If one of your acts is "he tried to change the outcome of an election by telling people to watch the news" then the rest of the acts are, necessarily, worth less than toilet paper.

No that doesn't follow. You can only make conclusions about that one act.

And the conclusion by the prosecutor is it was an over act in the furtherance of the conspiracy. I tend to agree. This wasn't legal lying about the outcome of the election. It was lying with a view to bringing people to the capital on Jan 6 to disrupt the process of accepting the electoral college votes, and to threaten Mike Pence and the members of the house of representatives.

This is lawfare and you are a victim of it.

It's illegal to try to overthrow the election. If you've made a conspiracy to overthrow the election, acts in furtherance of that conspiracy are also illegal.

And you like it.

I like to see the law applied. I especially like to see state law applied, because it is beyond the reach of the presidential power of pardon.

I make conclusions about all of it because it is a partisan hatchet job but you can't see it through your haterade-fueled nonsense.

If you like to see the law applied then you'll be happy to see the Georgia DA impeached and removed from office for malicious persecution

Then your motivation is as patchy as your logic.

Faking electors and forging the documents is obviously an illegal way to try to win an election. Trump also breached voting machines, pressured officials and election workers in an attempt to get them to make false statements that would bring into question the results, and pressured officials in an attempt to get them to change the votes tallies.

I don't understand why you think those things are legal, they're not.

My logic is unassailable, and this is a partisan hatchet job
