MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says his 'hope' is for Trump to stage military COUP to stop Biden and says he 'delivered evidence to the President that he won election 79m to 68m' during Friday meeting
Deluded MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who refuses to accept Donald Trump has lost the election, has called for a military coup following his meeting at the White House, where he was seen holding notes about martial law and the Insurrection Act.
Lindell, Trump's informal advisor who was a former crack addict-turned pillow company boss, appeared at the White House Friday afternoon for a brief meeting.
He says that he presented new theories regarding so-called election fraud, and which he has enthusiastically backed despite there being zero evidence to back up the baseless claim.
Lindell spoke about the meeting with Right Side Broadcasting, a conservative media outlet based in Alabama, in a Facebook interview Saturday and admitted he 'hopes' the heavy military presence in Washington DC is a sign Trump will use it to cling to power.
The interviewer said 'people are hoping that this military presence is a response' to election fraud.
'That’s where my hope lies,' Lindell responded.

He appeared at the White House on Friday holding notes referencing martial law and Insurrection Act. He claimed the notes were on behalf of an unnamed attorney he's been working with to 'prove' that Trump really won the presidential election
At least 25,000 National Guardsmen have been deployed to secure the Capitol for Inauguration Day on January 20, as the government braces for further unrest and protests in the wake of the January 6 riot.
In the Capitol seige hundreds of Trump supporters stormed into the Capitol building, disrupting the joint session to certify the election. Some of them were armed, clashed with police and a total of five people were killed.
'I don’t understand it. There’s like three people and every other person is a military guy,' Lindell said on the heightened security, which includes troops, non-scalable fences, and barricades.
'If it is all theatrics...I don't know. We've all had our prayers going "Gee maybe somethings gonna be done that this president is willing to say hey we’ve been attacked by another country cause we have. Our country’s been under attack for a long time,"' he said.
He hinted that Trump could use the military presence for his own advantage, but the National Guard was brought in for the safety of the Inauguration.
In the interview he revealed that in his meeting with Trump he presented what he claims to be new evidence pointing to a stolen election.
'You know I’ve been looking down every hole for election fraud since November 4th and about eight or nine days ago this proof came out. 100 percent footprints from the machines of the machine fraud,' Lindell said in the interview.
'I wanted to get it to the president. This is it. This shows that Joe Biden lost: 79 million for Donald Trump and 68 million for Joe Biden,' he added.
The notes mention 'Kraken' lawyer Sidney Powell, as well as other individuals

Lindell says Trump was 'intrigued' with his numbers.
'I said I talked to the guy. This is real. I said it’s got the IP address of the computer that it came out of. It also has the latitude and longitude like over in China this went over there came back and it shows the number of votes flipped. And he was very intrigued looking at it. . . . He goes, yeah like we all knew that right,' Lindell said.
Lindell said he shared his 'proof' of fraud and Trump asked national security advisor Robert O’Brien to take him upstars and give information to lawyers, but he left unhappy when lawyers didn’t give much reaction to his evidence.
'I left there with a very deflating feeling then all this stuff comes out on the internet because they took pictures outside. Mike Lindell wants this, he wants this – No Mike Lindell wants the truth to be told to everyone in this country and everyone in the world to show this was the biggest election fraud and theft in the history of the world,' he said.

Speaking on the notes he was snapped holding that stated the 'Insurrection Act' and 'Martial law', he said that note had been given to him by someone else to pass on to the President.
He said those topics were just a few of the thigns he spoke about with the president.
He said one thing from the list of topics that Trump was intruiged by was the suggestion that he could order Facebook and Twitter and Google to reinstate all banned accounts.
