The ‘Plot’ Thickens
They knew. They all knew.
Bill Barr.
Mark Meadows.
Ivanka.
Jared.
Rudy, who’s been drunk since the Mets won in 1969.
Mike Pence, the president’s* ‘yes’ man until he said ‘no.’
Even El Dumbo of Mar-A-Lago knew. They all knew that he had lost the election and yet they allowed the prion message of The Big Lie, which still is front and center today, festering and percolating like coffee on the stove at 5:45 AM.
The House Committee’s public hearings, in addition to exposing John Eastman as the Simon Bar Sinister behind the scenes who wrote up The Plan to upend the Constitution and keep the previous guy in power until he tore up the entire enterprise, is a reminder of the events of 50 years ago along with the testimony of Benjamin Ginsberg, another lawyer, who 22 years ago helped install a president, a man similarly ill-suited to the office.
Ginsberg, in his dotage, has become a ‘Never Trumper.’ Much like Schmidt, Steele, Nicole Wallace (coming soon to 9 pm T-F on MSNBC). Those of us who, much like you, were equally stupefied the normally very thorough Ms. Lofgren didn’t bring up the recount and SCOTUS decision in further detail. Ginsberg did bring it up on his own, in passing, comparing the smallest margin in the previous administration’s futile and really stupid attempts to ‘overturn’ the results and the infamous 537.
