Two memos written in the aftermath of the 2020 election — and first reported last week — lay out plans and justifications for Vice President Mike Pence to swing the results to former President Donald Trump. "This collection of memos shows more clearly than ever that those closest to the former president were dedicated to finding some loophole to keep him in power," Hayes Brown writes. "Their mentally thin, ultimately self-serving assertions acted as fuel to Trump’s delusions, which he then passed on to his followers — most spectacularly, of course, at his rally ahead of the riot on Jan. 6."
That makes three members of Trump team now who've laid out their thinking in writing, basically serving as a blueprint for future coup attempts. It'll be up to Democrats to see that the schemes detailed in the memos' pages never fail next time too, Brown writes.
