“Mitch is kidding himself if he thinks he’ll be remembered for anything other than Trump. He will be remembered as the Trump facilitator,” @stuartpstevens tells @JaneMayerNYer: https://t.co/mwObrsklXR

For what it’s worth, I do think they’re going along with Trump’s stolen election scam — but mostly to keep control of the Senate after the Georgia primary.

If we saw the head of the ruling regime, and his party, react to the election results this way in any other country, we’d know exactly what we are looking at.

And I’d say here, too, it’s time to be honest and say we know exactly what we are looking at. https://t.co/aLQetMNmjR

I think Barr left some guardrails. I also think if it was a real coup, Pilger would have been too afraid to resign publicly:

Pilger threw himself on his sword to alert us all as to how dangerous Barr’s authorization is. He could have waited out the last 60+ days of Trump, but the policy signals to Trump’s minions Barr’s willingness to toss out the rule of law. https://t.co/R55vtyMlku

There were no irregularities. This is an attempted coup & every major figure in America needs to denounce it. US attorneys need to resign in protest. They are trying to overturn the election & subvert the will of the people https://t.co/feduK8RC67

NEW from @AlxThomp: Biden's team can't start working with federal agencies on the transition of power until the GSA certifies him the winner. So far, they're staying mum. https://t.co/IK3MWoq9mZ
