Nixon had his Rosemary Woods to delete 18 minutes of the White House voice recordings. We may never know what was said in that interval, but it might have been the smoking gun. Trumpillini's telephone to Georgia's Secretary of State demanding that he find another 11,780 votes so he could be declared the winner of the state was recorded by that state official. So was his call to the Secretary of State's chief investigator in which he fraudulently attempted to alter the outcome of the state's presidential election. This gun is not only smoking, it is still warm! There can be little doubt after this week's reporting that Individual One had corrupt intent to defeat and delay the federal election process utilizing a hair-brained scheme to create chaos by alleging non-existent voting fraud and thereby insert his electors into Congress' vote counting. This is what the NYT wrote about two campaign memos it has obtained: "[they] were used by Mr. Trump’s top lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, and others like John Eastman as they developed a strategy intended to exploit ambiguities in the Electoral Count Act", according to a person familiar with the matter. The Times goes on, "The memos were initially meant to address Mr. Trump’s challenge to the outcome in Wisconsin, but they ultimately became part of a broader conversation by members of Mr. Trump’s legal team as the president looked toward Jan. 6 and began to exert pressure on Mr. Pence to hold up certification of the Electoral College count." It is relevant to note that these memo were sent to Wisconsin two weeks before the Wisconsin vote was even certified by the state governor, and a week after the deadline for requesting a recount. Their methodology is clear: throw a monkeywrench into the machinery and see what breaks.
Trumpillini was directly involved in efforts to seize voting machines--he asked three different federal agencies, Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security to do his bidding, all of which refused--and in the of filing false certificates by supporters posing as duly appointed Electoral College delegates. As one veteran Watergate prosecutor put it, the "totality of the circumstances" undeniably demonstrate his corrupt intent to overthrow the duly elected government of the United States. This narcissistic sociopath is a clear and present danger to democracy, and should never be allowed to hold public office again.
Dear reader, have you now realized why US Person labels the GOP "repugnant"? This development should be enough explanation and justification: the RNC has declared the January 6th Insurrection, "legitimate public discourse" and censured two party members serving on the House Select Committee. The GOP has become a obstructionist gang of cranks undermining democracy, NOT a legitimate political party.
