Brian Tyler Cohen: BREAKING: Attorney exposes IMMINENT Trump THREAT

[onetexan]

Quick summary: Attorney Marc Elias is alerting to NOT believe what Trump will be saying: He won, ballots not for him is fraudulent, etc.

1- Tune trump out. Don't believe what he says.
2- Ppl around the Con are more sycophantic. He purged all the ppl were who were guardrails, so the level of malevolence is much greater than in 2020.
3- Elias made a plea to the free press/media: don't create a false equivalency; do not to repeat trump's lies, don't cover them when he spews lies.

We know the RW will be beating the drums of a rigged election while they do the rigging. Don't believe them.

1. Who's the attorney and what's the threat?

[onetexan]

3. Can you summarize, please?

I'd rather spend a few seconds reading.

[orleans]

19. there is a summary in the op

23. And Marc Elias' organization,

Democracy Docket, is well worth supporting.

4. I think the threat is Trump claiming victory tomorrow night and not conceding

No one expects him to capitulate. He'll fight this up thru the Jan 6 certification.

[Kaleva]

6. Nothing illegal about either action

[Dennis Donovan]

7. If he somehow incites violence, which is possible but unlikely, it becomes illegal

That's where the threat lies - what his supporters do if it's clear he's not going to win.

[onetexan]

11. I have faith Biden & our Dems leaders have a plan in place to protect the nation

as Biden has taken the oath to protect Americans from enemies both foreign & domestic. Sadly it's domestic enemies wanting to subvert the election to gain power. But they will be dealt with, i'm confident of that.

[Dennis Donovan]

12. I hope they rely more on Nat Guard than LEOs

There's a lot of LEO MAGAs.

[onetexan]

14. what are LEO MAGAs? sorry not familiar w the acronym

[Dennis Donovan]

16. Law Enforcement Officers - Make America Great Again contingent. n/t

13. me too

[mucifer]

15. I wish the maga nuts didn't have so many weapons of war

[Wednesdays]

26. "Weapons of war" is all relative

I'm not saying they couldn't hurt a lot of people, but overthrowing the U.S. government? That's a bridge WAY too far.

[Kaleva]

25. I expect that there will be some violence

Whether or not Trump could be directly connected to it remains to be seen

[onetexan]

8. For sure, and we know how that turned out in 2020. There may be a red mirage due to AZ & other states' votes

taking days to be counted. But projections, as they have always been done, are made by the major networks, before then. He will not get away with it.

9. I can't emphasize it enough - PLEASE watch this video. It's well worth your time.

It would also be an excellent video for sending a link to it to your contact list.

[onetexan]

32. I hope he is picked as USAG!!

[MustLoveBeagles]

22. He's correct

The problem is, is that the people who really need to hear this won't listen.

[Unquiet Ash]

24. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Marc Elias is always good watching. Ditto BTC.

I'll add my voice to those requesting that readers watch the entire video - but if you have to stick to an excerpt, start at 1:14, where BTC asks Marc about how to handle the inevitable continuation and escalation of the Big Lie.

Marc gives a very straightforward answer about Trump having purged anyone unwilling to be a complete sycophant from his closest circle, and notes that the Harris team is very aware of the tactics and malevolence of the Trump team, and they're prepared. At 3:06, Marc calls out the role of the major media outlets and their potential impact on voter perception on election night and after that.

Marc rightly notes that:

And all too often we have seen the media, in an effort to be even handed, create a false equivalence. And it is vital that in this period we are entering into, you not allow that to happen. When Donald Trump tells lies, do not cover them. When you have to cover them, open up by saying he is lying, and then end by pointing out he is lying. Do not allow this to become a back-and-forth between people who Donald Trump has sent to your networks to spew misinformation and someone else who is there to tell the truth. You really, really need to be serious about your obligation to democracy, because I think a lot of this, Brian, will rest in how the public experiences the information; and a lot of that will be mediated still through the mainstream media.

More good exchanges follow this, including BTC iterating on Marc's statements above. The whole vid is worth watching, but IMO this segment needs to be preserved and publicized as widely as possible.

Unfortunately, I have a strong sense that at least some large media outlets - CNN being one if I had to guess, but I'd love to be wrong - will play right into the GOP narrative and "fall for it" again. I don't think they're falling for anything - perhaps being a bit conspiratorial, but I think it's more willing participation than gullibility.

I hope that some outlets will do their actual jobs as watchdog journalists, and that the false narrative is checked and countered by fact.

There's also an interaction regarding SCOTUS starting around 7:32 which is also very worthwhile watching.

Thanks again for sharing this, onetexan.

28. Excellent video - well worth watching!

Good info and reassuring as well. Thanks for posting.

29. I know that VP Harris will win. What I am afraid of is the reaction for tRump and the cult.

[onetexan]

30. We know it's coming. Just trust in our current POTUS & Dems leaders. They will do the right thing. Don't let fear grip u

I am being hopefully and joyful, and actually a bit excited given we will have the first female POTUS
