Before the new year, I had thought that Mark had just been indulging some of the January 6th plans, but as the days passed, he seemed more prepared to embrace a plan for the vice president to reject states’ electoral votes. On New Year’s Eve, he asked me to talk to Tony about a potential motorcade movement to Capitol Hill following the president’s rally. Tony and I agreed that the movement would be almost impossible. I hoped Mark would not raise the issue again.
