Here’s my reasoning:
• Byrne, Wood, Powell and others are conducting a disinformation op of some sort.
• It makes some sense that who they mention are the targets of the op.
• It makes more sense that who they are not mentioning nearly as much are the targets. I.e. really big targets that they want to think are not vulnerable or in danger.
• McConnell is pretty dirty re: China. See the following:

• He’a also involved with some Dominion issues:

• McConnell made a point of coming to the Senate floor and saying the election was free of foreign influence:

This was partly based on Christopher Krebs (formerly of CISA) claim that the election was “secure”.
One way to read that is he was trying to prevent another “muh Russia” fairytale from grabbing hold.
But you can also read it as a preemptive strike on claims of China interference.
• McConnell preemptively tried to stop electoral protests in the Senate:

• McConnell got punked by Hawley who skipped a conference call:
Does Hawley know what is coming and the freeze out of McConnell has begun? Hello Majority Leader Hawley?
• Why did Trump throw this live grenade with the $600/$2000 Covid money issue into McConnell’s lap at the last second? It stands to hurt him more in the Georgia races than anything if Mitch didn’t come through (which he didn’t).
But what it did do is keep McConnell awfully distracted when he normally would have been out of session.
• If Trump has to take down McConnell, he’s going to have to do it extremely carefully. He’s the second most powerful person in the GOP, right? It would be a President potentially arresting a Senator for treason. And they were allies at least to some degree on all of the judges they got through.
So, it makes sense that Trump would try every last way he could to get McConnell to do the right thing and avoid having to take McConnell head on.
This is all just arm-chair musings. I don’t claim this to be accurate or even likely. But it’s making more and more sense the closer we get to the 6th.
Can anybody add to this or correct anything I got wrong?
