The crime was the disenfranchising of millions of Americans in 2020.Trump could have conceded, and save himself from probably being convicted of trying to obstruct and delay an official proceeding of the federal government,
Specifically, it was a proceeding that the delay and the obstruction was to benefit him.
The reason Trump needed to concede is the law which put a deadline for eciredding grievances related to election fraud by the losing candidate of a presidential election.
Here is what Trump violated
All 50 states certified their electors by the āsafe Harbor deadlineā. That means as the law states, āCongress is bound by federal law to accept the state of electors that is arrived upon by that day.ā
The Duke can go off all rabid vulgar rants and tired conspiracy theories, but he cannot refute in an intelligent legal way the words of the law, which says āCongress is boundā
Trump could not for any reason on January 6 lawfully delay the official proceeding that is set in the constitution for the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to the next. It cannot change. It was not legal for him to ask Congress to extend the date.
It was a crime, even without inciting his mob to commit so much violence on the same day
Itās a simple matter of written law. There is nothing complicated about it. The date was set on January 6, all the states certified their slates of electors, Congress could not postpone the date for 10 days to review what Trump didnāt even have a proposal to review.
No other election in my lifetime or the history of America has been so fraught with fraud, oh! and there has been some
in the past, (Kennedy, LBJ, Gore, Obama 2012) but 2020 takes the cake!
In 2012 Obama would have won anyway, but that's when they were testing the waters on the voter fraud.
