Trump Was At A Meeting Where Loyalists Discussed Plans To Break Into Voting Machines - TPM – Talking Points Memo

But of course he was. It was probably his idea.

I am trying to reconcile two statements:

This one:

Here’s what’s new: It turns out Trump was at a meeting where those nascent, unlawful efforts were also discussed — back in December 2020. Trump was present as allies discussed a plot to unlawfully access voting machine software in Michigan and Georgia, according to testimony heard by the Jan. 6 committee.

And this one:

While the extent to which Trump may have been aware of the plot is still unclear

So he was in the room but not aware of the plot? Some clarification is needed.

Not this one.
I gather his skin tone is too natural.

He is up to his neck in all of this crap and I’m hoping he doesn’t skate on all the charges against him. He is a cheap crook.

Something, anything, they could use to manufacture a story - no matter how obviously full of bullshit and lies - to further their attempt to overthrow the duely elected government.

We have a certain amount of time to deliver the goods. Because the Right is good at manufactured bluster, the deliberate, silent actions of the DOJ, juxtaposed over this background Noise, come off as less than they really are.

In point of fact, the DOJ jabbering every other day (like the Trumpists) would be the ones doing the Performance Art
