Trump Jr. Texts Show 'Coup Was the Plan' From the Start, Legal Experts Say

Some legal experts contend that newly reported text message sent from Donald Trump Jr. to former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows demonstrate that the former president and his allies were planning a "coup" from the start—even before votes were fully counted in the 2020 election.

CNN first reported on Friday that Trump Jr. sent a November 5, 2020 text message to Meadows which said: "It's very simple ... We have multiple paths We control them all." The former president's son reportedly laid out plans to subvert the Electoral College process and keep his father, former President Donald Trump, in the White House. Notably, that message was sent just two days after the election—before the results were finalized and as many states continued to count ballots.

Trump Jr.'s attorney Alan S. Futerfas told CNN that the message was most likely forwarded. "After the election, Don received numerous messages from supporters and others. Given the date, this message likely originated from someone else and was forwarded," he said.

But Trump critics and some legal experts jumped on the reporting, arguing it was more evidence of a "coup" attempt.

of a government or an old fashioned Revolution never consider what happens if it all fails.

In the good old days, there would be public executions of the traitors.
Just to demonstrate what a bad idea that sort of thing is.



"After a brief trial, Guy Fawkes was sentenced, along with the other surviving chief conspirators, to be hanged, drawn, and quartered in London. On January 30, 1606, the gruesome public executions began in London, and on January 31 Fawkes was called to meet his fate."

I'm still waiting . . .

Hypothetically, if someone threatened to assassinate Joe Biden and Trump Junior forwarded it to his many cult followers, then he'd be complicit in that scenario as well.
