Patrick Byrne: How DJT Lost the White House, Ch. 4
Deep Capture ^ | February 4, 2020 | Patrick Byrne

Posted on 02/05/2021 7:04:03 AM PST by KYEasternBlueBird

On the morning of January 6, Flynn and I and a dozen others walked over to the south side of the White House. We were surprised that no special arrangements had been made for us, and we had to fight our way through the throngs. We were both given speakers’ badges, seated in a special section up front…. then learned that our speaking slots had been cancelled. We were perplexed, to put it mildly, wondering whom they could get that would possibly explain the situation as well as we could…

“Yet, the left is still attempting to destroy him, his family and his business interests.”

That never will end. Never. If they don’t have PDJT or any other Trump to persecute and obsess over their lives have no meaning.

Agreed! I think that in the end...this all came down to not really understanding what you’re up against when dealing with the Deep State. If there is ever going to be another true “outsider” coming to WH the first thing you would see them do is....charge many many people (from both parties) with crimes against the US People. You need to go in an expect EVERYONE is corrupt and then slowly weed out the good from the bad. That would be the focus of any first term. Not tax cuts, not deregulations, not photo ops, fund raisers, etc.....all those come second from cleaning up house. The fact that NO ONE of significance ever got charged or arrested (except those close to Trump- what a coincidence) says that there was never a “Plan” from day one and certainly after the election. This is the history lesson learned from all of this debacle.

OK. I am not saying that I am in any position to advise Donald Trump. As a former Mensa membership chair, I’d estimate his IQ to be over 170.

But if he asked me, I’d say, but Flynn in charge of AZ, put Bannon in charge of Georgia, put Steve Cortez in charge of Wisconsin, etc. etc.

What makes this frustrating is that HE FULLY KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AS EARLY AS LAST MARCH. He probably knew it before that, but he was vocal about it since March or so.

Thinking that the crimes have to be committed then exposed— which is what Rudy and Trump knew, all along. Personally, from the practical reality of power and enforcement, it would have been better to assume Pence was NOT going to be a Constitutionalist (and all the while say he was being one- supporting and slavishly following an Act of Congress as if it was an Amendment to the Constitution- Namely the Electoral Count Act of 1887— designed by demonrats in the first place. Pence (if he was anything more than the coward he is) could have instructed, in every case (even if it could be shown he was biased— his job was intended to be biased by the Founders— to count a potential incoming opposition candidates votes— or not! Happened with Jefferson vs. Adams).

Then having assumed that— get ahead of the politics and the election itself by employing the military in what was clearly going to be the problem states. Enforce observation and empower the Legislatures to enforce their laws— admittedly they might not have.

Once the steal happened (and they watched it real time from a SCIF in Executive Office Building next to WH)— then institute Insurrection Act specific to the true COUNTING and prevent the Insurrectionists from managing a stolen election.

20/20 2o2o hindsight. Maybe it will be better the way it is being revealed, in real time with the degrading destruction of this country from the direct policies and actions of who the PEOPLE clearly did not vote into office, and his Communist slobbering power freak non-American VP. The population, and also 30% of black voters can see this clearly— what their former masters are trying to do to them again. Criminals.

Yes, the election was stolen.

Biden was installed by illegal means in six key states.

The political establishment either participated or was complicit in the whole scheme. They all know.

Your constitutional republic is finished.

A military/tech oligopoly is rising, aided by a burgeoning police state.

Good luck, my friend.

Thank you, friend. I absolutely agree with you. It was a pre-selection, not an election. Trump did not “lose” the White House, it was stolen via actual wide-spread fraud. I saw it too, on the night of Nov. 3, and in the following months.

Byrne’s article touched a nerve. It made me both angry and sick that nothing was done the steal, and that those who were closest to President Trump, who ought to have been advising him properly, were working against him.

I read it when it came out and was completely floored.

Yes, the Rudy question, as you noted, is the one that bothers me the most. I’ve been thinking about it since I read the article early this morning. But there are so many other problematic people and actions involved, that, you’re exactly right, it is going to take time to make better sense of how things went so wrong.

I am sorry for the late replies to all of these thoughtful posts... work intervened, and I’m just now able to get back to FreeRepublic.

I was so hopeful that there was a plan and that something was FINALLY going to happen to the professional criminals in the establishment. Then... nothing.

My affection for President Trump, for the movement that he began, and for the ideals represented in our founding documents hasn’t lessened a jot, but given the current state of affairs, I’m struggling not to let cynicism get the better of me.

My wife and I are taking some time to think about how we get involved in local and state-level politics and what we do next.

I’ve read some speculation in the comments on Byrne’s site that the “mediocrity” (referred to as a “her” in earlier chapters that Byrne wrote, and evidently quite the sensual scoundrel) is Jenna Ellis. Frankly, I have no idea, and I hope that it wasn’t her.

Byrne is a smart man and doesn’t suffer fools.

Point taken. I it was stolen. I agree with you.

The facts that you set out, would, in just about any other circumstance, be of real interest to real journalists. We know them, but the normies don’t and won’t be exposed to them. There are plenty of good researchers/reporters in the “citizen journalist” movement and in the new upstart outlets (RSBN, OAN, Epoch Times and others). The MSM is so mired in evil and corruption that they won’t even ask the Press Sec. a “real” question.

Too many of the people he brought in to his administration were just as swampy as those he complained about.

Yes. I pondered on that, as well. He was such a novice with DC politics. It seems.

It may simply be that after the Michael Cohen scandals, Trump felt he needed Rudi as his personal attorney because he trusted Rudi. It is quite apparent that Trump was surrounded by Swamp Creatures. Hopefully, if he somehow returns to the WH, he is taking this time to reflect on what went wrong, who betrayed him, and who simply didn't serve him well.

He was a witness to history, and he reported what he saw, and his impressions of events. He also doesn't appear to be profiting from his reporting. That is to be admired.

Well, he isn't in the WH either. That requires an explanation, and a solution. Shooting the messenger accomplishes nothing.

Leaders, whether Presidents, or managers, need that one special person with whom they can share the truth. And, they need to hear the truth from that special advisor. Yes, that explains why President Trump relied on Rudy. It just seems to me that Rudy did not apply the same standards of leadership to those who surrounded him.

The President can take some blame for that, but the vast majority of, at least how I’m reading events it, rests squarely on Rudy’s shoulders.

I don’t want to dwell too much on Byrne’s commentary (and I don’t want to bash Rudy), but therein, he spelled out clearly how “swampy” Rudy’s team was.

Going back to the Cohen affair, yes, I think that you are exactly right.

Gosh, it’s a sad state of affairs.

I’ve lurked here for over two decades, and the political commentary and astuteness of it (thank you for all that you wrote) has kept me coming back.

It was time for me to get off of the sidelines and get involved - and now, I’ve got to contribute to FR! I will. That’s a promise.

Wishing you and yours a peaceful Sunday.

It appears that McConnell and the Senate limited who Trump could appoint to important positions. They ended the filibuster for judicial nominees, but denied Trump the ability to make any recess appointments for anything. In retrospect, that is a strange thing to do to a president of the same party.

Yes, we all must get involved if we want things to change. I created this account as a small start to try to educate people and advocate for action. Something must be done.

Wishing you and yours a peaceful Sunday.

Thank you. You too!
