This is too much in the weeds he basically got bad advice on how close GA and Arizona really where and was told to stay in Florida and the Midwest a few more visits to both states and voter fraud or not he would have locked both down and then he could have just lived in the Midwest and PA and won the whole thing

This is a follow-up from this first installment in Mr. Byrne's report on what happened.

There is wide debate on whether or not this is true, fake, or something in the middle.

My assessment (not that anyone cares) is if you take Byrne's account and remove the self-aggrandized bits and his weakness for affinity-bias, you get a VERY compelling picture of what likely happened.

In short, to quote LS, this speaks to Trump's greatest weakness as a president, his personnel selection/vulnerability in his second echelon chain of command. In short, Trump put too much faith into a clearly feeble Rudy (who wasn't cut out for the job, and frankly looked on TV to be only few years behind Biden on the Pathway to "huh?") and an incompetent set of bureaucrats.

I understand completely the compulsion, especially at the Executive level, to put trust chiefly in the guys from the neighborhood. It happens all the time: in bands (Townshend didn't want to fire Moon - Daltrey did - even though he was a mess at the end) and sports (the Phillies stayed with their ace relief pitcher in the WS against Toronto even though the Blue Jays ate him alive) and corporations always see new C-suite people lay waste to existing management in favor of buddies. It's a thing.

Yes, there was a LOT of bad things that happened. But if this is even half-right, the enemy was also within.

Impressive how you read 20 mins of syntax in 2.5 mins, as well as the other 30 mins of preamble.

We don’t need this to demonstrate the enemy being within; that was proven after January 6 with the big secret “certification”.

Social engineering at its worst, letting them get past security. And Flynn should have known better than to have people drafting off him.

Someone will publish a book on what really happened. Either Sid Powell or Lin Wood, may before Trump does. Just author it as “anonymous”. I’m sure Miller or Pompeo, knew firsthand on what really happened, but I doubt they’ll spill.

One of the things that I learned from this four year experience is that the most important cabinet member is the Attorney General. Whoever it is must be loyal and competent.

I agree. Sometimes PDJT’s penchant for loyalty to friends, an admirable characteristic in my opinion, could act in his disfavor.

But he is not a tragic figure and never will be. That though seems to be the cut of Mr. Byrne’s jib. I disagree.

We will be seeing and hearing a lot more from President Trump in the future. And now there are many thousands if not millions of Trumps. He has become legion, and what Biden and Pelosi now do is assuring that will increase.

This fact was not mentioned by Mr. Byrne. A YUGE oversight.

Very interesting article. Thank you.

“Cipollone was being purely obstructionist.” Cipollone was not acting in logical or ethical ways.

Perhaps Trump decided to take a hike back to Florida. If true, then sad, since people around the world love and need Trump.

“I’m not sure,” I said, “but I hear people are getting signals that if they’re good boys and get you out the door, there will be jobs waiting for them. But if they don’t, they won’t be getting offers from the right law firms, they won’t be getting invitations from the right country clubs, they won’t be getting invited to the socialite parties on Manhattan…” Trump grimaced, and we moved on.

 

Boy did we find this out to be the truth!

Agreed 100%.

Fact is, Trump anticipated losing. Cankles was *supposed* to win in 2016. The forces behind Trump (candidate and POTUS) facilitated her not stealing the election then. For 4 years, they knew 2020 would be stolen. In the meantime, EO's were readied and plans made to allow the steal. There's low-level web "crumbs" of what to expect, disseminated to Patriots. Trump was NOT disappointed, as the DS did exactly as expected.

Evidence gathered, now it plays out.

Popcorn time. Great Awakening.

Some of this will be jarring, but necessary to prevent it happening EVER again.
