The "I have no lawyer because I have done nothing wrong" defense.

Did Donald Trump actually think his "coup attempt" would work?

What did he think would happen if Pence and Pelosi would have been killed?

Would they have called off or postponed the inauguration of Joe Biden?

Would the military have stepped in and announced him the "Temporary Leader" until the next election could take place?

Could he have been successful in persuading America that the election was a "fraud" and that he was really the winner?

How did he plan to pull off this coup?

1. Plan?

We talking about the same ex-president?

2. Good point.

He would just lie and make it up as he went.

3. I worked

in the security system world for a while...designing major access, camera and other systems for various clients as an integrator. Most people in the field understand the chinks in the armor of those systems all too well, and how even the most elaborate systems can be thought around if there was enough brain power to do so. The saying was generally along the lines of "we are soooo damn lucky that 95% of the criminal element is as dumb as a bucket of hair".

That's why I count myself among those who are worried about the next Repuke Nazi waiting in the wings: if they get a significantly smarter one, we're fucked.
