believe their folks are taking over soon and they just have to stall long enough, etc.

I dont want that to happen, but I think they are relying on it.

Though DOJ will remain in democratic hands for at least another 2.5 years no matter what happens to Congress in November

But I believe in November the red states are going to refuse to certify elections they lose try and take over the house and there will be chaos and that’s what they’re counting on

Why would you continue to proceed down a path that was certainly illegal, and with miniscule chance of success? Why not just stay silent?

I think Putin has kompromat.

So their choices were:

1) Support a coup, and it succeeds. Their reputations/power/wealth remain intact
2) Support a coup, and it fails. They may go to jail, or be persona non-grata in the political realm for a while.
3) Don't support a coup, and Russia comes forward with the stuff, and be really dismissed from all society, and face possible legal ramifications

There is only 1 option where they face no consequenses.

I think this kompromat thing is possible because Lindsey turned so incredibly fast from a Trump basher in 2016 to a Trump supporter shortly thereafter.
