Call to avoid questions! That was hysterical when the reporter said "hey I can see your phone and I know just by looking at it there's no one on the line."

when copies were sent to the National Archives. Fast forward to the Michigan SOS having to send DOJ a criminal referral for the fake electors in her state. A couple of months after that Lisa Monaco gives a statement that DOJ is looking into the fake electors.

When I complain people tell me stories about ducks in a row, so I am just as curious as you are.

I've tried to separate in mind what he was actually found guilty of from what's outstanding.


OUSTANDING
This elector fraud,
Trump org criminal,
Trump family civil,
Doc stealing,
Election influencing fraud in GA,
Rape defamation.

What am I forgetting?


GOT AWAY WITH
Guess he got away with ..

Abetting Russian election influence,

Emoluments

inauguration misappropriation travesties.

Hiding covid and purposely withholding PPE from doctors and nurses ( house committee concluded true)

insider trading.

What am I forgetting?

Treason is a serious violation of norms, to be sure. RoJo should be in Leavenworth along with every repuglian in Congress who voted not to certify 2020 election. Sure would make a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in both houses today. Why we don’t, I attribute to political cowardice more than political malpractice.
