As crazy as it sounds, does it sound too crazy that Trump would attempt to coordinate with Qanon “influencers” prior to January 6th? Does that sound so far beyond the bounds of just… civilization, that it would be too far, even for Trump? His presidency was on the line and, frighteningly, we suspect nothing would be too far. We have often wondered aloud whether Trump was beyond ordering someone “erased” if he was sure he would get away with it. There was an odd helicopter crash in the late 80s. We will leave it there.

It is bad enough that the House Select Committee wants records on communications between the White House and certain social media influencers associated with the Qanon movement. This might not be as surprising as it does at first blush. After all, as we have noted dozens of times (because it should never, ever, be forgotten), Marjorie Taylor-Greene has video of herself leaving the White House in late December 2020 from a meeting on the January 6th protest. More below, we feel an obligation to never let this fall down the memory hole. Again, there is much more below:

Here's video of Marjorie Taylor Greene at the White House in late Dec 2020 saying she had a "great planning session for our January 6th objection. We aren't going to let this election be stolen by Joe Biden and the Democrats. President Trump won by a landslide." Expel Greene now. pic.twitter.com/oogwe20Z8K

We were told that Trump gave a speech, one that didn’t incite anyone, and then things got out of hand from there. So why was the White House meeting with a person who had not even been sworn in as a Representative, but whose most prominent claim to fame was her insane association with the Qanon movement? Did Trump want a message out, or get a message from, various members of the Qanon movement? And what might that message have been?

Well, the Select Committee is asking to see communications from the White House to social media influencers, including those associated with Qanon:

If there is even one communication, one email, one phone call, from the White House to someone whose only real identity is that of a Qanon influencer, it would speak volumes. Indeed, one could interpret it as saying it all.
