Publisher's Synopsis
On November 3, 2020, FOX News set off a chain of events that nearly ended Democracy in the U. S. FOX called Arizona for Biden. Rudy Giuliani prodded Trump to claim victory preemptively. Trump, Giuliani and Stephen Bannon designed a scheme to use forged State Electors' Certificates to send the election back to the States for a redo.
Former corrupt DOJ Head of Civil conducted a plan with Trump to inform battleground States that voted for Biden that the FBI was investigating the 2020 election for fraud and that the States should withdraw Certification of Biden as winner. At a showdown meeting top DOJ officials and White House Counsel threatened to resign. Trump dropped his plan to make Clark Acting Attorney General. The plotters would use forged State Electors' Certificates instead. On January 6, 2021, President Trump harangued the Mob at the Ellipse near the White House. He would not accept that he lost the election to Joe Biden on November 3, 2000.The conspirators enlisted the aid of constitutional lawyer John C. Eastman to provide technical and legal support to steal the election. They worked on Vice President Mike Pence who had the duty under the Constitution to announce the State Electors' vote. Trump and Eastman coached Pence for hours on how easy it would be to send the Certificates back to the States for reconsideration. Pence refused to go along with the illegal scheme. Trump told the Mob to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol to stop the Joint Session of Congress from reading the State Certificates of Electors' votes and confirming the election of Joe Biden. Trump told the Mob to fight twenty-two times. "You cannot be weak if you want to take your country back" he said. The President questioned Mike Pence's loyalty to the scheme. The Mob shouted, "Hang Mike Pence" and erected a makeshift gallows at the Capitol. Things were cascading out of control. The Mob fought the Capitol and Metropolitan D. C. Police for more than three hours and stormed the Capitol. At the Joint Session, one hundred thirty-eight Members were prepared to object to Certifications of Biden's win from Arizona and Pennsylvania. Senator and Pastor James Lankford (R-PA) had the floor and was about to move that the Congress pause the Electoral Vote Count for ten days to allow States to reconsider their Certifications. It is not known who put Lankford up to the dastardly deed but Senators John Barrasso, Conference Chair, and John Thune, second in leadership, are suspects. Before Senator Lankford could utter the word pause, the Chair of the Joint Session blurted out, "We are adjourned at the call of the Chair", and the Congress fled to the interior exits to avoid the Mob which had control of the exterior exits. Six hours later, law and order returned as did the Congress. Senator Lankford resumed the floor and had an Epiphany. There was no longer a need for a pause, he noted, Joe Biden is President. Six hours of fascism convinced Lankford that regular order in a Democracy was preferable to Trump's forged State Electors' Certificates scheme. Trump's Trade Advisor Peter Navarro referred to the forged Electors' Certificates scheme as the "Green Bay Sweep" which he maintains was lawful. On January 13, 2022, the U. S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of Elmer Stewart Rhodes on a superseding indictment for seditious conspiracy. Rhodes is the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers, a paramilitary militia pledged to authoritarianism. Rhodes' arrest is a signal that DOJ is moving up the food chain and is ready to take on the Trump gang. Seditious conspiracy carries a penalty of twenty years upon conviction. There will be pressure on Trump gang members to cooperate to qualify for a reduction of charges and a lesser sentence. Who will be first to tell the truth?
