Trump has been indicted, but not for telling Pence to overturn the election. This was always baloney. Pence was never going to try to overturn the election. But Trump Derangement Syndrome is a virulent disease whether among Trump supporters or Trump opponents.

According to this article, Trump knew the VP couldn’t overturn the election, but sought to create the impression among his supporters that the VP could overturn the election.

We will see how far this case, the DC case, goes. The case seems fanciful to me. It didn’t go very far in the U.S. Senate; and, it took a U.S. attorney two and a half years to proceed with a criminal case and, even then the criminal case isn’t of insurrection (or, incitement to insurrection), but merely interference with a proceeding of the government.
