TODAY'S ENTRY INTO THE HISTORY OF NOT GETTING IT...
How do you ever pay off the debt? Now you can do it through other means. I know I'm the best in the world. The best—I don't want to tell you what those means are, but you can pay off the debt through other means. But the one thing that you can do is pay it off through growth, and we've never had growth like this. Look at the numbers. Look at the poverty numbers. The lowest we've had in…ever. Look at the murder numbers. Look at the crime numbers. We have the best crime numbers we've ever had in history.

I ran the food crew at what turned out be the nearest big box store to where the family center was set up. Sold and donated, a week's worth of bottled water went out in hours. Doctors sliced the shooter's brain, but found nothing. And not a damn thing's been done about the guns. Shame on them all...

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH 1) TEAM 2) OUR ACTIONS 3) IMPERATIVE 4) OBSTRUCTIVE PURPOSE #WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
1) TEAM
ON THE DAY THAT I WAS APPOINTED, I PLEDGED THAT I WOULD EXERCISE INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT, FOLLOW THE BEST TRADITIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, AND CONDUCT MY WORK EXPEDITIOUSLY AND THOROUGHLY TO REACH WHATEVER OUTCOME THE FACTS AND THE LAW DICTATED. WITH THE AID OF AN OUTSTANDING TEAM, THAT IS WHAT I DID.
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
2) OUR ACTIONS
OUR WORK RESTED UPON THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUE OF OUR DEMOCRACY THAT WE EXIST AS "A GOVERNMENT OF LAWS, AND NOT OF MEN." IN MAKING DECISIONS AS A SPECIAL COUNSEL, I CONSIDERED AS A FIRST PRINCIPLE WHETHER OUR ACTIONS WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO UPHOLDING THE RULE OF LAW, AND ACTED ACCORDINGLY
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
3) IMPERATIVE
I HEEDED THE IMPERATIVE THAT "NO MAN IN THIS COUNTRY IS SO HIGH THAT HE IS ABOVE THE LAW. SIMPLY PUT: THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S GUIDING MANDATE, WHICH MY OFFICE STROVE TO UPHOLD, IS THAT POWER, POLITICS, INFLUENCE, STATUS, WEALTH, FEAR AND FAVOR SHOULD NOT IMPEDE JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW.
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
4) OBSTRUCTIVE PURPOSE
THE OFFICE ANTICIPATED THAT A CENTRAL DISPUTE AT TRIAL WOULD BE WHETHER MR. TRUMP PURSUED HIS OBSTRUCTIVE PURPOSE BY "DECEIT, CRAFT, OR TRICKERY, OR AT LEAST BY MEANS THAT ARE DISHONEST." THE OFFICE CONCLUDED THAT THE EVIDENCE ESTABLISHED BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THAT HE DID.

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH5) ADMISSIBLE
BUT FOR MR. TRUMP'S ELECTION AND IMMINENT RETURN TO THE PRESIDENCY, THE OFFICE ASSESSED THAT THE ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE WAS SUFFICIENT TO OBTAIN AND SUSTAIN A CONVICTION AT TRIAL.
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH6) DECISION
WHILE I RELIED GREATLY ON THE COUNSEL, JUDGEMENT AND ADVICE OF OUR TEAM, I WANT IT TO BE CLEAR THAT THE ULTIMATE DECISION TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST MR. TRUMP WAS MINE. IT IS A DECISION I STAND BEHIND FULLY. TO HAVE DONE OTHERWISE ON THE FACTS DEVELOPED DURING OUR WORK WOULD HAVE BEEN TO SHIRK MY DUTIES AS A PROSECUTOR AND A PUBLIC SERVANT. AFTER NEARLY 30 YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE, THAT IS A CHOICE I COULD NOT ABIDE.

7) NOT SO
THE DEFENDANT ASSERTS THAT HE IS IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION FOR HIS CRIMINAL SCHEME TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION BECAUSE, HE CLAIMS, IT ENTAILED OFFICIAL CONDUCT. NOT SO.

