election was rigged or stolen is going to read this report. so what s the purpose of a document like this? i don t know that anybody except us here, in order to criticize it, are actually going to read this thing. i think that s exactly right. the purpose of this is to provide some kind of veneer that there is evidence that supports this case. you may remember that trump brought something like 62 lawsuit in the period after the election claiming fraud, and this is probably the most investigated election we ve had in u.s. history. there is really no evidence of any kind of systematic fraud or irregularities. but that doesn t matter, because trump says he has could benched his supporters that everyone else is out to get him, the deep state, everyone is trying to manipulate the facts. and so he doesn t need to put out relive it and. speeches needs to put out something like this with bullet points of discredited arguments, and that s enough for many of
it took less than six months for the brazilian supreme court to say, hey, this guy engaged in insurrection. are we feeling in this country? that were running up and almost the three year anniversary of trump of january six, and trump is not in, jail when a country like the brazil, where we we think we have a stronger institutional democracy than they do, they seem to have handled this in six months. i love people that look at the international perspective, because americans are so parochial. we think obviously this is a great country but we are not the first country on the globe who has had to deal with allegations that a former leader has engaged in a high crimes. that has happened in so-called first world countries and third world countries. and other countries have dealt
