President Trump was looking at a tight race for the USA presidency. His polled approval was below 45%.
In part, because of the July 25, 2019 tapes of his threatening to withhold over $400 million from Ukraine, unless newly elected Ukraine President Zelensky interfered in the 2020 USA Presidential election.
That selfish abuse of Office, and power, caused President Trump to lose support from the swing voters in the USA. The suburban voters. He could not afford to lose votes, for in 2016 he lost the popular vote by three million votes. And the Russians that helped him get elected in 2016, were in 2020 not able to send propaganda to Electoral college swing state, targeted registered voters, manipulating some to hate Trump’s opponent, and others to stay home and not vote. As the Russian IRA did in the 2016 Presidential election.
President Trump had an emerging plan, known to a few insiders. A plan to violate the votes of voters. A plan to steal the Election. By claiming Democrats stole the Election, and using that big lie, to trigger fear, and hate, and desire to avenge a supposedly stolen election.
On August 17, 2020, President Trump said: “The only way we’re going to lose this election, is if the election is rigged.”
President Trump lost the 2020 popular vote by seven million votes. Shortly after the November 3 Presidential votes were counted, President Trump claimed the Election was stolen. Days later Montana Senator Steve Daines texted that Democrats stole the Election.
On November 9, 2020, Senator Daines alleged different types of Election fraud. That day, President Trump summarily fired Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, and appointed Christopher Miller as acting Secretary of Defense.
During November, fired up by propaganda on You Tube, Fbook, Reddit and some of Twitter, the Proud Boys, also Oath Keepers, began readiness exercises. On 9/29/20, Proud Boys understood President Trump messaged them to ‘Stand back, but stand by.’
After November 21, President Trump knew there were no Presidential election irregularities in Michigan. By early December he knew that although he won Maricopa County, Arizona in 2016, he lost Maricopa County, and Arizona’s Electoral College vote, in 2020. November 22, saw a Florida chapter of Oath Keepers prepare for “unconventional warfare.”
On December 14, The Electoral College made it official; Joe Biden got 306 EC votes. President Trump got 232 EC votes, but he had a workable plan to not transfer Official power to Joe Biden. A plan worked by dozens of people he had already worked with. Civilian and military experts using psychology to identify persuadable groups to be targeted. Groups like the Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers, then stream them with media propaganda designed to motivate some men to plan for violent terrorism on January 6, 2021.
During December of 2020, President Trump united carefully selected, political, media, and side operatives, in common purpose. Using dog whistling, bullhorning, and especially gas lighting, to convince many Americans that great crimes had been committed against the 2020 Presidential Election. Massive fraud. Vote counting in foreign countries. Truckloads of ballots that were never counted.
Wrongfully alleged crimes that to some justified, even called for, a great crime. Attacking Congress, when on Constitutional required January 6, Vice President Pence, acting as Senate President, would preside over a joint session of Congress, and formally receive the Electoral votes from each of the States, then Certify Joe Biden as President of the USA. All in compliance with the 12th, also the 20th, Amendments of the US Constitution, and the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
Wrongfully alleged crimes propagandizing a big lie that the 2020 Presidential, not down ticket, election was fraudulent. Although USA Courts repeatedly found no merit in Trump loyalist charges of illegitimate Presidential voting.
Wrongfully alleged crimes that to some may have justified martial law. Because if Biden lost, and Trump honsetly won, the military should not transfer power to Biden.
In early January, knowing full well he had lost, in thoroughly recounted, fair elections in Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia, after many calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Trump called again. And in a long call, foolishly committed a criminal act, by requesting Raffensperger “find” 11,780 votes for Trump. In Georgia, Joe Biden received 11,779 more votes than did President Trump.
President Trump, foolishly, committed another criminal act, when he repeatedly pressured Vice President Pence to agree to not follow the Constitution, but to do a criminal act, and not Certify Joe Biden as President.
Knowing full well he lost the Election, Trump endeavored to, and did successfully, mobilize known, racist, pro violence, groups to “corruptly impede” the Joint Session of Congress. Sure, that is a big con, but that’s also a big criminal act.
Knowing full well he lost the Election, but wanting to stay in power, Trump incited an insurrection. That is a criminal act.
On the day the Constitution requires a Joint Session of Congress, Trump caused up to 80,000 people to assemble in Washington DC. Some 2,000 people breached the Capitol building holding the Joint Session of Congress. Each person causing an average of $15,000 in damages. So far, some 700 people have been charged with Federal offences related to 1/6/21, and about 200 have pleaded guilty. Now, the more serious charges are being revealed.
A Grand Jury sworn in on January 8, 2021, charged Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, and nine other Oath Keepers, with “seditious conspiracy”; preventing lawful discharge of Constitutional duty by Congress, for the intended purpose of not transferring Constitutional power to the Elected President and Vice President.
Kelly Meggs, who had sworn to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was part of the Stack One formation, that per war room decision, breached the East Door of the Capitol, turned left and headed for the Office of Nancy Pelosi.
Since “seditious conspiracy” can lead to 20 years in prison(US Code Section 2384), what’s equivalent for the people who planned to impede Congress. And “incite an insurrection”(US Code Section 2383)?
Only once in US history has a President disseminated a big lie for the purpose of trashing the Constitution, and not transferring power to the duly elected President and Vice President.
All part of the biggest con ever pulled off by Donald Trump.
There may, or may not, be provable links between President Trump and the seven slates of fraudulent Electors, and preventing the National Guard from making a timely response to the three hour attack within the Capitol building.
Three Grand Juries are hearing evidence about facts, factors, and figures that led up to the January 6, 2021 well planned terrorist assault on the joint session of the Congress of the USA.
