Yeah. I’m almost certain the duties of the President don’t include trying to overthrow democracy.
Pretty sure I never learned that one in civics class… maybe I was absent that day.

Which is worse ? Trump ? Or his supporters?

Yep, overturning an election, not part of presidential duties. Hush money fraud, not part of presidential duties. Sexual assault, not presidential. Stealing government documents after being president, not presidential.
Pretty simple.

The mental gymnastics that will come in response to this will be gold medal quality. Hopefully, the Russian judge will abstain.
Committing treason against the government where he was a member was obviously an unofficial act.
A government cannot commit treason against itself.

Amazing how much time and money is being wasted to state something that should have never even been in question.

> Just over a month before the 2024 presidential election, the special counsel overseeing Donald Trump's election interference trial revealed a sweeping 165-page motion alleging the former US president is not entitled to presidential immunity for his role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, saying his "Scheme was fundamentally a private one".
> Donald Trump launched a "Private criminal effort" to subvert the 2020 US election and should not be shielded by presidential immunity, Special Counsel Jack Smith said in a court filing unsealed on Wednesday.
> Smith, in a 165-page motion arguing for the historic case against Trump to move forward, also provided new evidence of the former president's efforts to overturn the results of the election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
Is it possible for Biden to do something about him? There’s so much against him.. he’s like a villain in despicable me, just tralalaing around, stealing the moon, and nothing is happening.

I’m so sick of the clickbait headlines. Might as well say “prosecution says defendant they’re prosecuting is guilty!” Save the headlines for when the judge makes their ruling

Only some kind of brain-dead MAGA would think he is entitled to immunity for trying to subvert the office of the president, while still under oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Trump is a treasonous piece of shit. People ended up in Gitmo for much less.

Coup d’état is not an official act, as it turns out.
