Chris Hayes: Oath Keepers Were Doing What They Thought Trump Wanted

Well, that's it... Republicans can no longer say that there were no weapons at the J-6.  There were deadly assault weapons in the plan.  They were being concealed as part of the plan to keep them away from police confiscation by not bringing them in until the insurrectionist had secured the building, quite possibly that meant they planned to have hostages by that time. Any "hostages" they planned for would have been lawmakers and other Congressional officials/aides.  This was a really bad, deadly planned all-out assault on the Capitol, the only reason it didn't reach that extremity was that Trump was finally pressured into calling off the mission.
