10th of December, very early that month, so—
Q And is this chain kind of an example of, you know, Mike Brown saying, "Here's the team, this is our assignment, and we're going to, you know, meet up and then call elected officials"? Is this kind of an example of that?
A Yeah, this would be an example of us texting about, you know, one of the meetings that we've discussed previously.
Q And "we" meaning us today?
A "We" as in, yes, us in this room.
Q Okay. Great.
Let's go to tab 17. And this is a lengthier communication, so please take your time to review it. And this is Bates 1501 is the first page.
A There's a lot of these.
(Pause.)
Okay.
Q So my first question relates to this first message from Mr. Brown. It's sent November 30th, 2020. So his message is, "Good morning. We are going to call State leadership across the country later today. We may set up in the Union League or in my room, but we are going to win this thing. We are going to explain the process for legislative redress and tell them how to send representatives to th"—and he forgot the "e"—"electoral college. They've heard from lawyers who failed to explain it. So we will. And we will convince them. There's no team I'd trust more to do this. Touch base at 10 a.m. Be ready to deliver."
So my question is, he says, "They've heard from lawyers who failed to explain it." Do you know what he's referring to in that sentence?
A No.
