Big pro-authoritarian energy in Trumpland today:

The president's (recently pardoned) former national security adviser, Mike Flynn, shared a message encouraging President Trump to "temporarily suspend the Constitution," impose martial law and "silence the destructive media." pic.twitter.com/cQh0wl7oWw

Это сообщество начиналось с сообщения под названием Генерал Флинн. Сага с Флинном - от его увольнения до уголовного обвинения до неуклюжей попытки отмазать его - закончилась президентским помилованием.

A federal judge dismissed Michael Flynn’s prosecution Tuesday after President Trump’s pardon, but said the act of clemency does not mean the former national security adviser is innocent of lying to FBI agents about his talks with the Russian government before Trump took office.
In formally ending Flynn’s three-year legal saga, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said he probably would have denied the Justice Department’s controversial effort this year to drop the case, which Democrats and many legal experts said appeared to be an attempt by Attorney General William P. Barr to bend the rule of law to help a Trump ally.

Помимо докатившегося до дна Эрика Метаксаса, представление на выходных станет целым парадом MAGA-шарлатанов: Келли Кулберг, Элис Батлер-Шорт, Suzzanne Monk и т.п.

Но там же - руководители «теневой сети» Council for National Policy. Руководители CNP и многочисленных аффилированных право-христианских организаций ныне открыто призывают к ползучему путчу:

“There is no doubt President Donald J. Trump is the lawful winner of the presidential election. Joe Biden is not president-elect.
Accordingly, state legislatures in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Michigan should exercise their plenary power under the Constitution and appoint clean slates of electors to the Electoral College to support President Trump. Similarly, both the House and Senate should accept only these clean Electoral College slates and object to and reject any competing slates in favor of Vice President Biden from these states.”

“The leadership of CNP is heavily represented among the signatories of this letter,” Anne Nelson, author of a book about CNP, Shadow Network, told CMD. “CNP threw its network’s support behind Donald Trump in 2016, and he has richly rewarded them by appointing their candidates to the federal courts, implementing their social and economic policy agendas, and employing their members in his administration. CNP partners have engaged in many forms of electoral manipulation over the decades, but this is the first time we’ve seen them challenge the entire electoral system.”
CNP is closely tied to Trump and to the farthest fringes of the president’s failed legal operation to overturn the election. The group invited a menagerie of far-right leaders to speak at its in-person 2020 annual conference in August, and one “Gold Circle” dinner event featured Sidney Powell, whose open support for wild QAnon-related conspiracy theories led to her removal from the Trump campaign’s legal team; Trump lawyer Joseph diGenova, who suggested on Newsmax that the Trump administration’s recently fired cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs be executed; and CNP member Carrie Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network.
In May, the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) exposed a CNP Action plan to create a coalition of pro-Trump doctors to minimize the severity of COVID-19 and paper over Trump’s failures to acknowledge and contain it. CNP also helped organize anti-lockdown protests, and operatives tied to CNP organized protests alleging nonexistent voter fraud, as CMD reported.
Additional signers of the letter include Conservative Action Project Chair Al Regnery, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, Media Research Center President Brent Bozell, Citizens United President David Bossie, 60 Plus Association founder James Martin, and leaders from two anti-LGBTQ hate groups: former CNP president and current Family Research Council President Tony Perkins and Rob Chambers, vice president of AFA Action, the “social welfare” arm of the American Family Association.
The letter comes as 18 state attorneys general, led by Texas AG Ken Paxton, are petitioning the Supreme Court to nullify the elections in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
