The NYT story that ran 1/31/21, had 7 journalist’s names on the byline, and gave the run-down on the “77 Days to Subvert the Election”: the dates & events that Donald Trump set in motion in his attempts to sow doubt on the legitimacy of the election processes, to bring bogus-lawsuits in courts, to push conspiracy-theories and to use others to conspire with him, to abuse his power of office to bully election & government officials & legislators, to promote wildly-false narratives in order to encourage contributions to fund his so-called legal arguments & to bribe organizers on his behalf, to influence his followers to believe that V.P. Pence could do otherwise than just ceremonially-announce states’ certified counts; and when all previous onslaughts failed, he sought to inflame & incite the assembled crowd to perpetrate an insurrectionary-attack on our Capitol, in order to subvert our democracy and overthrow the peaceful transfer of power, the established 224 year precedent. The incitement didn’t begin on Jan 6; it culminated on that date. Tens of thousands of Trump-followers traveled to, some bused into, D.C. for the express-purpose of “taking their country back”! That rhetoric had been used for weeks leading-up to Trump’s Jan 6th rally, “The March to Save America”. He said, “Be a part of history!” His followers answered, “We heard your call; we’re here for you!” Trump invoked, “You’ll NEVER take back our country with weakness!” It was Trump’s plan, his coup; he helped arrange & orchestrate it, and finally whipped it into the crescendo we witnessed: “American Carnage”, just as he prophesied, “It will be WILD!”
Trump basically forced DOJ, Bill Barr to resign; then Trump plotted behind the back of Acting Atty Gen, Jeffrey A. Rosen, with Acting Civil Division Chief, Jeffrey Clark & Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry, to threaten investigations, to pressure Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to invalidate his state’s results, in order to force a new lawsuit to SCOTUS, challenging the entire election. Trump replaced top officials at the Pentagon; then refused for hours to deploy National Guard to protect our Congress during his attempted coup. Trump, the megaphone behind the murderous-hoards, excitedly watched on TV, scenes of violence from the Capitol. Trump’s ULTIMATE betrayal of his Oath of Office to Protect & Defend our country & our Constitution is OUTRAGEOUS, and can only be healed by Trump’s conviction & disqualification to ever run again for any American office! We should NEVER have to endure this HELL again!

Conviction & Disqualification is the only acceptable outcome! Trump orchestrated the coup!
