It's not even a criminal conspiracy though, Trump was asking for legal advice on how to have the ballots recounted after the VP refused to authorize it himself. Asking for legal advice isn't an admission of guilt or a conspiracy. Yet the Democrats want to paint it as that because they've been trying to pin anything on Trump to get him out of the election race. They want to remove him so they can continue the narrative of them winning the election fairly, by removing the most popular competition. Now does that seem legal or right? If it doesn't, then you should start looking a little bit further into this court case and see exactly how messed up this kangaroo court case really is going.

@@cherriberri8373 There's a big difference legally. It annoys me but police and law enforcement tend to have a much harder time getting threats to go to court assuming they get that far. Have had family problems before and something physical has to happen, usually even with people who have a history of violence. Those they do take, due to police being able to intervene and press charges for victims of domestic violence, usually don't get charged with anything by the courts.

Which is why you see that the count can change during recounts, if there was no possibility of an error, why even have recounts? But the errors are so low, that states have determined cut offs for recounts based on the likelihood that errors could have changed the outcome and these are LOW. Most states do auto-recounts only if there is a tie or there was only a difference between candidates of 0.5% - half of a percent!

Having heard that "perfect phonecall" so many times by now, I can never quite get past that bit where he has "which is one more [vote] than we have". It just seems so perfectly emblematic of the whole thing for me. Trump is so thick and has such little capacity to actually plan that, by the letter of what he said, he was still asking to have one vote defrauded. Assuming he said exactly what he meant, he just admitted he lost by one vote and he wanted that flipped. But his behaviour is so erratic and foolish that we all know innately that he was just talking cleanly out of his ass and made a mistake and should have said one less than we had. But then at that stage, if he's straight up lying about having even won, why have it by such a narrow margin? Why win by one vote when you can take 100%? Even assuming this was a mistake, and not him outright admitting that he's trying to fake the votes, why lie about having such a narrow margin? How would you even know such a thing? It's just such a completely bizarre line for him to have even added. It's the purest distillation of Trump's complete lack of impulse control and forethought, the complete embodiment of his blind thirst for power at the expense of all else.

To be fair, the state AG is clearly chasing the media. There is a stark difference between the federal indictment by Jack Smith, which was very clear, structured, concise and to the point, and the state indictment, which is all over the place. One of the reasons why right wing pundits are conflating overt acts and actual crimes is that the indictment does not differenciate between them as it should. I mean, of course bad faith actors would complain anyway, but the state indictment made it really easy for them.

@@cheehee808_ Biden was nobody's favorite candidate, but saying he's as bad as Trump is a long stretch. Trump instigated an insurrection, has blatantly excused overt racism (Charlottesville), massively bungled Hurricane Maria's relief efforts in Puerto Rico, has continued undermining American democracy, and the list goes on. Joe Biden's worst sins are having an idiot for a son and supporting terrible crime laws.

The thing is, they probably wanted to... but might not have had a very strong case if they did. By waiting and gathering evidence, they give themselves a better chance of not only charging Trump and his conspirators, but successfully getting a conviction (and by extent, some small measure of justice).
@MariaMartinez-researcher 10 ай бұрын
Considering the events of January 6, I think they wished with all their hearts that Trump would finally go home and stay put. I think they were willing to forget everything and just let the whole thing die quietly. But Trump started campaigning again. So now is a race against time and voters' apathy to try to prevent a second Trump period. (How is it that the largest party in the USA is the "I don't care about voting" one? How is it the USA has no law forbidding a convicted felon from running for office - and exerting it - but somehow gives a person in office immunity against prosecution?) All of which because it's clear that if there is a second time, he won't leave office no matter what.

Georgia takes a special grand jury and a regular grand jury its a long process
@ginnyjollykidd 10 ай бұрын
When a person is charged with a crime, they can only be held so long. Trump wasn't going to flee the country, and he does everything he can to stay in the spotlight. He wasn't a flight risk. This way he wouldn't finagle his way out of custody before evidence could be brought to the grand jury. Discovery of evidence took this past several years because there was a gargantuan amount of material to sift through. It was easier to prosecute the so-called Q Anon "shaman" with the ridiculous, tasteless, and truly insulting fur headdress. There was blatant, visible evidence of his crimes that he couldn't deny if he had the slightest chance. Donald Trump is slipperier. He used many wiggle words and implications so that no one could pin him down because of First Amendment Speech rights. And he's good at it. That's one reason why impeachment didn't work. The only thing that could work against him was evidence that he did things besides talk in theoreticals that were crimes. Thus, RICO.
