Peter Navarro says Mike Pence hung up on him as he was pitching a plan to steal the 2020 election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former White House advisor Peter Navarro says former Vice President Mike Pence hung up on him as Navarro was pitching him on a plan to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Congress.

In his new book "On Trump Time," the former White House trade policy advisor says he and Steve Bannon concocted a plan called "The Green Bay Sweep" to overturn former President Donald Trump's election loss on the joint session of Congress to count the Electoral College votes on January 6, 2021.

Under the "Green Bay Sweep," Republicans would object to the counting of electoral votes in six states that voted for President Joe Biden, resulting in up to 24 hours of nationally-televised debate.

The ultimate victory, in Navarro's telling, would be for Pence to "send" slates of electors back to the states (which legal scholars said he did not have the power to do) and for those states to "withdraw" their electoral votes for Biden, making it so that neither candidate had a majority of electoral votes and the election would be decided by the House of Representatives.

1. Lock that POS up.

[Walleye]

2. They thought they were going to "decertify" the votes. It's not a thing

[elias7]

3. This is testimony of conspiracy to commit treason, no?

[maxsolomon]

11. I believe they believed these were legal maneuvers.

Or they would have asserted they were if they'd succeeded.

The DOJ isn't going to pursue Conspiracy charges - too high a bar to clear.

[peggysue2]

4. Keep the confessions coming

These people are so arrogant they think their words of sedition will be celebrated everywhere.

Keep it up. They're making the prosecutors' jobs much easier.

[KS Toronado]

5. Their words of sedition are being celebrated, in repug circles.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. This ASSHAT navarro is proud to admit he is a seditous c-sucker?? WOW.

[Sanity Claws]

7. Pence should be crowing about this

But he is so afraid of the Trumpsters that he doesn't say it.

[localroger]

8. This explains why Pence was so adamant about not leaving the building

He knew exactly what the fuckers were up to. He wasn't guessing what they might do, he knew.

[gratuitous]

9. You can just hear the conspirators talking over their failure

"Who would have thought it? Mike Pence wasn't the gutless little toady we thought he was."

[BobTheSubgenius]

10. Are book sales enough of an incentive to admit something so bizarre???

Apparently so.

"Yeah, I know I willingly admitted to a felony, but my book sales have gone up nearly 7% since then!"

[George II]

12. If I was Pence, I would have put him on hold and walked away.

[maxrandb]

13. "Mike! The calls are coming from inside the house"

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Mike Pence hung up on Peter Navarro???

No wonder the crowd wanted to hang Mike Pence!

[Blue Owl]

15. Mother was listening in on the other line

[onenote]

16. How did Navarro think his plan would result in 24 hours of debate

The statute governing the electoral college vote is clear: each Senator and Representative may speak to such objection or question five minutes, and not more than once; but after such debate shall have lasted two hours it shall be the duty of the presiding officer of each House to put the main question without further debate.

Six states times two hours = 12 hours. And in the past, it was decided in advance that the two hours would be divided between the supporters and opponents of the objection, in which case the Democrats could have waived their time and shortened the debate to less than two hours.

17. Who is surprised by this?

Navarro is an idiot

[Carlitos Brigante]

18. This stooge reminds me of an old saying. It may not translate as well. But

basically he's the type of guy you have to slap at least once to get him to confess. But then have to slap like ten times to get him to stop confessing. He just can't seem to STFU. Fine by me.
