January 6 Was Not A Coup

[martybegan]

I believe Trump is a Crybaby Loser who will tell any lie to avoid admitting he was badly beaten in the election

Then any opinion you have on the validity of concerns over election integrity are worthless, because you are a hack.

We’ll let’s look at the facts then

The Crybaby Loser claimed Ted Cruz cheated when he won the Iowa Caucuses

The Crybaby Loser claimed Hillary Clinton cheated when she got 3 million more votes than him

The Crybaby Loser clams that Biden cheated to get 306 EVs

What is constant about the Crybaby Loser?
He has no evidence to support his wild claims

The chance has to be greater than zero, or there is no crime.

I think the DoJ is going to prove you wrong.

The report goes beyond prior analyses to provide the first in-depth treatment of the voluminous publicly available facts and the relevant law, including possible defenses. The report reviews the evidence as to whether Trump as a matter of law conspired with his outside counsel John Eastman, administration lawyer Jeffrey Clark, and others to defraud the United States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, by scheming to block the electoral count on January 6, 2021 and to subvert the Department of Justice’s election enforcement work. We similarly review the evidence as to whether Trump and Eastman violated 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c) with their scheme to obstruct the congressional count. While this report is primarily focused on federal offenses, we also note evidence potentially probative of state criminal violations. Fulton County, Georgia is one jurisdiction currently investigating such evidence, and we briefly address the factual and legal analysis attendant to that investigation, which is also the subject of a separate report by some of the authors here.8

The politized deep state DOJ being used by progs for witch hunts?

Yep, no bias there......

What ever it was or was not, in no way was it good for our country.

It amazes me how the once proud Republican Party is willing to embrace the lies of a Crybaby Loser without question

It amazes me how the once proud (lol snicker lol) Democrat party can prop up a senile old fool and pretend he's actually in charge.

Here's part of the coup plot that never got off the ground thanks to members of the DoJ who recognized the highly unethical nature (shades of the Saturday Night Massacre) of what Trump wanted to do.

Jan. 6 panel set to dig into Trump's DOJ meddling​

Donald Trump’s bid to seize a second term that he didn’t win ran into an early obstacle: The Justice Department kept debunking his false claims of fraud. On Thursday, the Jan. 6 select committee hopes to reveal new information about that chapter of the 2020 election.

Rather than accepting his advisers’ evidence that no widespread fraud affected the outcome, Trump demanded that DOJ legitimize his subversion — and when it didn’t, he developed a plan to replace its leadership with more pliable officials. At its fifth public hearing, focused on Trump’s deployment of DOJ, the select panel also intends to show how some of his allies counted on his sweeping presidential pardon power to insulate them from potential criminal consequences.

In early January 2021, one top Justice Department official was so concerned that then-President Donald Trump might fire his acting attorney general that he drafted an email announcing he and a second top official would resign in response.

The official, Patrick Hovakimian, prepared the email announcing his own resignation and that of the department’s second-in-command, Richard Donoghue, as Trump considered axing acting attorney general Jeff Rosen. At the time, Hovakimian was an associate deputy attorney general and a senior adviser to Rosen.

The hearings has reminded me that although many Trump admin officials were negligent in not going public with what they knew about Trump's coup plot, at least they had enough of a sense of duty to the country to reject his plans.

You get a gold star for today's most specious analogy.

That seems to be a common reaction by Trumpleton's when faced with evidence of Don's criminality. You, without substantiation, make contrived accusations about the investigators. Why? Because you can't dispute the evidence.

The accusations are not contrived they are fact based. You ignore facts and make up your own.

 

[Care4all]

Bottom line, there was no insurrection, no coup, or attempted coup….Just a relatively small group of idiots that broke the law, like Colberts group…Difference is, Colberts group got to go home the next morning…

You're clueless, and purposely keeping yourself ignorant of the facts being brought out in the hearings.

Most of the rioters were clueless too, as to Trump's plans....they only knew he wanted them to go to the capitol and fight like hell, or they wouldn't have a country anymore.

They were mostly unaware of the illegal conspiracy Trump and his minions including administration members and members of Congress and CORRUPTED republican legislatures in the states and Trump outside lawyers and Trumpers in the DOJ, all contributed and participated in trumps illegal SELF COUP.

You can't prove either assertion. For example, what's not factual about this.......

Not to mention the fact that the Crybaby Loser claimed the freakin' EMMYS were rigged against him.

And the cult STILL defends this scam artist. They can't admit they've been HAD.

Colbert's crew's incursion into the capital was worse than 9-11, Pearl Harbor and Hillary in a negligee

 

[berg80]

That plays in to a lot of it. It's like a rube being taken in a card game. Pride gets in the way and they just can't admit they got swindled by a pro. In that sense they shouldn't feel too bad because Don is a truly great conman. Has been his whole life. Unfortunately for the rest of us, their gullibility has caused enormously damaging consequences for the country.
