Voter intimidation much? Very illegal.

Taking and refusing to return classified documents <- not illegal

Money laundering <- not illegal

Asking foreign governments to interfere int he election <- not illegal

Rape <- not illegal

Revealing classified information to a foreign adversary <- not illegal

Trying to prevent the certification of electoral results <- not illegal

Demanding states give find votes for you to overturn their results <- not illegal

Voter intimidation <- also, likely not illegal

You simply cannot claim the legal system is going to hold Trump accountable. It is not a plausible claim at this point.

This isn't Trump himself. It's his supporters. They, unlike him, can absolutely go to jail.

Will they? Probably not.

467 Jan 6'ers got jail time. The leader of the Pretty Boys got 22 years.

Let's hope SCOTUS doesn't change that.

Or Trump. If he's reelected he'll pardon them all.

Well yes but SCOTUS can immediately wreak havoc (and probably will) with their pending decision on Fischer v US
