On Sunday, ABC News reported former Deputy Chief-of-Staff Dan Scavino, who continues to work for Trump as a Paid Adviser to His Election Campaign, said He and others who were present in the White House as the Mob stormed the Capitol, that Trump sat and watched Images of the Insurrection without taking Action.
A Tweet including the phrase “Stay Peaceful,” which appeared on Trump’s Twitter Account, almost half an hour after the Pro-Trump forces Smashed through the Windows of the Capitol, was Not written by Trump. Instead, it was both Written and Posted by Scavino, while Trump sat Cheering on the Attack.
The “stay peaceful” part of the Tweet was always a Lie. The message appeared over an hour after Police on the Scene first reported Injuries and called for Backup, as the Mob forced them to Retreat to the Capitol Steps, and Broke through Line after Line. It was far too Late for the Supporters to stay Peaceful.
The Brief Tweet, seems to be urging Trump Supporters to at least Halt their Assaults on the Police, though it notably doesn’t Call for them to Withdraw from the Capitol.
But even this small gesture turns out to be a Lie. According to the Testimony reported by ABC, the Tweet came as Trump was sitting in the White House Dining Room “with his arms folded and his eyes locked on the TV,” angrily cheering on the Insurgents. After 20 minutes of trying to get Trump to send some kind of Message to calm the situation, Scavino and other Aides stepped out of the room. When they did, Trump pulled out His Phone and posted to Twitter: “Pence didn’t have the courage” Tweet.
This Tweet spurring the Insurgents on was Authentically Written and Posted by Trump. After seeing this Message, Scavino and Others returned to the Dining room and told Trump this wasn’t what was needed to Resolve the Situation. “But it’s true,” said Trump. When He was told that Pence had to be Rushed to a Secure Location, Trump responded, "So what?"
It was only after this, with Insurgents already Inside the Capitol and Assaults on Police continuing, that Scavino, who also had access to Trump’s Twitter Account, Wrote and Published the “Stay Peaceful” Tweet. Scavino reportedly showed the Tweet to Trump before it was Posted, and was given Permission to send it.
The New elements of this Story show that Smith’s Investigation, has only Clarified and Reinforced the Worst of what was already known about Trump’s Actions, and Inactions on Jan. 6.
The Single Action of the Afternoon, that was seen by some as Exculpatory, wasn’t Written or Posted by Trump. Instead, Trump was directly responsible only for the Tweet that Encouraged his Followers to take out their wrath on Pence.
