steal it first, when insisting that nothing out of the ordinary happened
write articles about how they were just concerned citizens doing what they think is the right thing, and how it was all perfectly legal and above board
now when all the lawsuits go Trump's way, and a couple dozen of the riggers have to resign or actually get caught, the narrative is already in place that they were just the bad apples (rioters) in the middle of a totally legit election influence campaign (largely peaceful protests)
it's always the same narrative, only the details change
Almost like they wanted a hedge in case something were to happen, and they could say - look, we reported on all those strange things that happened too!
it's all part of the plan

I think they are so emboldened by this administration, they feel invincible
