In 2016 and again in 2020, the Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin, wanted Trump to be our President. A test of Trump's loyalty came in July 2018 at Helsinki when Trump rejected American intelligence and accepted the statements from Putin.
By far Trump is the worst President in our history, and his term in office culminated with his involvement in an insurrection against our government.
Trump is so bad -- as this and related threads show -- his followers are unable to support him.
As of this moment, Trump continues his assault on America's elections.
It should come as no shock that Trump attempted to pervert the Department of Justice in his quest to overturn the will of the American people in the 2020 election.
CNN reports, "Former President Donald Trump pressured acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to declare that the election was corrupt in an attempt to help Republican members of Congress try to overturn the election result, according to
notes of a December 2020 call Trump held with Rosen and acting deputy attorney general Richard Donoghue.
"During the December 27, 2020, call, Trump pressured Rosen and Donoghue to falsely declare the election "illegal" and "corrupt" even after the Justice Department had not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud."
"Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen," Trump said on the call, according to Donoghue's notes.
Donoghue's contemporaneous notes on the call Trump had with Rosen and Donoghue were turned over to the House Oversight Committee.
"These handwritten notes show that President Trump directly instructed our nation's top law enforcement agency to take steps to overturn a free and fair election in the final days of his presidency," House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said in a statement.
CNN continued, "Trump's suggestion that he and Republican lawmakers would be able to intervene in the election result is the latest evidence that Trump believed he could overturn the election through the
January 6 congressional certification of the Electoral College results, in which Trump's allies attempted to throw out the election results of several states.
"Trump also pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to ignore the Constitution and prevent certification,
"Both Rosen and Donoghue could end up testifying before Congress about their interactions with Trump after the election, after the Justice Department this week told the House Oversight and Senate Judiciary Committees it was
not asserting executive privilege over DOJ officials' January 6 communications with Trump."
There are those who wonder if the Russian dictator is pleased with the chaos his protégé is creating.
