This really does seem to be a catch 22, damned if he does or doesn't. On one hand, he can walk away, try to set up a news network or file suits all over the place on every level since he was personally harmed, hold rallies, and just be a general nuisance, but the threat of being hounded now by perpetual lawsuits against him tying him up in court, seizing or freezing assets possibly. Who knows what would happen with the PTB now back to full control of the POTUS, House, and law enforcement and alphabet agencies? Very dangerous for him to step away. And, on top of that, he would be shirking his duties and letting an illegal coup take place, failing America and her citizens.
On the other hand, he could declare temporary martial law. What is power without exercising it? It's legal, it is his duty, and it protects him in the short term; though it opens him up to danger in other ways. He's in a bind, but he has already taken up this mantle and should see it through, OSIT.
The real critical element is how it, ML, is brought into play and the exit strategy. Gather the evidence, quell the insurrection, gather up key players, present evidence to the courts and turn off the emergency sirens so courts can review without duress? I don't know. Or we get Biden/Kamala and brace for impact either way. Things are heating up and the martial law option is more interesting OSIT. No easy answers.
