Blockbuster here:


According to his memo, Mr. Olson was discussing with Mr. Trump the notion that the Justice Department would intercede with the Supreme Court to reverse his electoral defeat.

TFG had things in place for DoJ to work with SCOTUS.

Is that the point when Barr resigned?

I think the court from Roberts to Thomas were waiting for Pence to not certify and they would come in claiming TFG would be king of America until a fair election could take place. And of course a fair election will always be postponed.

They would stamp King Trump as 100% constitutional. While the traitorous Thomas's gloried in their destruction of democracy. But they had an idiot psycho in charge, so it all fell apart.

The plan included tampering with the Justice Department and firing the acting attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen, according to the Dec. 28 memo by Mr. Olson, titled “Preserving Constitutional Order.”
