🚨🚨 The Jan. 6 security tapes have a big surprise.
There is video of attorney Ken Chesebro & Trump campaign aide G. Michael Brown handing off fake GOP elector documents (from Wisconsin & Michigan) to aides of Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA - on Jan. 5. 🧵 Image
While Chesebro & Brown delivered the documents on Jan. 5, aides to Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA were unable to get the materials to Pence, as the Senate Parliamentarian refused to accept the fake elector envelopes. More at 2/ jamiedupree.substack.com/p/video-surpri…

The Capitol Hill security cameras first picked up Chesebro and Brown at 3:40 pm on Jan. 5, as they walked to the Longworth House Office Building. 3/ Image
Chesbro and Brown walked to the Longworth House Office Building and waited outside. At 3:51 pm on Jan. 5, two aides from the office of Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA came outside to meet them; they returned with the fake elector documents. 4/
The aides to Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA walked the fake elector documents to the Capitol. But that's where things went haywire. A source familiar with the matter says that the Senate Parliamentarian's office refused to accept the envelopes on Jan. 5. 5/
Unable to deliver the fake GOP documents from Michigan and Wisconsin on Jan. 5, the aides to Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA then spent 30 minutes just walking around the second floor of the Capitol - seemingly waiting for instructions. 6/ Image
Out of options, the Kelly aides took the fake GOP elector documents from MI/WI back to their office.

That led to a scramble the next day, on Jan. 6, involving Sen. Ron Johnson R-WI, to get the WI/MI documents to VP Pence. Those efforts all failed. 7/ Image
How do we know there were fake elector documents in those envelopes? Chesebro said so in his own text messages on Jan. 6, when he said that he dropped off the documents to aides for Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA a day earlier. 8/ Image
The Jan. 6 committee couldn't figure out where and how the fake GOP elector documents were delivered on Jan. 5. It took me several months of going through the Capitol security tapes to find the answer. jamiedupree.substack.com/p/video-surpri…

The new economic plans of Vice President Harris include efforts to hold down food and grocery prices. GOP critics have called it price controls and called her a communist. What's actually in the proposal? A short thread. 1/ 🧵
We don't have legislative language of any bills, but these are the bullet points released by the Harris campaign: 2/ Image
One part of this plan would fight consolidation in the food industry, whether that's grocery store mergers or the lack of competition in the meatpacking industry - that's been a bipartisan concern, witness this 2022 headline about Sen. Kevin Cramer R-ND 3/ Image

After the federal appeals court arguments on immunity for a President, Donald Trump spoke to reporters in DC (he took no questions).

Trump's statement was peppered with a familiar list of lies about the 2020 election.

It's the same ole greatest hits. 1/
Trump: "We found tremendous voter fraud"

Trump has never stopped repeating what's become a never-ending firehose of false claims about the 2020 election. He has no evidence - but keeps making the same accusations which led to a mob attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. 2/
Trump: 2020 "was a rigged election, everybody knows it"

The election wasn't rigged or 'stollen' to use Trump's term. Trump has no evidence to prove that it was, but he keeps saying it again and again. 3/

I went back this week to watch more of the internal U.S. Capitol security tapes from Jan. 6.

My focus this time was on the various doors to see how rioters got into the Capitol.

Police officers didn't welcome them in, that's for sure. 🧵 1/
There were 5 main doors where rioters got in on Jan. 6:

➡️Senate Wing Door (first floor)
➡️Senate Fire Door (first floor)
➡️Upper West Terrace Door (basement, West front)
➡️Columbus Doors (center steps, second floor East side)
➡️House East Front (second floor, House steps) 2/
The Senate Wing Door was where the initial breach occurred, as rioters broke windows, opened the doors, and flooded into the Capitol at 2:12 pm.

This breach quickly forced the evacuation of Senators a floor above. 3/ Image

Courtesy of the House Administration Committee, I had 3 hours today to view Capitol security tapes from Jan. 6.

What I saw was familiar - Donald Trump supporters attacking police, smashing their way into the Capitol, and forcing lawmakers to flee from the House and Senate. 🧵1/
I have no idea how people think these Capitol security tapes will exonerate anyone or change what happened on Jan. 6.

Frankly, the tapes are simply chock full of video evidence that can send a lot of people to jail. 2/
I'm a reporter, so I see nothing wrong with releasing many of the Jan. 6 tapes that I watched today.

It's exactly what you've seen already - like this from the Senate wing door that was breached by rioters. 3/ Image

This is the Fulton County, GA mug shot of Michael Roman, who was one of those indicted along with Donald Trump.

Roman worked for the Trump campaign, and helped organize slates of fake electors in a series of states where Trump lost to Joe Biden. 🧵1/ Image
Roman reportedly gave copies of fake elector documents from WI & MI to Matt Stroia, who was then the Chief of Staff to Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA.

In his deposition with the Jan. 6 committee, Roman repeatedly took the Fifth when asked about his contacts with Stroia. 2/ Image
Roman was also pressed about getting documents (from MI & WI) through Stroia to the Senate Parliamentarian.

Not asked is whether staffers from Kelly's office tried to take the MI/WI fake elector documents to the Parliamentarian. 3/ Image

On Meet the Press today, Mike Pence said he asked the Senate Parliamentarian directly in a meeting on Jan. 3, 2021 if she had received any certificates from fake GOP electors.

Pence said the answer was no.

But emails from that day paint a much different story.

🧵 1/
On Jan. 2, Pence aide Hannah Lankford emailed Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, asking for copies of any alternate (fake) electors sent to the Senate.

We know this from emails released by the Jan. 6 committee.

On Jan. 3 - before the Parliamentarian met with Pence at the U.S. Capitol about electoral vote procedures on Jan. 6 - the Parliamentarian emailed copies of documents received from fake GOP electors in five states - PA, NV, NM, GA, and AZ. 3/ Image
