17. It was a contingency plan, just in case - but nobody thought the military would go along with it

In fact the US military from the Joint Chiefs on down HATED Chump and they couldn't wait to be rid of him.

Let's realize that Chump is no Mussolini, and he's no Hitler. Chump isn't even a Putin. The only bargaining chip he had left in his arsenal on January 6th, 2021 was the screaming mob that stood outside the Capitol building. January 6th was never going to be a successful coup. Certainly not with military participation of any kind.

I do want to read this book when it comes out because it seems that Chris Whipple put a lot of time into researching it. It sounds like some good background info is in this book.
