The former officers claimed Trump "is actively subverting our electoral system, threatening to remain in office in defiance of our Constitution."
They said he is facing "near certain electoral defeat" along with "criminal charges" once he is no longer in office.

This is the 12th Amendment and it says no such thing.
Amendment XXII (1951)
Section 1.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Look for both of them to be awarded contracts by MSDNC or XiNN immediately.
Trump should have booted the fat asses to the street minute one....anyone promoted under the toon or bammy should have been shown the door.....
our only hope is that the loyal patriotic officer corp will NOT participate in any treason...
How QUAINT!
Sounds like a lot of big talk from two loudmouths. It reminds me of the Hollywood actor who made the mistake of bragging publicly that if he had been on one of the highjacked planes on 9/11, he singlehandedly would have finished off the five terrorists. Sure. He recanted, after spending a few days being the laughingstock of America.
Think senatorial can’t-i-date margabby kelleygiffords. What a disgrace to the oath and uniform.
This is a good example of who the military will support in a shtf situation.
Wow. Just wow.
God, I continue to ask that You not only allow POTUS a second term, which I believe you showed me in a dream months ago, but that you protect him from these evil people. In Jesus Name, Amen.
You may get and AMEN! :-)
Fair enough. Here’s a question: When it says that the HOR has to go into session immediately if no Electoral College majority happens, do they do so BEFORE or AFTER the new Representatives are sworn in?
Do you get my drift?
I determined almost 45 years ago when I was on acttive duty, that almost all field grade (O-4) and above (and more than a few junior officers) were office politicians who cared more about their careers than accomplishing the mission, or the welfare of their people.
Semper Fi!
These former military $hitstains are going to cry their treasonous beady eyes out when President Trump is re-elected by a huge margin.
Umm...That's the Twenty-Second Amendment. XXII is twenty-two in Roman Numeral. Twelve is XII in Roman Numerals.
Here's the Twelfth Amendment:
[Article XII] (Amendment 12 - Election of President)
The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;—The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;—The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.14 —The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice. But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.
Emphasis added, a wall of text because that's the way it's written.
All deep staters paid by Soros.
What evidence do these jerks allege to prove Trump will refuse to leave office if he loses in a fair election?
I guess the Dems plan to say that a Trump/Pence win in the Electoral College vote per the Constitution, is invalid, because it produced disparate racial/gender results. When Trump calls BS, he will be “refusing to leave the WH”.
Memo from strozk and page.
If Trump loses he will be out of the White House in hours.
I imagine as a real estate guy, the White House is not his style. I imagine Melania cannot wait to get out. Barron probably hates it too.
I just cannot imagine he would waste a lot of time hanging out there.
Once it’s done, it’s done.
I expect to hear all kinds of stories like this that have one purpose only and that to sway votes away from Trump. Aint gonna happen. Everyone thats watched the hate politics of the radical liberal left for even a short time (me since 2016 especially) will vote R no matter what. My prediction is Trump wins by one of the biggest margins in history.
The 12th Amendment answers my question on how Pelosi and Schumer can delay the election. Prevent a quorum in both Houses for voting the President and Vice President.
