Hunter Walker:
So, both of my sources said they participated in — quote, unquote — “dozens of briefings” with Republican members of Congress and their staff. That included Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Mo Brooks, Madison Cawthorn, and Louie Gohmert.
And we have already had some indications that these members were involved in the efforts to overturn the election. They spoke at the events at the Ellipse. They were billed as speakers at this wild protest. Gosar headlined a Stop the Steal rally in Arizona.
But what they specifically described was these members sort of strategizing to help them pick state locations for protests that would target persuadable senators to join the objection. And they were also going back and forth trading — quote, unquote — “evidence” of supposed election fraud.
Obviously, any of that would have been baseless. But they described them as intimately involved in kind of plotting a grand show that day, both at the Ellipse and on the House floor.
