bighairyguy: The thing is, it is not a crime to dispute the results of an election...

When you illegally conspire with others to remain in office through a fake electors scheme, it's a crime. Are you suggesting Clinton or Stacey Abrams (at least get her name right) conspired to send fake electors to overturn the election or did anything other than infrequently grouse about their losses?


bighairyguy: 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.

I see this argument being made and, frankly, it's silly. You don't get handed a Get Out Of Jail Free card because of what you think you know or what you believe. Or do you think a man who kills his neighbor because he believes he was sleeping with his wife is unindictable? In addition, for Trump to dispute what was "in his head," he'll have to testify and there's no way on God's Green Earth Trump is going to get on the witness stand.
