1. by attempting a coup. as in if they dont leave the crimes dont get uncovered.

[maxsolomon]

2. By replacing the Sec Def?

By filing lawsuit after lawsuit?

Hokay, Jamali.

[Lucinda]

10. The lawsuits are to con the voters out of money - a reporter working on the firings story

is saying that denying Biden access to briefings and firing people is being done to cover the trail of those who were trying to frame the Bidens for corruption overseas

12. so, go into the DoD computers and delete the emails?

there's a LOT of back up tapes in a rigorous, disciplined dept like the DoD. that sort of shenanigans leaves a trail itself.

3. Yet...the tRumpsters are going to get radical...

I sense they will do what they do and be abusive and probably violent this weekend...adds to the distraction as well...

4. Maybe "businessman" Trump has convinced himself it's just another "hostile takeover." nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

5. I am hoping ALL this is is covering crimes that if a Dem did it they would be

taken out in one day by millions of rightwingers with guns


sigh

7. So the resident-in-chief is going full out dictator.

It's funny, but I notice that even McConnell is getting nervous about what's happening with Trump. Conspiracy to commit treason is such an ugly term.

6. It's not even that. It's a toddler throwing a tantrum and his enablers cheering him on.

I get that everyone thinks they have to try to understand and/or explain this, but there's nothing to understand. It's expected behavior.

We already know he's a criminal, as is pretty much everyone connected with him. This changes nothing.

8. One of the journalists working on this broke it down very thoroughly

If I can find her thread I'll link it here...It had to do with the attempts to frame Biden for corruption...

I think this is the right set of tweets - if not you can check her feed - print is really hard for me to read on this computer!

9. They have to clean house before they leave.

Deals are being made. The cookie us crumbling right now. Someone will be left holding the bag as the rest jump into the getaway car.... everything else is just a distraction.

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. It will take a while to hide 4 yrs of daily selling our secrets to foreign governments for

cash into the pockets of trump and kushner.

Or providing favors...


Just one of these would end the existence of any Democrat anywhere, but these are cons so no big deal I guess.

16. There's some ugly stuff they need to deep six.

Trump and cronies went over the line so much and unbeknownst to anyone that they can’t have another administration find out.

They are in way too deep. They literally have to fight tooth and nail until the end to avoid their crimes from being exposed.

17. Why do I think there's a bunch of patriot CIA employees who have a thumbdrive ready for Biden?

[William Seger]

18. I think Lawrence O'Donnell might be right, it's just a scam to raise money

He's asking for money to pay legal expenses but I read that half of what he's raising is paying off his campaign debts.
