In reply to the discussion: Fiona Hill: Trump DID try to stage a coup using our military. US military refused. [View all]Lonestarblue
(10,336 posts)28. I agree. I've been wondering since Wednesday who planned and coordinated this.
Coups are not spontaneous, and someone in the White House helped plan this action. Trump is not smart enough or able to focus long enough to carry out such a plan. Whoever it is needs to be found and charged with treason. Perhaps its Jared. He has been silent lately, and I remember someone posting that a moving truck was seen in front of their residence in DC this week. Perhaps theyre getting out of town as fast as they can, hoping the spotlight will not fall on them.
Could also be Stephen Miller. He is a nasty, devious little weasel. Or perhaps Flynn was behind this, thinking he could get some military support. All three need to have their communications subpoenaed and pulled in for questioning.

I wonder if Biden could re-hire Fiona Hill? She is a brilliant and patriotic American. NT

It is obvious this was a coup attempt, whether we see any justice is another thing

He seems to do a lot of that (miscalculation). Only way to stay in power is through violence

Yes. "... without explicit approval from Trump's defense secretary". Why Esper was fired Nov 9

When I saw all those Secretaries of Defense come out with a united front I knew something was up.

That is a prosecution I don't see as ever being brought, let alone won and punished.

And that's a pity because they'll keep on trying and killing in the name of white supremacy.
