Short 9 min video. Basically says WH meeting with Flynn, Powell, Byrne arguing with Trump's WH counsel was the last chance for pols to sack up.
POTUS decided to give swing state legislators one last chance to do their job and go out with respect, or they'll be blamed for the martial law period which follows.
My take is that it's plausible. POTUS only needs to drop inside proof of election fix before congress votes on veto override and Jan 6 to put GOP pols on the spot. If they disregard obvious fraud they're finished politically and will be regarded as objects of scorn historically.
Most will be finished politically anyway, but by backing POTUS on the way out, they at least have earned some respect.
Assange said 98% of DC will go down if he released what he knew. I'm going with an Assange pardon, and let the chips fall where they may, before any veto override and Jan 6.
Video says martial law to clean up after Jan 20 when riots occur to protest Trump inauguration, if state legislatures actually sack up. Martial law before, otherwise.
Not far-fetched, IMO.
