If optimism regarding this assassination plot is merited, it would be because:

1. We have already witnessed the spectacle of no member of the Senate, including Tim Kaine, and the Chair, Biden, daring to join in the plot to decertify the election. Thinking about this, the logical conclusion, in this observer's view, is that the Army made clear to each and every Senator and the VP that interference with the election process would not be tolerated. Voting is the essence of any non-totalitarian system, and the Army understands this, therefore any person interfering to install a different result would be a "domestic enemy". Also, there is no prisoner-of-war convention regarding domestic enemies of the State engaging in a revolt, and the expected treatment for any such person would be the same as that experienced by German infiltrators at Bastogne who wore US uniforms. The similarity is that these operatives are posing as Americans while supporting treason. While the US justice system is "weasleable", military justice is swift and certain: a firing squad or hanging. This observer would be happy to listen to any other explanation of this phenomenon.

2. Assuming the Army did "read the riot act" (which they are VERY expert in doing, just ask about their BENO briefings for celebrations, where participants are told "THERE WILL BE NO (THIS) AND THERE WILL BE NO (THAT)", assuming this inference is true, it seems logical that the Army is now in the process of repeating this warning procedure with the CIA. Since by report they used the threat of a nuclear detonation to stop the CIA connection on the centralized voting server, it would appear the gloves are off. I would think it possible that every member of the CIA is being personally informed by telephone, by email, or in person, and if necessary it is being made clear that the Army has their home addresses and knows their bank accounts.

3. One strong incentive for the Army to interfere is their understanding that following an overt totalitarian takeover, there would be a bloody purge of the military. A good example is Stalin's purge, in which all officers above the rank of Captain were killed. Our armed forces have instituted education programs for their officer corps, the corps is well aware of this. And if you think military officers cannot imagine this course of events, think again, a military career, its essence, is fathoming scenarios and being prepared for them.

4. This observer has only inference, and a 20-year military career, but not evidence except what is cited above, to believe this. PLEASE POST if anyone can add to this or dispute it.
