🚨🚨 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. 🧵
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/
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/
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/
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/
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 top is what it looked like a few hours ago - now someone has gone in and changed $8 million to $8 billion in the FPDS system. Also the dates are different. 2/

Four years ago today, Trump allies were still trying to overturn the 2020 election. On Jan. 5, 2021, attorney Ken Chesebro & Trump campaign aide G. Michael Brown went to Capitol Hill to hand off fake elector documents (from WI & MI) to aides of Rep. Mike Kelly R-PA 🧵

The FBI has for the first time released security video from Jan. 5, 2021, showing a suspect leaving a pipe bomb outside DNC headquarters on Capitol Hill. 🧵 1/
The video was released the same day as a House GOP report about the failure to arrest anyone in the pipe bomb case from Jan. 6. Explosive devices were left outside the DNC and RNC, and were discovered the next day around 1 pm on Jan. 6.

The bench where the bomb was found was just outside the frame (on the right) of this nearby Capitol Police security camera. You can see the suspect walking away at 7:54 pm on Jan. 5. 3/
Rep. Kay Granger R-TX did not run for reelection in 2024. She gave up her gavel as the chair of the House Appropriations Committee in April. The last time Granger voted was in July. No explanation has been offered by her office. 1/ 🧵
Granger's cast her last House vote on July 24, 2024, roll call 389.
But during that time, Granger's staff submitted 'Extensions of Remarks' in the Congressional Record - which make it look like the Texas Republican was still on Capitol Hill. 2/
Granger did return to Capitol Hill for a Nov. 19 reception, as the House Appropriations Committee unveiled her portrait as the former chair of the panel.
But while Granger was photographed with her colleagues, she did not cast any votes on the House floor that week. 3/
