He also refused to say the election was over and he said that he "loved them." The people that beat the Hell out of Capitol police and were responsible for the death of at least one of the police....he said he "loved them.
He had a really hard time making that video and it took over 3 HOURS to convince him to make it. He made it ONLY when it was obvious that his coup attempt was going to fail. He cultivated his followers for months, even before the election, with claims of "massive voter fraud." HE is the biggest reason that J6 happened. And repubs know it. If Garland does not indict him, there is no law in the US anymore. The only law remaining will be for the lower and middle class. The rich and affluent will be above the law.
Other nations are watching to see what happens. Do we enforce to law evenly for those in power, or were in power and/or rich....or do we become like Russia and China and let the rich and powerful slide?
Merrick Garland will need to decide in the coming months. Rudy, Eastman, Clark, and others will be indicted. But will trump skate free again?
