trump, maybe not a primary it won t be enough, but a general election they can reelect joe biden. i have to ask you sort of on the other hand, not trying to draw false equivalence is here, but we see the plot that is being hashed out in the open by lee s congressional republicans who are very much doing the bidding of donald trump. today the speaker of the house of representatives, kevin mccarthy has suggested a potential impeachment inquiry into president biden for what i am not sure. lots of questions they have about potential untoward financial dealings, those may include a single unfounded allegation that biden was on some of hunter biden s business calls or so-called irs whistleblowers that said hunter biden s tax issues were slow locked. when you compare this to what donald trump may be in the hook for, it seems apples to oranges and has been euphemistic. but i wonder if the
people were staying home for the most part but remember this was an election year. some states across the country started expanding access to mail ballots in order to keep people safe. people could still stay home but they can also exercise that fundamental democratic right. by early march, the republican state of ohio is expanding mail-in voting. in april states like new york and kentucky followed suit. and then in april, that same month, president trump suddenly decided that the very same election system he had been praising just weeks earlier, that that same election system could no longer be trusted. he okay? people cheat. mail ballots are very dangerous thing for this country, because they re cheaters. they go and collect them, they re fraudulent in many cases. and trump repeated those claims. he repeated them again and again up until the election. this mail-in voting for the
mail and indiscriminately millions of millions of ballots to people. you re never gonna know who won the election, you cannot. that we have to be very careful with the ballots. the ballots that s a whole big. scan the biggest problem we have right now are the ballots. millions of ballots going out. that s the biggest problem. in november, trump lost the election. at that point, trump had so poisoned the well against mail-in voting, and told everyone in his party that it was a scam, that those mail-in ballots ultimately in the end favor democrats. and all the groundwork that trump had been laying with repeated claims about ballot fraud, that became his justification for not conceding the election. when the mail-in ballots were finally counted, and they tipped key races to joe biden, trump claimed that the election was rigged, and he was the real winner. immediately after the election when trump s own head of cybersecurity, a man in chris craig said the election was the
even if you thought you had won the election. that is not how you behave and it goes a long way to understanding this was a way of extorting a state officer to not do his duty. as both of you have pointed out, michael you just pointed out that solicitation it doesn t unity other prisoners to carry through with the request. when we re talking about the solicitation to destroy ballots, i can only assume that is again when president trump calls georgia officials and asked them to conduct signature verification going back two years which is a much longer window than they are supposed to. does that qualify solicitation to destroy ballots? it does. let s take a non-election example. let s say somebody wants to kill their girlfriend or boyfriend and they pick up a phone call up somebody who happens to be an undercover fbi agent and say, i want to pay to
50% for trump s, a whole bunch of missouri s right there, and certainly the majority of the republican party. and so they are not going to be fazed by more indictments. they have been convinced, they have totally swallowed the big lie they have become invent convinced that this is a plot against donald trump. now it s very hard for those of us who follow it carefully and who understand the facts and understand the law swallow that. but that is the reality the republican party is in. now, does it help donald trump in the primary? you bet it does. but does it help the republican party in this country? no it doesn t. because as that poll just showed you alex, 47% of republicans aren t for donald trump, and a chunk of them are really worried about these indictments. they are much more persuadable in a general election to leave their party and reject donald
