'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.
