Odd, I missed that, apologies. When it popped up, yours was the first unread post in this thread.
Though, upon reading, it is still not a conspiracy theory, just a thought on what could happen. I will agree with you that that is a very unlikely way of things turning out. I still wouldn’t be nearly as hostile in my method of pointing it out though. He never used the words “attack”, or “state property”, he just indicated a concern that the Trump admin would try something to disrupt the election, and gave interfering with the electors as a possibility.
Exactly, they had “legal cover.” That’s what I am talking about, when I say “following orders.” You even acknowledge that the “legal cover” is superficial at best. And the jury is still out on whether many of their actions were justified under their excuse of “legal cover.”
If Barr can make “legal cover” for something then that thing will be done, even if it is rather questionable. That we may be able to go back later and have the courts say that their actions were not legal does us little good at the time.
It’s exactly the sort of thing that works really well to get people to stop paying attention to what he is doing, to stop taking the threat seriously.
If you are saying that, if given the opportunity, Trump would turn down dictator for life, then I think that you are incredibly naive. If you are saying anything else, then it’s not remotely relevant.
We are heading to a constitutional crisis, which, by its very definition, means that words on a 250 year old parchment are no longer going to protect us, it will the actions of people still living that shape our future.
