The conspiracy by Donald Trump to subvert the Constitution and fulfill his authoritarian aspirations has been well documented<\/a><\/strong> repeatedly for the past year. He lost more than sixty lawsuits seeking to overturn the election results because his lawyers couldn’t provide a shred of evidence to support their claims of fraud. And his StormTrumpers domestic terrorism on January 6th failed bully Congress into capitulating to Trump’s power mad demands.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

The evidence of Trump’s treasonous crimes was spelled out in a PowerPoint presentation<\/a><\/strong> circulated amongst the conspirators. Accomplices like Alex Jones admitted their complicity<\/a><\/strong> – and Trump’s also. And now one of Trump’s closest aides when he occupied the White House has come forward with yet another confession. According to The Daily Beast<\/em><\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“A former Trump White House official says he and right-wing provocateur Steve Bannon were actually behind the last-ditch coordinated effort by rogue Republicans in Congress to halt certification of the 2020 election results and keep President Donald Trump in power earlier this year, in a plan dubbed the ‘Green Bay Sweep.’<\/p>\n

“In his recently published memoir, Peter Navarro, then-President Donald Trump\u2019s trade adviser, details how he stayed in close contact with Bannon as they put the Green Bay Sweep in motion with help from members of Congress loyal to the cause.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Navarro’s account of his own participation in an attempted coup included details about how he coordinated with Republican members of Congress such as Rep. Paul Gosar and Sen. Ted Cruz. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. Navarro disclosed that…<\/p>\n

“‘We spent a lot of time lining up over 100 congressmen, including some senators. It started out perfectly. At 1 p.m., Gosar and Cruz did exactly what was expected of them,’ Navarro told The Daily Beast. ‘It was a perfect plan. And it all predicated on peace and calm on Capitol Hill. We didn\u2019t even need any protestors, because we had over 100 congressmen committed to it.'” […]<\/p>\n

“[T]heir hope was to run the clock as long as possible to increase public pressure on then-Vice President Mike Pence to send the electoral votes back to six contested states, where Republican-led legislatures could try to overturn the results. And in their mind, ramping up pressure on Pence would require media coverage.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Navarro’s “perfect plan”<\/em> was to orchestrate a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’ ceremonial duty to certify the election results, followed by having partisan state legislatures defy the will of voters by coronating Trump. And Navarro even affirmed Trump’s guilt in the plot, saying that he “was certainly on board with the strategy,,<\/em> and noting that Trump referenced the plan during his January 6th speech when he told the crowd that “I hope Mike is going to do the right thing [and] send it back to the states to recertify.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Navarro lamely attempted to distance himself from the violence that occurred on January 6th, but given the make up of the mob of rioters, and their connections to the plotters, that is just after the fact excuse making. It was Trump who ordered his minions to march on the Capitol.<\/p>\n

As confirmation of Navarro’s media coverage strategy, he appeared on Fox News<\/a><\/strong> three days before the Trump insurrection on Capitol Hill executing that strategy. He and Fox’s Jeanine Pirro discussed the seditious plot that Navarro is now conceding took place:<\/p>\n

Navarro:<\/strong> They stole this. We can prove it. And other things\u2026 Breaking news: I would not be surprised to see a special counsel on this. And Vice-President Pence, he has the authority to give that ten day window to do what needs to get done, and I cannot imagine when you look at the facts he won\u2019t vote the right way on that.
\nPirro:<\/strong> And you know Peter, the interesting thing is that ten day window, it is something that they can change the date. January 20th cannot be changed. That\u2019s constitutional. But this whole certification, the date can be changed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Setting aside the fact that they are completely wrong on the law, we now have contemporaneous confirmation of the coup plot as it was being carried out. We know that Trump was on board. So was Fox News. And so were many Republican members of Congress. And we know that Trump is still trying to pull off the plan. He’s still telling the “Big Lie”<\/em> that the election was “rigged.”<\/em> And he’s still trying to manipulate the media to achieve his nefarious ends.<\/p>\n

Trump has even scheduled a press conference on the anniversary of the January 6th insurrection<\/a><\/strong> in order to advance his despotic desires. What we don’t know – despite the abundant evidence and open admissions – is when he and his accomplices will be brought to justice.<\/p>\n
