A curious tale indeed. I followed a link or two to try and find the Project Veritas video and I came to this: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...-fraud-scheme/
The ideology of the accused seems confusing:

True. After running it live they ran selected parts...they did not repeat the parts where Trump calls for peaceful protest. You would probably do the same, if you wanted to support the lie that he incited a breach, and should be impeached, is crazy dangerous, and should have the football taken from him |

Workers preparing for next week’s inauguration have hung “2021 Biden-Harris Inauguration“ bunting on the audience stands. Some of this is visible from Donald Trump’s temporary quarters in the White House; his check-out time is noon Wednesday.
One wonders what ratio of ‘Q’ dolts and other assorted Trump cultists will realize they’ve been had when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are sworn in, and Trump becomes a private citizen, no longer able to funnel tax dollars into his properties and liable to prosecution on a variety of state and possibly federal charges. No EBS proclamations of martial law, no mass arrests of his critics; Hilary Clinton remains a retired grandmother enjoying her liberty; the Presidential Twitter feed talks boringly, during normal working hours, of American unity and policy issues. No Storm, but rather, “ Partly sunny, with a high near 49.” Mike Pence, rather than swinging from a gibbet erected by Trump fans, will applaud politely while Biden swears to uphold the Constitution. And Donald Trump will rage impotently in front of a TV somewhere, but no one will care. So, again, at that point, what ratio of Trump’s marks will finally see they’ve been conned? What ratio of the ‘Q’ true believers will realize they’ve fallen for a particularly insipid metastasized 4chan troll? One in a thousand? I’m an optimist: I say one in a hundred. |

Doesn't matter what they showed later on the teevee.
Only matters what the thousands of idiots in front of him heard. Trumpistas have selective hearing. There are dozens of videos of the attack on the Capitol where you can hear the refrain, "We were invited here." Trump is a traitor to the United States of America, and a disgrace. |

If you're asking if i believe that Trump really is going to fire a few nukes before he leaves office on Wednesday, I think it's highly unlikely.
If you're asking whether Pelosi could legitimately be sufficiently concerned about the possibility to jusify trying to get the codes out of his hands, certainly. This is a man who's been trying to overturn a legitimate election for the last two months and just provoked an attempted insurrection after all.

Another insurrectionist arrested for attacking the Capitol and attempting to overthrow democracy - an avowed white supremacist and Nazi sympathizer:
“Prior to traveling to the rally and protest on January 6, 2021, Hale-Cusanelli wrote ‘Trust the plan, it’s the final countdown, stay tuned next episode,’ and ‘Trust the plan, major announcement soon.’” One of Trump’s “very fine people”, whom Trump said he “loved” during the insurrection. I’m sure he’s still trusting the plan, and will continue to do so when Biden takes the oath of office in about 70 hours. |

If you mean literally fire a few nukes...that's not going to happen. If you mean "fire a few nukes" symbolically, as in pardon Assange, Snowdon, and every violent murderer in prison in the blue states, declassify all the top secret files from every government agency and branch of government going back at least as far as WW2, publish Jeffrey Epstein's personal hidden camera video collection on the web and index it so we can easily search for names, etc.....that's not going to happen either. But that would be totally awesome if it did,

This is confusing. It starts with a white campaign woman helping an elderly lady fill out the ballot. She points out that she voted for one Republican for Senate when she had said she was trying to vote for all Democrats. The woman asks if she can do that. The campaign woman says that she can vote for whomever she wants, but if her intention was to vote for all Democrats that isn't what she did. The woman says that she does want to vote for all Democrats. The campaign woman then show her how to correct her ballot to change her vote to the Democrat.
Then it jump cuts to a black woman talking in a car about how telling people how to vote is illegal. It is not clear who this is or if the was a person working for Project Veritas and recording the video. Then we are back to the elderly woman and we see an arm of a black woman who gives her a shawl. It isn't clear why. It isn't clear is the previous white woman was even still there. Oddly, there is no video of any sort of offer to give her a shawl for voting or voting a certain way. There is no context. Then we are back to the black woman in the again saying how this is illegal. Then we go to what appears to be another woman with a slight Spanish accent talking to some guy saying she is doing illegal voting stuff. I guess that is Rodriguez, the woman who has been arrested. But I can't figure out who is actually who or what was actually going on. After the video was released, Rodriguez had said that she was lying to the guy because she was trying to figure out what he was up to. Switching votes for all Democrats expect Garza is not consistent with what we saw earlier in the video when the campaign worker was helping the woman vote for all Democrats. And switching votes for just Garza seems a bit odd. He lost 135K to 90K. Almost a 2-1 loss. It wasn't even close. Seems like a strange circumstance to engage in major election fraud. This doesn't make much sense and many things seem wrong here. |

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but....
Trump supporter arrested for stealing Pelosi's laptop, and is alleged to have been trying to sell the data to Russia. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-55711200 Now, Bubba, when you said Trump had it, were you wrong (again) about that, or is your master a traitor too? He is, by your own admission, already guilty of receiving stolen property. Shall we add treason and espionage to the list? |
