(13,524 posts)Trump demanded someone in the White House or among his advisers (maybe Flynn) to come up with a plan for stealing the election. The coup was the last resort when all the lawsuits failed and the Supreme Court refused to rescue him. His lawyers most likely knew all along that all the court cases would fail because there was no evidence of fraud.
Trump fired Esper on November 9, so he knew he was losing and put his people in the Pentagon. Chris Miller replaced Esper and most likely started working on military chiefs to support a coup. Thats why the 10 former defense secretaries wrote to publicly warn against using the military. Miller was able to use his position, though, to prevent the National Guard from supporting the Capitol Police initially to give the terrorists time to storm the Capitol.
So my question is, who planned this coup for Trump and who collaborated? Several people need to be investigated and charged with treason. This coup attempt was not just a spontaneous riot, though it was made to appear that way.
