Under Obama & Biden, the DOJ was fundamentally pushed to the left by AG Eric Holder.

Among other things:

1) Holder came up with the process for doling out nearly $1 billion in settlements from the financial crisis to activist groups.
2) Holder presided over the unlawful investigation of certain members of the media.

3) Under Holder’s command, the Department of Justice secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for the Associated Press.
4) DOJ monitored the personal email and phone of Fox News reporter James Rosen.

5) Holder refused to prosecute anyone in the IRS targeting of 426 conservative groups during the Obama Administration.
But according to Psaki, it was Trump who politicized the DOJ....

Meanwhile, Psaki used her sideways "blame Trump" excuse to avoid answering if the "newly independent" DOJ would be looking at Cuomo's mismanagement and under-counting of nursing home Covid deaths...

"There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs...the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans."

“It was all very, very strange,” Trump said on Dec. 2. “Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner, even while many key states were still being counted.”

"In a way, Trump was right."
"The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort..."

1) The Larger Impact of the GameStop Investor Wars

"The fundamental issue currently being fought over is who gets to have a role in determining financial value, access and outcome."

2) In some respects, the market has traditionally been seen as the ultimate arena of opportunity and free speech.

We can all invest in companies we deem attractive, and if we’re wrong, the market quickly shows us the error of our ways.
3) But recent events have exposed the extent to which this belief may be unfounded and the manner in which the financial system has been systematically weighted towards certain players, at the expense of others.

1) "Funded by hundreds of millions of dollars from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and other high-tech interests, activist organizations created a two-tiered election system"

2) "Private monies dictated city and county election management contrary to both federal law and state election plans endorsed and developed by state legislatures with authority granted by the United States Constitution."
3) "Executive officials in swing states facilitated, through unique and novel contracts, the sharing of private and sensitive information about citizens within those states with private interests"

1) Lots of politicians talking about the "Sanctity" & "Strength" of our "Institutions".

While failing to acknowledge that for a huge swath of Americans, that faith in those same Institutions has been impaired or destroyed.
2) President Trump didn't create this lack of faith. Nor the anger and distrust.

It has long been there, brewing and gathering strength. Precisely because of actions from those same Institutions.

The reactions from the Media & DC to Trump's term solidified those beliefs.
3) We just learned that the IC downplayed the role of China in the election for political purposes.

"Some of our career people, even CIA management, were politicizing China intelligence”

1) Congress is incentivized to see Pence's role as passive.

But Constitutional scholars differ and/or acknowledge that varying interpretations exist.

Note: I am NOT predicting what Pence will do. I will just be highlighting some ambiguities.

(Apologies - will be long thread)
2) Edward Foley is head of Election Law Dept at Ohio U.

He is Left & originator of Blue Shift theory

What follows are quotes from his "war-game" paper published in the Loyola University Chicago Law Journal - Preparing for a Disputed Presidential Election
lawecommons.luc.edu/cgi/viewconten…
3) "As part of an effort to prepare for the risk of a disputed presidential election in 2020, it is imperative to consider how the embarrassingly deficient procedures might operate if they were actually called into play."

“There’s about 16 or 18 of us now that signed this letter to the Vice President … asking him to delay the electoral vote for 10 to 12 days.”

“We were going to get it to him tomorrow morning.”
theepochtimes.com/georgia-state-…
“I think several senators from Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona also wrote letters sent to the Vice President, [telling him] we want the vice president to at least delay it 10 to 12 days.”
Jan 20th is date that matters Constitutionally:

"Terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January"

Pence can, and in my view, should defer.

Allows Audit to proceed. Takes ECA away.

Gives states time to revisit, clarify. With new evidence.
