From Death Threats to Lies
The American Mind ^ | 9/28/20 | Michael Anton

Posted on 09/28/2020 11:55:36 AM PDT by PoliticallyShort

Earlier this month, Michael Anton (a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute, and a former national security official in the Trump administration) published an article at the American Mind entitled “The Coming Coup?” in which he wondered aloud what the Democrats are up to with all their talk about “dragging Trump from the White House on January 20” and urging Biden not to concede “under any circumstances.”

All he did was quote their own words: the words of Democratic grandees such as Joe Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, and John Podesta; the words of two highly-placed Democratic former Army officers who urged the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to use the 82nd Airborne to remove the President; and the words of the now-notorious “Transition Integrity Project” (TIP) report, which promised, among other things, a “street fight” in the event of a Biden loss.

"The article went viral on the Right and in pro-Trump circles almost immediately. But the (so-called) mainstream media paid no attention, nor did anyone associated with the TIP. Then, suddenly, the plotters broke their silence. I don’t know what changed. Did the TIP leadership conclude that I had, by exposing their plans, damaged their chances of success? In reality, I exposed nothing. They had already exposed it all. All I did was summarize a plot hidden in plain sight." Anton explains how TIP’s caught-out coupsters epitomize ruling-class values in his latest post for the American Mind.
