3. She described, hilariously, how Trump wanted Lewandowski (then a private citizen)

to deliver a message to Session containing a speech Sessions was to give, which Trump dictated to Lewandowski, and if didn't do it, Lewandowski was supposed to fire Sessions.

The President then asked Lewandowski to deliver a message to Sessions and said “write this down.” This was the first time the President had asked Lewandowski to take dictation, and Lewandowski wrote as fast as possible to make sure he captured the content correctly.

The President directed that Sessions should give a speech publicly announcing:

"I know that I recused myself from certain things having to do with specific areas. But our POTUS ... is being treated very unfairly. He shouldn’t have a Special Prosecutor/Counsel b/c he hasn’t done anything wrong. I was on the campaign w/ him for nine months, there were no Russians involved with him. I know it for a fact b/c I was there. He didn’t do anything wrong except he ran the greatest campaign in American history."

The dictated message went on to state that Sessions would meet with the Special Counsel to limit his jurisdiction to future election interference:

"Now a group of people want to subvert the Constitution of the United States. I am going to meet with the Special Prosecutor to explain this is very unfair and let the Special Prosecutor move forward with investigating election meddling for future elections so that nothing can happen in future elections..." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/04/18/us/politics/mueller-report-document.html#g-page-302

She also described that if Trump is selected again he will go free of all charges. Alternatively, I don't see impeachment working. I just don't!

Stealing an election has worked before. You can bet all efforts will be thrown to make sure he is selected again to keep his sorry ass from charges

On edit: They don't care anymore who knows or how obvious it is that a election was ripped. What the fuck are we going to do about it anyway?