9) IMPERATIVE
I HEEDED THE IMPERATIVE THAT "NO MAN IN THIS COUNTRY IS SO HIGH THAT HE IS ABOVE THE LAW. SIMPLY PUT: THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S GUIDING MANDATE, WHICH MY OFFICE STROVE TO UPHOLD, IS THAT POWER, POLITICS, INFLUENCE, STATUS, WEALTH, FEAR AND FAVOR SHOULD NOT IMPEDE JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW.
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
10) A LEGAL DUTY
MR. TRUMP KNEW THAT THERE WAS NO OUTCOME-DETERMINATIVE FRAUD IN THE 2020 ELECTION, THAT MANY OF THE SPECIFIC CLAIMS HE MADE WERE UNTRUE, AND THAT HE HAD LOST THE ELECTION. HE KNEW THIS BECAUSE SOME OF THE HIGHEST-RANKING OFFICIALS IN HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION, INCLUDING THE VICE PRESIDENT, TOLD HIM DIRECTLY THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT HIS CLAIMS.THE GOVERNMENT WAS PREPARED TO PROVE MR. TRUMP'S CORRUPT INTENT - UNDER ANY DEFINITION BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT. TO ACT "CORRUPTLY" MEANS (1) ACTING DISHONESTLY (2) INTENDING THE USE OF UNLAWFUL MEANS (3) VIOLATING A LEGAL DUTY OR CAUSING OR SEEKING TO CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO VIOLATE A LEGAL DUTY, OR (4) SEEKING AN UNLAFUL OR IMPROPER BENEFIT OR ADVANTAGE. ACTING CORRUPTLY ALSO MEANS ACTING WITH COSCIOUSNESS OF WRONGOING.

11) THROUGHLINE
THE THROUGHLINE OF THESE EFFORTS WAS DECEIT: THE DEFENDANTS AND CO-CONSPIRATOR'S KNOWINGLY FALSE CLAIMS OF ELECTION FRAUD, THEY USED THESE LIES IN FURTHERANCE OF THREE CONSPIRACIES: 1) A CONSPIRACY TO INTERFERE WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTION BY WHICH THE NATION COLLECTS AND COUNTS ELECTION RESULTS, WHICH IS SET FORTH IN THE CONSTITUTION AND THE ELECTORAL COUNT ACT 2) A CONSPIRACY TO OBSTRUCT THE OFFICIAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH CONGRESS CERTIFIES THE LEGITIMATE RESULTS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION; AND 3) A CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE RIGHTS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS TO VOTE AND HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED.
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
12) TARGETED
HIS EFFORTS INCLUDED LYING TO STATE OFFICIALS IN ORDER TO INDUCE THEM TO IGNORE THE TRUE VOTE COUNTS, MANUFACTURING FRADULENT ELECTORAL VOTES IN THE TARGETED STATES, ATTEMPTING TO ENLIST VICE PRESIDENT MICHAEL R. PENCE IN HIS ROLE AS PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, TO OBSTRUCT CONGRESS'S CERTIFICATION OF THE ELECTION BY USING THE DEFENDANT'S FRAUDULENT ELECTORAL VOTES, AND WHEN ALL ELSE HAD FAILED, ON JANUARY 6, 2021 DIRECTING AN ANGRY CROWD OF SUPPORTERS TO THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL TO OBSTRUCT CONGRESSIONAL CERTIFICATION.

