If Denver Riggleman, the former Republican Congressman turned Select Committee investigator, is somehow “lying” or shading the truth, his reputation will be forever ruined while also robing the Select Committee of all the credibility and respect for the evidence it has presented. The odds that Riggleman is exaggerating are so low as to be almost impossible. Perhaps “Zero with a plus sign” (it is too low to calculate).

Riggleman now says that so many direct calls from rioters to people in the White House came in that the Committee was literally forced to graph them out to make sense of the data points. According to the interview:

Six pretty big centers of gravity or six groups that we looked at and really it came down to Trump team, Trump family, rally goers, unaffiliated DOJ charged defendants, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, and others which are state legislators, alternate electors, things like that/ When you have those six groups of people you can look at the connections between them.”

Trump family? The adult kids. Team Trump? Meadows. Riggleman jokes that it seemed like everyone in DC had Meadows’s personal phone number. And do note that the rioters were not the ones charged by DOJ. These rioters were on a perimeter, passing instructions along. Not the ones beating cops.

The big blue bulge would almost certainly represent Meadows. The smaller bulges? “Trump family?” These call “graphs” can be very helpful with “center of gravity” stuff. Who does the Committee most need to interview? According to Riggleman:

And when you have the White House switchboard and certain other cell phone numbers connected to Bianca Gracia that is a link that needs to be investigated. The thread that needs to be pulled identifying all the White House numbers and why we have certain specific people, why they were talking to the White House.”

The data simply blows up the spontaneous uprising theory and all possibility that the White House wasn’t involved in coordinating the attack. This is critical data that will be a bombshell at the next hearing.
