00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:04.170
<v 0>Authorities are narrowing in on two far, right extremist groups,</v>

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:05.250
the oath keepers,

3
00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:10.020
and the proud boys as they investigate what happened on January six, um,

4
00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:14.100
members of the two groups make up a really small part of the more than 300

5
00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:18.270
people who've been arrested so far, but they've become very much central, um,

6
00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:22.590
targets for the justice department as they try to figure out what level of

7
00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:26.400
planning and coordination had been going on that day. Um,

8
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.280
and what we found as we looked through the court documents,

9
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:34.520
there has been evidence emerging in recent years in court documents that

10
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:37.400
show how authorities believe the institution groups,

11
00:00:37.400 --> 00:00:41.420
or at least some members of these two groups were planning and coordinating with

12
00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:45.710
one another in the days and weeks leading up to January 6th, the thirties have,

13
00:00:45.740 --> 00:00:50.510
um, lots of inter internal communications, social media messages, text messages,

14
00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:53.840
um, in the case of the Oak keepers, um, during the siege,

15
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.100
some of the extremists were actually communicating over an encrypted messaging

16
00:00:58.100 --> 00:01:03.080
app called Zello. So they have all of those discussions as well. And they show,

17
00:01:03.140 --> 00:01:06.950
um, for the oath keepers, for example, that, um,

18
00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:10.220
preparing for January 6th, very much as if they were heading towards,

19
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:12.470
if there's evidence of advanced planning,

20
00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:16.460
I guess it could make it harder to argue that Trump's speech on January 6th was

21
00:01:16.460 --> 00:01:19.490
solely responsible for inciting the writers.

22
00:01:19.490 --> 00:01:24.350
Certainly as defense attorneys tried to raise that issue during

23
00:01:24.350 --> 00:01:26.120
his impeachment trial. And they said, you know,

24
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.200
there's evidence that these extremist groups were going to do this. Um,

25
00:01:30.260 --> 00:01:34.160
so you know, his speech certainly can't be responsible for that.
