In reply to the discussion: Alex Jones Says His Orders for the January 6th Insurrection Came from Trump [View all]Haggard Celine
(17,923 posts)2. Trump himself guided the actions on January 6th.
He set it all in motion months before and reiterated several times in various media that his followers should go there on that day. Why that day? Because that was the day they were counting the votes and he wanted to disrupt it. The planning was probably done by several different people who all reported to Trump. He chose not to go down to the Capitol and went to the White House to watch it unfold. He probably was getting communication the whole time about what was happening. Finally, when it was obvious that his mission had failed, he asked everyone to leave.
