Why'd DJT want to break apart NSA and Cyber Command

Lost in the fire hose of information, I overlooked the part where Putin's puppet attempted to split U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency.

Can someone smarter than me speculate what the assholes were up to with this prong of their plan to overthrow the US government?

"There's the firing of Esper right after the election, there's the installation of this cadre of political appointees around (acting Secretary of Defense Chris) Miller there, there's the rush for the exit in Afghanistan," Edelman said, also citing a reported attempt by the Trump administration to split U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency last month as well as Trump's controversial call with Georgia's secretary of state on Saturday.



They wanted finer control over Cyber, TO DO WHAT?

I think the traitors plotted to do this between Joe Biden's victory and Joe Biden's inauguration?

But Rachel Maddow mentioned something about cyber technology when she was talking about the cutting of cables cables in the Ukraine. Could he be trying to sabotage the U.S. in that way?

Maybe the traitors wanted to use cyber to plant fake evidence that those nation states did, in fact, manipulate vote numbers in battleground US states?

I mean, none of that was true, but they wanted MAGAts to believe it.

Use a fake cyber attack on a nuclear power plant or gasline to claim martial law?

WTF were they hoping to do?

Memo circulated among Trump allies advocated using NSA data in attempt to prove election fraud

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216315714

President Donald Trump should invoke the extraordinary powers of the National Security Agency and Defense Department to sift through raw electronic communications in an attempt to show that foreign powers had intervened in the 2020 election to help Joe Biden win.

This is from another DU post from today, Thurs. Feb 3 2022

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216315714

DJT conspired to invoke powers of the NSA to sift electronic communications to show foreign powers had intervened in the 2020 election to help Biden win.

Stuff I copies from the Feb 3 DU post:

The memo used the banal language of government bureaucracy, but the proposal it advocated was extreme: President Donald Trump should invoke the extraordinary powers of the National Security Agency and Defense Department to sift through raw electronic communications in an attempt to show that foreign powers had intervened in the 2020 election to help Joe Biden win.

Proof of foreign interference would “support next steps to defend the Constitution in a manner superior to current civilian-only judicial remedies,” argued the Dec. 18, 2020, memo, which was circulated among Trump allies.

The document, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post, laid out a plan for the president to appoint three men to lead this effort. One was a lawyer attached to a military intelligence unit; another was a veteran of the military who had been let go from his National Security Council job after claiming that Trump was under attack by deep-state forces including “globalists” and “Islamists.”

The third was a failed Republican congressional candidate, Michael Del Rosso, who sent a copy of the memo to Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who confirmed to The Post he received the document from Del Rosso. An aide to Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) also said his office received the document but declined to say who sent it. Del Rosso did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
