Raskin On Trump’s January 6 Plan: He Really Thought Rioters Would Carry Him Into The Capitol Like Mussolini

“I can’t enter into specific details about this testimony. But I will tell you that from everything we’ve learned, we know that the former president was incensed and enraged when he was not being taken to the Capitol.

“He was adamant that he be able to join the mob and approach and enter the Capitol with them. Again, everything that we’ve heard tells me that the former president was incensed.

“He was enraged and there was conflict about whether or not he would go to the Capitol, and he was adamant that he be able to do that.

“I imagine that he thought that he would enter like Mussolini being carried on the shoulders of his supporters and enter the Capitol.

“Donald Trump really went to bed the night before on the evening of Jan. 5 believing that he was going to be staying in office for another four years.

“And he believed that through the day.” – Rep. Jamie Raskin, after interviewing the Secret Service agent who rode in Trump’s vehicle.
