Carlson introduced Navarro as a victim of the Democratic Party's "massive escalation" in the use of the judicial system for partisan revenge. In fact, any person who refuses to comply with a grand jury subpoena can be arrested for refusing to do so.

At 7:44 p.m., the conversation continued with PERSON-1 texting, '1776 motherf*ckers.' Tarrio responded, 'The Winter Palace.' Person-1 texted, 'Dude. Did we just influence history?' Tarrio responded, 'Let's first see how this plays out.' Person-1 stated, 'they HAVE to certify today! Or it's invalid.' These messages were exchanged before the Senate returned to its chamber at approximately 8:00 p.m. to resume certifying the Electoral college vote."

Reporter predicts 'bombshell' Jan. 6 committee hearing will show a split-screen of Trump vs. attackers

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig explained the main ways the House Select Committee will do to show the alleged conspiracy and corruption of Donald Trump and his allies. Officials intend to show side-by-side examples of the violence at the U.S. Capitol and what was happening at the White House at the same time.

"I think, Nicolle, you are going to see some bombshells that day," Leonnig said. "I applaud my colleagues who have been reporting on this curtain-raiser for the hearings to come. The one that will be led and focused on Donald Trump, I understand, will have a lot of Donald Trump's own words as relayed by witnesses, as relayed by Donald Trump himself, people who were at his shoulder. And, so, you will see a kind of a split-screen. What was happening on the capitol at the same moment as what was happening inside the White House with Donald Trump."
