 New details show extent of GOP effort to unwind Trump’s loss
by Rebecca Beitsch - 04/27/22 5:15 AM ET

Documents and texts stemming from the House investigation into Jan. 6, 2021, offer new details about the extent House Republicans, particularly members of the Freedom Caucus, were involved in plans to unwind the 2020 election — even as lawyers at the White House warned them their proposals could be illegal.

The content — released in the committee’s court battle against Mark Meadows and in a trove of texts to the former chief of staff obtained by CNN — outlines a lengthy list of Republicans involved in conversations with the White House about planning for the rallies on Jan. 6 and efforts to oppose the certification of votes that day.

Taken together, the messages show how early the White House reached out to lawmakers in its effort to keep former President Trump in office.

They also show a consistent effort by various members to strategize over how to keep Trump in office after his election loss.

That effort ranged from selecting alternate slates of electors from swing states ahead of the Electoral College vote to directing the crowd to the Capitol after the Jan. 6 rallies to discussing the possibility that Trump declare martial law days before he was set to leave office.

So, the members of the Sedition Caucus could possibly be morally, if not legally, guilty of sedition of the Constitutional peaceful transfer of power?

Don't give me that "the election was stolen nonsense".  People could say the same thing about Bush '43's 2020 victory, and Red Sox fans could say the same thing about the 1986 World Series.

American sportsmanship acknowledges the outcome of the game without necessarily agreeing with it.

Until there are convictions, nobody is guilty of anything; just as there is no "do-over" for the 2020 Election or "take-backsies" for slates of Electors.

The 2020 Election game is over, with a controversial outcome, but it is over.

Yep.  It's time for fat ladies and curtains, as the walls close in.

It's not over if electoral cheating is still going on.  Laws need to be changed in a lot of states.
