Malcolm Nance just made a chilling point.

86. He's the figurehead with plausible deniability. All they need to do is tell him they have a plan.

Don't need to tell him the plan, don't need to go into details, just tell him - we got some people who will work to keep you in power, or contest to invalidate the electors count, and we can give you time for the courts to throw out the election and you can have your next term.

Flynn, Don Jr., Manafort, Guliani and his misfit band of toy revolutionaries, Miller, Hannity and the media enablers, and who knows how many other lackeys who Trump put in "acting" or advisory positions within the Administration - and Congress.
Like Mob bosses, they plan in "code words" - "I know a guy who likes to organize this sort of thing, maybe we should ask him how to avoid bad things from happening?", "What would we need to do to keep this thing from happening?"...

Which does tend to put big gaps in planning if everyone is just a fellow traveller trying to avoid any evidence of conspiracy. This isn't planning something that was business as usual, like hijacking, mob hits, extortion or blackmail, etc...this is planning the overthrow of a large democratic government.
