[12over]

Source: Raw Story

Controversial My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell was spotted entering the West Wing of the White House on Friday. Lindell, who has pushed the conspiracy theory about election fraud that incited the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, visited the White House hours after posting, "Keep the faith everyone! We will have our president Donald Trump 4 more years!"

C-SPAN and multiple members of the White House press corps noticed Lindell entering the West Wing.But it was Washington Post photographer Jabin Botsford who managed to capture part of the notes Lindell brought with him. While the entire width of the page is not visible, it is possible to read "...martial law if necessary upon the first hint of any..."

Lindell also appears to suggest moving former Devin Nunes aid Kash Patel to an acting role at the Central Intelligence Agency.

China and Iran also also mentioned.

New York Times reporter Kenneth Vogel wondered what part of the document had been crossed out.

13. MyPillow Guy Presents Trump With 'China' Election-Fraud Theory, Lawyers Send Him Packing

What happens when a compulsive liar is given advice by a true believer in his BS lies? You get an impatient brush off. Trump knows that he lost, so what he wants is a way to keep power despite this fact. His problem is that at this point he has surrounded himself with crazy sycophants who believe his lies and conspiracy theories, so rather than come up with a plan that almost came to fruition such as disrupting Congress to disrupt the transition with false claims of election fraud (almost, but not quite), Trump is getting proposals from his sycophants that are predicated on proving the his conspiracy theories, which Trump really knows are full of crap. So, you get the exchange quoted in this article:

Lindell: “Mr. President, this is real, you really won by at least 10 million votes.”

Trump: “Well, yeah, we all know there was fraud, Mike.” (Send Lindell away).

In the final week of his presidency, Donald Trump met in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon with Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO and a personal friend of the president’s, who presented Trump with six pages of documents, loaded with unproven conspiracy theories, that he told him proved that China and other countries helped steal the 2020 election for Joe Biden.

Lindell says that after a “five-to-ten minute meeting” in the Oval, Trump asked someone to take the MyPillow inventor to a different room to show his documents to “the lawyers,” and then asked for staff to bring Lindell back afterwards. Following a roughly two hour wait, according to Lindell, he finally met with White House attorneys who dismissed his claims but said they would “look into it.” He was then not allowed to see the president again on Friday.

“Maybe Trump got busy, I don’t know,” Lindell said in an interview on Friday evening.

During the meeting, Lindell says that he informed President Trump—who after inspiring a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol last week still hasn’t accepted that his Democratic opponent beat him in the 2020 presidential election—that materials alleging China and other nations’ involvement in a supposed anti-Trump election-hacking operation were “all over the internet,” but were being suppressed by Big Tech.

6. Drumpf was going to put Kash Patel in as CIA deputy

back in Dec. Pence and Pat Cipollone defended CIA director Gina Haspel, so Drumpf changed his mind. Per Axios article:

https://www.axios.com/kash-patel-cia-gina-haspel-757b92c0-82a5-457b-bde8-d0d683ee222e.html

So, maybe Drumpf might do it now...

8. Jeez When the my pillow

11. Boycott his crap pillows. If not you are trading with the enemy

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. Shouldn't be difficult. His company has an F rating

from the Better Business Bureau. Those are pretty rare.

[alphafemale]

26. They are cut up foam

About the crappiest pillow ever.

Anyone buying it deserves to lose the nice dinner and movie they could have had.

[Initech]

14. Do these idiots even know what real martial law is?

Or does it exist only in Q Anon world. Sorry, I don't speak batshit.

[LuckyLib]

16. Mikey, you've been fluffed. DJT gave you 10 minutes, passed you

off to folks in another room, who let you sit for two hours. You really are stupid.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. CREATE MORE HEADACHES, SELL MORE PILLOWS!!

This is Nigerian email marketing methodology!

[Paladin]

19. Doing something genuinely good would never occur to this shithead.

You know---like donating a bunch of his fucking pillows to all those National Guard troops, currently sleeping with their heads on the Capitol floor.

[ffr]

20. May his business sales fall flat on its face for a quick bankruptcy.

I wonder what the penalty is for aiding and abetting insurrection.

[apnu]

21. It is crazy to me that these Trump people are so lax about security.

They regularly write stuff down on paper and carry it out, not even putting it in a folder, folio, or bag, for any photographer with a long lens and digital camera to see.

For the past 4 years we've seen how sloppy Trumpers are with papers.

And they're still using frigging paper! Its like they're trapped in 1985, what idiots.

This camera technology was around in Obama's time, but everyone serious about their jobs has never had this problem. When was the last time you heard of McConnell or Schumer ever having their notes photographed?

This fact alone should tell us how incompetent the Trump world is.

[Blue Owl]

22. Took that fucker two years to invent a pillow -- something that's been around for centuries

Keep that dumb shithead away from any position of power

[twodogsbarking]

23. There's chips in them thar pillows

they are tracking what you do in bed.

[BobTheSubgenius]

24. Because Kash Patel did such a good job of playing the part of an aide, I suppose.

I wonder what roles the CIA has open.

[lees1975]

25. The martial law theory has been floated before

and it doesn't work in stopping a succession. Trump lost an election that has been certified. A lawyer would probably have to dig deep into the details to affirm, but as I read the law, he'd need the cooperation of the joint chiefs and congress, and it doesn't "suspend" the constitution, only certain portions of it temporarily. The transfer of power would still take place, the new President would inherit it.
