.MaddowBlog: If you're thinking all of this will probably be of interest to the Jan. 6 Committee, you're not alone.
On Jan. 4 — two days, of course, before the insurrectionist attack on the Capitol — a group assembled in a conference room at the Trump International Hotel, just a few blocks from the White House. The gathering was organized by MyPillow CEO executive Mike Lindell, who's become a notorious figure in peddling bizarre theories about the 2020 election.
Evidently, the GOP lawmakers were unmoved by the presentations."Honestly, I was not impressed by these people," Cramer, a friend of the pillow guy, told the newspaper. Two days after the meeting, Cramer and Johnson voted to certify President Joe Biden's victory, and while Lummis did not, she said her decision wasn't based on what she saw at the Jan. 4 gathering.
The memo was dated Dec. 18, 2020, though it was apparently circulated among Republicans, including the senators, after the Jan. 4 meeting. I haven't the foggiest idea why the conspiracy theorists believed there was foreign interference, but let's note for context that the memo appears to have been written in the weeks followingin which Trump's lawyers made related allegations. Indeed, the Republican attorneys concocted a hysterical tale involving George Soros,"communist money," the Clinton Foundation, Venezuela, antifa, Cuba, and possibly China.
