The New Yorker’s Filkins: If Trump Contests the Election, What Happened in Lafayette Park Is a ‘Bit of a Dry Run’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FILKINS: “Yes. I talked to a lot of generals last week, and they all said pretty much the same thing, which is like, look, if we have a contested election, probably the Supreme Court will get involved once they make the call. The whole machinery of the military will kind of turn towards the legally elected president and there will be no dispute. That’s pretty convincing, but I think it’s not the whole story. I mean, I think the one general that I spoke to said he was really concerned about the following scenario, which is what if we have a close election? The outcome is in dispute or it’s really, really close and the president refuses to leave and he calls up — he calls one of the governor in a conservative state and he says send the National Guard in. You know, pick your state.”
