Be sure to read these stories as they show that we know only the bare bones about the insurrection/Coup plot that was planned months for January 6. Imagine what we would know had the Secret Service not deleted all of their January 6 convos... and the planners of the many rallies held encircling the Capitol had not used burners... and AG Garland had done his job and started investigations immediately after Jan 6.
Should you like to read about the other key figures in this plot, Eastman and his involvement/disbarment, HOS has written extensively on the main page as well as here: https://fafochronicles.com/?s=eastman Although still in review, hopefully there will be action in April... https://statesuniteddemocracy.org/resources/the-final-case/
The Legal Coup
New Documents Reveal How Trump Lawyers Sought ‘Chaos’ to Force SCOTUS, or Whoever Else, to Anoint Trump
[Although titled ‘legal coup,’ this was the tRUMP lawyers attempt to steal the election via “legal” finagling … and in this case it is written only about Chesebro’s emails and documents and his contacts. Eastman’s similar attempt is a different case, tried separately, but not entirely, being they held many meetings to discuss how tRUMP would be reinstated illegally in spite of the vote! The 2000 election on steroids. Chesebro and Sidney Powell have entered guilty pleas which requires their cooperation ]
“A trove of documents obtained by TPM details many of the conversations among Trump campaign lawyers, and, in particular, the theories offered by Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney who worked with the campaign in the months leading up to Jan. 6.
Within weeks of Trump denouncing the election itself and claiming that he had won, Chesebro and Trump campaign attorneys around him began to explore more exotic legal theories in which endless chaos in Congress would prove that the legislature could not certify a winner. That stalemate, they theorized, would force the Supreme Court to act.”
Two Weeks of Chaos
Documents Obtained by TPM Show Trump Lawyers’ Plan To Make Jan. 6 Last For Days On End
“Congress could halt the certification and bring forth endless claims of election fraud in swing states, a process that, according to the documents, Chesebro hoped would create a spectacle, revealing the GOP-friendly Supreme Court as the only rational, functioning actor left standing.
It was a Rube Goldberg device of a plan, and one that sought to use chaos as the invisible force drawing the high court — and whoever else the Trump campaign attorneys believed could resolve the election — into the mess. The hours of violence that ultimately emerged on Jan. 6 as Congress met to certify Biden’s win offer a glimpse of the potential consequences that might have accompanied weeks of delay in formalizing a winner. But for a Trump campaign desperate for a win, extending Jan. 6 to Jan. 20 would allow the high court to serve as a kind of deus ex machina as Congress — and the country — remained mired in strife over the failure to complete the legal formalities around Joe Biden’s election…”
“With time running out in the days before Jan. 20, “the state legislatures would have to appoint electors if they wanted to be counted and avoid the election being thrown to the House,” Chesebro wrote, adding, “if Nancy then refused to hold a vote, Senate would reelect Pence Vice President, and he would become acting president on Jan 20.”
Jan 4…"I hope Mike Pence comes through for us. I have to tell you ... of course if he doesn't come through, I don't like him quite as much." – tRUMP
The Ideas Man
How Chesebro’s Most Radical Theories Entered Trump Campaign Planning for Pence and Jan. 6.
“Chesebro volunteered the idea that Pence could throw a wrench in this process by declining to open Biden votes from swing states, instead using the fake electoral slates that Chesebro convened as a reason to not open any votes from those states. He brought this idea to an eager Trump campaign weeks ahead of the climactic series of meetings before Jan. 6 where Eastman and Trump sought to pressure Pence into stoking as much chaos as possible. The possibility that Pence might decline to open Biden votes at all was an option that Chesebro described as a “fairly boss move.”
The documents, combined with a 4.5 hour interview that Chesebro gave to Michigan prosecutors last year reviewed by TPM, also reveal for the first time that the group received an early “no” from Pence’s camp. Chesebro told prosecutors that he walked away from a call with a legal adviser to Pence one month before Jan. 6 with the distinct impression that Pence would not diverge from a single letter of the Electoral Count Act.”
One of the Tweets which has snce been erased:
tRUMP's minions at all levels have insisted that Jan 6 was not an Insurrection. tRUMP's lawyers argued the same , in front of SCOTUS last week. How dare they.
tRUMP's coded message, "You're my last hope ..."
QAnon Rep Looney Luna was also on Donald win... as most of these folks are MAGA & QAnon
One person's shot of his gear to take to DC... ftom archived TheDonald. Win
It is just a LARP... How did he know police and military would stand down? (As some Capitol Police not in riot gear were politely letting some in and not pushing them out until much, much later. Not just Sicknick was MAGA) Fortunately, the DC police and good Capitol Police were there to stop some of them from rushing through and stealing the elector vote boxes and perhaps carrying through with this shit.
August 14, 2021 “Why wasn't Jan 6 Ellipse rally declared "National Security Event" in advance? Per new audit, US Dept of Homeland Security thought DC government had to do it. DC gov said feds had to do it. US Capitol Police & Park Service said it's not their job.” Scott MacFarlane@MacFarlaneNews
Here they remind “carpenters” to arrive early to build the gallows.
Gosh, what can one interpret from this map that was added in Dec ... and then a few times more
Jacob Lewis, California, Knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. *** Proof of premeditated Federal crime, conspiracy and sedition: Lewis, owner of a fitness business called The Gym, had a conversation with a friend back in December, suggesting the friend "watch what happens to the Capitol on the 6th.” https://www.justice.gov/opa/page/file/1361031/download
This looks pretty prepared and plotty to me...
This was added along with instructions on how to use the encrypted server and join your state's "Donald's army."
Meanwhile... the beat goes on...
Also, JoJo is a Dem. Her joke was not only prescient, but it was added to TheDonald. win ...
UPDATE 2
Wisconsin fake elector settlement offers new details on the strategy by Trump lawyers
As part of their agreements, Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis turned over more than 1,400 pages of documents, emails and text messages, along with photos and video.
Those documents settled the civil suit, but opened a can of worms for the 2 men... and undermines Chesebros testimony in discovery and to a Grand Jury that he had nothing to so with the planning or implementation ... and that it was all just in speculation and preparation of a different vote outcome in courts. *When in fact it was to create a “cloud of confusion”
