Jan. 6 White House logs given to House show 7-hour gap in Trump calls

The House select committee is investigating whether it has the full record and whether Trump communicated that day through backchannels, phones of aides or personal disposable phones

washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"Internal White House records from the day of the attack on the US Capitol... show a gap in Trump’s phone logs of seven hours and 37 minutes, including the period when the building was being violently assaulted"

washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"The seven-hour gap also stands in stark contrast to the extensive public reporting about phone conversations he [Trump] had with allies during the attack..."

"The House panel is investigating whether Trump communicated that day through backchannels, phones of aides or personal disposable phones, known as “burner phones,”...

The committee is also scrutinizing whether it received the full logs from that day."
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"In a recent court filing, the Jan. 6 committee asserted it has “a good-faith basis for concluding that the President [Trump] and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States” and obstruct the counting of electoral votes by Congress."
"A federal judge said in a ruling Monday that Trump “more likely than not” committed a federal crime in trying to obstruct the congressional count of electoral college votes on Jan. 6."

"Those records were given to the committee by the National Archives earlier this year after the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s request for the court to block the committee from obtaining White House documents from Jan. 6."

#Jan6th
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"In January, The Post first reported that some of the Trump White House records turned over to the committee were potentially incomplete, including records that had been ripped up and taped back together."

#PresidentialRecordsAct
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"The call to the vice president was part of Trump’s attempt to put into motion a plan, advocated by Bannon and outlined in a memo written by conservative lawyer John Eastman, that would enable Trump to hold on to the presidency"

#Jan6thInsurrection
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"Bannon quickly pressed Trump that he needed to call Pence and tell him again to hold off on doing anything that would enable certification.

Trump agreed"

#Jan6thInsurrection
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"Trump’s final call with Pence is not listed in the call log, even though multiple people close to both men said that call occurred sometime in the late morning before Trump headed to the “Save America” rally on the Ellipse."

#Jan6th
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"Trump then placed calls to Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), the Republican leader, and Sen. Josh Hawley (Mo.), but... McConnell declined Trump’s call. Hawley, a Trump ally, was the first senator to declare he would object to the certification"

#Jan6th
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"Stephen Miller – who told Fox News in December 2020 that an “alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote” – spoke with Trump for 26 minutes on the morning of Jan. 6"

#Jan6th
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"At 11:17 am, the WH daily diary states, “The President talked on a phone call to an unidentified person.” That vague call listing, with no notes on duration, is the last official record of a phone conversation that Trump had until the evening of Jan. 6."

washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"Trump’s supporters breached the Capitol building shortly after 2 pm...

According to the logs, Trump made his first phone call in more than seven hours at 6:54 p.m., when he instructed the operator to call aide Daniel Scavino Jr."

#Jan6th
washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
"Earlier this year, the Supreme Court... rejected Trump’s request to block the release of some White House records...

The Supreme Court’s order in January included a dissent from Justice Clarence Thomas."

"Donald Trump on Friday issued what can only be described as a threat against Mitch McConnell, declaring that the Senate minority leader’s support for bipartisan bills amounts to a “DEATH WISH.”"

News orgs fail to ask GOP pols about this threat by Trump.

"What should reporters be doing?

Let’s start with 5 basic rules.

First, they cannot leave these exchanges for the end of an interview, when the guest can filibuster until the commercial break. Do it upfront, and don’t allow them to move on"

"During his 4 years in office, Trump never strictly followed the rules & customs for handling sensitive government documents...

Documents that would ordinarily be kept under lock & key mingled with piles of newspaper articles in Trump’s living quarters"

"Aides also found other ways to circumvent Trump’s “sticky fingers,” as one put it."

Donald "sticky fingers" Trump

"Russian paratrooper Pavel Filatyev spent more than a month fighting in Ukraine after his poorly equipped unit was ordered to march from its base in Crimea for what commanders called a routine exercise."

"Filatyev was evacuated after being wounded.

Over the next 5 weeks, deeply troubled by the devastation caused by ... Putin’s bloody invasion, he wrote down his recollections in hopes that telling his country the truth about the war could help stop it."

"The searing takeaway was not [KKK klansman David] Duke himself, but nearly 700,000 Louisianans who, knowing what he stood for, voted for him anyway."

"On Election Day 2016, nearly 63 million Americans voted for Trump, giving him more than 300 electoral votes and the White House.
The takeaway?
They, too, knew where he stood and voted for him anyway."

"Four years later, the impeached, scandal-scarred president went before the American people once again.

By then, Trump was known all too well.

In his losing bid for reelection, Trump attracted 74.2 million votes."
[HE STILL LOST.]

SCOTUS "agreement to hear Moore v. Harper... isn’t just bad news for efforts to control gerrymandering.

The Court’s right-wing supermajority is poised to let state lawmakers overturn voters’ choice in presidential elections."

#SCOTUSIsCorrupt

"Trump then tried and failed, lawlessly, to muscle the GOP state legislators into discarding Biden’s victory and appointing Trump electors instead.

The Moore case... could give Republicans legal cover in 2024 to do as Trump demanded in 2020."

#ISLtheory

"That is a genuinely radical proposition...

The idea that legislatures stand unbound by any limit from their own founding documents is a fringe debating point invented for Republican political advantage."
