Would be funny if it wasn't so pitiful...

The allegation in Trump's case is not that he questioned the election, but took (allegedly) illegal steps to change the counting, certification, etc.

I understand. But while I do think there was a tremendous amount of political arm twisting and a liberal interpretation of what could be done under election law, I'm of the opinion that Trump's team tried to stay within the boundaries they felt existed.

And therein lies Trump's defense. When you have lawyers arguing about what's legal and what's not...taking advice from the group that fits your needs is illegal, according to indictments.

Yeah, but there’s a reasonable doubt hole you could drive a truck through. Bigger than a donut hole for people making $260K -$400K

I don’t think there’s any reasonable doubt about threatening Raffensberger with prosecution.

Willis Accuses Jordan Of ‘Illegal Intrusion’

Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis (D) penned a scathing letter to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) after he asked her to turn over all documents related to her prosecution of former President Trump and 18 others on charges related to election interference.

The nine-page letter at turns accuses Jordan of “offend[ing]” Constitutional principals with “your attempt to interfere with and obstruction this office’s prosecution,” suggests he buy a book on racketeering prosecution at the price offered for non-attorneys and casts her response as voluntary as “settled constitutional law clearly permits me to ignore your unjustified and illegal intrusion.”

“Your attempt to invoke congressional authority to intrude upon and interfere with an active criminal case in Georgia is flagrantly at odds with the Constitution,” Willis wrote in a letter first reported by the Atlanta Journal–Constitution and also obtained by The Hill.

“There is absolutely no support for Congress purporting to second guess or somehow supervise an ongoing Georgia criminal investigation and prosecution. That violation of Georgia’s sovereignty is offensive and will not stand.”

At another point she suggested Jordan’s letter was a “bull[ying] by members of Congress” and suggested he push to investigate threats against her.

Willis’s letter is a response to an August letter from Jordan sent just hours before Trump was set to report to a Fulton County jail.

I hope she tells him to take a shit on a plate and mails him a silver spoon.
