Patrick Byrne Testimony to J6 Committee – The SolarWinds hack justified election investigations – Trump was optimistic but decided to not proceed after advice from Rudy Giuliani…
During a WH meeting in Dec 2020, Patrick Byrne, along with Michael Flynn, and Sidney Powell hoped to convince Trump to invoke emergency national security powers to investigate the 2020 elections justified by the ‘SolarWinds’ hack. The argument presented to Trump was that two executive orders give the President a range of options in the case of foreign interference in our elections. At one point Trump was convinced and agreed they should execute the task using the DHS after Flynn’s recommendation. But their efforts would be opposed by a handful of White House lawyers and advisers with raised voices determined to keep the president from giving in to that temptation. One of the moments of frustration was when Trump asked his lawyer “Why haven’t you shown me these letters?” To which Pat Cipollone answered, “I’m your White House lawyer. I’m not your campaign lawyer.” That’s when things went downhill.
After the meeting broke for a little bit, some from both sides reconvened for a bit, but without Trump. Eventually Byrne ended up leaving the WH thinking the plan has been decided upon and it was time to move forward, but later learning that Trump decided not to follow through with any action after taking advise from Rudy Giuliani. Patrick found out about the decision after speaking with Rudy and let him know, “Patrick, by the time you walked out, I went back and told the President, ‘You can’t go forward with this plan, absolutely can’t go forward with this plan. We’ll all end up in prison. And you can’t go forward with this plan.”
