Two days after the 2020 presidential election, as votes were still being tallied, Donald Trumps eldest son texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that we have operational control to ensure his father would get a second term, with Republican majorities in the US Senate and swing state legislatures, CNN has learned.
In the text, which has not been previously reported, Donald Trump Jr. lays out ideas for keeping his father in power by subverting the Electoral College process, according to the message reviewed by CNN. The text is among records obtained by the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021.
Its very simple, Trump Jr. texted to Meadows on November 5, adding later in the same missive: We have multiple paths We control them all.
In a statement to CNN, Trump Jr.s lawyer Alan S. Futerfas said, After the election, Don received numerous messages from supporters and others. Given the date, this message likely originated from someone else and was forwarded.

People who are on a run on cocaine typically get grandiose and arrogant before they get all paranoid.
They do have SUD treatment in Prison though, so maybe he can take advantage.