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
13) RIOT
WHILE THE DEFENDANT CLAIMED FRAUD WITHOUT PROOF, HIS PRIVATE OPERATIVES SOUGHT TO CREATE CHAOS RATHER THAN SEEK CLARITY AT POLLING PLACES WHERE STATES WERE CONTINUING TO TABULATE VOTES. FOR EXAMPLE, ON NOVEMBER 4 (P5) - A CAMPAIGN EMPLOYEE, AGENT, AND CO-CONSPIRATOR OF THE DEFENDANT - TRIED TO SOW CONFUSION WHEN THE ONGOING VOTE COUNT AT THE TCF CENTER IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN LOOKED UNFAVORABLE FOR THE DEFENDANT. THERE, WHEN A COLLEAGUE AT THE TCF CENTER TOLD (P5) "WE THINK [A BATCH OF VOTES HEAVILY IN BIDEN'S FAVOR IS] RIGHT," (P5) RESPONDED, "FIND A REASON IT ISN'T." "GIVE ME OPTIONS TO FILE LITIGATION," AND, "EVEN IF IT IS." WHEN THE COLLEAGUE SUGGESTED THAT THERE WAS ABOUT TO BE UNREST REMINISCENT OF THE BROOKS BROTHERS RIOT, A VIOLENT EFFORT TO STOP THE VOTE COUNT IN FLORIDA AFTER THE 2000 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, (P5) RESPONDED, "MAKE THEM RIOT."
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
14) SUSPICIOUS
IN PENNSYLVANIA, JUST TWO DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE'S REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHO HAD REPRESENTED MR. TRUMP IN PREVIOUS ELECTION LITIGATION, REFUTED MR TRUMP'S CLAIM THAT IT WAS SUSPICIOUS THAT HIS EARLY LEAD WAS SLIPPING AWAY. THE CHAIRMAN EXPLAINED THAT THERE WERE STILL ROUGHLY 1,750,000 MAIL-IN BALLOTS BEING COUNTED, WHICH WERE EXPECTED TO WEIGH HEAVILY IN MR. BIDEN'S FAVOR. IN THE COURSE OF CONVERSATIONS LIKE THESE, STATE OFFICIALS - BETTER POSITIONED THAN MR. TRUMP TO KNOW THE FACTS IN THEIR STATES - REPEATEDLY TOLD MR. TRUMP THAT HIS FRAUD CLAIMS WERE UNFOUNDED AND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF SUBSTANTIAL ELECTION FRAUD IN THIER STATES.

TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER HE REPLIED TO HIS OWN EMAIL AND, AS COVER, WROTE THAT "'ALTERNATIVE' VOTES IS PROBABLY A BETTER TERM THAN 'FAKE' VOTES" AND HE AGREED WITH A SUGGESTION "TO KEEP THE PLAN UNDER WRAPS UNTIL CONGRESS COUNTS THE VOTES ON JANUARY 6TH."
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
30) ILLEGAL
ONE TRUMP ELECTOR NOMINEE IN PENNSYLVANIA RECOGNIZED THE PLAN AS "ILLEGAL" AND AN ATTEMPT TO "OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT" AND HE DECLINED TO PARTICIPATE. CONVERSELY, A SELECT FEW OF MR.

THE DEFENDANT AND HIS CO-CONSPIRATORS DEVELOPED A NEW PLAN REGARDING THE TARGETED STATES THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD LOST (ARIZONA, GEORGIA, MICHIGAN, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WISCONSIN) TO ORGANIZE THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE SERVED AS THE DEFENDANT'S ELECTORS HAD HE WON THE POPULAR VOTE, AND CAUSE THEM TO SIGN AND SEND TO PENCE, AS PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE, CERTIFICATIONS IN WHICH THEY FALSELY REPRESENTED THEMSELVES AS LEGITIMATE ELECTORS WHO HAD CAST ELECTORAL VOTES FOR THE DEFENDANT.

51) PERSONALLY SET
THE DEFENDANT PERSONALLY SET THE FRADULENT ELECTOR PLAN IN MOTION IN EARLY DECEMBER, ENSURED THAT IT WAS CARRIED OUT BY CO-CONSPIRATORS AND CAMPAIGN AGENTS IN THE TARGETED STATES, AND MONITORED ITS PROGRESS.
BY DECEMBER 5, THE DEFENDANT WAS STARTING TO THINK ABOUT CONGRESS'S ROLE IN THE ELECTION PROCESS; FOR THE FIRST TIME, HE MENTIONED TO PENCE THE POSSIBILITY OF CHALLENGING THE ELECTION RESULTS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. IN THE SAME CALL, PENCE TOLD THE DEFENDANT THAT THE GEORGIA BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION WAS INVESTIGATING

IN GENERAL, THE CONSPIRATORS DECEIVED THE DEFENDANT'S ELECTOR NOMINEES IN THE SAME WAY THAT THE DEFENDANT AND (CC 2) DECEIVED (P39) BY FALSELY CLAIMING THAT THEIR ELECTORAL VOTES WOULD BE USED ONLY IF ONGOING LITIGATION WERE RESOLVED IN THE DEFENDANT'S FAVOR.

