    Eh … I’m not convinced.

    We have an inexhaustible supply of real and unambiguous crimes and other offenses that we can pin on him.

    I think it unnecessarily muddies the water to even bother with something this ambiguous.

    The guy is on trial for RICO charges, and in all likelihood will see seeing a 5-year prison sentence for ORGANIZED CRIME in trying to overthrow a lawful election.

    Let’s just keep talking about that. And these fact that we have it on tape that he was asking the Georgia Secretary of State to “find” exactly the number of votes Trump needed to overturn the election he lost.

      Yeah I agree. trump is racist AF, we don’t need to strain and stretch to make him racist even in the event that he isn’t being 100% racist.

        The RICO charge carries a mandatory 5 years that can’t be pardoned and can’t be paroled. And RICO is stunningly easy to get a conviction on. It was built to catch mob bosses who directed activity but didn’t get their hands dirty.

        Until the RICO charge, I didn’t think he’d see prison either… but now… looks pretty good.
