In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump calls off press conference where he said he would share report on Georgia election frau [View all]swong19104
(345 posts)25. Still doesn't matter
The crime that TIG (and conspirators) did does not depend on whether the voting in Georgia was fraudulent. There are perfectly legal, non-criminal methods to address that fraud. TIG and fellow conspirators chose to commit crimes to deal with what they thought was voting irregularities.
For example, if some person were to park in my driveway at my home, I can call a tow truck and have the vehicle towed. A perfectly legal method to deal with a (not-at-all serious) criminal act (of trespassing?). What I can't do is bash the windows in, deflate the tires, pour sugar into the gas tank, set fire to the engine block, take a baseball bat to the front and rear lights, and slash the interior. Even if the car was illegally parked in my driveway.

So his handlers managed to rein him in this time. But that just makes Trump more impatient, more
