Previous guy’s plausible deniability about connections to the coup plot will dissolve further on Tuesday at the Select Committee hearings.
x At the Willard Hotel were Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone & Mike Flynn.
On Jan 5th, Cassidy Hutchinson said Trump ordered Mark Meadows to call Roger Stone & Mike Flynn.

Towards the end of her testimony to the House January 6 select committee, former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson raised for the first time the prospect that Donald Trump might have had a line of communication to the leaders of the extremist groups that stormed the Capitol.
The potential connection from the former US president to the extremist right-wing groups came through her account of Trump’s order to his White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to call Roger Stone and Mike Flynn – which Meadows did – the evening before the Capitol attack.
Trump’s order to Meadows, even though Hutchinson said she did not know what was discussed, is significant because it shows the former president seeking to have a channel to two figures with close ties to the leaders of the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers groups.
The directive is doubly notable since it was Trump himself who initiated the outreach to Stone and Flynn, suggesting it was not an instance of far-right political operatives freelancing, for instance, potential strategies to overturn the 2020 election results.
All of this is important because unresolved questions for January 6 investigators remain whether Trump knew that Proud Boys and Oath Keepers would storm the Capitol, and whether Trump was in contact with their leaders who have since been indicted for seditious conspiracy.

x These Trumpers really were planning a murder spree. If those who planned it all and egged the would-be killers on aren’t held fully accountable, they’ll do it all again — and next time the murder victims might well include the United States of America 🇺🇸

x "it's a complicated issue" — Richard Signorelli (@richsignorelli) July 9, 2022
(Oct 23, 2021) In seeking to compel testimony from Bannon, the congressional panel investigating Jan. 6 this week cited his reported presence at the " 'war room' organized at the Willard."
“...identified as present at the @WillardHotel on January 5,2021, during an effort to persuade Members of Congress to block the certification of the election...quoted as stating...that "[a]ll hell is going to break loose tomorrow.””
x 4/ Note that Steve Bannon testified against Roger Stone in Stone’s prior criminal trial. I cover that here.

Roger Stone spent January 6 in four locations:
(1) inside his suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington, where he was joined by his friend and NYPD officer Sal Greco, Pastor Randy Coggins II, Pastor Mark Burns, and ex-con Kristin M. Davis (a former prostitution-ring kingpin known as “the Manhattan Madam. Background - Davis was subpoenaed by special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.”);
(2) inside the InfoWars suite at the Willard, alongside Coggins, Stop the Steal co-organizer Alex Jones, Jones’s lieutenant Owen Shroyer, former Trump National Security Advisor (and then-Jericho March leader) Michael Flynn, Michael Flynn Jr., former Overstock CEO and Team Kraken member Patrick Byrne, and an unknown number of militants from the far-right 1st Amendment Praetorians;
(3) in the hallways of the Willard Hotel, where he was found by a fan, who posted a picture of the encounter on Instagram, wandering about with a mysterious binder of information; and
(4) outside the front of the Willard, where he was recorded, as broken by ABC News, being protected by since-arrested Oath Keepers even now-disbarred lawyer and federal criminal investigation suspect Rudy Giuliani, former Trump campaign and administration official Boris Epshteyn, and former NYPD commissioner and forever ex-con Bernard Kerik exited the hotel.

(29 April 2022) Brian Ulrich entered his guilty plea at a virtual hearing Friday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. The 44-year-old from Guyton, Ga., is the second Oath Keeper to plead guilty to sedition charges in the highest-profile case to emerge from the federal investigation into the Capitol riot.
Ulrich is one of 11 Oath Keepers, including the group's founder Stewart Rhodes, to be charged with seditious conspiracy and other crimes for allegedly plotting to use force to prevent Congress' Jan. 6 certification of President Biden's election win.
Now, five months before the case is set to go trial, prosecutors have secured the cooperation of two members of the alleged conspiracy to help build their prosecution against the remaining defendants.
