Chris Whipple: Biden Inauguration Team Planned for Trump to Use the Military Against Them

Wallace: ‘You know you’re in trouble when doomsday planning for a possible military coup by the outgoing president ends up on your to do list’

EXCERPT:

WHIPPLE: “Well, you began — it begins with the transition. The most fraught and most dangerous transition since the Civil War, and the bloodiest as it turned out. It was absolutely extraordinary. I talked to Bob Bauer, who was the legal counsel for the transition. He’s the one who described 70 different eventualities they were preparing for, including — they stopped at 70 because that was all they could really deal with. But the most dangerous of which would have been a military coup. But while all that was going on, Nicolle, the really extraordinary thing was this untold story I came across of a Trump staffer, an obscure deputy White House chief of staff, a New Zealander who used to work for Mitt Romney. He was in charge of his transition. Wound up at the Trump White House. He wasn’t crazy about Trump. But he stayed until January 6th and beyond. And he was the guy who quietly kept the wheels of the transition turning in a kind of sub-rosa operation under Trump’s nose and without his knowledge. It’s an extraordinary story.”
