It was right beside an adult \u201cbook\u201d store.\u00a0\u00a0Later, there was another \u201csweaty\u201d press conference at the Washington headquarters of the Republican National Committee.\u00a0\u00a0He quoted from the movie\u00a0<em>My Cousin Vinnie<\/em>\u00a0with hair dye streaking down his face.\u00a0\u00a0And  there was his drunk witness\u00a0testifying to a friendly state legislative committee in Lansing, Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were scores of lawsuits, literally laughed out of court at every level, even the Supreme Court.  Texas&#8217;s Lt .Governor offered rewards for voter fraud. He had to pay off -for  fraudulent Trump votes.   It was all a &#8220;clown show\u201d, not to take seriously.  But like so much of the world around Donald Trump, while the clowns were stealing the show out front, something sinister was going on in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tears of a Clown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The signs were there soon after the election.  The \u201cvengeance\u201d tour:  firing various officers in the Executive Branch who earned Trump\u2019s ire prior to the election.  He removed the civilian leadership of the Defense Department and replaced them with folks whose main qualification was undying loyalty to Trump.  There was the drumbeat of the \u201cStop the Steal\u201d campaign, ginning up  \u201cmasses\u201d against the very foundation of America\u2019s democracy, free and fair elections.   Trump campaign fundraising generated even more millions.  That money was directed to mass demonstrations in Washington and across the country, demanding that the results of the election be overturned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there were all of those political leaders who refused to simply acknowledge the results. From McConnell and McCarthy to multiple state Governors, they couldn&#8217;t  say Biden won.\u00a0\u00a0What we didn\u2019t know, was in the background there was a \u201clegal theorist\u201d  creating a structure for denying the electoral will of the nation.\u00a0\u00a0The Trump strategists attempted to delay the final certification by Congress. They tried to build more pressure on the state Governors and legislators to ignore the actual votes, and give the election to Trump. If they only had more time \u2013 they thought \u2013 they could keep Donald Trump in the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Send in the Clowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even on January 6th there still were \u201cclowns\u201d up front.  Congressman Mo Brooks was calling on the crowd to \u201ckick ass\u201d.  He thought things might get crazy, so he wore \u201cbody armor\u201d just in case.  And Don Jr, Congressman Madison Cawthorn, and the head clown Giuliani himself was there, as well as the biggest clown of all,  President Donald Trump.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the \u201crealist\u201d in the bunch of speakers that day was lawyer John Eastman.  He was the author of the legal \u201cstructure\u201d to justify changing the outcome.  It was Eastman who wanted Vice President Pence to throw out the electoral votes from Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona.  And it was Eastman trying to persuade Senators to go along with his legal fantasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week the curtain is getting pulled back.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s being revealed that \u201cThe Insurrection\u201d was not simply a mob gone wild.\u00a0\u00a0There was a strategy with multiple options, all based on delaying the Congressional certification of the election.\u00a0\u00a0It was all about gaining time to gain momentum. One way or another, Donald Trump,would remain in the White House after the Inauguration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And before my more right-wing friends claim that I\u2019m pulling out my Foil Hat (not my clown wig), much of this section is also described in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/exclusive-jan-6-organizers-met-congress-white-house-1245289\/\">Rolling Stone article<\/a>\u00a0of October 24th<\/em> <em>and the book by Woodward and Costa &#8211; Peril.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clown Posse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There were multiple possibilities, but the \u201cprimary\u201d plan was Eastman&#8217;s.\u00a0\u00a0His legal brief stated that the Vice President had the Constitutional authority to accept or reject state electoral ballots.\u00a0\u00a0He, along with multiple Congressmen and a few Senators, hoped that when Trump-friendly House and Senate members objected to the electoral ballots from the pivotal states, Pence would reject those ballots outright. He then could accept \u201calternative\u201d ballots supporting Trump. Or he could reject all the ballots from those states, denying any Presidential candidate the 270 vote majority needed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That would throw the election into the \u201ctie-breaking\u201d House of Representatives.\u00a0\u00a0Rather than vote by Representative, the vote is taken by state, with a majority of states choosing the President.\u00a0\u00a0Since the minority Republicans controlled twenty-six state delegations,  Trump would remain  President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But should Pence be unwilling to take on such powers (Eastman was the only Constitutional lawyer proposing he had them) there was an alternative.\u00a0\u00a0If \u201cthe mob\u201d could postpone the Electoral certification, perhaps enough pressure could be put on the Republican governors of Georgia and Arizona to withdraw their electoral ballots. Or pressure could be exerted on the Republican legislatures of Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin to overturn their own election results.\u00a0\u00a0Either way, the resulting chaos might cause the election to end up in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Death of a  Clown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there was a final, \u201cnuclear\u201d option.\u00a0\u00a0If the Insurrection was so devastating that the Capitol remained occupied, then the President could turn to the US military to \u201cretake the building\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0Martial law could be declared and Congress prevented from acting.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s why the \u201cvengeance tour\u201d of the Pentagon was more than just getting back at Mark Esper and his crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  President Trump would order his new Acting Secretary of Defense to send in the 82nd Airborne or some such force to \u201cregain control\u201d, and his loyalists at Defense would do it.  And with the military now directly involved, who knows how that would end.  Coincidentally, pardoned felon Mike Flynn proposed a similar idea a few weeks before at a White House meeting. (<em>This was reported in January, and was the subject of an essay here, <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2020\/12\/21\/seven-days-in-december\/\">Seven Days in December<\/a><\/em>). And even more coincidentally, his brother, General Charles Flynn, was part of the Defense Department \u201ccommand team\u201d during the crisis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Generals, led by Chairman Milley, were particularly concerned about this possible use of active duty forces during the Presidential transition. It will be up to the House January 6th Committee to find the real story of the planning leading up to January 6th, and what was actually intended that day on the Mall when the mob was sent to the Capitol.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;One thing for sure \u2013 they weren\u2019t clowning around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody Loves a Clown It became the national joke.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAmerica\u2019s Mayor\u201d, Rudy Giuliani, held a press conference at the \u201cFour Seasons\u201d in Philadelphia.\u00a0\u00a0Not at the world famous hotel \u2013 but in the parking lot of a gardening center.
