How many of the GOP House and Senate knew this was going to happen? How many of the challengers? [View all]

How many of the "freedom caucus" and the other extremist GOP had prior knowledge of something going down on the day? How many collaborated to help in it happening?

Maybe they didn't have all the details but they must have known about some of the intended results. The confidence they showed when they continued to challenge the count showed that IMO. They were expecting something to help tilt the table towards the racist insurrection they now own.

If the wife of a Supreme Court Justice was in on the deal there had to be more insiders who were betting they could win the day or at least establish the new "Lost Cause" with a big propaganda victory.

Putin's, or should I say the FSB (formerly KGB) networks are like that. They depend on insiders with access and privileges to defend.
