A new tell-all book has recently revealed that disgraced ex-President Donald Trump has actually constructed a template that outlines the way to steal a presidential election that gives Republicans four years to put it into place before the next election.
Peril authors, Washington Post reporters Robert Costa and Bob Woodward, recently spoke with NPR and revealed that former Vice President Mike Pence was actually left stunned by Donald Trump’s January 5th statement proclaiming the unconstitutional plot he intended to carry out in a desperate attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“This is where you start to see the crack in the American democratic system — when the vice president and president are not in sync, and the president starts to speak for other constitutional officers,” Costa explained. “This is where Pence and his team really go into a bunker mode and they don’t even share the letter Pence ultimately releases on Jan. 6, explaining his decision to not try to do anything crazy on Jan. 6. They don’t even share it with the White House counsel or with Trump. That was the level of tension between the president and the vice president.”
Conservative legal scholar John Eastman penned the infamous “coup memo” that claimed VP Pence had the ability to and authority in his position to reject slates of electors for Joe Biden, which would ultimately throw the election to the House of Representatives. However, according to Costa, Pence wasn’t going along with it, because no alternate slate of electors existed.

“They were trying to get [vice president] Pence and others to move the election to the House of Representatives to block Biden from taking office,” Costa went on. “Imagine if in January 2025 Republicans are much more organized and they have alternate slates of electors ready in many states. What happens then?”
This is just yet another revelation that goes to show how treasonous Donald Trump truly is.
