[[File:BLM terrorist incidents.jpeg|left|350px|thumb|A ''[[Time magazine]]'' survey found 570 leftwing [[terrorist]] incidents in 220 cities between May 24, 2020 and August 22, 2020.<ref>https://time.com/5886348/report-peaceful-protests/</ref>]]
2020 Democratic presidential candidate [[Joseph Robinette Biden]] openly hinted at intent to commit [[treason]] and insurrection, with aid from the Democrat Party, by claiming that four former joint chiefs of staff are ready to act,<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/colin-powell-s-criticism-means-four-ex-chairmen-joint-chiefs-n1227101</ref> referring to four ''former'' chairmen of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]] and now retired generals and admirals — Retired Navy Admiral [[Mike Mullen]], Retired Army General Martin Dempsey, Retired Air Force General Richard Myers, and Retired Army General [[Colin Powell]] — who have publicly criticized Trump’s notice that he may use federal troops to quell the [[Leftist insurrection]] if necessary, protect lives, and restore calm.
Biden suggested that retired generals who publicly criticized the current elected president may be pressed into action by Biden to enforce the results of an election. Biden seemed to suggest that Biden can decide if Trump could only be reelected illegitimately. He apparently believes he has the support of the military, active and retired, to depose Trump. As disclosures mounted that outgoing [[Vice President]] Biden himself in 2017 thought that he and his administration had a right to surveil the [[2016 Trump campaign]] and [[Trump transition]]. Biden himself requested the unmasking of an American citizen in subsequent intelligence transcripts; the name had been redacted and was then [[illegal]]ly [[leak]]ed to the press. Biden was part of an Obama team that approved spying on [[General Michael Flynn]], Trump’s designated [[national security adviser]] — all justified on the notion of “[[Russian collusion]]” that at that time had already been debunked by the [[Obama administration]]’s own [[FBI]].
Regulations prohibit retired generals and admirals from disparaging the current [[commander in chief]]. The relevant regulations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice are more explicit about what constitutes clearly unacceptable behavior for retired generals still receiving government pay and perks.<ref>http://archive.is/Bh1GI</ref>
In 1992 [[President George H.W. Bush]] characterized the riots in [[Los Angeles]] over the beating of Rodney King as mob-like:
{{quotebox|“What we saw last night and the night before in Los Angeles is not about civil rights. . . . It’s not a message of protest. It’s been the brutality of a mob, pure and simple.”}}
As commander in chief, Bush ordered 4,500 [[Marine]] combat troops into the city to quell the [[violence]]. And he added of the order, {{quotebox|“[[Federal]] effort will not be driven by mob violence, but by respect for [[due process]] and [[law]].”}}
[[File:Ballot harvesting.jpeg|left|300px|thumb|]]
At the time of the 1992 riots, Bush’s chairman of the joint chiefs, who oversaw the dispatch of the federal Marines into Los Angeles, was General Colin Powell. Powell, who now criticized Trump for even considering the use federal troops, reportedly told Bush of his request for federal troops to quell a domestic disturbance, “All you’ve got to do is say it.”
For the first time in modern memory, lots of media venues and essayists have openly discussed the possibility that the President Trump might be the object of a [[coup]], warnings issued both prior to and after President Trump’s election, from both [[American]]s and foreign observers, and then again in reaction to [[political]]ly [[partisan]] declarations of disdain from the retired generals and admirals. They made no specific charges that the president had violated the [[Constitution]] while daily more evidence surfaced of the Obama administration’s efforts to [[sabotage]] a campaign, a presidential transition, and the early months of the new [[Trump administration]].
It is not just retired military officers who voice barely veiled concerns that Trump is beyond the pale and has wrecked the Constitution and should leave “the sooner, the better” (as retired admiral William McRaven put it in 2019). High-ranking intelligence and investigatory officials under the guise of constitutionalism have deemed Donald Trump and his administration, at least in their own individual exalted estimations, existential threats that require extra-constitutional means to defeat.
Rarely have the former head of the CIA ([[John Brennan]]), the top echelon of the FBI ([[James Comey]] and [[Andrew McCabe]]), and the former director of national intelligence ([[James Clapper]]) — none of them elected officials — become the subject of criminal investigations by federal attorneys for a number of possible federal crimes, whose essence was aborting a presidential transition and later a presidency.
