The votes had not yet been counted in full and no network had called the election for Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51933\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Publicly Confesses to Coup Attempt in Tweet that Pence \u2018Could Have Overturned the Election\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Trump gang &#8211; including such familiar names as lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman, and Fox News host Mark Levin &#8211; was already hard at work to deny voters the president of their choice. What follows are some excerpts from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/04\/08\/politics\/donald-trump-jr-meadows-text\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the CNN story<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Two days after the 2020 presidential election, as votes were still being tallied, Donald Trump&#8217;s eldest son texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that &#8216;we have operational control&#8217; to ensure his father would get a second term, with Republican majorities in the US Senate and swing state legislatures, CNN has learned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the text, which has not been previously reported, Donald Trump Jr. lays out ideas for keeping his father in power by subverting the Electoral College process, according to the message reviewed by CNN. The text is among records obtained by the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The November 5 text message outlines a strategy that is nearly identical to what allies of the former President attempted to carry out in the months that followed. Trump Jr. makes specific reference to filing lawsuits and advocating recounts to prevent certain swing states from certifying their results, as well as having a handful of Republican state houses put forward slates of fake &#8216;Trump electors.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If all that failed, according to the Trump Jr. text, GOP lawmakers in Congress could simply vote to reinstall Trump as President on January 6.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have operational control Total leverage,&#8221; the message reads. &#8220;Moral High Ground POTUS must start 2nd term now.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;We either have a vote WE control and WE win OR it gets kicked to Congress 6 January 2021,&#8217; he texts Meadows.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The schemes put forth by Trump Jr way back on November 5, 2020, were all carried out &#8211; unsuccessfully &#8211; by Trump and his co-conspirators in the weeks and months that followed. His text provides more proof that the illegal attempts at staging a coup were contrived even before the votes were all tallied or the election results were officially determined.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51810\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Explains How He Plans to Steal the Next Election in Video Message to Republican Group<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That, however, didn&#8217;t stop these wannabe authoritarian conspirators.
