US Capitol riot probe gets coup plan presentation from Trump chief of staff – report

[IsraelTimes] PowerPoint handed to US House investigation reportedly suggests several options for then-president to pursue to derail Congress’s January 6 certification of Biden’s election win
Former US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s then-chief of staff has reportedly turned over a PowerPoint presentation to the US House committee investigating the January 6 Reichstag Capitol

attack, detailing plans to declare a national emergency in order to retain the presidency.
Actual plans or merely proposed options? They are very different things. The PowerPoint, which was sent in an email to Mark Meadows, was titled "Election Fraud, Foreign Interference & Options for 6 Jan," and presented several possible courses of action for Trump to pursue in order to derail Congress’s certification of the election results on that day, The Guardian reported Saturday.
Meadows, who served as Trump’s chief of staff during his tumultuous final days in office, is seen as a key witness to the efforts to overturn the election by undemocratic means. He received the 38-page presentation in an email ahead of the certification process, a source familiar with the matter told the newspaper.
Having initially ignored a subpoena to testify before the House of Representatives committee, Meadows later reached an agreement on sharing information with politicians — before reversing course again. The PowerPoint presentation was handed to the committee as part of that agreement.
It recommended that in order for Trump to annul the November 2020 election result in which he lost to now-US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing ...
, he should first brief senators and members of Congress about foreign interference, then declare a national emergency and declare all electronic voting invalid. He could then, the presentation recommended, ask Congress to agree on a "constitutionally acceptable" remedy, the report said.
The PowerPoint also outlined options for then vice-US president Mike Pence to disrupt the election certification process, which he had the largely ceremonial role of overseeing, by appointing Trump electors in key Democratic states or rejecting the votes from those states.
None of which the vice president acted on, making the document look very much like a nothingburger. The PowerPoint was presented on January 4 to a number of Republican senators and representatives, the report said.
As I recall, they didn’t act on any of the proposals either, so altogether a nothingburger. After handing over the presentation and a number of other materials linked to the January 6 attack, Meadows said last week he was no longer willing to cooperate with the probe, whereupon Sherlocks threatened him with criminal prosecution.
"Now actions by the select committee have made such an appearance untenable," Meadows’s attorney, George Terwilliger, said in a new letter to the committee circulated among US media.
The lawyer said Meadows’s change of mind had come after he learned over the weekend that the committee had "issued wide-ranging subpoenas for information from a third party communications provider."
"We now have every indication from the information supplied to us last Friday — upon which Mr. Meadows could expect to be questioned — that the select committee has no intention of respecting boundaries concerning executive privilege," wrote Terwilliger.
Trump has invoked "executive privilege" — a carve-out available in theory only to sitting presidents to protect sensitive private exchanges with aides — in a bid to avoid having to turn over documents requested by the committee.
The panel rejected Meadows’s executive privilege claim, noting that the hardline former Republican congressman had provided much detail about the attack, including his conversations with then-president Trump, in a new book.
In an interview aired late Tuesday on conservative broadcaster Fox News, Meadow said that "hopefully the courts can work it out," adding that he had tried to be accommodating with non-privileged information "while making sure that executive privilege is protected."
Panel chairman Bennie Thompson and his deputy Liz Cheney
...Faux Republican hereditary congresswoman-for-life from Wyoming. She has been described as Republican royalty. A staunch Never Trumper, Liz supported the second impeachment of Donald Trump for his role in the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Publicans dumped her from her leadership position in May 2021. Refusing to admit that she had trashed her own career, Cheney has said that she intends to be the leader... in a fight to help to restore our party and that she may be interested in a future presidential run....
said in a statement they planned to go ahead with a deposition of the Trump loyalist scheduled for Wednesday.
"If indeed Mr. Meadows refuses to appear, the select committee will be left no choice but to advance contempt proceedings and recommend that the body in which Mr. Meadows once served refer him for criminal prosecution."
