The pool report suggest Trump hadn't even been in the Oval prior to Lindell's visit at 3pm. Presumably only came down to meet with him.

WaPo photographer got a close-up of the My Pillow guy's notes.
Hard to read. Seems to push for using "martial law if necessary."
References Sidney Powell and, I think, an attorney at the NSA ("Fort Mead" sic). Advocates for Trump to "move Kash Patel to acting CIA"

Just in: President Trump and allies appear to now be coalescing to install Defense Department chief and former Nunes aide Kash Patel as Acting CIA Director, per notes photographed by the Washington Post.

Craziness, presumably will amount to nothing. But a conspiracy theorist and coup-inciter entering the West Wing (to see Trump?) with notes about a new national security advisor and moving Kash Patell to CIA, invoking martial law and the insurrection act, etc. is a bit...alarming.

@MyPillowUSA CEO Michael Lindell shows off his notes before going into the West Wing at the White House on Friday, Jan 15, 2021 in Washington, DC.
