Fiona Hill: "The president was trying to stage a coup"

The insurrection was not the original plan to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

There was a well-orchestrated conspiracy between multiple government agencies staffed with Trump operatives in leadership positions.

Plan A was to re-run voting in swing states — using agencies of the government itself.


From way back at the beginning of this thread:


Of interest: the sudden replacement of several top-echelon officials at the DOD in November, followed by the unprecedented letter from all living former Defense Secretaries in January reminding Defense officials that "...“there’s no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of a U.S. election. Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory..."

Redstate's take on the replacements, at the time: "So the SecDef, the policy chief, the chief of intelligence, and the SecDef’s chief of staff were all replaced in a 24-hour period. There is a lot of speculation on the reasoning. Some of it stupid, like the idea that Trump is preparing a military coup."

Reading the comments below the Redstate piece, here the first one:

"This means that, should riots occur, Trump can reliably call on his military leadership to act in accordance with the law."

Insurrection Timeline – First the Coup and Then the Cover-Up

By November 9, every news organization declared that former Vice President Joe Biden had won the election. On that day, Trump fired Acting Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and replaced him with Miller, an Army retiree who worked for a defense contractor until Trump tapped him as his assistant in 2018. Miller’s promotion began a departmental regime change that embedded three fierce Trump loyalists as top Defense Department officials: Kash Patel (former aide to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA)), retired army Gen. Anthony Tata (pro-Trump Fox News pundit) and Ezra Cohen-Watnick (former assistant to Trump’s first national security adviser, Mike Flynn).

At such a late date in Trump’s presidency, many asked why the shake-up at the Department of Defense? We may be learning the answer.

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he pressured then-Attorney General Bill Barr to pursue bogus voter fraud claims after his election loss even if it meant being impeached.

Trump claimed in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity that Barr did not want to investigate his baseless voter fraud claims because he was worried about being impeached even though Barr has repeatedly said the Justice Department did not pursue the claims because there was no evidence of any widespread fraud that could have affected the election outcome.

That is a lie. Trump never pressured Barr to pursue "bogus" voter fraud claims. The bogus claims were made by democrats insisting they conducted a secret counting of unverifiable ballots for Biden in the most honest election in US history.

That's not my job. My job is to tell the truth and advocate for what is right. It is God's job to stop a nation from turning away from Him and going down the wide road to hell if that is what He wants to do.

The only way you can overturn the results of the 2020 election and send Trump back to the White House is through the courts. Don't want to do that? Then quit whining about it.

I am not trying to do anything to change anything. Democrats committed massive voter fraud in 2020 and I speak out against it. That is the limit of my concern.

Lying leftist democrats believe that conservative Christians are extremists and a terrorist threat to America. That is brain-dead stupid.
The majority of Republican politicians don't believe your lies about the election. Everyone from Mike Pence to Dan Crenshaw calls you a liar to your face. This means that thousands of Republicans violently invaded the US Capitol in an attempt to terrorize lawmakers and overthrow the election. It didn't work, but the attempt was made.

It simply too embarrassing to admit that THEIR guy is far more disliked/hated than he is loved.

Democrats committed massive voter fraud and continue to lie about it in spite of the fact that large numbers of crooked democrats either knew what they did or participated personally in the theft. Those lying leftist crooks are despicable.
