Teh Crazie appears again at the top. This was tweeted yesterday:
BTW, not one of those statements is true. Be that as it may, connect teh crazie above with this from CNN:
President Donald Trump convened a heated meeting in the Oval Office on Friday, including lawyer Sidney Powell
and her client, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, two
people familiar with the matter said, describing a session that began as
an impromptu gathering but devolved and eventually broke out into
screaming matches at certain points as some of Trump's aides pushed back
on Powell and Flynn's more outrageous suggestions about overturning the
election.
Flynn had
suggested earlier this week that Trump could invoke martial law as part
of his efforts to overturn the election that he lost to President-elect
Joe Biden -- an idea that arose again during the meeting in the Oval
Office, one of the people said. It wasn't clear whether Trump endorsed
the idea, but others in the room forcefully pushed back and shot it
down.
Donald Trump discussed in the Oval Office using military force to overturn the election he lost.
The election is over. The Constitutional process leading up to Joe Biden's inauguration is underway. Any attempt to thwart this process is by definition unconstitutional.
How do we know the process is under way?
From the
Congressional Research Service:
November 4-December 14, 2020: Counting Popular Votes and Filing
Certificates of Ascertainment
Following election day, the states are to count and certify popular vote
results according to their respective statutory and procedural
requirements.When the states have completed their vote counts and ascertained
the official results, the U.S. Code (3 U.S.C. §6) requires the state governors
to prepare, “as soon as practicable,” documents known as Certificates of
Ascertainment of the vote. The certificates must list the names of the
electors chosen by the voters and the number of votes received in the popular
election results, also the names of all losing candidates for elector, and the
number of votes they received. Certificates of Ascertainment, which are often
signed by state governors, must carry the seal of the state. One copy is
forwarded to the Archivist of the United States (the Archivist), while six
duplicates of the Certificate of Ascertainment must be provided to the
electors by December 14, the date on which they meet.
And:
December 14, 2020: Electors Vote in Their States
Monday after the
second Wednesday in December of presidential election years is set (3 U.S.C.
§7) as the date on which the electors meet and vote. In 2020, the meeting is
on December 14. Electoral college delegations meet separately in their
respective states and the District of Columbia at places designated by their
state legislature. The electors vote by paper ballot, casting one ballot for
President and one for Vice President. The electors count the results and then
sign six certificates, each of which contains two lists, one of which includes
the electoral votes for the President, the other, electoral votes for the Vice
President, each of which includes the names of persons receiving votes and the
number of votes cast for them. These are known as Certificates of the Vote,
which the electors are required to sign. They then pair the six Certificates
of Ascertainment provided by the state governors with the Certificates of the
Vote, and sign, seal, and certify them (3 U.S.C. §§8-10). The six certificates
are then distributed by registered mail as follows: (1) one certificate to the
President of the U.S. Senate (the Vice President); (2) two certificates to the
secretary of state (or equivalent officer) of the state in which the electors
met; (3) two certificates to the Archivist; and (4) one certificate to the
judge of the U.S. district court of the district in which the electors met (3
U.S.C. §11).
All this has been
done. Biden's 306 and Trump's 232 electoral votes have been cast and the results
certified by each state and the District of Columbia. It's over.
All that's
left is this:
January 6, 2021: Joint Session of Congress to Count Electoral Votes and
Declare Election Results
Meets On January 6, or another date set by law, the Senate and House of
Representatives assemble at 1:00 p.m.in a joint session at the Capitol, in the
House chamber, to count the electoral votes and declare the results(3 U.S.C.
§15). The Vice President presides as President of the Senate. The Vice
President opens the certificates and presents them to four tellers, two from
each chamber. The tellers read and make a list of the returns. When the votes
have been ascertained and counted, the tellers transmit them to the Vice
President.If one of the tickets has received a majority of 270 or more
electoral votes, the Vice President announces the results, which “shall be
deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and
Vice President.”
Go back and look at what Felon Flynn suggested (and Donald Trump discussed). How does this not fit into
this definition of "Seditious Conspiracy":
If
two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put
down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to
levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or
by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the
United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of
the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be
fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or
both.
This can not be set aside after the inauguration. This must be pursued to the fullest extent of the law.
