Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who faces federal and state charges for allegedly trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden, insists he had “every right” to interfere in the election.
“Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?” Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired on Sunday.
A federal indictment accuses Trump of defrauding the United States by preventing Congress from certifying Biden’s victory and depriving voters of their right to a fair election. He faced a revised federal indictment last month accusing him of illegally trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Trump faces similar charges in Fulton County, Georgia, where he was also charged with racketeering, which is used to target members of organized crime groups and carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
Doesn’t the SCOTUS agree with him? Or did I misunderstand those clowns?
It seems he is claiming he interfered with the election as an official action, so it checks out…
Except… the executive branch has no role in elections. It cannot be an official action.
Sure it can, you just need to buy yourself a few Supreme Court Justices. They go cheap these days!
Jack Smith:
They probably got a heads up about something new in a case and are trying to get ahead of it with their base. Since we know the MAGA cultists don’t consider time to be linear. The past can be in any order they want at the time. It’s all just the past.
When you’re a dictator, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the polls. You can do anything.

Actually, “they” don’t. Unless you have a really firm grip of the country, “they” will kill and replace you faster than Trump takes a dump.
No one. No one “has heard” of it, because you’re the first fucking person to do it, fuck wad.
Can someone remind us what stage this is? Something like “if I did do it, they deserved it” I think
And he has every right to rot in jail
ah. the ole sovoreign citizen president defense.

citizenpresident defense.Just wants to be king.
He did not.
Anything you say can, and will, be used against you.
if only 😐
This could have been in trial by now is not for the misbehavior in the DA’s office. This was far too important to go mixing relationships with I dunno… Democracy?
They would have found another way to stall. Really this should have gone to trial before the primaries even began, but then Trump wouldn’t have been the nominee.
No law. No order. Got it.
Is this not an admission of a fucking federal crime?
The line I have been hearing, and I don’t like repeating it but you gotta know the talking points to counter them, is “he said he had every right to, but wouldn’t stoop to the lows the dems would so he never acted on it”.
It is stupid, but that is their logic/defense from what I am hearing…sad and weird.
Cool. Then Thomas Crooks had every right to try to blow Trump’s brains out.
So he’s just blatantly admitting it now, huh?
It must be incredibly exhausting lying all the time. The truth is easier
It’s only exhausting if you’re trying to avoid getting caught in your lies. Trump doesn’t care who knows he’s lying.
It’s exhausting he never sees the consequences of it.
Well half the country either doesn’t give a shit that he’s doing it or are straight up happy about it. It’s literally like watching Hitler rise to power.
When Trump won in 2016, it was only with about 27% of the votes from eligible voters across the country.
A lot of people don’t vote
So they don’t give a shit that he’s doing it.
lol ok fine
Why wouldn’t he after being told he was allowed to do it by Supreme Court?
