On December 28, [CO-CONSPIRATOR #2] [CO-CONSPIRATOR #5] and [CO-CONSPIRATOR #6] exchanged text messages in which[CO-CONSPIRATOR #2] expressed concern that Gohmert v. Pence—a lawsuit filed the day before that asserted that Pence had discretion to choose electoral votes during the certification proceeding—would prompt a federal court to publicly reject, and thus preclude, the plan that the conspirators were advancing in private. Thereafter, at 11:00 a.m. on January 1 , the defendant called Pence to berate him because he had learned that Pence had filed a brief opposing the relief sought in Gohmert. When Pence explained, as he had before, that he did not believethat he had the power under the Constitution to decide which votes to accept, the defendant told him that “hundreds of thousands” of people “are gonna hate your guts” and “people are gonna think you're stupid,” and berated him pointedly, “You're too honest."
