CNN Exclusive: 'We control them all': Donald Trump Jr. texted Meadows ideas for overturning 2020 election before it was called

Washington (CNN)Two days after the 2020 presidential election, as votes were still being tallied, Donald Trump's eldest son texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that "we have operational control" to ensure his father would get a second term, with Republican majorities in the US Senate and swing state legislatures, CNN has learned.

In the text, which has not been previously reported, Donald Trump Jr. lays out ideas for keeping his father in power by subverting the Electoral College process, according to the message reviewed by CNN. The text is among records obtained by the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021.

"It's very simple," Trump Jr. texted to Meadows on November 5, adding later in the same missive: "We have multiple paths We control them all."

In a statement to CNN, Trump Jr.'s lawyer Alan S. Futerfas said, "After the election, Don received numerous messages from supporters and others. Given the date, this message likely originated from someone else and was forwarded."

Immediately before his text to Meadows describing multiple paths for challenging the election, Trump Jr. texted Meadows the following: "This is what we need to do please read it and please get it to everyone that needs to see it because I'm not sure we're doing it.".........................................................

“It’s very simple. We have multiple paths. We control them all. We have operational control. Total leverage. Moral high ground. POTUS must start second term now.” - Junior’s text to Mark Meadows leading up to J6.

1. Yet, all paths failed. Two days after 2020 election, lots of people were claiming

trump would win.

If I remember, both CNN and MSNBC commentators were talking about each candidate’s “paths to victory.”

As much as I’d like to see Junior behind bars, no jury would convict him for talking about “paths to victory” two days after election.

2. I know one thing for sure: Junior has no clue what "moral high ground" means or what it is

5. I know people think that a jury wouldn't convict, but anything is possible. Proof: Trump elected...

he is NOT IN JAIL YET...........

You never know what a jury will decide after the end of a long drawn out trial.

Junior belongs in jail too Maybe the two can spend some time in the same federal jail.
