# This file is the overview file for my notes on the Jan 6th Select Committee Report. [Jan 6th final report](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GPO-J6-REPORT/pdf/GPO-J6-REPORT.pdf) [Special Counsel Jack Smith's Jan 6th indictment](https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2023/08/trump-indictment.pdf) ## Seeking Pardons The Committee notes that multiple Republican Members of Congress, including Representative Scott Perry, likely have material facts regarding President Trump’s plans to overturn the election. For example, many Members of Congress attended a White House meeting on December 21, 2020, in which the plan to have the Vice President affect the outcome of the election was disclosed and discussed. Evidence indicates that certain of those Members unsuccessfully sought Presidential pardons from President Trump after January 6th [^1], as did Eastman[^2], revealing their own clear consciousness of guilt. ## White House meeting of Jan 21 (18th?) It will refer to quite a few other files. ## "I just want to find 11,780 votes" 1 more than Biden got. ## Chesebro Memos ## Warnings of violence ### Cassidy Hutchinson #### From the election to Jan 6th > The President was fired up about the Supreme Court decision. And so I was standing next to [Chief of Staff Mark] Meadows, but I had stepped back . . . The President [was] just raging about the decision and how it’s wrong, and why didn’t we make more calls, and just this typical anger outburst at this decision . . . And the President said I think—so he had said something to the effect of, “I don’t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out. We need to figure it out.I don’t want people to know that we [^6]lost.”99[^4] #### Run up to the insurrection Speaking to Mark Meadows on Jan 2nd she said that she'd spoken with Gulianni and was concerned. > “Rudy [Giuliani] said these things to me. What’s going on here? Anything I should know about?”[^3] Meadows was looking at his phone, and scrolling, but somewhat disengaged. Eventually, this exchange occurs > “I’m having a conversation, sir.” > He said—still looking at his phone. I remember he was scrolling. He was like, “Yeah. You know, things might get real, real bad on the 6th.” > And I remember saying to him, “What do you mean?” > He was like, “I don’t know. There’s just going to be a lot of people here, and there’s a lot of different ideas right now. I’m not really sure of everything that’s going on. Let's just make sure we keep tabs on it.” ## The plan There were 8 plans 1. The courts 2. The electors 3. The States 4. ## Initial advice. 1. Trump's campaign advisors told him that the process of determining the winner would be lengthy. A lead in the early voting might be a "red mirage" [^5]. However, Roger Stone told him he should declare victory immediately, even before the polls closed. ## The court cases pages ## Number of times he was told he'd lost and needed to conceed.

We also note that these Republican Members of Congress who had more knowledge of Trump’s planning for January 6th than any other Members of Congress, were also likely in a far superior position than any other Members to warn the Capitol Police of the risks of violence at the Capitol on January 6th [^2]: Note 615, ibid, page 183 See Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, Hearing on the January 6th Investigation, 117th Cong., 2d sess., (June 16, 2022), at 2:29:50, available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBjUWVKuDj0 (“I’ve decided that I should be on the pardon list, if that is still in the works.”).
