I'm way behind, getting caught up:
- Hutchinson and Cippollone had a brief conversation where he said "We need to make sure this doesn't happen. Legally, this would be a terrible idea for us. We have serious legal concerns if we go up to the capitol that day." It was Hutchinson's understanding that Meadows was pushing this along with the president.
- Cippollone spoke to Hutchinson on the morning on the 6th and he said to make sure the movement to the capitol does not happen. "We're going to get charged with every crime imaginable if that happens."
- Hutchinson mentioned obstructing justice and defrauding the electoral count as possible crimes they would get charged with.
A video deposition of Hutchison saying the above is shown.
- Cippollone was concerned that it would look like they were inciting a riot at the capitol.
- Trump expressed to multiple white house aides that he wanted to go to the capitol after his speech.
