One reason they hate Liz Cheney so much is that she was the one who organized the "We Won't Coup For You" letter. So now all the people who are like "If Trump really did have a Coup he would have called in the Military" are not quite aware that letter was their way of saying "If you do this you are fucked".
Liz Cheney actually probably saved Trump from crapping himself at the end of a rope. (Don't think the Fed hang anymore. I think it is just the more humiliating Lethal Injection)
But yah, all these little clownish moves of ballot counting after certification, Sad Sack Military Nobodies + Convicted Crim Admiral Poindexter writing a letter against Biden...This is just Trump Coup 2.0. Trump Coup 1.0 we could see from a mile away. We saw this while he was getting the posties to dismantle mail sorting machines and drop boxes.
"The Left" was even getting organized to prepare for a General Strike if Trump cancelled the election. We knew about this before the fake "Stop The Steal" bullshit. This next part we are seeing is more of it.
Trump will try something, The current Republicans in office will protect him. Then he will try something again and so on and so on and he will keep trying until he gets back in or he dies or is put in jail.
The problem is Trump has no concept of protecting his inner circle. He makes them fight one another for his favors, then he tosses them under the bus. Eventually he will be left with angry rabble and incompetent Guilliani types and Lin Woods types and My Pillow Guy types.
Those guys won't make a coup.
He will try though.
Most likely Leticia James will get him sent to a cushy prison and that is the best he can actually hope for.
Mazars!
Basically she got Mazars to be a cooperating witness. Mazars is huge. The US branch is more "independent" than the international group, but it is still big.
For those of you not familiar with taxes and accounting in the USA, if you hire someone to do your taxes, that person is liable if they make a mistake. My wife and I had an accountant screw up on our taxes a while back and the IRS went through them and settled through them and they paid the fine (they filed late for some reason). If the accounting firm did something criminal, like sometimes firms would charge based on your projected refund or money "saved" by their services they would exaggerate loss and hide income and take a cut of the difference.
If they did this without the client's knowledge they would be criminally liable.
The Non-Waivable Conflict of Interest likely means they are a co-operating witness against Trump Org. That means if they have any form of communication other than the re-emphasize their severance, they will be charged.
Since Leticia James is does not fall into the typical New York City establishment of "These guys are too big, we cannot take them on" she has found ways to get them based on their assumption that no one would try to get them.
The NRA just assumed it could change jurisdictions on a whim? Why? Because they had threatened that in the past and no one called their bluff.
Mazar is big. So big that they probably thought they could do whatever they wanted and got sloppy because they assumed no one would investigate them anyway.
Trump is correctly claiming this is a racial thing. He is right. No WASPy New Yorkers would have ever taken on these groups. The NRA was located in anti-Gun New York because the executives wanted to live in Westchester, Connecticut and the Upper East side next to their school chums. They would not have lasted as long as they have if they had been based in Arizona or Tennessee, The Yalie alums would have never stuck up for them or ignored them as needed if they had been anywhere else other than near the center of power.
Trump just said out loud what a lot of White people in the USA think: Black People screw things up.
An Attorney General from HOWARD University is not gonna play ball like the Ivy league people expect and someone who got their start in The Legal Aid Society is not gonna give a shit how big or important someone is.
