be a march.
Everyone knew there was going to be a march.
And then yeah, he just says according to Johnston Meadows Pearson.
And Creamer discussed the possibility of setting up a permit.
To make the march from the White House to the capitol official.
He says the trio decided against officially permitting the march,
citing concerns about security costs.
And about the optics of a sitting president organizing a push toward
Congress as lawmakers certified his loss in the 2020 election.
I mean, better to keep your fingerprints off of it.
Right. I mean,
that was the real thinking behind it.
According to Johnston rally organizers were constantly using burner phones,
cheap prepaid cells that can be harder to trace.
Because they're not personally identified with the user or
users account to talk about potential permits.
And plans for a march with trump aides.
I'm the one that brought that bought the burner phones, johnson says.
So he says he bought him, he went and bought him and he had the receipts and
they knew exactly.
First of all let me take that trailer park comment back because I have friends that
grew up in trailer parks.
And they got good sense and it's a bunch of good people that live in trailer parks.
But the burner phones that is drug culture,
that's corner boy culture, the wire criminal culture.
And it's amazing to me that they even used the terminology burner phones like you
got, you got the burner and then.
And then they have the audacity to judge the people
who live in these neighborhoods.
That this these are the circumstances of what has happened to them and
you are in the white house with all the money.
And all the privilege and all the whiteness in abundance.
And you still behaving like that when you don't have to like that is so
insulting to me.
It makes me so angry to know that there are these clowns.
They were, they are clowns on a speakerphone.
It's like a, like a what's his name?
Like a mike judge movie.
Like it doesn't even sound like this is real.
I know it's amazing.
So this, this is important new information.
It's important in giving us more of an inside look in the days prior to what
happened in the capital.
But the thing that I'm worried about is the aftermath,
like what is going to happen because there are names named here.
You have Meadows, you have Katrina Pearson,
you have all these specific people.
Who have been called out for their participation in organizing and
planning what happened in the nation's capital on January six.
So what will the consequences be?.
So, well, you know what?.
Our judicial system has been compromised since the beginning of time, but
now it's been taken to another level.
Our american politics is a clown fest.
It's a circus.
So what do we think is gonna happen?.
Nothing because we don't have faith in these people anymore because you have
liberals.
And conservatives alike, scared of Donald trump and what he might say and
what he might leak in addition to people.
Who are compromised because they want to get checks and
they don't want to be on the wrong side of wealth.
Because they don't care about anything else.
So what are we to do?.
Have faith?.
Do we really believe that anything is gonna happen when these spineless liberals
don't do what they need to do.
And they don't double down the way these people will double down just for
the party.
They don't care about what it is, as long as they maintain the power,
who's gonna do that on the liberal side.
And I mean, I think it just seems like they're constantly terrified
to implement any kind of consequence.
Because they're worried about how that will be used against them in the future
and we'll see how this all plays out.
But we are learning some fascinating details about what was really taking place
behind the scenes through this investigation.
I'm sure more will come out.
But for their part, all the individuals who have
been called out by johnston claim that they just deny all the claims.
No, we didn't have burner phones, johnson says I bought them.
So, he might have some evidence to show that he did do that.
We'll see how it all plays out.
But again, interesting update to this ongoing investigation.
