One of the more disturbing options was to use the National Guard to take over the election process and count only what they deemed to be "legitimate" paper ballots. Farron Cousins explains why we need to take this very seriously and what should be done about it.

Mark Meadows may not be cooperating with the January 6th select committee anymore. In fact, he's actually suing them for completely baseless, uh, accusations by the way. And that's a lawsuit that is destined to fail, but he's also already given the committee all of the information that he had and what he's given them is an absolute treasure trove to show how diabolical their plan to overturn the November, 2020 election truly was one of the pieces of evidence that Benny Thompson chairperson of the, uh, committee released late last week showed that there was a PowerPoint that had multiple different options on how to overturn the election results. And one of them was truly more horrifying than the others and this plan, which thank God, never came to fruition. But the plan, the option, I guess, was to have the national garden, all 50 states step in and take over the election.
The after of course the election had already happened and what the national guard was going to do, according to the point, uh, PowerPoint, they would have a trusted lead counter would be appointed with authority from the pods to direct the actions of select federalized, national guard units, and support from the DOJ department of Homeland security and other us government agencies, as it to complete a recount of all the legal paper ballots for the federal election in all 50 states. So basically you take the national guard of every state and you say, listen, they're now in charge of all the election stuff, give it all to them. Pots gets to pick a trusted lead counter. Somebody that's obviously gonna be a loyal Trumper and you are now in charge of overseeing all of it. You get to make the determination and my DOJ, Homeland security, they're all gonna back you up. You get to determine which one is a legal ballot and which one is not. And only the paper ballots are gonna be considered. All the electronic votes immediately get thrown out. Like those don't even matter anymore.
We have barely scratched the surface on how diabolical this administration was on the links that they were at least considering to go to, to overturn this election. These should be prosecutable offenses. As far as I'm concerned, they are prosecutable offenses. They were developing plans to overthrow the dually elected government of the United States. That is treason. At the very least it's sedition. Mark meadow should be prosecuted. The person who came up with this little PowerPoint needs to be prosecuted. I, I don't know who that was yet. Donald Trump should be prosecuted. The fact that they even considered any of this as viable options to overturn an election, none of these people should see the light of day. Again, they should be locked into prison for the rest of their lives. This is treason against the United States of America. And Merick Garland our attorney general. Isn't doing a thing about it.
Merick Garland needs to be forced out of office immediately. I'm not giving him any more chances. I'm not gonna be one of those people like you see on social media, like, oh, just wait. Oh, he's so calculated. No, he is being a fricking coward. The evidence is right there in the committee's hands right now, they were planning to overturn the government and honestly had that cool on January 6th, not taken place, had the public not suddenly been laser focused on what was actually happening. I have no doubt. They would've tried to do it. Other things distracted them, other things exposed. Their plans had that not happened. We would be looking at a very different country than the one worst seeing today. And if Donald Trump runs for office again and manages to win, which is a real possibility, things are gonna be so much worse than any of us. Even imagine if he gets back into that white house, he's never leaving. I firmly believe that. And I'm not just saying that to scare people. I'm not trying to sound like a, a conspiracy theorist, but I firmly believe if Donald Trump ever wins the white house. Again, he'll never leave. He'll stay there. As long as his followers will let him, which would be until his last breath.
