The minutia of what happened is meaningless, Hutchinson relayed what she was told, and if the details are a little different, the over all point is Trump tried to go against his SS and go to the Capitol to stop the certification. He in essence, wanted to Storm the Capital building with the armed mob.

(31,005 posts)We did see the video and anybody with common sense knows it was a suburban and can see him sitting in the car within reach of the driver. So all this crap is just crap of course from the other side

Trump's lawyer warned that going to the Capitol as tRump intended would involve them in many crimes, and others also did their best to dissuade him, but tRump intended and tried to go to the Capitol anyway.
Btw, we now know tRump wasn't lying to the MAGAs and DVEs who answered his call to gather on Jan 6 when he told them that he would be at the Capitol too, with them.
