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.

'Never before in the history of this country have we seen a president try to overturn an election. You can only be charged with treason in this country if the country is at war, but to me this seems like the closest thing you can charge to treason in peacetime.' - ges

--------------

You are whipping yourself into quite a frenzy there ges. The thing is, it is not a crime to dispute the results of an election no matter who is doing the disputing. If it were a crime then Staci Abrahams and Hillary Clinton would be in prison.

Further, the prosecutors will have to prove that Trump knew the election was fair and under that scenario some of his action could be criminal. Now, the problem is that 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.
