Okay, this is actually getting really scary.

According to the Bulwark, a Trump attorney has said that the fired Trump cybersecurity chief, Chris Krebs, should be executed, for stating that the election was the “most secure in United States history.” Chris Krebs’ job was to ensure a secure election. He said he did his job well. He got fired. Now someone close to Trump says Krebs should be executed and that is terrifying. That is Saddam talk … and action.

The Bulwark states:

DiGenova, appearing on the Howie Carr show, which simulcasts on Newsmax, took aim at Krebs ... “Anybody who thinks the election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity [for Trump]. That guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot,” diGenova said.

The Bulwark notes this isn’t some idiot on Parler. This is Trump’s attorney. The Bulwark does a bit different (and excellent) analysis but we’re going to go another direction.

Look at the bolded parts above, “Anyone who thinks this election went well, [should be executed.]”

This fits a word that has been developed under Trump (not something we came up with, Google has it), “stochastic terrorism.” We had to look it up and sort of study it a few times to understand the true meaning. Boiled down, it means if you throw enough “just talk” out there, someone random from those Parler pages will decide that this man should be executed and do it. Or it will be done to someone else who believes this election went well. Or something happens in another place due to a different thing Trump said or someone around him.

The point is if one really pinned diGenova down and said, “We are ready to execute him in the morning, shot like the old west.” diGenova would say, oh, well I wasn’t really saying he should be shot.

No, he really did. He just didn’t say who would do the shooting or that it would be ordered by the government.

The Trump crowd wants officials to feel the intimidation and feel the fear. They get death threats. Now Krebs will get more death threats. At some point, if the Trump crowd says enough with increasing seriousness, the cult is such that someone will be killed. And the people who are doing the work against Trump surely feel the danger. Trump wants that. He has likely been taught that this is a tactic used by fascists. Fear. If you want to control people make them afraid. People will give up near every freedom they have in order to feel safe because fear defeats all character but courage.

Will Krebs be shot and killed by a Trumper? Probably not. Dear God, we hope not. Will someone, somewhere, who continues to just do their job eventually get killed if they keep this up? Certainly. That’s the point. Will people doing their jobs feel that fear before and after? Yes.  Only their courage and commitment keeps them doing their jobs.

Stochastic terrorism. It is a word everyone should understand and look for in Trumps’ clan’s statements. They aren’t hard to spot.

We might as well throw in that diGenova is now also calling for what we’ve predicted all along:

In addition to threatening Krebs, over the course of the interview diGenova made ominous and false suggestions about “circuit breakers” shutting down on election night in multiple states, which allowed for vote fraud; millions of votes showing up in dump trucks, tow trucks, and vans without detection; and he called on state legislatures to have the “cojones” to overturn the results of the election.

Each one of these states has a strong Republican majority. It is a monument to gerrymandering that the states can vote Democratic and yet have a super-majority Republican legislature. We have said since August this was the last step. There is no evidence for the claims above. It is all about the “cajones,” you know what we mean? Yes, you do, see above.
