Logs show 10 House Republicans attended White House meeting on pressuring Pence
by Andrew Solender
Axios, July 12, 2022
Ten Republican members of Congress attended a Dec. 21 White House meeting focused on efforts to pressure former Vice President Mike Pence to help overturn the 2020 election, according to the Jan. 6 committee.
Why it matters: The revelation underscores how deep the involvement of some lawmakers were in former President Trump's schemes to overturn the election even after the electoral college met to affirm President Biden's victory.
Driving the news: Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) said at a hearing on Tuesday that White House visitor logs reveal 10 members were physically in attendance:
Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas)
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.)
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas)
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.)
Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.)
Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.)
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio)
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.)
Now-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)
The backdrop: Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson told the panel in closed-door testimony that members "felt that [Pence] had the authority to ... [send] the electors back to the States," according to a court filing from April.
Hutchinson noted that "they dialed in a few Members over the course of that meeting."
She mentioned two members Reps. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) and Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) who were not in the visitor logs cited by Murphy.

And all of it unconstitutional per the 12th Amendment. Ignorance of the Constitution is no excuse.

Thanks. Your posts are always an education. I get it, & am still wary of Republicans' involvement.
