"A Coup In Search of a Legal Theory"

January 6th Committee Final Report, from Chapter 5...

".... President Trump and his
lawyers tried to convince State and local officials to overturn the election,
but they met resistance. Those same officials would not break the law or
violate their oath to the Constitution. President Trump and his associates
tried to convince State legislatures to replace the legitimate electors won by
former Vice President Biden with Trump electors. The Trump Campaign
even convened their own fake electors who submitted false electoral votes
to Washington. But those efforts failed, too.
President Trump also attempted to use the Department of Justice (DOJ)
for his own corrupt political purposes. President Trump offered the job of
Acting Attorney General to a loyalist. He wanted this same DOJ official,
Jeffrey Clark, to send a letter to several States suggesting that they should
certify the fake electors convened by the Trump Campaign."

...they're back trying again in 2024...

...will they succeed...?
