Due to the 2018 Executive Order by Trump calling for a national emergency per foreign influence on US elections, including the prediction of rigging via election software, I believe we are seeing one of two things. Either of which needs to be fully proven, and gallows built.
I believe that either Trump wrote that executive order as pre-work to challenge an election that he thought he would lose, as a soft political coup to retain office against the will of the constitutional system.
Or...
He and his Intel community saw voter fraud in the 2016 election, predicted massive fraud in the 2020 election, proclaimed a state of emergency and set up a sting to prove massive voter fraud and corruption in the US gov't. In effect he would have been allowing another attempted coup, but following it in real time via Military Intelligence to collect proof as it occurred.
If either is true, the guilty should be perp-walked to the gallows as a message what happens when you try to rob the people of their republic.
