The tweet you referenced supports Trump's statement, no?

Being loyal to Trump gives no loyalty in return.

Anyone that reads the transcript of trumps call and sees anything nefarious in it is crooked


Anyone who disagreed with your opinion is "crooked"? We can't just disagree? A candidate for any political office should not be placing an ex parte phone call to the SOS asking him to reverse the certified results of a completed election. Particularly based on facts the candidate has been told are false. And the POTUS has no business interfering in a State election under any circumstances.

That phone call alone may not have been criminal, but it was certainly "nefarious".

Curious why you think that? I think they are all pretty weak, but I think the GA case is at least stronger than the DOJ case in DC.

If Fani Willis can survive the new DA review board and push the trial forward before Trump gets re-elected, I think there's a chance he will plea to something in the GA case.

Was she enrolled on his behalf?

Did she make an appearance for him?

There either was, or was not, an attorney-client relationship.

The fact he is saying there was not means that he could not prohibit her from testifying about any communications they may have had.

This is not the "gotcha" you think it is.

I very clearly remember this subject after the election. As I recall there was both criticism and confusion surrounding this. In fact there seemed to be multiple challenges from various groups that kept getting shot down but they were seen as Trump losses non the less. One of the biggest criticisms he received was due to how few official legal challenges he filed despite claims of election fraud and irregularities. She and that other goofball were never legal representatives of Trump himself.

Dude he's right though here. Trump either allied himself with or hired Jeff Sessions, Bill Barr, Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, and Michael Flynn just to name a few. All of these people he's now either feuding with, or they are under indictment for serious crimes. Give it up. The guy's a terrible leader.

Because if you read the transcript of the call it is clear that trumps thinks there are fraudulent votes and he asks the SOS to find out which ones are fraudulent. There is absolutely nothing illegal about that.

Also, unless trump signed certifying “fake electors” there is nothing there. And he didn’t. The conspiracy charge is flimsy unless you can prove he hatched and helped implement that plan. That is IF they can prove that what occurred was actually illegal under the state law. It is a very very flimsy case and clearly politically driven. Which I why it isn’t just a disagreement and it is a crooked politician using their power to prosecute a political adversary.

Bro, you’re exactly right, but that plays no role for some folks all caught up in this hysteria. But they are a minority within a minority, so ultimately they don’t mean a thing at all, yes, even as loud as they seem.

I already said that I disagree with you about the phone call. It might not be criminal, but it was highly inappropriate. Just to finish your synopsis, the SOS tild him he had already looked into the claims and Trump wasn't satisfied with that answer, and tried to convince him to decertify the election.

You don't think they can prove that Trump approved of a plan hatched by Eastman, Cheseboro, and Giuliani? I don't think that will be difficult at all.

The fake elector slate is clearly fraudulent, but it probably wouldn't be illegal on its own without the broader plan of using the fraudulent documents to delay the electoral vote count. That is ultimately the conspiracy and the goal of the RICO allegations.

Why? If he believes there were thousands of fraudulent votes in a swing state, why would asking the SOS to do his job be inappropriate?

That tweet doesn't say she's his attorney.
