The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

the prosecutors will have to prove that Trump knew the election was fair and under that scenario some of his action could be criminal... there little chance that prosecutors can get inside of Trumps head and prove he did not think he was the legitimate winner. Certainly his observed behavior and rhetoric supports that belief.

Prepare to be disappointed.
-----------------------------
That is a tall order, surely. But I think Trump is up to it. There seems to be witnesses inside Trump's camp that advised him, that listened to him, that cooperated at his direction. It seems the whole thing began long before the election was over. My favorite is "we have no proof, but lots of theories" about election fraud - guess who said that? :) I might've agreed with you a few months ago, but when I see how the ExP bumbles around and shoots himself in the foot in this magic document case then anything becomes possible. Get enough witnesses and a few docs and you can build that scaffolding - executive privilege, national security, etc., - all can be penetrated if you're stupid enough. This was thrown together on the fly inside the white house and you're going to see evidence of the coercion from at least seven states - with Trump's recorded phone call, with other statements her made to witnesses.

I think there's probably more than enough.
