As I reflect on the night of January 5, 2021, and Pence/Trump, I keep wondering about a "what if?" and this particular 2016 story. "The turn toward a military figure is being driven by Trump himself rather than by his advisers, the people said." https://t.co/zmxNLtfYHB — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
As Trump and Pence speak, "the president's body man, Nick Luna, entered and handed the president a note. They were ready for him at the rally outside. His people were waiting. "You're going to wimp out!" Trump told Pence as Ivanka, Kellogg and others looked on, silent. — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
Trump and Pence speak by phone around 10 a.m. Jan. 6. "Mike this is not right!" Trump says calling from the Oval. Even after their Jan. 5 1-on-1 in Oval, Trump won't relent. "I'm counting on you to do it. If you don't do it, I picked the wrong man four years ago." — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
When Pence wakes up on Jan. 6, he doesn't go to WH. Works from residence. Calls Richard Cullen, his longtime lawyer (and now Youngkin confidant). Works with Short and counsel Greg Jacob. Finish the statement. Retired Judge Luttig brought in to give letter more conservative cred. — PolitiTweet.org

"Trump's four words were sobering. It was Trump explaining away a deal gone bad. Pence was not going to break. If Mike Pence was arrogant, that meant Trump's push was dead. 'Very arrogant,' Trump repeated. Trump kept tweeting into the night." — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
"As midnight approached... people in the streets were yelling, delighted and almost euphoric about Trump taking back the election." "Trump soon called Giuliani, and then called Steve Bannon... 'He was very arrogant,'" Trump said of Pence. — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
"Next to Freedom Plaza, upstairs in a suite at the famed Willard Hotel," Bannon, Giuliani and other lawyers/allies were "prodding Republicans in Congress by phone to join forces with Trump on January 6 and block Biden's certification." — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
"Milley thought of the little remembered 1905 revolution in Russia. The uprising had failed, but it had set the stage for the 1917 rev. that led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Lenin called 1905 'the great dress rehearsal.' Had J-6 been a dress rehearsal?" PERIL, p. 415-416 — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
Pence eventually has dinner that night at residence with several supporters/donors. Giuliani doesn't go over. But strikingly, and not to be forgotten, Trump campaign issues a late statement saying Pence *agrees* w/ Trump position on election. Stuns Pence and his advisers. — PolitiTweet.org
Robert Costa @costareports
Looking through these notes, worth remembering the true volatility in U.S. one year ago, Jan. 5-8. A VP was on the brink, being urged to be tip of spear for a delay/block of certification. Giuliani even wanted to go over to VP's home and give him a talking to, late on 1/5. — PolitiTweet.org

We later learned that Giuliani, Trump's lawyers/allies, and Bannon crew were arriving in those cars... and it took months to fully understand, but eventually we understood and confirmed the scope of the Willard war rooms and Trump's connection to them. — PolitiTweet.org

"1/5 city empty, freezing cold, trash uncollected. rats everywhere. Willard a hot spot. MAGA clashing with police there. Rowdy. Back of Willard- black cars? Folo." Later, we went back and forth on whether to include the detail on rats in book and decided against it. Extraneous. — PolitiTweet.org

One year ago tonight, I was outside the Willard, wandering around with pen and pad, passing Proud Boys, Oath Keepers. Monitoring the crowd. The city was otherwise empty. Trump was over in the Oval with Pence. Then I saw black cars arrive at the hotel. https://t.co/3o0oSFVdTc — PolitiTweet.org

It is now January 4. One year ago today, the most intense chapter of Trump’s pressure campaign to block the certification of Biden’s election kicked into high gear. His target: his own vice president. Outside, near the Willard, a crowd began to build. — PolitiTweet.org