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
53) CONVINCE ALL
A SELECT FEW OF THE DEFENDANT'S AGENTS AND ELECTOR NOMINEES, HOWEVER, HAD INSIGHT INTO THE ULTIMATE PLAN TO USE THE FRAUDULENT ELECTOR CERTIFICATES TO DISRUPT THE CONGRESSIONAL CERTIFICATION ON JANUARY 6. IN SEVERAL STATES, THE DEFENDANT, HIS CONSPIRATORS, AND AGENTS WERE UNABLE TO CONVINCE ALL OF THE DEFENDANT'S ELECTOR NOMINEES TO PARTICIPATE. (P57) FOR INSTANCE, A FORMER U.S. REPRESENTATIVE AND U.S. ATTORNEY AND ONE OF THE DEFENDANT'S ELECTOR NOMINEES IN PENNSYLVANIA WHO OPTED OUT OF THE PLAN, TOLD THE STATE PATTY VICE CHAIR TRYING TO ORGANIZE THE DEFENDANT'S ELECTORS THAT HE WOULD NOT PARTICIPATE BECAUSE THE PLAN DID NOT FOLLOW PROPER PROGRESS AND WAS ILLEGAL.
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
54) SUBSTITUTES
WHEN ELECTORS LIKE (P57) DECLINED, THE CONSPIRATORS AND AGENTS HAD TO RECRUIT SUBSTITUTES WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH THE PLAN. OTHER ELECTORS WHO PARTICIPATED BASED ON THE CONSPIRATOR'S FALSE ASSURANCES THAT THEIR VOTES WERE ONLY A CONTINGENCY WERE LATER SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT THEY WERE USED ON JANUARY 6 - AND WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED TO PARTICIPATE IF THE CONSPIRATORS HAD BEEN TRUTHFUL ABOUT THE PLAN.
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
55) UNABLE TO COMPLY
IN MANY CASES, HOWEVER, THE CONSPIRATORS AND FRAUDULENT ELECTORS WERE UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW FOR LEGITIMATE ELECTORS. FOR EXAMPLE, PENNSYLVANIA LAW REQUIRED THE GOVERNOR TO GIVE NOTICE WHENEVER AN ELECTOR WAS SUBSTITUTED, BUT THE CONSPIRATORS COULD NOT ARRANGE FOR THE GOVERNOR TO GIVE NOTICE WHEN (P46) AND AND OTHERS OPTED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED THEREAFTER. (CC 5) AND OTHERS BRAINSTORMED FAKE EXCUSES FOR THEIR FAILURE TO FOLLOW STATE LAW, WRITING "MAYBE WE CAN USE COVID19 AS AN EXCUSE FOR THE GOVERNOR NOT GIVING NOTICE."
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
56) TURNED THEIR ATTENTION
AS THE DEFENDANT'S VARIOUS ATTEMPTS TO TARGET THE STATES FAILED, AND THE JANUARY 6 CONGRESSIONAL CERTIFICATION APPROACHED, THE DEFENDANT AND CO-CONSPIRATORS TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO PENCE, WHO AS PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE PRESIDED OVER THE CERTIFICATION PROCEEDING IN SERVICE OF A NEW PLAN - TO ENLIST PENCE TO USE HIS ROLE TO FRAUDULENTLY ALTER THE ELECTION RESULTS AT THE JANUARY 6 CERTIFICATION PROCEEDING.

THEY LIED TO PENCE, TELLING HIM THAT THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL ELECTION FRAUD AND CONCEALING THEIR ORCHESTRATION OF THE PLAN TO MANUFACTURE FRAUDULENT ELECTOR SLATES, AS WELL AS THEIR INTENTION TO USE THE FAKE SLATES TO ATTEMPT TO OBSTRUCT THE CONGRESSIONAL CERTIFICATION.

