🚨Members of Trump’s failed campaign played key roles in orchestrating the Washington rally that incited the deadly Capitol assault.

At least 6 were paid THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS just weeks prior to the #TrumpInsurrection.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.🤬

A pro-Trump nonprofit group— Women for America First—hosted the 1/6 “Save America Rally,” but the public gathering permit lists >6 people as staff who were paid by Trump’s campaign. Other staff scheduled to be “on site” during the rally have close ties to the WH.🤬

#Sedition
📌At least 1 was working for the Trump campaign THIS MONTH. Megan Powers was listed as 1 of 2 operations managers for the 1/6 rally—her LinkedIn profile says she was the Trump campaign’s director of operations into January 2021.

#TrumpInsurrection #GOPSedition
🔥At least 3 of the Trump campaign aides named on the rally permit rushed to obscure their connections to the #Insurrection—they deactivated or locked down their social media profiles & removed tweets referencing the rally. 2 blocked a reporter who asked questions.

#GOPSedition
📌Caroline Wren—a @GOP fundraiser—is named as a “VIP Advisor” on the permit. Between mid-March to mid-November, Trump’s campaign paid Wren $20,000/month—she was a national finance consultant for Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee between the Trump’s campaign & the RNC.
Wren retweeted Stop the Steal’s Jan 2 tweet thanking @SenateGOP who said they’d vote to overturn Biden’s won, including seditionists @HawleyMO & @TedCruz. She also retweeted tweets promoting the event by Trump, Eric Trump & Katrina Pierson, spokesperson for Trump’s 2016 campaign.
📌Maggie Mulvaney—niece of @MickMulvaneyOMB—is listed on the permit as the “VIP Lead.” She worked as director of finance operations for the Trump campaign
and was paid $5,000 every 2 weeks by Trump’s reelection campaign, most recently on Nov 13.

#TrumpInsurrection #GOPSedition
The #TrumpInsurrection prompted Mick Mulvaney to quit as Trump’s special envoy to Northern Ireland. He said that remaining in the post would prompt people to say “‘Oh yeah, you work for the guy who tried to overtake the government.’”

TOO LATE.🤬

🚨@WSJ re­view of thou­sands of Proud Boys’ posts on Par­ler, Telegram & Gab—including those now-deleted—show the group re­peat­edly in­vok­ing Trump’s rhetoric prior to the Capitol attack and that they **viewed Trump’s mes­sages as a call to action**.🤬

wsj.com/articles/proud…
‼️Just 3 days before their attack on the Capitol, Enrique Tarrio—leader of the Proud Boys—posted on Telegram: “What if we invade it?”

The first reply read: “January 6th is D day in America.”

Premeditation of their #SeditiousConspiracy to overthrow our government.🤬

@lauferlaw
In December, after Trump tweeted “be there, will be wild,” about the 1/6 rally, the Long Island chapter of the Proud Boys posted that Trump supporters have been “waiting for the green light from the President.”

“Everyone who said ‘Mr. President, just say when?’ He just did.”💥

🔥@BenSasse: “The violence...is not a protest gone awry or the work of “a few bad apples.” It is the blossoming of a rotten seed that took root in the @GOP some time ago & has been nourished by treachery, poor political judgment & COWARDICE.”

“January 6 is a new red-letter day in US history...because a subset of the invaders apparently were attempting to disrupt a constitutionally mandated meeting of the Congress, kidnap the @VP & somehow force him to declare Trump the victor in an election he LOST.”🤬

#TrumpTreason
🔥”When Trump leaves office, my party faces a choice: We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them.”

🚨🚨BREAKING: #MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell’s notes for his meeting with Trump show that he lobbied to install Trump loyalists to gin up “evidence” of electoral “fraud” and impose #MartialLaw to keep Trump in power.

The #TrumpCoupAttempt continues.🤬

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
#InsurrectionAct now as a result of the assault on the...#MartialLaw if necessary upon the first hint of any”

Lindell appears to be arguing that, in response to the violence at the Capitol, Trump should invoke the #InsurrectionAct, which would allow him to impose #MartialLaw.🤬
“Move Kash Patel to @CIA Acting.”

Kash Patel—former staffer to @DevinNunes—was key in Nunes’s efforts to undercut the #TrumpRussia investigation.

As CIA Director, he could declassify documents related to the #TrumpRussia🇷🇺probe that some #traitors want released.🤬

😱From a DC police officer: “We were battling 15,000 people. It looked like a medieval battle scene.”

So many more people could have been murdered during the #TrumpInsurrection....

Trump’s #Seditionists beat officers with metal pipes and a pole with an American flag attached, and used stun guns. Officer Fanone suffered a mild heart attack and drifted in and out of consciousness.

Fanone said he heard rioters shout. “Kill him with his own gun!”🤬
Here’s video of Trump’s violent #Seditionists beating an officer with a pole with an American flag.🤬

🚨BREAKING: Dozens of people on @FBI’s #terrorist watch list were in DC for the #TrumpInsurrection.

Those terrorists then tried to overthrow our government.🤬

#GOPSedition
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…’s
The majority of Trump’s terrorists are white supremacists whose past conduct was so alarming that their names had been previously entered into the national Terrorist Screening Database.

And Trump threw gasoline on their raging fire of hate.🤬

#ConvictTrump #TrumpInsurrection
The presence of so many watch-listed #terrorists at the Capitol *without more robust security measures to protect elected leaders, including the @VP* is another example of the intelligence failures preceding the #TrumpCoupAttempt that sent lawmakers running for their lives.🤬

‼️ Donovan Crowl—a 50 yo former @USMC who served as a helicopter mechanic—was among the uniformed #seditionists. While storming the Capitol, he wore a combat helmet, ballistic goggles, and a tactical vest with a handheld radio.

ARREST HIM NOW.🤬
#sedition

A patch on Crowl’s sleeve identified him as a member of the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government group identified as one of the largest and most dangerous extremist groups in the country that's been involved in several armed standoffs with law enforcement in recent years.🤬
Mary McCord, a former acting assistant AG for national security in DOJ, said that while “these types of modern unlawful militias have been around for decades, ever since Ruby Ridge and Waco,” Trump’s incitement had encouraged their #insurrection.🤬
