It still seems odd to me that somehow the FBI knows he received messages and the content of the messages, but doesn’t know the sender. Maybe “unspecified” just means that the FBI hasn’t yet specified?

That’s what I thought by reading it.

Not really related to your question, but I was watching the Obama doc that msnbc released and they had a little segment on the “beer summit.” I asked my wife what the odds are that the police officer involved was part of the terrorist takeover of the Capitol. Pretty high, I would imagine.
Anyway, maybe he’ll run for Congress.
But I have it on very good authority that Trump was not attempting a coup or trying to stay in power past January 20.

Cliffs on the NY Times piece?
Que?
The Justice Department’s top leaders listened in stunned silence this month: One of their peers, they were told, had devised a plan with President Donald J. Trump to oust Jeffrey A. Rosen as acting attorney general and wield the department’s power to force Georgia state lawmakers to overturn its presidential election results.
The unassuming lawyer who worked on the plan, Jeffrey Clark, had been devising ways to cast doubt on the election results and to bolster Mr. Trump’s continuing legal battles and the pressure on Georgia politicians. Because Mr. Rosen had refused the president’s entreaties to carry out those plans, Mr. Trump was about to decide whether to fire Mr. Rosen and replace him with Mr. Clark.
The department officials, convened on a conference call, then asked each other: What will you do if Mr. Rosen is dismissed?
The answer was unanimous. They would resign.
Their informal pact ultimately helped persuade Mr. Trump to keep Mr. Rosen in place, calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of the Justice Department would eclipse any attention on his baseless accusations of voter fraud. Mr. Trump’s decision came only after Mr. Rosen and Mr. Clark made their competing cases to him in a bizarre White House meeting that two officials compared with an episode of Mr. Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” albeit one that could prompt a constitutional crisis.
The previously unknown chapter was the culmination of the president’s long-running effort to batter the Justice Department into advancing his personal agenda. He also pressed Mr. Rosen to appoint special counsels, including one who would look into Dominion Voting Systems, a maker of election equipment that Mr. Trump’s allies had falsely said was working with Venezuela to flip votes from Mr. Trump to Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Presumably this will be presented during the Senate impeachment trial along with the call to the Georgia SOS as background to the insurrection of January 6.
Presumably you read it, based on your response to Riverman. Since it’s behind a paywall, I asked for a cliffs on the story. But my man beetlejuice hooked me up so I’m now all set.

Jordan Peterson should sue him for plagiarism for also claiming to have stayed awake for weeks at a time.
Lolol ya
If the alternative to resigning is being fired the next day, then I’m not sure it makes any practical difference. Do you really want to give Preet a medal for not resigning and getting fired instead. Did it do a damn bit of good?
It’s probably a different story for the ones who aren’t political appointees and can’t just be fired at the drop of a hat. I would agree that those people would do a lot of good by resisting.
Can I be chief of staff?

This is whistle-blowing, and you will be punished for that legally and/or professionally. Their actions are somewhat rational in that sense. It’s a lot harder to get a job in America if it’s known that you are willing to talk shit about your boss, even and especially if it’s the truth.
