undercuts the defense of a rally just getting out of hand, and this was revealed by furtive texts from trump s own aides. potus is going to have us march there/the capitol. potus is going to caller fit unexpectedly. it was planned, so it was expected. that text shows how donald trump was cooking up a lie to make it look spontaneous. that s also bad because it shows some of trump s intent by hiding it in advance and that the whole march was what trump turned to after a grave meet that was plotting a military role in a coup in the united states to take over your country, democracy and government. this is heavy stuff. this was also part of what was documented today, where some of trump s most extreme plotters pushed for him to abuse pow we are an illegal order to seize voting machines. his team of outside advisers paid him a surprise visit. they proposed the immediate mass seizure of state election machines by the u.s. military. it got to the point where the screaming wa
doing my job, and you ll get the same question. in fairness to donald trump and others in the white house, based on where it landed today, where it stopped, isn t it also fair to get a reading potential will i that rock n roller stone is a long time blow hard? that these people you were embedded with were largely doing it on their own in response to public messaging? and as of now the evidence hasn t landed the link. it hasn t landed the link. i ll give you that much. if you look at roger stone s pass behavior this is the same thing he did in the bush/gore with the brooks brother riot. he was organizing that. he was at the center of the russian trump election scandal in 2016. he is the primary adviser to donald trump. donald trump knows nothing about politics. it s roger stone that brought him into it. it s roger stone that encouraged him to run for president and

get out of jail card free. and that s what he did here. and i think it s so obvious that this is a prime case, if the supreme court is really going to make the appointments clause of the u.s. constitution mean something and interpret it in terms of the succession law for the department of justice, this is the case. well, we welcome the range of debate and views here. i think we got some of them. nick ackerman, always a pleasure. next time, as they say on passover, next time in florida. that s not what they say. guy lewis, thank you as well. coming back up, we go back to the florida fight. gop dirty tricks. roger stone in the 2000 recount. i ve got a democratic official who saw that brooks brothers riot firsthand.
