Mr.   I'd also like you to know that Mr. Aguilar has joined the deposition.

Q So going back to what you said, if the certification of the electoral college was successful, Mr. Joe Biden would be sworn in as the next President. Is that correct?

A No, that's not correct. And I'm—I'm not a lawyer, but I've read the Constitution. And—but that's not—that's not a correct reading of the Constitution.

Q So we start on the morning of January 6th, right? And you tweet, "First official day of the rebellion." And this is exhibit 11, if you want to turn to that in your binder. What did you mean by this tweet?

A This graphic on page 11, I'm going to have to add some color here. This graphic on page 11 looks like a screenshot. I can't authenticate it because I don't have a Twitter account, and it looks like y'all did not retrieve this from Twitter. So you retrieved it from, you know, wherever.

What—if I sent this at 3:13 a.m., so before I was going to sleep on the 6th, then, you know, it's color. I'm a political personality. It's legally permissible speech. And it certainly, you know, would not be illegal activity that I would publicly be tweeting about prior to legally permitted events.

Q No one's saying that it's illegal. I just want to understand what you meant by it.

A Yeah, and I wish what I understood. But what I understand today is that that is a colorful language that you find on MSNBC or Fox News.

Q Do you recall tweeting, "First official day of the rebellion," on January 6th?

A No, I don't specifically. But this is believable.

Q Do you recall on January 5th at a rally leading chants of "victory or death"?
