Filmmaker may have proof Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump discussed Jan. 6 plan months earlier: Guardian reporter

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump may have been aware of a plan to overturn the 2020 election more than three months before the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to documentary film evidence obtained by the House Select Committee
Congressional investigators believe plans for disrupting the Jan. 6 certification of the November election results were communicated to advisers to Trump Jr. and his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle before the election had taken place, and documentary filmmaker Alex Holder appears to have evidence to prove this was true, Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
"Jamie Raskin, a member of the select committee got a tip that Alex Holder had sat down for these one-on-one interviews with the former president himself and a number of Trump's adult children," Lowell said. "Now, what also emerged during that deposition is that the documentary film crew got access to the Trump Hotel on the 29th of September of 2020. That was the night of the first debate, and that's really significant because Alex Holder was able to record Don Jr. and Eric and others on the phone and having candid private conversations among each other about strategies with respect to the 2020 election."
That date is significant not just because it came before the election, but because it shows there was a coordinated plan among the Trump family and their allies to disrupt a potential loss by the president..

(7,924 posts)They knew for months if not more than a year that the 2020 election was in doubt if not lost. The amount of planning, money and coordination doesn't just fall out of the trees when you want it. it takes time to lay it on and arrange the details, the money and the people. Why do you think so many red state legislatures were so ready to deny the vote and to pass all that draconian anti-access legislation so quickly. look at how much run-up time and effort was involved in Gulf war one, or 2? Not the same you say? Only in scale say I. Ask any Veteran you know.
