There is little doubt that he and his kids knew most of it. Although as much as they knew, it might only have been what those pulling the strings allowed them to know. They are not bright, but very useful for others and their agendas. He and his kids are too self absorbed to look too far ahead


I truly don't think we are getting out of this mess as free Americans.

....Efforts to overturn the election results were part of his presidential duties...
SOo, he/they are saying trying to overturn the election was ok?!?!



Based on that precedent, Trump’s attorneys allege that the then-president’s efforts to overturn the election results were part of his presidential duties, claiming immunity would only not apply if Trump were conducting “purely personal and purely unofficial actions."

Glenn Kirschner on discussing former twice-impeached one-term response to the grand jury.. he is making it about his followers as victims..,

Yeah, I think there is a threat of violence," said Kirschner. "In the statement that Donald Trump made -- we have seen this movie before. What did he put out a statement saying in response to [D.A. Cy] Vance's announcement that there is a special grand jury being impaneled? He said, this is an affront not to me, to my 75 million followers, supporters, voters. What is he doing? He is trying to pull them in his criminal orbit. He is sending a signal, if I get indicted, you are figuratively getting indicted. What are you going to do about that? We have seen this movie before. He did it on January 6th when he lost the election."
