In reply to the discussion: Trump was so desperate, stupid, he ignored he was about to lose what protected him. [View all]Jarqui
(10,920 posts)13. You look at all the legal issues Trump facing

Some compounded by what he did Jan 6th ..
The Oval Office and a corrupt AG gave him cover.
Losing them would expose him.
So he was desperate as these legal efforts closed in.
Guy loses the election in Nov 2020.
He doesn't have a lot of time nor any legal options (as the 62 election case losses proved).
Again, he's desperate with all the legal probes coming at him.
So his Hail Mary, in the wake of other failed efforts, was the Jan 6th insurrection.
He proved that there is no obvious, simple and straightforward way to overthrow the USA.
Now, he and those who enabled him need to pay a hefty price for their criminal behavior.

I agree. The naysayers confound me. Why wouldn't they celebrate being a step closer to indictment?
