4. Sure they see it happening

But right now, it's too soon to tell whether the election subversion efforts will fail or succeed. If they fail, then these intrepid journalists can sell lots of books with all the breathless details of what they saw happening. That's money in their pockets, and a sure way to get invitations to go on teevee and tell everyone some of the juicier things they were privy to (but never quite saw their way clear to reporting on for their day jobs).

If the election subversion efforts succeed, then it's best to just keep your mouth shut and pay court to the fakers and the mountebanks who successfully broke the system.
