Nancy Pelosi is a very spiteful woman who hates Trump more than anything in the world. She is, at the same time, very clever and legitimately has a great deal of power that she has earned (unlike Harris, but that's a different subject), which makes her a serious threat to her enemies.
Now she has come up with a pretext to turn the power of Congress against Trump. She accuses Trump of being unstable and untrustworthy to hold the nuclear codes, assisted by the usual lies coming out of the media of how nameless (and imaginary) sources are seeing Trump lose his mind.
On paper, this is a clever attack. If you can not trust Trump with the nuclear codes, you can not simply take them away from Trump because the nation *needs* a National Command Authority with the ability to launch on warning, a time span of mere minutes. So the codes have to be given to someone else competent to use them.
This dilemma justifies an emergency session of Congress.
So far, very clever. But let's turn it up to 11. When she calls this special session, it will be a Congress that just survived a (as she will describe it) domestic terrorist attack incited by Trump. The actual details won't matter, emotions will rule the day. Almost all the Congress people will relive their day of terror and then be given a chance to take out their anger on Trump.
The ones who remain rational will also have seen the size of the crowd that was in DC on 1/6/2021 and see that Trump remains a big threat, to their career at least, if not their lives, after 1/20/2021. They will want a final solution to the threat.
Let your imagination run wild.
Know that the incoming administration will not restrain them at all, but will eagerly implement what Pelosi commands them to do. SCOTUS has already been shown to be toothless even in the best of times. Trump will have no place to run, no place to hide. And all the Democrats will applaud.
