The part where they planned it BEFORE the election if he lost, is a problem.



He said they were going to steal the election. Wouldn't you plan a procedural challenge if you knew that was going to happen?

Moreover, wasn’t he bound by the Constitution to do exactly that if he felt there were election irregularities?

I missed this earlier.

Trump's avenue, as President, to solve this problem was the DOJ and filing lawsuits and investigating criminal activities.

Now Trump as a private person had many more options at his disposal, but those are private and not official duties.

That wasn't his only avenue.

Horsesh*t, and WHO again gets to decide what is official and private duties?

You still haven’t answered the question

You have implied it’s a petite jury.

Which is insane

What was? And what constitutional provision or Congressional law creates that avenue?

Wasn't Cruz going to object until the "insurrection" happened?

If this scheme with Pence was legal, Trump's legal avenue was to pull an LBJ and persuade Pence. What does a rally have anything to do with Mike Pence?
The same thing reinforcing actions would have on Willis-Wade witnesses who were too cowed to come forward w/o encouragement. Sometimes "timid" folks need a little nudge.

Where is forming rallies found in the enumerated powers of the Executive in the Constitution?
If this case is decided on the limited basis of the rally/protest, Trump will lose. Haven't we trodden that ground already?

The loophole in EC procedures allowing for Pence to leave elector envelopes unopened. Should you doubt the loophole was legally available, you should look into the "Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022" which was required to close it.

Clarifying procedure doesn't imply a loophole ever existed.

That's literally conspiracy theorist logic

Without commenting on the merits of whether this activity is criminal, it's difficult to argue that promoting a political rally to support him is an official duty of the President


You think that was what his Jan 6 speech was?

That's nuts. Giving a speech to the people regarding an alleged fraudulent election is 100% an official duty of the president.