58) ACCEDE
MR. TRUMP ARRANGED FOR MR. PENCE TO MEET WITH CO-CONSPIRATOR 2 IN THE OVAL OFFICE, IN HOPES THAT CO-CONSPIRATOR 2 COULD CONVINCE MR. PENCE TO ACCEDE. DURING THE MEETING CO-CONSPIRATOR 2 OUTLINED TWO WAYS THAT HE CLAIMED MR. PENCE COULD AFFECT THE ELECTION OUTCOME USING HIS ROLE IN THE CERTIFICATION: HE COULD REJECT THE LEGITIMATE ELECTORS OUTRIGHT - DENYING MR. BIDEN AN ELECTORAL MAJORITY AND LIKELY SENDING THE SELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WHERE FELLOW REPUBLICANS CONTROLLED THE MAJORITY OF STATE DELEGATOONS - OR HE COULD SEND THE ELECTOR SLATES TO TARGETED STATES' LEGISLATURES FOR THEM TO CHOOSE WHICH ELECTORAL VOTES SHOULD BE COUNTED - AFFORDING REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED LEGISLATURES THE OPPORTUNITY TO REJECT MR. BIDEN'S ELECTORS AND REPLACE THEM WITH MR. TRUMP'S.
#WhyWeFight

59) VIOLATED
IN RESPONSE TO MR. PENCE'S QUESTIONING, CO-CONSPIRATOR 2 ADMITTED THAT BOTH PROPOSALS VIOLATED THE ELECTORAL COUNT ACT AND WERE UNTESTED. WHEN MR. PENCE TURNED TO MR. TRUMP AND POINTED OUT THAT EVEN "MR. TRUMP'S LAWYER," CO-CONSPIRATOR 2 DID NOT THINK MR. PENCE HAD THE AUTHORITY TO RETURN ELECTORAL VOTES TO THE STATES, MR. TRUMP RESPONDED THAT HE "LIKED THE OTHER THING BETTER," WHICH MR. PENCE UNDERSTOOD TO MEAN MR. PENCE SIMPLY REJECTING THE ELECTORAL VOTES OUTRIGHT. IN THE END, MR.

TRUMP AT ONE POINT ALSO TOLD HIS SUPPORTERS TO "PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD" HE USED THE WORD "FIGHT" MORE THAN TEN TIMES IN THE SPEECH BEFORE CONCLUDING BY DIRECTING HIS SUPPORTERS TO MARCH TO THE CAPITOL TO TO GIVE ALLIED MEMBERS OF CONGRESS "THE KIND OF PRIDE AND BOLDNESS THEY NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY." HE ALSO TOLD THE ANGRY CROWD THAT "IF YOU DON'T FIGHT LIKE HELL, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE."

NEXT TO THE SENATE CHAMBER, A GROUP OF RIOTERS CHASED A U.S. CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS WITHIN FORTY FEET OF WHERE PENCE WAS SHELTERING WITH HIS FAMILY. AS THEY DID SO, THE RIOTERS SHOUTED AT THE OFFICER, IN SEARCH OF PUBLIC OFFICIAL, "WHERE THE F**K THEY AT? WHERE THE F**K THEY COUNTING THE VOTES AT? WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING THEM? YOU'RE A F**KING TRAITOR." ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAPITOL, THE HOUSE WAS ALSO FORCED TO RECESS.

FOX NEWS'S COVERAGE OF THE EVENTS AT THE CAPITOL INCLUDED, AT ABOUT 2:12"PM, REPORTS OF THE CAPITOL BEING ON LOCKDOWN AND SHOWED VIDEO FOOTAGE OF LARGE CROWDS WITHIN THE RESTRICTED AREA SURROUNDING THE CAPITOL; MUCH OF THE CROWD WAS WEARING CLOTHING AND CARRYING FLAGS EVIDENCING THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO THE DEFENDANT. AT ABOUT 2:20 PM, VIDEO OF CROWDS ON THE CAPITOL LAWN AND WEST TERRACE WERE SHOWN ALONGSIDE A CHYRON STATING, "CERTIFICATION VOTE PAUSED AS PROTESTS ERUPT ON CAPITOL HILL."

