That is pure nonsense....did Trump have what could be considered as an epic meltdown when it was clear that he wasn't going to win the election, sure...But in order for your conspiracy theory to be reality, there had to be some provable things in place...“For the answer to be “yes,” there had to have been a realistic path by which some action on that day could have resulted in Donald Trump remaining president of the United States.”
And there was. . . . Canceling the entire election due to “wild chaos” created on January 6th, the results of chaos would push the election to the GOP majority in the House of Representatives established in the Constitution therefore 26 Republican majorities in as many states get to choose the winner - 80 million Biden voters be damned.
The Trump Coup hinged entirely on one man who needed to recognize as legitimate The certifications of electors from Arizona Georgia Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania Nevada and New Mexico that the Trump campaign forged.
OBSTRUCTING AN OFFICIAL PROCEEDING
In a March 2 court filing, the committee detailed Trump's efforts to persuade then-Vice President Mike Pence to either reject slates of electors for Joe Biden, who won the election, or delay a congressional count of those votes..
What charges might Trump face for trying to overturn 2020 election?
(Corrects paragraph 15 to attribute testimony about Trump throwing a plate to Cassidy Hutchinson, not Kayleigh McEnaney; corrects name of judge in paragraph two to David Carter, not Andrew Carter) By Luc Cohen NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. congressional committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, assault...www.rawstory.com
The president's efforts likely violated a federal law making it illegal to "corruptly" obstruct any official proceeding, or attempt to do so, said David Carter, the California federal judge overseeing the case.
1. Y'all are making a big deal about the PB leader being indicted...Never mind that a trial has not taken place, nor has a plea been entered, and according to the way we do things in this country, are that any person is innocent until proven guilty, there is NO proof of connection between Donald Trump and this individual.
2. Trump was trying to get Pence to call into question the electoral slate, and reject those electors from the several corrupted states...Now, irregularities like this have happened since the founding of the country...
"After the election of 1876, disputes arose in several Southern states with two sets of electors claiming legitimacy. Republicans of that day said the president of the Senate (the vice president) could decide which slate was proper, but Democrats protested. "
Objecting To Electoral Votes In Congress Recalls Bitter Moments In History

And the back and forth's between Jefferson and Adams are legendary, and spelled out in the NPR article as well...
So, still not a coup, just a dust up due to vote count irregularities leading up to the final count...
3. Much made of a speech on the ellipse and in that speech which is highly edited by media today that wants to paint Trump as an instigator, but clearly in the speech he tells his supporters to 'march down to the capitol, and protest peacefully".... Nothing in his speech is instigating...
Lastly, if it is so clear to you, why do you suppose that the AG has NOT leveled charges? Could it be that those of you on the left are being manipulated by a corrupted media that wants to sow discord in this country? Could it be that the former President's manner, and approach to the opposition he put up with were triggering for you? Or maybe it is that like many leftists today, who hold this country in contempt because they aren't just given the American dream without working for it, want to tear it down?.....I don't know which, but I do remember arguing the Clinton's criminality and being told to produce the convictions....So I say to you...produce the convictions....
