Cont: Trump's Coup - Part 3

[Stacyhs]

Tina Peters (Trumper), the clerk of Mesa County, Colorado who’s long been suspected of involvement in a leak of county election machine data last year, was arrested Tuesday morning.

Looks like Tina may be getting an additional charge of "resisting arrest".

Forging fake elector certifications for Trump and sending them to the National Archives, and now a Michigan prosecutor say Rudy G. asked him to turn over MI voting machines to Trump's team.

Giuliani’s team called Rossiter around Nov. 20, 2020, Rossiter said, as it worked to overturn Trump’s defeat to Biden. The direct appeal to a local law enforcement official was part of a broader effort by Trump’s allies to access voting machines in an attempt to prove that the election had been stolen. That effort extended to a recently disclosed draft executive order for Trump’s signature to have National Guard troops seize machines across the nation.

It seems to be Republicans that committed voter fraud and broke election laws. Projection?

Just out of curiosity, does anyone still hold the position that there was no attempted coup?

I think we should welcome conservatives who actually have what used to be conservative principals who oppose Trump..
I know that will make people here mad, but I think to reduct this to just another "Liberal vs Conservative" fight is a huge mistake. People will start to dismiss it as "just more politics".

Here, very few.
I wonder what the endgame was..or if Trump really had an endgame in mind other then clinging to power as long as possible.

I think his efforts this time was to stay in office another term.

I'm less inclined to believe he had plans to stay in office beyond that, but he's surprised me with his disregard for democracy, law, and the Constitution before. There is really no telling.

If he did leave after a successful coup and two terms in office, I'm inclined to think he would have named his successor who would then "win the election", a la Russia and Putin.

Yes. Liz Cheney is about as conservative as you get, but she's not a Trumper.

He did say that he deserved extra time added to his term to compensate for the investigations.

He did, indeed.

I don't see how he could have done that just by delaying the vote in the congress...which is all he could have done.
If it would have ended wiht the mob taking congresspeople prisoner you are looking at a second civil war.

I think the one lesson we’ve learned is that you can do anything so long as there are no consequences.
