    The filing said that when the co-conspirator was told that a batch of votes appeared to be heavily in favor of Biden, he replied, “find a reason it isn’t,” so as to “give me options to file litigation,” adding, “even if it [is].”

    When a colleague suggested to the co-conspirator that this could risk creating a scene reminiscent of the so-called “Brooks Brothers Riot” — an infamous bid to interfere with Florida’s vote-counting effort in the 2000 presidential election — the co-conspirator “responded, ‘Make them riot’ and ‘Do it!!!,’” according to the filing.

    The special counsel also wrote that then-Vice President Mike Pence tried to “gradually and gently” convince Trump to accept his election loss, providing numerous examples.

    On Nov. 7, 2020, as major news outlets called the race for Biden, Pence “tried to encourage” Trump to accept that the race was over, telling the president, “You took a dying political party and gave it a new lease on life,” according to the filing.

    What a new life he gave them too. Pushed it to 11.

      Unfortunately if another comment I’ve read is to be believed “judge” Cannon is in charge of the case related to treason (Read: she will squash it) but there is another case related to sedition that will go farther, until I imagine it ultimately hits the rubber stamp SCOTUS where they’ll referr to some 2nd century pig farmer law and try to claim that makes anything they don’t like unconstitutional.

    I am not holding my breath that anything will come of this. The Courts are corrupt. Congress is corrupt. The Press is corrupt.

    Well even though the courts will kick this down the road, the media will spin like a top, at least youtube debate channels will have one more thing to rub in “peaceful” maga supporters faces.
