On January 15th, 2021 Mike Lindell had a meeting at the White House that was not on the presidents daily schedule. I somehow doubt it was about pillows. Remember this photo?
A wee 🧵👇🏻

That photo when enhanced shows the text of what was on the papers he was holding. This was definitely not about pillows. Why is Mike Pillows meeting with trump in WH to discuss issues of national security (and the election)? Let’s see what we can see when we look at it closer.
The title appears to include ‘TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO SAVE THE’ then it continues but we can’t see it.
Then ‘THE CONSTITUTION’
Some may speculate to even say it says something along the lines of ‘BE TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO SAVE THE’ in which case, this document is meant to be advisory.
So, if this is advice, it is something someone has planned, thought through and is advising the president to do. Mike Pillows? He’s the one delivering this message to trump? He’s advising? I don’t wanna hear any ish about ‘qualifications’ from the right after this. #SCOTUS 👀
Lindell says that this six page document was given to him by ‘an attorney’. (📌1) He does not name the attorney but there are so many possible attorneys around we are left to ponder which one. It’s not Pat Cippolini, he gave Lindell the bums rush and said ‘we’ll look into it’.
You’ll notice below, the first real context we can glean from what we can see shows ‘Colon NOW as National Acting Security’. We can assume ‘Advisor’ is the next part of that phrase. Then the next bit we can make out clearly has to do with Fort Meade.
Well, the document says Fort Mead. I wonder if the author did a General Spellcheck and just missed it. Fort Meade is in Maryland. Fort Meade houses Intel and cyber operations. There is an attorney from Fort Meade with a background in Cyber Security. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Looking closer, that first line may read ‘Frank Colon NOW as National Security’. Frank Colon is from Fort Meade. Did he have ‘expertise and is up to speed on election issues.’ Election issues? What election issues? 🤔. The ones that resulted in Arizona’s fraudit?
Why would trump be advised to appoint a lawyer from Fort Meade (which houses Intel and cyber operations) who has expertise on ‘election issues’ as National Security Advisor?
Why would a pillow salesman be the one to advise this?🤷🏼♂️
The next section clearly says ‘Act now as a result on the assault on the’. We can discern 2 things here. ‘Act’ is capitalized but does not begin a new sentence. There is a word in front of it. I can’t quite make it out, but it sure does look like it could be Insurrection.
We can also discern the second thing and that is the context would be in relation to the ‘assault on the’ Capitol, meaning January 6th. Remember, this was Jan 15th. Then it goes on to say ‘martial law if necessary upon the first hint of any’
Any what? Legit political discourse?
Who was waiting for the Insurrection Act?
Who was calling for martial law?
Right now, Oathkeeper Leader Stewart Rhodes is asking the court to let him out of jail because he was only there on Jan 6 in case trump invoked the Insurrection Act. He didn’t, so Rhodes wants to go home.

Martial Law was Mike Flynn’s jam. Here we have Mike Pillows advising trump using a doc with Oathkeepers & Flynn’s wishes, Sidney Powell’s name, and advising Kash Patel be moved to Acting CIA Director. Cool…cool.
As cool as the other side of the pillow.
Sorry, who should lead CIA? Patel was Chief of Staff for the Department of Defense, which did not cover itself in glory on Jan 6. Oh and also, Chris Miller tied the hands of any potential response prior to the Jan 6 insurrection. I’m sure Patel was very ‘qualified’ though...
…what with his work on the House Intelligence committee for Devin Nunes and all. The final clear portion of this document we can make out says ‘Foreign Interference in the election.’ It probably says ‘based on foreign interference in the election’ which raises my good eyebrow.
If we take what we now know and apply it to this document, could this have been talking about Executive Order 13848 that is referenced in the draft Executive Order provided by Mike Flynn and Phil Waldron dated Dec 16th?

The last bit from which any discernible sense can be made, relates to the fact they wanted to ‘Make clear this is China/Iran’ which serves to downplay any Russian involvement. Well, we’ve certainly heard that before. Intel Community said as much in the Jan 7 report (per EO13848)
The document goes on to talk about ‘domestic actors’ and provides advice on what to ‘Instruct Frank’ which gives a lot more credibility to the thought that they were advising to install Frank Colon as NSA. Who would have even known about Pentagon cyber atty Frank Colon?
Could this 6 pages reviewed by Mike Lindell at the WH be *another* document produced out of the Mike Flynn/Phil Waldron world of former intel and future cyber audits? Didn’t Lindell put on an entire Cybersymposium with Waldron present?
@maddow @JoyAnnReid @January6thCmte
Is any of this linked to Arizona’s ‘forensic’ audit or cyber use of Italian satellites to change votes, or dead Venezuelans communicating with Chinese thermostats? I guess the point of all this is:
Do we know who Mike Lindell is, really?🧐
@MaddowBlog @ZevShalev @visionsurreal
📌1 was about the 6 page document being given to Lindell by an atty. Which one? Who is the author?
Rudy Giuliani (law license suspended in NY)
Sidney Powell
Ivan Raiklin
John Eastman
Lin Wood
The list goes on
They’re all attorneys…so far.
I suppose it’s anyone’s guess really.
