Replying to @bjrich_
“The night before the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville and the then-director of the Republican Attorneys General Association met with then-President Donald Trump’s sons and close advisers, according to a social media post”

Brandon Richards
@bjrich_
“Among the attendees ... were Tuberville, former RAGA director Adam Piper, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Trump’s former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, adviser Peter Navarro, Trump’s 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and 2016 deputy campaign manager David Bossie.”

“according to the Omaha World-Herald. The newspaper also reported that Herbster ‘also met Tuesday in Trump’s private residence in his Washington, D.C., hotel with Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, and other campaign advisers.’”

“They discussed how to pressure more members of Congress to object to the Electoral College results that made Joe Biden the winner,” The Omaha World-Herald reported.

As a reminder DAGA Co-Chairs MA AG @Maura_Healey and NV AG @AaronDFordNV said:

“It is not enough for Republican Attorneys General to denounce the violence at the Capitol; they must publicly distance themselves from the @RepublicanAGs and its leadership.”

"The Trump hotel is Amazing!! Fifteen of us spent the evening with Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Tommy Tuberville, Michael J. Lindell, Peter Navarro, and Rudy Giuliani. We talked about the elections, illegal votes, court cases, the republics' (sic) status, what to expect on the hill tomorrow."

Same location, same date, same time as OP.

The way it's worded, IMO, means the 6 tRumpers named were the hosts to the "15 of us."

The list at the beginning of this report (8 + 3 = 11) includes some of the 5 mentioned in that FB post.

We shall see.

BTW, Tuberville denies being at the Hotel, but was he "there" in speakerphone presence?

before they have direct evidence that Trump knew what was coming down and may even had a hand in directing it. Somebody will talk.

Impression mtgs had been held there before... and that Trump would be present via speaker phone. I don't know how he knows that.

Right in your face about it.
