8/ The occupation of the Capitol was necessary—not optional—for state legislators to have enough time to launch special sessions to {"decertify" Biden's electors ( and seat new Trump "electors" ) in battleground states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
9/ How do we know that Stop the Steal's plan was to occupy the Capitol? Because CNN reported it on January 6 (see the article above). And CNN also reported that the White House was aware of this plan—and that the plan was communicated to the White House *by the insurrectionists*.
10/ The question was how to get Stop the Steal and state legislators on the same page—to ensure the lawless actions of Stop the Steal would actually buy sufficient time for state legislators to stage a legislative coup by (trying to) decertify Biden's 2020 win at the state level.
11/ On January 2, 2021, everyone got on the same page. How? By all being on the same phone call—a phone call was jointly arranged by Trump's legal team and Stop the Steal and was attended by Trump's legal team, political team, Stop the Steal, 290 legislators... and Trump himself.
