And incompetent, not fit for office.

If he says he didn't know or remember, he is weak and incompetent.

If he wants people to believe the plan for the coup went on all around him, and would benefit him but without his knowledge or understanding, he's boxed in as unfit for office or a liar.

Pence has the same electability issue, he went along until he finally relealized he would be the patsy if it did not work out, so he bailed. He did nothing until the last minutes. After all was said and done the idiot said he would vote for him again!

legally speaking ... the asshole has anything else in the way of an argument that'll even MAYBE stand up in court.

And I guarantee you that avoiding prison is a higher priority to him than his electability.

In fact, the only reason he's running now is because he thinks it'll help him avoid accountability.

Dude will sell out EVERYONE, and easily stipulate to being gullible ... in order to save his bacon when the chips are down.

This why they are all over the TV screaming about trump is being attacked by a witch hunt. They are trying to prove they'll stand up for him, so he won't air their dirt.

He is the head of a criminal organization who willingly followed HIS orders in order to stay in power.