106) SOMETHING ELSE
AT 2:21 PM, AN ON-THE-STREET REPORTER INTERVIEWED AN INDIVIDUAL MARCHING FROM THE ELIPSE TO THE CAPITOL WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE COME TO WASHINGTON "BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD US WE HAD SOMETHING BIG TO LOOK FORWARD TO, AND I BELIEVE THAT VICE PRESIDENT PENCE WAS GOING TO CERTIFY THE ELECTORIAL [SIC] VOTES AND, OR NOT CERTIFY THEM, BUT I GUESS THAT'S JUST CHANGED, CORRECT? AND IT'S A VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I THINK THERE'S SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE HERE WHO ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED. BUT I STILL BELIEVE PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SOMETHING ELSE LEFT."

107) BARRICADED OFFICES
OFFICERS AT THE CAPITOL UNDERSTOOD THAT IF THE RIOTERS REACHED THE LAWMAKERS AND OTHER STAFF INSIDE THE BUILDING VIOLENCE WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THEM AS WELL. ONLY THROUGH THE HEROISM OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO DEFENDED THE CAPITOL WERE LAWMAKERS AND OTHER STAFF PROTECTED FROM HARM. MANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES. ONCE THE RIOTERS BREACHED THE CAPITOL BUILDING, "ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, CONGRESSIONAL STAFF, AND MEMBERS OF THE PRESS HID IN TERROR FROM THE MOB," IN BARRICADED OFFICES OR UNMARKED ROOMS AS RIOTERS ROAMED THE HALLWAYS. FOR INSTANCE, IN DETAILING HIS EFFORTS TO EVACUATE A U.S. SENATOR AND HER STAFF FROM AN UNMARKED HIDING SPOT, ONE U.S. CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER DESCRIBED THE SENATOR AS "AFRAID FOR HER LIFE," "SHAKING," AND"VERY, VERY - SHE WAS SCARED."

108) INSURRECTION
SOME SOURCES DISTINGUISH AN "INSURRECTION" FROM A "ROUT, RIOT, OR OFFENSE CONNECTED WITH MOB VIOLENCE BY THE FACT THAT IN INSURRECTION THERE IS AN ORGANIZED AND ARMED UPRISING AGAINST AUTHORITY OR OPERATIONS OF GOVERNMENT, WHILE CRIMES GROWING OUT OF MOB VIOLENCE, HOWEVER SERIOUS THEY MAY BE AND HOWEVER NUMEROUS THE PARTICIPANTS, ARE SIMPLY UNLAWFUL ACTS IN DISTURBANCE OF THE PEACE WHICH DO NOT THREATEN THE STABILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OR THE EXISTENCE OF POLITICAL SOCIETY."

AT 2:24 PM, TRUMP WAS ALONE IN HIS DINING ROOM WHEN HE ISSUED A TWEET ATTACKING PENCE AND FUELING THE ONGOING RIOT. "MIKE PENCE DIDN'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY AND OUR CONSTITUTION, GIVING STATES A CHANCE TO CERTIFY A CORRECTED SET OF FACTS, NOT THE FRAUDULENT OR INACCURATE ONES, WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY ASKED TO CERTIFY. USA DEMANDS THE TRUTH!"

111) TRAITOR PENCE
AT 2:25 PM THE SECRET SERVICE WAS FORCED TO EVACUATE PENCE TO A SECURE LOCATION. AT THE CAPITOL, THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON, MEMBERS OF THE CROWD CHANTED, "HANG MIKE PENCE!" "WHERE IS PENCE?" "BRING HIM OUT!", AND, "TRAITOR PENCE!"
#WhyWeFight

