It means he knew at that time that he lost the election and wanted to leave a shitburger for Biden. Petulant jerk that he is.
Could be, and that’s a reasonable answer to my question. I guess we’ll never know for sure.
ETA: Response to both SunUp and snowthx.
Yes, Trump’s name was specifically said.
Notably, the day before the election.
on to the various trials, loss after loss.
aides and others tried to convince that man that after dec. electors voted all was over. he should concede the election.
Of course, Donald Trump had plenty of other sycophantic yes-men - the Giulianis, the Powells, and others - who were telling him the contrary story. Who was he to believe?
(Ans: the ones who told him what he was wanting to hear.)
Not to mention people advising him on how to try to steal the election. He didn’t care if a statement was ridiculous. This is about advertising, not the truth. Luria giving examples.
ETA: They are working to show T wasn’t misled, but deliberately engaged in deceptive statements.
And they are doing a good job of it, too.
nice toggling between barr and trump. barr tells him x, the next day (the next day!) trump goes on tv and states the direct opposite; over and over.
on to the fake electors.
The committee plans to vote to subpoena Trump, according to reports:
the chair did say that today would not just be a hearing, but a committee meeting and there would be votes taken.
Nice summation from Ms. Murphy, culminating in, “He [Trump] was the central player.”
oooooh, schiff has the secret service part of the presentation.
the secret service had quite a lot of information on the various groups gathering for jan 6th. they also had quite a lot of intel on the crowd gathering but not going into the mags.
So the S. Service knew shit was going down but didn’t bother giving a heads up to the Capitol Police? 
Who’s he gonna hafta sue to keep that from happening? 
so far, they have only mentioned that the secret service told the fbi. there were multiple weapon arrests along the route, somehow that did not get to the capital either.
Schiff demonstrated that the Committee caught Trump aide Jason Miller in a stone cold lie, Miller saying if he knew that his comments on a Trump supporter website were going to inspire violent angry responses, he would have alerted the Secret Service of the threats. This after he had already sent a text message to someone (Meadows?) that he’d gotten the base “FIRED UP!”
gavel down for 10-minute recess.
Recess. About ten minutes.
Breaking on CNN: Committee to vote to subopena Trump to testify.
Good catch. I wonder if the Justice Department can charge him and flip him.
I’d say yes and no. Charge him? Certainly, and I hope he gets life w/o parole. Flip him? Unlikely. The little Nazi would rather be a martyr.
