What if the DS wasn't really expecting to win? What if they were just trying to bait trump into causing chaos and fully intended to use more "ammo" to distract the public. While he was president they had a reasonable idea of what trump and his people were up to since they also we're legally trying to be as transparent as possible.
Now that DJT's gone, can they now know when he'll strike back. They're almost sailing their sinking ship into the darkness themselves. They have to suspect BY NOW that the military knows they are traitors/enemies (unless they truly are that stupid). So are they attempting to use NG members as pawns/human shields against our military?
We do know Trump authorized them, however. So does the DS suspect that NG are probably in cahoots with the mil and wont protect them? Hence, Joe Biden getting his special private security on top of the NG.
Maybe they're trying to patch the boat until chyna comes to save their asses.