REMINDERS FROM THE FILINGS BY JACK SMITH
112) CRIMINAL IMMUNITY
NO PRESIDENT WHOSE CONDUCT WAS INVESTIGATED (OTHER THAN MR. TRUMP) EVER CLAIMED ABSOLUTE CRIMINAL IMMUNITY FOR ALL OFFICIAL ACTS. THE MAJORITY FOUND THAT THE NEED FOR PRESIDENTS TO ACT "BOLDLY AND FEARLESSLY" IN EXECUTING THEIR DUTIES OF OFFICE WAS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR AUTHORED A DISSENTING OPINION JOINED BY JUSTICES KAGAN AND JACKSON: THE COURT EFFECTIVELY CREATES A LAW-FREE ZONE AROUND THE PRESIDENT, UPSETTING THE STATUS QUO THAT HAS EXISTED SINCE THE FOUNDING. THIS NEW OFFICIAL-ACTS IMMUNITY NOW "LIES ABOUT LIKE A LOADED WEAPON" FOR ANY PRESIDENT THAT WISHES TO PLACE HIS OWN INTERESTS, HIS OWN POLITICAL SURVIVAL, OR HIS OWN FINANCIAL GAIN ABOVE THE INTERESTS OF THE NATION. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN THE COUNTRY, AND POSSIBLY THE WORLD. WHEN HE USES HIS OFFICIAL POWERS IN ANY WAY, UNDER THE MAJORITY'S REASONING, HE NOW WILL BE INSULATED FROM CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. ORDERS THE NAVY'S SEAL TEAM 6 TO ASSASSINATE A POLITICAL RIVAL? IMMUNE. ORGANIZES A MILITARY COUP TO HOLD ON TO POWER? IMMUNE. TAKES A BRIBE IN EXCHANGE FOR A PARDON? IMMUNE.

MR.

THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK MR.

OFFICERS HAVE DESCRIBED BEING ASSAULTED BY RIOTERS WIELDING BEAR SPRAY, METAL BATS AND FLAGPOLES, AND OTHER IMPROVISED WEAPONS.
A METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMANDER RECOUNTED THAT THE SCENE WAS "A NON-STOP BARRAGE OF JUST STRIKES, WITH WEAPONS, AND THINGS BEING THROWN, AND PEPPER SPRAY, AND YOU NAME IT. EVERYTHING BEING HURLED AT THESE OFFICERS. YOU COULD HEAR THEM YELLING. YOU COULD HEAR THEM, SCREAMS AND MOANS AND EVERYTHING ELSE."

RIOTERS - AGAIN, MANY BEARING PRO-TRUMP PARAPHERNALIA INDICATING THEIR ALLEGIANCE - BREACHED THE SENATE CHAMBER, RIFLED THROUGH THE PAPERS ON THE SENATORS' DESKS, AND STOOD ON THE DAIS WHERE PENCE HAD BEEN PRESIDING JUST MINUTES EARLIER.

SOME OF THE WORST VIOLENCE OF THE DAY TOOK PLACE OUTSIDE OF THE CAPITOL ON THE LOWER WEST TERRACE - THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING FACING THE ELIPSE WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAD GIVEN HIS SPEECH. THERE, SCAFFOLDING PLACED IN ANTICIPATION OF THE JANUARY 20TH INAUGURATION CREATED A TUNNEL LEADING TO A SET OF DOUBLE GLASS DOORS INTO THE CENTER OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING. AFTER RIOTERS HAD FORCED THEIR WAY ONTO RESTRICTED CAPITOL GROUNDS AND PAST THE TEMPORARY BARRIERS, INCLUDING LAYERS OF SNOW FENCING AND BIKE RACKS, THEY ATTACKED THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TRYING TO PROTECT THE BUILDING WITH FLAG POLES, STOLEN POLICE RIOT SHIELDS AND OTHER IMPROVISED WEAPONS.

OF HIS TIME DEFENDING THE CAPITOL, ONE METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICER SAID, "I FEARED FOR MY LIFE FROM THE MOMENT I GOT INTO THAT - WE WERE WALKING INTO THE CROWD, WHEN THE CAPITOL POLICE OFFICER WAS LEADING US INTO THE FRONT LINE. AND ESPECIALLY WHEN I GOT SPRAYED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROWD. I - AT THAT POINT, HONESTLY, I THOUGHT, THIS IS IT. YEAH, MULTIPLE TIMES... YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GETTING PUSHED, KICKED, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE THROWING METAL BATS AT YOU AND ALL THAT STUFF. I WAS LIKE, YEAH, THIS IS F**KING IT."
