Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows turned over to the House select committee investigating the 6 January Capitol attack a PowerPoint recommending Donald Trump to declare a national security emergency in order to return himself to the presidency.
The fact that Meadows was in possession of a PowerPoint the day before the Capitol attack that detailed ways to stage a coup suggests he was at least aware of efforts by Trump and his allies to stop Joe Biden’s certification from taking place on 6 January.
The PowerPoint, titled “Election Fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 Jan”, made several recommendations for Trump to pursue in order to retain the presidency for a second term on the basis of lies and debunked conspiracies about widespread election fraud.
Meadows turned over a version of the PowerPoint presentation that he received in an email and spanned 38 pages, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Senators and members of Congress should first be briefed about foreign interference, the PowerPoint said, at which point Trump could declare a national emergency, declare all electronic voting invalid, and ask Congress to agree on a constitutionally acceptable remedy.
The PowerPoint also outlined three options for then vice-president Mike Pence to abuse his largely ceremonial role at the joint session of Congress on 6 January, when Biden was to be certified president, and unilaterally return Trump to the White House.
Pence could pursue one of three options, the PowerPoint said: seat Trump slates of electors over the objections of Democrats in key states, reject the Biden slates of electors, or delay the certification to allow for a “vetting” and counting of only “legal paper ballots”.

The Guardian is full of CNN.
I knew everyone was aware of the LEGAL options.
I’m only upset that they weren’t followed.
Who made this PowerPoint?
Just asking cause they are dumb as a box of rocks
The coup had already occurred.
One I doubt it and two contingency plans are created for all kinds of possible scenarios.
They report on fake coup and ignore the real coup attempt (Russia, Russia, Russia) that almost succeeded.
Hillary and her friends in the DOJ and FBI tried to remove a sitting President based on a fake document. They are the ones that need to be investigated.
Who wrote the PPT? ANYONE could have done it, doesn’t mean TRUMP had anything to do with. False flag for all I know.
Meadows is stupid if he acknowledged it.
RICO
OMG! "Ask Congress"??
A definite coup!
If a coup finally happens, nobody in power will be asking Congress anything.
Besides, the hearing is in anticipation of Trump running again, so it is all-out smear campaign. Watch CNN, MSNBC scream about “the evidence of a coup.”
Jan 6 = Change the Subject
Dementia Joe is a failed resident.
Well someone needs to turn themselves into the fbi.
Nelson -> Ha Ha
So what?!?! Seriously.
Wonderful how we have moved from an investigation of the Capitol riot to a “anything Trump did was a coup.”
Still waiting for that Russian Collusion.
In other news,,,
Trump can’t swim !!!
( he was seen walking on water)
I smell an Adam shifty ploy.
.
Sounds like a “let’s do lunch” result....and nothing more. Certainly no violence intended...not even a tad.
Do we know who authored it? Do we know if it was a solicited or unsolicited email?
I get junk email all the time. I don't want any commission drawing conclusions about my health based on emails found on my computer.

Seems like that is a case study for the War College....
What ifs....
