Something to discuss...

Hey friends. Here are 1. the #TeamJustice letter to all 50 state (& DC) attorneys general demanding Trump be investigated for avoidable COVID deaths & 2. the link to sign the letter. Hope you’ll join the fight for justice. Because #JusticeMatters https://t.co/RUuW4Jggtz pic.twitter.com/9yXRnGEQ2u

Capitol Hill police play-by-play

The recordings begin around 1 p.m. — right after the first breach of the building’s outer perimeter. MPD are called in as backup for Capitol Police, and we hear Inspector Robert Glover mobilizing his forces to respond.

Evidence in Capitol Attack Most Likely Supports Sedition Charges, Prosecutor Says

“It’s unequivocal that Trump was the magnet that brought the people to D.C. on the 6th. Now the question is, is he criminally culpable for everything that happened during the siege, during the breach?” Sherwin said. “We have people looking at everything.” https://t.co/trJ6fXix2o

Trump’s orbit has become a diffuse group of satellites, with certain people overseeing specific projects, but nothing like the infrastructure he once had as president and there are some visible signs of it.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 26, 2021

One key area where that’s so is fundraising, where there are a number of people involved in his political entities But no one person running his fundraising role.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 26, 2021

Trump has assigned Lewandowski to handle his new super PAC and c4. He has two other linked entities. But there are other related projects. Among them, Meadows is having an event for the group he’s part of, CPI, around the time of the RNC winter meeting.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 26, 2021

He has Caroline Wren, former top Trump campaign fundraiser, helping with that event. Wren is also working on a donor network based on the Democracy Alliance, which has been pitched to donors as the Save America Alliance.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 26, 2021

I posted about the SAA the other day - its description of taking on the “establishment” prompted some senior Rs to see it as taking aim as McConnell, which I’m told isn’t the intention.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 26, 2021

Two people close to Trump said the SAA is now no longer happening and that Wren is working with Lewandowski for the super PAC/C4. But another person familiar with the SAA plan said it’s still going forward, although it’s possible the name changes.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 26, 2021

Several groups/people around Trump are said to be trying to work with Wren on various projects. It all comes at a time when Trump has told allies he’s dissatisfied with parts of his team and may make changes.
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 26, 2021

(But he’s told others he’s fine with his team and isn’t making changes)

I think is the greatest mystery of the Trump presidency. Trump likes to build stuff, especially big stuff. Bannon said they were going to go big on infrastructure. Trump would have been able to get Dem votes, create jobs, play to his base. Not doing it was a huge unforced error. https://t.co/qwBeCLvBvE
