One of the Democrats' big claims against President Donald Trump over the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol was that he wanted to go there, intended to go there and threatened to go there.
That was the day thousands gathered to hear him speak and a small number of those went to the Capitol, many to protest the adoption of the 2020 Electoral College victory for Joe Biden, which they viewed as the result of corruption.
Of those, a few hundred rioted.
What is known now is that that election was the result of two significant undue influences on voters, one being the $400 plus million that Mark Zuckerberg handed out to various elections officials who largely used it to attract Biden supporters. Never before in American elections has that sum of money been handed out, outside of the structure of election expense rules.
The other was the FBI's interference, when it instructed media corporations to suppress reporting about the Biden family scandals as revealed in a laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden.
Turns out those reports were accurate, and the FBI knew at the time it was telling publications to keep them hidden from voters. A subsequent polling showed that scheme alone likely turned the election from Trump to Biden.
Democrats long have claimed that Trump planned to be at the Capitol with his supporters, based on statements from some Trump aides who recalled to Nancy Pelosi's partisan committee looking into actions that day that Trump "might" have wanted to go to the Capitol.
Further, Ex-Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson "claimed in a disputed account based on hearsay that on the way back from his speech Trump lunged at the driver of the presidential limo to commandeer it and take it to the Capitol. The Secret Service and Trump deny that happened, and no evidence has emerged to validate Hutchinson’s claim. That did not stop the account from making its way into mainstream media," reported Just the News.
But the report said the publication reviewed Secret Service documents and found "no plan" for Trump to be heading to the Capitol that day.
"All presidential trips are highly scripted because of the need for security. The Secret Service places assets at all locations where a president may go. That did not happen at the Capitol, according to the Secret Service records reviewed by Just the News, suggesting Trump’s alleged statements to the presidential aides two days earlier did not result in a change of plan," the report explained.
In fact, the Secret Service plan for President Trump that day stated: "1050 – Depart White House via motorcade en route the Ellipse …1055 – Arrive the Ellipse. 1135 – Depart the Ellipse via motorcade en route White House. 1140 – Arrive White House."
Further, the report noted an accompanying PowerPoint from the Secret Service "laid out all the security provisions for the event, and it like the plan made no mention of a stop at the Capitol."
Both of the documents had been provided to Pelosi's committee, which was partisan because she refused to let Republicans nominate their own members to participate. In fact, no one got on that committee without special approval from Pelosi, who had just staged two failed impeach-and-remove campaigns against Trump.
And, the report said, Trump's impromptu suggestion during his speech to go to the Capitol prompted a scramble among agents, confirming there were no plans for him to be there.
Just the News explained the false report has "become one of the enduring messages of the House Democrats’ final report on the Jan. 6 riot: Donald Trump had a plan and an intention to go directly to the U.S. Capitol to join those disrupting the certification of the 2020 election results."
The final report from Pelosi's committee, in fact, claimed it was concerned that Trump "actually intended to participate personally in the January 6th efforts at the Capitol."
That claim has been echoing across American legacy media ever since.
