Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who faces federal and state charges for allegedly trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden, insists he had "every right" to interfere in the election.
"Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?" Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired on Sunday.
A federal indictment accuses Trump of defrauding the United States by preventing Congress from certifying Biden's victory and depriving voters of their right to a fair election. He faced a revised federal indictment last month accusing him of illegally trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Trump faces similar charges in Fulton County, Georgia, where he was also charged with racketeering, which is used to target members of organized crime groups and carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
"Your honor, I'd like to introduce into evidence Prosecutions Exhibit A, where the Defendant willfully admitted his crimes live on stage in front of hundreds of people."
“Russia, if you’re listening…” he can say whatever he wants, no one cares. They’d rather complain about Kamala flip-flopping, which makes sense that she would change her stances to gather more support… or that she’s just a continuation of the current administration.
This could have been in trial by now is not for the misbehavior in the DA's office. This was far too important to go mixing relationships with I dunno... Democracy?
They would have found another way to stall. Really this should have gone to trial before the primaries even began, but then Trump wouldn't have been the nominee.
They probably got a heads up about something new in a case and are trying to get ahead of it with their base. Since we know the MAGA cultists don't consider time to be linear. The past can be in any order they want at the time. It's all just the past.
The line I have been hearing, and I don't like repeating it but you gotta know the talking points to counter them, is "he said he had every right to, but wouldn't stoop to the lows the dems would so he never acted on it".
It is stupid, but that is their logic/defense from what I am hearing....sad and weird.
Is it not interference just by announcing my candidacy? Is it not interference to just exist? There are only two states of being. Black and white. On and off. Ones and zeros. We either accept all things are interference or nothing is. I mean unless it's democrats and then it's definitely interference and must be stopped at all cost because socialism. ;)
