I suspect too many Generals were considered unreliable.
I think their ‘plan’ was to just seize the machines, make up whatever vote totals they needed for a win, and report the results. What happens after that? I don’t think they planned that far ahead. We are talking about a bunch of morons.
I don’t buy it. Sounds like a lawyer’s cya for his clients.
Yeah but what is meant by “seize the machine”? That’s really my question. If they were going to seize all of those evoting machines, where were they going to put them? Sorry I guess I’m just in a practical frame of mind right now - logistics for this ridiculous plan seem to be another thing they failed to consider.
Yes, it’s scary as hell when you’re relying on Cuccinelli to do the right thing.
of course tfg was deeply involved, we knew that in real time just by reading his tweets
Just wait until that Orange motherfscker finds out who’s in charge of the DC National Guard. Or, more precisely, wait until he figures out that the rest of us already know that…
TFG’s ego is so huge he doesn’t believe anything bad will dare happen to him because he’s Donald Fucking Trump.
I can’t wait until they pull the fucking trigger.
Again…
Nail the fuckin’ minions…for a HOST of reasons, related to upbringing. personal history and experiences, Trump will bloviate and scream the same things
- six months from his being held accountable
- six weeks from his being held accountable
- six days from his being held accountable
- six…
I’m with Clutch Cargo, but I’d go a bit further. The plan probably was to seize enough voting machines from the “right” states to make up enough votes to show that Trump “won” those states, and then get the Republican legislatures and/or governors/secretaries of state of those states to reject whatever official vote-counts had been reported and send in “corrected” slates of GOP electors. Pence would then have gaveled that Trump-Pence won the Electoral College.
Looks like intent, sounds like intent, smells like intent. It’s not a duck.
It’s the cyber, they didn’t give the cyber detecting glasses!
How will Dence manage to suck up to THAT!
Some interesting cognitive dissonance (so what else is new?) in this latest 45th President missive.
“If it were sent back to the legislators, or if Nancy Pelosi, who is in charge of Capitol security, had taken my recommendation and substantially increased security, there would have been no ‘January 6th’ as we know it!”
So let’s get this straight: Today he’s saying it’s bad that the rioters broke into the Capitol because there should have been more cops, and that’s Pelosi’s fault. But over the weekend at the Texas rally, he says they deserve pardons and will get one if he’s reelected…
One story for the mainstream media, another story for the rubes at the rally. He’s still trying to figure out how to tap dance around the insurrection.
From Matt’s article:
Before that, in November 2020, then-Attorney General Bill Barr reportedly also shot down the suggestion that the Justice Department could seize voting machines.
In the NY Times article, they report that Barr refused Trump’s request “six weeks after the election,” which would put it in mid-December. Trump and Barr met at the White House late on the night of December 14. Immediately after that meeting, Trump tweeted:
December 14, 2020
22:39:01 Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family…

Like how to distribute the covid vaccine?
A lack of logistical planning seems to be a feature with tfg’s crew.
Send the machines to the crusher and proclaim victory.
With the motivation borne out of calculating that he needs Trump voters for his personal and entirely selfish political desires.
You mean, no problem!
With lead boots. He ain’t no Bill Bojangles Robinson.
