Yesterday, this web site, together with many others, reported the explosive information that CNN was in possession of a textual content that Don Jr. despatched Mark Meadows, one despatched on November fifth, 2020, two days after the election, the identical day it grew to become obvious that Joe Biden gained the election. Don Jr.’s textual content basically outlined the plans that the Trumps would use to maintain the White Home. Don Jr.’s clairvoyance is gorgeous. He outlined precisely what was to come back. His textual content additionally tacitly admits one thing that Trump himself rejects to at the present time. They misplaced the election.
Some language from the textual content from CNN:
“It’s quite simple. Now we have a number of paths We management all of them.”
The phrase “management” is crucial. The Trumps don’t management the result of recounts, not actual recounts. The Trumps don’t management courtroom instances, not actual courtroom instances. “Management,” implies motion exterior lawful means to display they gained the election.
The message went on to put out a wide range of choices that Mr. Trump or his allies finally employed in making an attempt to overturn the outcomes of the election, from authorized challenges to selling various slates of electors to focusing efforts on the statutory date of Jan. 6 for certification of the Electoral School outcomes.
The truth that Donald Trump Junior talked about various state electors exposes Junior to devastating authorized penalties. Junior’s lawyer, Alan Futerfas, would, after all, comprehend it. Futerfas mentioned that given the date and what the textual content contained, it was doubtless a textual content that Junior forwarded to Meadows. That is considerably absurd as a result of; A) The phrase “We” appears considerably operative, B) Junior certainly is aware of for a truth whether or not he was forwarding a textual content and he would certainly bear in mind who initially despatched it if it was forwarded – however Futerfas doesn’t say such and C) It couldn’t matter much less if it was forwarded. Junior reviewed the textual content and forwarded it to Meadows. It comes with Junior’s imprimatur of approval.
From one other part, once more, have a look at the significance of the phrase “management”:
We both have a vote WE management and WE win OR it will get kicked to Congress 6 January 2021,”
Clearly, till the Trumps got here alongside, January sixth was an entirely ceremonial day. Al Gore simply gaveled down the few murmurs of dissent when he oversaw the counting of the Florida electoral votes. Joe Biden did the identical when there was concern about Russian interference. Junior checked out January sixth as significant, a day to “win.”
In essentially the most telling clause, Junior writes: “Now we have operational management Whole leverage. Ethical Excessive Floor POTUS should begin 2nd time period now.”
The main focus is on the facility of the presidency. Operational management and – an important phrase in all the textual content – in my view – “leverage.” The Trumps have leverage. The Trumps wouldn’t be the place they’re on the earth as a household with out “leverage,” whether or not utilized in enterprise or politics. Leverage is synonymous with threats, or at the very least the facility to steer an final result.
However the textual content makes no reference to the vote being rigged. Nowhere does the textual content say that there was apparent voter fraud. Nowhere does Junior declare that they gained the states they misplaced and so they simply must display they’ve the votes. Nowhere does he say they gained the election and it was rigged.
No, the whole thing of the textual content, taken as an entire, have to be learn with the Trump household understanding that the vote, the election itself, the loss, isn’t an obstacle. They’ve leverage. They’ve management. Attending to January twentieth is an “operation,” and so they may even simply assign their very own electors instead of the votes they didn’t have.
The textual content reveals a number of the most important data – with respect to proof of all that was to come back – by what it doesn’t say. Nowhere does it say, “We beat this man. There is no such thing as a approach he obtained extra votes. Let’s discover the fraud on the market now and show it.” The actual fact that January sixth was talked about signifies that the precise vote depend didn’t matter. That they had leverage, that they had management. They had been in energy, and so they weren’t giving it up. That they had plans in case this occurred.
Telling. It wasn’t rigged. They knew they misplaced. It simply didn’t matter.
