8. The case revolves around one point

Are illegal actions taken to overturn an election that you lost "official acts"?

No one's arguing that a lot of the stupid shit Trump did were official acts. Case in point: the deal Trump cut with the Taliban to end the Afghan War. While it was clearly the wrong way to run a railroad, it was an official act.

On the other hand, getting together a few thousand of your friends to attack the Capitol during the vote-certification process, causing slates of fake electors to be convened, making a "perfect phone call" - Trump's version of Eric Cartman singing a song about how bad he hates Kyle's mom; that never came out well - to overturn the Georgia election, or any of the other illegal things he did were NOT official acts, and can't be treated as such.
