From the indictment:

81. On the afternoon of January 3, Co-Conspirator 4 spoke with a Deputy White House Counsel. The previous month, the Deputy White House Counsel had informed the Defendant that "there is no world, there is no option in which you do not leave the White House [o]n January 20th." Now the same Deputy White House Counsel tried to dissuade Co-Conspirator 4 from assuming the role of Acting Attorney General. The Deputy White House Counsel reiterated to Co-Conspirator 4 that there had not been outcome-determinative fraud in the election and that if the Defendant remained in office nonetheless, there would be "riots in every major city in the United States." Co-Conspirator 4 responded, "Well, [Deputy White House Counsel], that's why there's an Insurrection Act."

But you know what's really outrageous?

Todays Jay Kuo is understandably a lot longer than usual today. Lots to consider:

"We don't know for certain yet what defenses Trump will deploy, but we can make some good, educated guesses. One of them will be 'advice of counsel,' that is, that Trump was acting upon the advice of his lawyers and, gosh, he was just listening to them and doing what they said to do.

Trump loves walls, and this argument will run straight into one. You see, advice of counsel doesn't fly if the lawyers themselves were in on the crime. In other words, if the lawyers were co-conspirators with the Defendant on the plot, as the indictment alleges, this defense isn't available. It's a bit like trying to hide your communications behind the attorney-client privilege when your lawyer helped you commit the crime."
