Reminder to all that this is "part of the plan" (not in a Q sense).

Trump is basically treating this properly like a soft coup attempt (which it is) and is maneuvering appropriately by using the legal process first.

"But why didn't he call in the Marsh-"

Overkill. You see, he's playing the PR game just as much as the social media corps; this is actually the proper situation to toss around the term "optics." He knows he's under a lot of scrutiny, so he's decreasing his public presence and focusing as much as possible on the legal investigation. Why?

It's what a "legitimate" government would do to outsiders, right? Peacefully employ its own laws?

In a coup where the government splits into two factions vying for power, the real battle is a PR battle to win centrist support, both domestically and internationally. If one side is violent and boorish and the other is calm and stable, centrists will pick the latter.

Remember "LAW AND ORDER?" That wasn't just for the campaign, because the campaign hasn't ended. Trump is complying with the legal process to emphasize how Biden isn't.

"But duh media n my frens s-"

Sadly, what they say doesn't matter legally. Do our courts follow "street justice?" "Street justice" in America doesn't fly internationally.

Trump is basically counting on the Dems being chaotic as possible to alienate the citizens who prioritize stability and security. Let the media lie all they want, he can still call up the UK prime minister and say, "Hey, today our investigations found the Michigan Election Commission acted in violation of their own state laws..."

Be patient. The Dems won't be.

It should be pointed out, that this why all those world leaders are so quick to take a side in this. They know FULL WELL what is going on, because it happen in their part of the world a LOT.
