Trump's Call to Raffensperger is All We Need

The hearings are good for exposing the depth of the rot, the level of corruption, but when it comes to arresting and indicting Trump, that phone conversation is a gift from the gods. It makes Nixon's "smoking gun" look like a broken cap pistol!

It usually takes about 90 days to process a Governor's Warrant. If Trump fights extradition it will take longer, and he will not receive credit for the time served in Florida awaiting extradition. If he waives extradition he can be transported back to GA much quicker and he will be entitled to credit for all time served since his arrest.

to proceed with criminal charges. Why have he had to endure his continued public criminal behavior, when any other citizen would have been charged and arrested for less.

Trump's crime being much more severe, he should've been in CUFFS two days later.
