Short thread
1. Re the US litigation.
Were Trump to concede now the mob would be baying: & #39;See, there was no evidence of vote irregularities& #39;. If he sees it through & exposes irregularities, regardless of the quantity, it places doubt in the mind of the electorate.

2. One of the most famous litigation cases in US history rested on 1 tiny piece of evidence amongst a mountain of otherwise damning evidence: & #39;If the glove don& #39;t fit, you gotta acquit& #39;.
8 words. But enough to cast enough doubt for an acquittal.

3. It& #39;s not that the jury think the defendant is innocent, but that the reliability of the evidence is brought into doubt. If 1 small piece of evidence is wrong, everything else starts to fall away too, because trust in the establishment is blown.
4. For the avoidance of doubt, I think Trump has a mountain to climb & I don& #39;t expect a second term in office.
But if he exposes the weaknesses in the voting system, he will leave office having accomplished what he intended: to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.

5. It& #39;ll eat away at the new President& #39;s tenure. On top of the Hunter Biden scandal, the bumbling narrative & the shaky gaffs already uttered, the population will soon see an incompetent liability instead of a saviour.
6. That is Trump& #39;s leaving gift to Biden.
The media are desperate to silence the wounded but dangerous animal. They know & they& #39;re trying to shield Biden.
Censuring tweets, a ban on Bannon& #39;s account, all smack of the desperate means they& #39;ll go to to control the narrative.

7. Don& #39;t imagine for a moment that the US press don& #39;t know the fireworks in the UK were to celebrate Bonfire Night. The truth is irrelevant, pushing a story for a few hours is all that matters before lurching onto the next propaganda. Momentum is everything.
8. Run from 1 story to another before it has time to unravel & the truth emerges.
Trump is doing the same, scattering accusations left, right & centre. He has nothing to lose at this point, whereas Biden is entering Office & can& #39;t afford more sleaze.
