Day 7 hearing: Trump knew exactly what he was doing
not only to coalesce in Washington, but also to do so in a militant spirit. Extremist groups like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers took Trump’s tweet as a cue to organize and prepare for a violent confrontation on Jan. 6. A former member of the Oath Keepers, Jason Van Tatenhove,that America was “exceedingly lucky” that there wasn’t even more violence on Jan.
The committee also showed how Trump planned in advance to march from the Ellipse to the Capitol that day and quietly signaled this to rally organizers but declined to notify the public of this plan. The decision suggested awareness by Trump that he might be violating regulations for marching routes or that he was cognizant that making the plan public could change how security prepared to protect the Capitol.
One of the more powerful pieces of testimony Tuesday came from someone who wasn’t a professional activist or a politico, but a protestor from Ohio who described himself as a “family man” who said he regretted getting caught up in Trump’s disinformation campaign. The protester, who has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for his activities related to breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6, said he felt as if he had “horse blinders on” when he was following Trump.
