This must never be allowed to happen again in this country - much less actually succeed.

Trump to declare martial law, and I doubt even that would have worked. The military and red state national guard units would have balked.

... and Putin's Whore would've declared marshal law.

The other theory was to get Pence to leave the capital complex and that would've stopped the electors being certified.

Pence was the lynchpin, when it was obvious Pence wasn't going along that's when Putin's Whore got desperate and sent the terrorist and their military buddies

end up in prison or worse if he didn't. Remember, this was Trump's plan, with help from his lackeys. It was bound to fail because he doesn't think things through and he lives in a delusional fantasy land.

Shouldn’t that have happened already? How many of Trump-era FBI hires are still in the ranks, and were they hired for reasons of loyalty to Trump? Given the infiltration of police forces across the nation by white supremacists, it’s logical to think that anti-government types and white supremacists have also infiltrated the FBI. I’m not old enough to remember the corruption of Hoover and the FBI under his leadership, but Hoover established an agency with a culture of being political. That was a long time ago, but culture changes slowly in an organization because it keeps affecting and being passed along to new hires.

I suppose I’m just suspicious of most people hired during Trump’s time in office because he favored corrupt people like himself.

At the absolute most, he could reasonably expect a "thanks for letting us know." They're not going to call him back and tell him the names of the guys involved, which group(s) they belong to, and what their investigation has turned up. Why on earth would they do that? He's not a law enforcement official.

investigating. They don't usually do a courtesy follow-up call to a whistleblower unless they need more info. Poor etiquette, but what do you expect from the G-Men?

of this/these investigation(s), I can't believe this is out of the realm of possibility. These snakes of 1/6 meant to overturn our democracy. Arms and/or military are ALWAYS involved in any coup. History proves it.

And just as an aside when Gen. Milley took that little stroll with TPOSFG on his biblical photo op, I got worried as to how many little fascist brownshirts and SS disguised as U.S. Military personnel saw that? And took a message out of that 'happening'???

They were attempting to cover all the bases with their plot.

It seems like there is a new conspiracy almost every day.
