Brooks Brother Riots and January 6

[sealybobo]

I'm sure you have heard me compare the Jan 6 insurrection to the Brooks Brother Riots in 2000 where Republicans got the Florida recount stopped by starting a riot and then the Supreme Court gave it to Bush. Roger Stone was involved in both riots. A guy Trump pardoned? Interesting to say the least.

Anyways, in reading the evidence against Trump I saw this:

Wednesday’s expansive filing laid out in detail the arguments and evidence that federal prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial. Some of that evidence does not appear to have been previously reported.

For example, the filing said that on Nov. 4, 2020, a campaign employee and Trump “co-conspirator” tried to sow confusion about the vote count that was underway at the TCF Center in Detroit, which “looked unfavorable to” Trump.

The filing said that when the co-conspirator was told that a batch of votes appeared to be heavily in favor of Biden, he replied, “find a reason it isn’t,” so as to “give me options to file litigation,” adding, “even if it [is].”

When a colleague suggested to the co-conspirator that this could risk creating a scene reminiscent of the so-called “Brooks Brothers Riot” — an infamous bid to interfere with Florida’s vote-counting effort in the 2000 presidential election — the co-conspirator “responded, ‘Make them riot’ and ‘Do it!!!,’” according to the filing.

The other day it dawned on me Trump stole Michigan in 2016. Remember he called Georgia and said find me 11,000 votes? He won MI by 10,600 votes. Rick Snyder, who now won't endorse Trump, did it and in exchange his boss' wife Betsy Devos got to run the Department of Education.

And interestingly. She stayed with Trump all the way until Jan 6. She quit him because of Jan 6. And now she and Snyder are endorsing Kamala. Think about this.

Like I said, people don't seem to be able to put two and two together nowadays.

Why the ‘Brooks Brothers riot’ of 2000 inspired Trump’s campaign operative in 2020​

“Make them riot,” a Donald Trump campaign operative said the day after Election Day in 2020, when Trump supporters were converging on the massive vote counting center in Detroit as votes were being counted. “Do it!!!” the operative added.

The request for a “riot” was similar to efforts in other swing states by Trump’s campaign in 2020, according to newly unsealed allegations filed by special counsel Jack Smith in federal court in Washington, DC.

It also echoes through the last 25 years of American politics, since the Trump operative, identified only as Person 5, had been warned there could be unrest reminiscent of the infamous “Brooks Brothers riot” that helped stop a recount in Miami-Dade County weeks after Election Day in 2000.


That 2000 episode looms large in the memory of people who lived through the election of hanging chads – perhaps in part because it has the benefit of a catchy nickname, which was meant to impart that the well-dressed Republican operatives were part of an army of lawyers and staffers that flooded into Florida. They were dressed supposedly in clothes from Brooks Brothers rather than whatever people in Miami might have been wearing at the time.
