Why is the Jan 6 committee interested in Trump's White House visitor log?

Asked by LostInParadise (31907points) February 17th, 2022

And why is Trump opposed to submitting it? Who would be on the list other than the usual suspects – family, aides and cabinet, members of Congress and maybe an occasional corporate executive?

Who would be on that list?
Some of the insurrectionists and/or people connected to them, indicating that the Orangutan was involved with the planning of that attempted coup.

Members / leaders of Proud Boy and Oath Keepers visiting Trump ?

That would be real bad for Trump. Conspiracy by Trump before the January 6th insurrection.

The creeps that he associated with to stir his dirty pot.
He is opposed to it because he is guilty as hell and trying to hide of flush as much as possible.
In the words of another great President “I’m not a crook”

Supposedly, certain politicians were showing insurgents around the capital before Jan 6, to show them where the chambers are, Pelosi’s office, Pence’s office, etc. Supposedly that log could potentially show who the “Proud Boys” “Q-anon” and others were talking to in the planning of the insurrection. I guarantee if I found out one of the Congressmen or Senators from my state were involved, I would do what I could to make sure they were not voted back in office.

President Joe Biden is ordering the release of Trump White House visitor logs to the House committee investigating the riot of Jan. 6, 2021, once more rejecting former President Donald Trump’s claims of executive privilege.

Because it was totally illegal for him to remove them in the first place. Many of the files were clearly marked “Top Secret.”

Is there anything trump does that isn’t illegal?

Even though he’s probably not involved, how about ensuring that “Mansion” is never returned to office?
