1/ Ok I’m going to briefly lay out a speculative theory that fits what we currently know.
2/ I’m speculating that China acted to interfere in the election.
Trump admin, via CIA, DOJ, State and other agencies were aware and monitoring.

3/ They followed the Obama precedent and monitored instead of intervening.
4/ They are able to know, because of their monitoring, that Trump won based on the legal ballots.
5/ As it is an active investigation, Trump can’t discuss it publicly. The details also could not be shared with his campaign. So any campaign efforts would need to be based on public information and information collected by the campaign.
6/ That scenario would explain why Barr and Haspel went to see McConnell and why McConnell is supporting Trump in contesting an election that seems lost.
7/ It could also explain why the Trump admin is avoiding briefing Biden, particularly if, as I suspect, Biden is unaware of China’s actions. Remember Trump says it can never happen to another President what they did to him and Flynn. They used the briefing to target.
8/ This would be an incredibly sensitive investigation and would require only certain people be read in. Which would explain why Republican Senators unaware are saying Biden should be briefed while McConnell is not. They haven’t been read in.
9/ This would also explain why Pompeo is so certain there will be a second term. Something the Secretary of State doesn’t say from the State Department podium lightly.
10/ Anyway again this is speculation. /end
