Today in her blog, Heather Cox Richardson details the 2016 election hack whereby Russian Pres Putin handed the Oval Office to trump [FN1] & how White House officials are revisiting Putin’s interference in the 2016 election “to distract voters” from trump/Epstein; one observer 1/8

speculates “Putin might possess ‘some form of the Epstein files’” that trump wants kept secret. [FN2] I’ve said for several years that Putin has “kompromat” [FN3] on trump. [FN4] As the past few months show, trump’s grabbing complete control here to make himself dictator. 2/8

Simply to remove trump from office is not enough. I am familiar w/these issues. In 2017, I was counsel in cases before SCOTUS [FN5] [FN6] challenging validity of the 2016 election. Among grounds cited: violation of the “invasion clause” [FN7] via Russia’s cyber invasion. 3/8

If an election is void, so are acts of its “victor.” At day’s end, trump is protected by 3 SCOTUS justices who cover his treason. Removal of trump from office is not enough. We have to do a re-set to the day before the 2016 election. We can’t let them fill the “camps” they’re building. 4/8

What do I know? After all, I’m suspended from the practice of law. For disclosure & details, read the blogs I list below. [FN8] We are on the eve of, or perhaps already in, civil war. As a pacifist, I have to say: only peaceful means should be employed in resistance. 5/8
