The lefties are acting like people are saying POTUS can legit walk up and murder someone. Which is the way theyll take advantage of in the future.

He was POTUS and federal elections integrity should fall under his purview. Also, as a candidate he should have the right to make sure things were done right. This isn't just a personal deal but a professional deal.

Uh, that's why the Department of Justice (under the Executive Branch) exists. Bill Barr investigated those claims of issues of elections integrity at the direction of Trump and found that there were none. That's an official act, and Trump hasn't been charged in any court for any official act regarding directing federal agencies (with the requisite authority) to investigate those claims.

That's different from making a call to a State Secretary of State (Raffensburger) and asking someone to find 11,000+ votes. That is not an official act, and the President has no authority (federal authority) to direct a state official to perform an act regarding the results of a state election, when he doesn't have authority over that state official or the state's elections.
