Kristol then took to Twitter on Wednesday to sound the alarm about Trump’s violent end to the year of years.
Shockingly, not shockingly, Kristol’s cockamamie conspiracy is based on 2nd and 3rd hand hearsay.
Evidence be damned, Bill Kristol tweeted that President Trump’s firing of Attorney General William Barr possibly foreshadows a…
Xmas Eve Coup d’etat
1. This thread is based on recent conversations with people whose information and judgment I trust, who in turn have spoken candidly with Trump appointees still on the inside.
Here's a question: Why did Trump and Barr, when they negotiated Barr's departure, settle on Dec. 23?

3. One obvious possibility discussed in the White House: Trump has spoken about a bunch of pardons on Christmas Eve. Some of the names may have been too much for Barr–so they agreed on his departure on Dec. 23.

5. …ranging from appointing special counsels for Hunter Biden or election fraud, to giving a legal ok for seizing voting machines or for various types of Insurrection Act-type moves by the president. Can one be confident Barr's successor as AG, Jeffrey Rosen, will also say no?

7. In the past, Rosen has been allied with some in the White House counsel's office and others elsewhere in the White House who've been for going whole hog for Trump, as a friend put it. They've run up against resistance from Barr but also from WH Counsel Pat Cipollone.

9. I'm also reliably told senior military officials in the Pentagon are more, not less, alarmed than they were a few weeks ago when Mark Esper was fired. The new crew of Trump loyalists in the most senior civilian positions don't seem there only to burnish their resumes, as…

11. …more sober and weighty than those of 1974 in the weeks before Nixon's resignation. And the difference is that Jim Schlesinger was then Secretary of Defense, committed to checking an unstable and desperate president, not to helping one.

13. The first thing to look for is what, if anything, happens on Dec. 24.

Since CNN Couldn’t, Maybe Bill Kristol Could
Just last week we reported on CNN shrieking that according to a source, who wasn’t there but talked to someone who talked to someone supposedly in the room.
President Trump oversaw a White House meeting in which according to the Clown News Network’s source, of a source, of a source, declaring Martial Law was discussed.
In that article, TuskerDaily asked CNN one simple question, which they never responded, but hopefully, Bill Kristol will:
What military leader and/or branch of service is on board with Donald Trump overthrowing the American government?
One would think at least one of these dimwits would have had sense enough to ask this vitally important question.
After all, it’ll be just a wee bit hard for Donald Trump to take over America by himself.
But despite the absolute absurdity of CNN’s ‘Is Trump Planning To Invoke Martial Law?’ to now Bill Kristol’s Trump’s planning a Christmas Eve Coup d’etat hysterics…
The Twittering Twits Believe
After witnessing the hysteria running amok on Twitter over these past four years.
It came as no surprise to see more than a few unhinged liberals taking this latest Trump idiocy, seriously.
Among them were Vox’s Aaron Rupar, CNN contributor Julian Zelizer, and David Corn.
Corn BTW holds the dubious honor of being the first news editor to write up the ‘Steele Dossier’ – the debunked flaming pile of anti-Trump poop that helped the Democrats kickstart the ‘Russiagate’ investigation.

In this thread, @BillKristol ponders a Christmas coup—or something worse than we’ve already seen. https://t.co/VB2h5mNUZX

Chilling thread from @BillKristol. So has POTUS found his Robert Bork? https://t.co/c3GFQ9i1UV

Feelings Aren’t Facts
Every single time the #resistance starts to spew their latest, greatest Trump-hate conspiracy, you can be assured of two things:
#1 Facts take a back seat to reality.
#2- No matter how many times you’ve been proven wrong in the past, the mob will still believe you.
Something that journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out in his tweet:
“It is genuinely astonishing that after all these years, and all the outright lies Kristol has told, that gullible people treat his claims about secret conversations he had with anonymous sources — ones which *always* perfectly coincide with his political agenda — as credible,” .
