The plot to overturn the election wasn’t a single orchestrated effort. I think it’s important for everyone to realize that. It was less like an orchestra and more like a three-ringed circus……with Trump as the demented ringmaster.
Let’s look at this subset of the schemes, which had a lot in common.
Rudy - Throw dozens and dozens of lawsuits at dozens of dozens of judges, in the hopes that eventually they’d find one that would issue a court order to block the transition of power. Even though he had failed miserably by January 6th, he still felt if he had 24 more hours the situation would turn around. Therefore he was encouraging Republican senators to stall.
Sidney Powell and Patrick Byrne- Drag out the January 6th congressional session for over 24 hours, allowing them to present with their evidence without media censorship. The evidence would be so overwhelming that everyone would agree to send in the National Guard to perform live-streamed vote recounts.
Peter Navarro - Drag out the January 6th session for over 24 hours with endless debates and presentations, the evidence would be so overwhelming that Mike Pence would reject the certificates and send them back to the states - who would then overthrow their votes
John Eastman- Pressure Mike Pence into refusing to count the votes from certain states, resulting in an EC tie, which would then go to the congressional state delegations. In this plan the only reason for dragging out the session would be to pressure Mike Pence.
While all these plans involved pressuring Mike Pence and having the Republican congress drag out the session, it still wasn’t a single orchestrated plan. Even as the session was proceeding, there wasn’t a consensus over which plan to use.
But that doesn’t negate the individual schemes, which should be vigorously prosecuted.
What I’ve been seeing lately is people brushing off the pile of smoking guns that incriminate all the Trump cronies in these plots because they are searching for some mythical smoking gun that cleans up all the contradictions and ties Trump to everything. Which they won’t find. They are making the same mistakes that they did with Russia, where they ended up tying everything to being able to prove that Trump personally and knowingly coordinated his campaign with the Russian government….which was the one thing they couldn’t prove.
