The MAGA congressional Coup Plotter co-conspirators: 11 House Republicans attended a White House meeting with Trump to strategize about overturning the election results on January 6. Six of them later asked for pardons.:
The House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, offered new details on Tuesday about a meeting at the White House that involved [eleven] Republican members of Congress ahead of the meeting of the joint session of Congress to certify the 2020 presidential election.
Democratic Rep. Stephanie Murphy of Florida, a member of the committee, said the December 21 meeting was part of an effort to “disseminate his false claims and to encourage members of the public to fight the outcome on January 6.”
Vice President Mike Pence [who had not yet withdrawn from the conspiracy], Rudy Giuliani, and Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff at the time, attended the meeting, along with President Donald Trump, Murphy said.
At the meeting, Murphy said the members discussed election theories pushed by Trump’s personal lawyer John Eastman [Coup Memos lawyer], who said he believed that Pence was able to single-handedly reject slates of electors in his role presiding over the joint session.
Here are the 11 House Republicans who were at the meeting, according to the White House visitor logs obtained by the January 6 panel:
-
-
- Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama
- Rep. Brian Babin of Texas
- Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona
- Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida
- Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas
- Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona
- Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland
- Rep. Jody Hice of Georgia
- Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio
- Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania
- Rep.-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia
-
The committee previously shared a number of Republicans who sought pardons from Trump in the final days of his administration. Six of the attendees of the December 21, 2020, meeting — Biggs, Brooks, Gaetz, Gohmert, Greene, and Perry — sought pardons.
Witnesses have been pressed in recent weeks about Giuliani, S. Powell and others who sought to use levers of government to stop the certification of the election… and sources directly involved believe a case on conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding could be in works…

I need to make a Costco run for more popcorn. Maybe, when it’s all done and over with, the MAGAt crew can all share a cell at Gitmo.
