"When you catch somebody in a fraud, you’re allowed to go by very different rules. So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do. And I hope he doesn’t listen to the RINOs and the stupid people that he’s listening to...Our brightest days are before us, our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9:00 in the evening and say, “I want to thank you very much,” and they go off to some other life, but I said, “Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like Hell and if you don’t fight like Hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore....Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun. My fellow Americans for our movement, for our children and for our beloved country and I say this, despite all that’s happened, the best is yet to come." - President Trump 1/6/21

Mike obviously didn't have the courage to do what he was supposed to do.
or maybe he did have courage? Trump said it would take more courage to do nothing.
He did say that and I still dont understand what he meant by that because mike did nothing.
This is a long shot, but maybe Mike needed courage to contest the slates of electors and send them back to the states, but he needed more courage to do nothing because he knew Trump would fix it with the military after certification.
Because they know this is the action they must take to drain the swamp. THIS makes sense.
I swear I didn't see you
Just playing along with OP. But if the options were:
then it would take more courage to do 2.
While Pence was supposed to kick the votes back, the theory right now is that the fraudulent results needed to be certified for any true action to take place, because it means the crime has finally been committed and the damage is done. By kicking the fraudulent electors back to the states it prolongs the process and would make it more difficult to nail them.
so when Trump wrote that he was disappointed in Pence and Pence responded that that hurt his feelings, that was all kayfabe?
Then there is no longer plausible deniability.
what if it was Mike Pompeo
What if it was Mike Obama
