“what they are alleging is Trump was trying to overturn the results of the election and engaged in a conspiracy to do so.“
That is correct - that is what they are alleging - but there’s nothing wrong with overturning a wrongly certified election.
We all know the election was stolen.
We all know that Team Trump was challenging highly suspicious activity and was completely justified in doing so. The Democrats do the same thing in close elections.
The only people who engaged in a conspiracy to overturn an election were the ones that stole it.
You can defend it all you want, but charging Trump with a “conspiracy to overturn an election” is just more shameful banana republic shit. The whole world is watching while we implode - trying to put the good guys in jail.
You have to ask yourself, can Trump get a jury that is impartial and open to the idea the election was stolen.
The majority of the people don’t believe, even though it’s the belief of the overwhelming majority of the people on FR.
That’s why the burden is on Trump, his defense will be the election is stolen and him challenging a fraudulent election was well within his rights which makes him innocent.
The Government’s burden of proof will be to show Trump engaged in a conspiracy to overturn a valid election, they will point to the fact that despite multiple allegations none of them have been proven in court making Trump’s claims irrelevant.
Showing the fact Trump tried to overturn the election won’t be difficult, what could be a real problem for him will be if aides that were involved in the reelection campaign take the stand against Trump, one of the key ones will likely be Mark Meadows, if he flips that could be bad, that’s why getting a jury open to the idea of a stolen election is important.
All this is speculation because neither one of us knows what strategy either side will take.
I think I read somewhere that Sidney Powell was going to be the first person to go on trial, what comes out of that trial will show what the government might have and how they plan to show evidence against Trump.
