Trump should "fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people. … And when the courts stop you, stand before the country and say, 'The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.' … We're going to have to get pretty wild and pretty far out there and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with." … Extra-constitutional "is exactly right."
Bannon:
"And what Trump's going to do is just declare victory. Right? He's going to declare victory. That doesn't mean he's the winner, he's just going to say he's the winner. [Democrats are] going to have a natural disadvantage [from absentee ballots] and Trump's going to take advantage of it — that's our strategy. He's going to declare himself a winner."
USA v. Trump:
"They also told the defendant that the initial returns on election night might be misleading—that is, that he might take an early lead in the vote count that would diminish as mail-in ballots were counted because his own supporters favored in-person voting, while supporters of his opponent, Joseph R. Biden, favored mail-in ballots. Privately, [Trump] told advisors … that in such a scenario, he would simply declare victory before all the ballots were counted and any winner was projected."
Flynn:
"Within the swing states, if he wanted to, he could take the military capabilities and he could place them in those states and basically rerun an election in each of those states … People out there talk about martial law like it's something that we've never done. Martial law has been instituted 64 times."
This is what we're scared of. Trump and his friends openly advocate for violating the Constitution, ignoring the will of the people, and turning the US into a dictatorship, and they have a bunch of allies in the government willing to let him get away with anything he wants. I've never been more scared about the future of our Republic than I am now.
"Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution."
"Then, I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president"
"I have the absolute right to PARDON myself."
Hannity: "Under no circumstances, you are promising America tonight, you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?"
Trump: "Except for day one."
"He says, 'You're not going to be a dictator, are you?' I said: 'No, no, no, other than day one. … After that, I'm not a dictator.'"
"You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. It'll be fixed; it'll be fine; you won't have to vote anymore."
"You won't have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won't have to vote."
"We have some very bad people. We have some sick people—radical left lunatics. And I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, National Guard or if really necessary by the military."
"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. … That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak"
"WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again … this … extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels … never seen before in our Country."
"By the way, and if [Clinton] gets to pick — if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know." [Encouraging her assassination?]
"We'll stand up to crazy Nancy Pelosi … how's her husband doing, anybody know?" [After her husband was attacked in his home by a Trump supporter who broke in]
"I'm just not going to leave … We're never leaving … How can you leave when you won an election?"
"I don't f**king care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. They can march to the Capitol from here."
