MAGA diehards who were coup-crazy just a year ago claim they’ve never seen a newly published draft of the Trump executive order outlining their brazenly authoritarian blueprint. swin24, arawnsley and willsommer report:
In fact, they claim, they don’t even recognize the document, even though it mirrors the plans they once openly championed.
“I do not recognize it and neither does General [Michael] Flynn,” former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, who worked as part of the small group of Trump confidants and associates advising the then-president on seizing machines, told The Daily Beast.The stuff that Sidney [Powell] and Rudy [Giuliani] and other people were pushing then, you couldn't tell if they wrote it or if they pulled it off a weird website somewhere.
A source close to Flynn corroborated that the former Trump national security adviser is privately telling people that he doesn’t recognize the order, a document that is now figuring prominently into the U.S. House’s investigation into the deadly Jan. 6 riot and the lead-up to it. Flynn’s brother, Joseph, who acts as aspokesman for the former top Trump lieutenant, also said he “agree[s] with Mike and Pat,” and claimed not to recognize the text of the order.
, underscores a nagging mystery that investigators on the congressional Jan. 6 committee and lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been trying to solve: Who, exactly, wrote the order for Trump, and what other related schemes did the then-president, along with his aides and cronies, work to turn into reality?
“It doesn’t surprise me at all that the author of this memo isn’t coming forward. After all, that person would be buying him or herself expensive legal bills, potential embarrassment, and a lot of unwanted attention from governmental authorities,” said Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor. “If you’re engaged in questionable activities, it’s even more important to stay under the radar.