In 2018, the retired director of the CIA tweeted of the President, in the larger context of [[Russian collusion hoax|the now repudiated Russian hoax]] and, in particular, the firing of Andrew McCabe from the FBI,
{{quotebox|“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history. . . . America will triumph over you”}}
Brennan, prior to Trump’s presidency, admitted to lying under oath to Congress on two occasions. Former U.N. ambassador [[Samantha Power]] tweeted a snarky assent,
{{quotebox|“Not a good idea to piss off John Brennan.”}}
That echoed Senate Minority leader [[Democrat]] Leader [[Chuck Schumer]]’s earlier warning:
{{quotebox|“Let me tell you: You take on the [[intelligence community]] — they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you.”}}
[[File:Voter Fraud Division.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Voter fraud has become a serious problem across the United States and threatens the integrity of the [[2020 presidential election]].]]
In an interview with [[HBO]]’s ''The Circus'', [[Hillary Clinton]] said ,
{{quotebox-float|"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually I do believe he will win if we don’t give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is. We’ve got to have a massive legal operation. I know the Biden campaign is working on that."<ref> https://creativedestructionmedia.com/news/politics/2020/08/25/hillary-clinton-joe-biden-should-not-concede-under-any-circumstances/</ref>}}
[[Al Gore]] likewise publicly advocated for a Marxist-style military coup to overthrow American [[democracy]].<ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/al-gore-says-if-trump-refuses-to-concede-election-the-military-would-run-him-out</ref>
====The largest voter fraud organization ever====
:{{See also|Cloward-Piven strategy|Ballot harvesting|2020 Voter fraud timeline}}
Ten days before the election Biden went back into hiding and boasted of having assembled "the most extensive and inclusive [[voter fraud]] organization in history.”<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/24/joe-biden-brags-about-having-most-extensive-voter-fraud-organization-in-history/</ref> When Democrats want to tilt elections in their favor outside the ballot box, [[Marc Elias]] of [[Perkins Coie]] is the go-to guy. Perkins Coie is the Democratic law firm, paid by [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign|the Hillary Clinton campaign]], that hired [[Fusion GPS]] to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2016. They failed, but still compiled the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' full of foreign-solicited lies about Trump and Russia, which was leaked by Obama intelligence officials to try to sabotage the new president’s administration, sow doubt in his election victory, and invalidate the votes of 63 million Americans. From [[Wisconsin]] to [[Nevada]], to [[California]], Marc Elias and the Democrats pushed lawsuits disguised as “election reform” to water down important election safeguards and increase the opportunity for fraud, abuse, and corruption. In August 2020 ''[[Politico]]'' reported,
{{quotebox|[[Coronavirus]] has turned the Democratic Party’s voter contact program, one operative said, into something more like a tech support operation than a traditional door-knocking effort.....[[Priorities USA]], the Democratic super PAC, is spending $24 million on voter mobilization, which includes vote-by-mail education. Fair Fight, a group founded by [[Stacey Abrams]], has rolled out voter protection programs in 17 states....
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the USPS and on mail-voting is raising concern among voters, operatives say.
“We've seen such an increase from young people in terms of concern about their ballot casting,” said Jared DeLoof, the states director of [[NextGen America]], which targets younger voters. “They want to vote, they want to make sure that that vote is going to count.” [...]
Democrats believe they will also have to follow up with some voters after their ballot has been cast, in an effort to help them fix ballots that have been rejected for technical reasons. State rules vary widely on if or how voters can correct their ballots, and the time windows to do so can be short.
While Democratic campaigns and groups navigate the patchwork of state rules governing mail ballots to encourage turnout, Democratic election attorney Marc Elias is trying to change many of those rules.
[[File:Ballots in dumpster.png|right|350px|thumb|Mail-in ballots were found inside of a dumpster and a Postal worker arrested; [[mainstream fake news media]] repeatedly claimed mail-in voting was secure.<ref>https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/trumps-repeated-false-attacks-on-mail-in-ballots/</ref>]]
This is the other half of the party’s vote-by-mail efforts: a sprawling legal effort that spans every battleground state and is costing tens of millions of dollars. Priorities USA, just one of Elias’ clients, has expanded its voting litigation budget to $32 million.
“One of the features of vote by mail is that between the point that the voter cast the ballot and the point that the ballot is counted, several things have to go right,” Elias said in an interview. “One is that the ballot has to be received by the election officials in time. ... And the second is that the ballot needs to be verified and accepted.”
Elias, who was the lead attorney in former Sen. [[Al Franken]]’s (D-Minn.) 2008 recount victory and the general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[John Kerry]]’s presidential campaigns, is pursuing what he calls “four pillars” of legal changes to election laws during coronavirus. The first, that mail ballots should include paid postage with them, has some cross-partisan support.
