Donald Trump's prime time election speech turned out to be low energy and, by Hawk's read, self-defeating: the declassified material presented showed Russia interfering in 2020 to benefit Trump and harm Joe Biden, which is the same finding intelligence agencies reached about 2016. Hawk notes the pattern in which Trump disputes only the election he lost.
The speech matters less for its facts than for its signal. Hawk reads it as telegraphing that this administration will not accept the results of the midterms, and he puts it alongside the rest of the week: Jay Clayton declining to say who won in 2020, Todd Blanche testifying the president may direct prosecutions of his enemies, and Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller announcing an expansion of groups designated as domestic terrorists under National Security Presidential Memorandum 7.
His practical warning is about conspiracy charges, using a Texas ICE protest case where one participant reportedly received 30 years, and how one person's actions can be attributed to an entire group. He lays out the real timeline, the eight to ten weeks between Election Day and January when the new Congress is sworn in, notes Trump has lost roughly 15 election cases this year including before his own appointees, and asks where Democratic leadership is.
