albaby1: It's just a silly scenario, because it requires scores (if not hundreds or more) of people all being willing to commit very serious crimes for no benefit to themselves.

I'll leave this conversation by conceding that this is a silly scenario but, then, we've never had a candidate who ran on a "retribution" platform before, either.

And until Trump, we've never had a president who refused to fulfill his constitutional duty to guarantee a peaceful transfer of power, either. Or a president involved in a fake electors conspiracy. Or a president who tried to have state election officials change votes. Or a president who walked out of the White House with hundreds of documents marked Secret, Top Secret, NOFORN, REL FVEY, TK, SI, ORCON, and HUMINT, either. Or a president who entered into a business partnership with a foreign government, either.

And your suggestion that "he didn't do it before so he won't do it again" is even sillier. He didn't have a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card from the supreme court back then and he was constrained by mostly competent White House lawyers his first go around. He won't make that mistake again.

Finally, he has already promised to pardon everyone convicted for Jan 6 and has pardoned many of his co-conspirators in the past. A president's authority to pardon is unlimited and absolute.

So, sorry, don't expect next time to be like last time.

You're making the same mistake the media are making: normalizing a narcissistic sociopath.
