    Is this the relevant part?

    Former Trump aide Nick Luna also shared that when the ex-president was told about Vice President Mike Penceā€™s need to be moved to a secure location, Trump responded by saying ā€œSo what?ā€ Luna perceived this as an ā€œunexpected willingnessā€ on Trumpā€™s part to expose a longtime loyalist to potential harm.

    ā€œIndeed, Trumpā€™s angry response to Scavinoā€™s comment to him that thereā€™s smoke coming out of the Capitol in effect was, ā€˜Let it Burn,ā€™ā€ Gershman said. ā€œAnd his nonchalant indifference to Vice President Penceā€™s safety and welfare offers chilling proof that Trumpā€™s conscious purpose, namely, his intent, was first to incite an insurrection and then by his inaction to demonstrate his intent that the insurrection effectively stop Congress from doing its constitutional duty to certify the election results.ā€

    This proof would be ā€œpowerful circumstantialā€ evidence of Trumpā€™s criminal intent underlying all the federal charges, he added.

      I find it crazy how Trump trying to foege election results with fake certificates and get those flown into DC somehow didnā€™t affect any of these things at all.

      Like wtf.
