[BidenPresident]

The lawyer, William J. Olson, was promoting several extreme ideas to the president. Mr. Olson later conceded some of them could be regarded as tantamount to declaring “martial law” and could even invite comparisons with Watergate. The plan included tampering with the Justice Department and firing the acting attorney general, according to the Dec. 28 memo by Mr. Olson, titled “Preserving Constitutional Order,” describing their discussions.

Read William J. Olson’s Memo to Trump

You have a duty to prevent this electoral fraud on the American People. The fact
you were a candidate in the race may complicate the matter, but your duty is to ensure
the election was not stolen exists nevertheless. Itis no understatement to say that the very
existence of our Constitutional Republic is slipping away that which was entrusted to
our generation by the Founders and each succeeding generation unless you act, and act
promptly In short form, respectfully , here is what must be done.

The Office of White House Counsel has failed the Office of the President. That
office can be expected to not just to fail to offer solutions , but also to refuse to follow your
orders and even interpose roadblocks . Therefore , I would urge you recruit and appoint Kurt and Olsen a lawyer in Washington D.C., in whatever capacity may seem
appropriate .
