He mentioned something like this in today's rally in Washington County, Michigan.

My ears perked up. Made me think of "it had to be this way" from Q?

He mentioned this in the context of this being a silver lining - "if everything went legit, we would have had another great 4 years but we wouldn't have seen the destruction". I took this as "if we fixed the fraud behind the scenes you would not have been awakened to the amount of corruption and how bad things really are"