The other three do not, locking Elias in a wide-range legal fight with Republicans all over the country, including the Republican National Committee and its legal budget of at least $20 million. Those fights are over Elias’ push to mandate that states count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after the fact; overhauling signature matching laws, which Elias derides as based on pseudoscience; and allowing for third parties to collect and turn in voters’ sealed absentee ballots, which Democrats call “community collection” and Republicans largely deride as “[[ballot harvesting]].”
“One thing you do is you make sure that people whose ballot is being challenged based on signature matching, that the people that are doing that have been trained, are applying uniform non-discriminatory standards. And most importantly, the voter is notified and has an opportunity to cure,” Elias said of his legal strategy. (A cure process mandates that a state contacts voters whose ballots have been rejected to give them the ability to fix — or cure — their ballot.)
Several Democratic-backed lawsuits have also pushed to expand who can cast absentee ballots. In 44 states, any voter can, at a minimum, request an absentee ballot if they choose to do so, and some states have changed that requirement as a response to the pandemic. [...]
Republicans argue that allowing for outside parties to collect and deliver ballots could lead to coercion or fraud. [...]
Depending on how close the races for the White House and battleground Senate seats are, "we could be headed for a ''[[Bush v. Gore]]'' situation in every battleground state, depending how close the results are."<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/21/democrats-vote-by-mail-plan-399671</ref>}}
The RNC and the Trump campaign pushed back against the Democrats’ assault on the integrity of elections. All across the country, Democrats tried to use coronavirus and the courts to legalize ballot harvesting, implement a nationwide mail-in ballot system, and eliminate nearly every safeguard in our elections.
One in five mail in ballots have been rejected in several 2020 elections. Nearly two-thirds (62%) say there is fraud in U.S. elections, and that fraud would concern them under Democrats’ nationwide mail-in ballot system. Americans overwhelmingly approve of the safeguards Democrats are suing to eliminate like signature matching (84%), voter identification (80%), and a ballot receipt deadline of election day (83%). Voters also oppose (67%) allowing campaign workers to collect mail-in ballots, also known as ballot harvesting.<ref>https://www.protectthevote.com/</ref>
'''DOJ investigations'''
[[File:800px-William Barr.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Attn. Gen. William P. Barr]]
[[Attorney General]] [[Bill Barr]] warned that mass mail-in voting is an invitation for voter fraud and coercion. The [[Justice Department]] is conducting several “very big” voter fraud investigations in multiple states, Barr told Wolf Blitzer of [[CNN]] in an interview aired on Sept. 2, 2020. At least 83% of American voters, or roughly 100 million people, will be able to vote by mail in the 2020 election, according to ''[[The Washington Post]]''.
{{quotebox-float|“We haven’t had the kind of widespread use of mail-in ballots as being proposed. We’ve had absentee ballots from people who request them from a specific address. Now what we’re talking about is mailing them to everyone on the voter list, when everyone knows those voter lists are inaccurate.”<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/514883-barr-likens-mail-in-voting-to-paying-by-fire-in-testy-interview-with</ref>}}
Barr referenced the findings of a nonpartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, co-chaired by former [[President Jimmy Carter]] and former [[Secretary of State James Baker]], which had determined that mail-in voting creates the potential for voter fraud and opens the door to coercion if activists or party workers are allowed to handle ballots. House Judiciary Chairman warned,
{{quotebox-float|"I just, as a very experienced practical politician from New York, feel constrained to observe that in my experience in New York, paper ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud,” the veteran House Democrat said. “And at least with the old clunky voting machines that we have in New York, the deliberate fraud is way down compared to paper."<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/05/27/jerry-nadler-warned-of-possible-paper-ballot-fraud-in-2004/</ref>}}
More than 43% of likely American voters would not trust the integrity of an election if all voters automatically were mailed ballots or ballot request forms, according to an ''[[Epoch Times]]'' National Poll conducted in late August 2020.
{{quotebox|“This is playing with fire. We’re a very closely divided country here and people have to have confidence in the results of the election and the legitimacy of the government. And people trying to change the rules to this methodology—which as a matter of logic is very open to fraud and coercion—is reckless and dangerous."<ref>https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/09/02/bill_barr_vs_cnns_wolf_blitzer_we_are_playing_with_fire_with_mail-in_ballots.html</ref>}}
Democrats are waging a well-financed legal campaign across the nation to make it easier to vote by mail. They are litigating at least 80 of the more than 100 vote-by-mail court cases across the nation. Biden said the [[Democrat party]] has more than 600 lawyers working on election-related cases.<ref>https://www.ntd.com/justice-department-conducting-very-big-voter-fraud-investigations-barr-says_503012.html</ref>
