"The plan was simply this: We had over 100 congressmen and senators on Capitol Hill ready to implement the sweep. The sweep was simply that. We were gonna challenge the results of the election in the six battleground states. They were Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada. And basically these were the places where we believed that if the votes were sent back those battleground states and looked at again, that there would be enough concern amongst the legislatures that most or all of those states would decertify the election.

"That would throw the election to the House of Representatives. And I would say to you here, Ari, that all of this, again, was in the lanes, legally. It was prescribed by the Constitution. There is a provision to go – rather than through the Electoral College – to the House of Representatives. And all this required was peace and calm on Capitol Hill, and at 1 pm., Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and [Paul] Gosar, a representative started the Green Bay Sweep beautifully, challenging the results of Arizona."

Melber responded by noting the implications of such a plan and asked Navarro, “Do you realize you are describing a coup?”

“No. I totally reject many of your premises there,” he said, and claimed that the election was still in doubt. Navarro said the plan was constitutional. He also said that Georgia’s and Michigan’s secretaries of state were put into power by George Soros “for the express purpose of shifting the playing field to the Democrats.”

Later in the interview, Melber told Navarro,

We have an entire system designed to thwart – and I want to say this respectfully, but it’s the truth – people like you. To stop people like you who think that you can anoint yourself the reviewers of the voters, of the American people, of what they lawfully did, that you Trump the Supreme Court, no pun intended. People like you are what the Constitution [is] designed to stop, and it worked, and it did stop you

Navarro admitting to this bullshit is just amazing.
 
He also said that Georgia’s and Michigan’s secretaries of state were put into power by George Soros “for the express purpose of shifting the playing field to the Democrats.”

Not even Navarro really believes that.
 
He said that because he's ignorant of the Constitution and the electoral process which Navarro schooled him on.

Overturning a certified.election result ..if only there was a word for it
 
Seating Gore over Bush would not have led to the most serious constitutional crisis since the Civil War. Seating Trump over Biden would have.

They've done with every Republican President since Nixon.
 
Why is this a surprise to any of you? This was all laid out in detail in late December, if not before. There was even a plan to replace some of the Electors.


And some states have now passed laws enabling them to do just that.

Dems in Congress did not contest the legitimacy of the election of Nixon (twice), nor Reagan (twice), nor Bush I, nor Bush II's re-election. They did not even contest Trump in 2016.
 

That doesn't look like riot to me. That looks like taking a principled stand. There was absolutely nothing stopping anybody in Congress from doing exactly what they did unless I'm mistaken. I prepping for Recruit Training at the time, graduating high school. That kind of stuff so maybe I missed the riot. What I remember were hanging chads. I think not only was that worth looking into, but that it was oddly coincidental (though I do believe it was a consequence) that his brother happened to be governor of said state. I just think that requires too much looking ahead to be plausible. I'm also pretty sure Gore accepted his loss pretty quickly. Not months and months of audits.

And the FL SoS at the time was rewarded quite well for her efforts.

we know, but the fact he got called for it so openly in a tv interview was worth linking.

if they stand the test and don't get thrown out... can they be challenged, legally, on these moves? it could certainly come back to bite them should blue states play the same game in an election won by republicans. *sigh* democracy's fighting hard to breathe.
 
It was a crazy interview to watch, I did not expect it to go that way when I was watching it. The guy detailed the entire plan of how they planned to overturn the election, incriminated himself in a coup and acted as if he did nothing wrong.

Before Senator Barbara Boxer is accused of a coup

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/617556/

Boxer stood up for the rights of American to Vote!
No one… fucking NO ONE .., should have to stand in line for hours to vote
If you believe that’s fair? Fuck you
If you say the people in other states can’t complain about you disenfranchising voters? Fuck you
If you say there was fraud?
Prove it
Guiliani couldn’t !!
Recounts haven’t come close to proving “steal”

America is fucked!

There is a kind of widespread and persistent -- possibly willful -- moral blindness in play here.
 
navarro indicted, in custody
Trump White House aide Peter Navarro has been indicted by a grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress, according to court documents.

The contempt indictment stems from the former top trade official's refusal to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the assault on the Capitol that took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Navarro said earlier this week that he had received a subpoena from the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., to testify before a grand jury and to turn over records related to the Capitol assault.

Navarro, 72, is scheduled to make his first appearance in federal court Friday afternoon, after the indictment was unsealed Friday. He is already in custody, according to a source.
