>Trump must be out of office to avoid looking like he ordered what is going to take place. Optics
Yep. Trump isn't the enemy here. Election coup, let it play out with Joe being sworn in, then drop the hammer. DC lockdown, no where to run for the traitors.
>however there was no point in letting him take office to begin with.
I see your viewpoint as valid, but having CJ Roberts swearing Joe in nails his arse right then and there. This isn't about Trump, it is about the coup and the Constitution.
>Trump is remembered as the traitor he was rather than the hero of the people he presented himself as.
Later, Dude!
