Not by radical leftists, or any of us in the media but by his inner most circle and the really, really committed ones as that.

Thats the center of jack smiths case. Donald trump is not being prosecuted for lying. Hes being prosecuted for the deliberate and criminal steps he took alongside his six coconspirators to stay in the white house and the quote, unlawful means they pursued to subvert the results in several key states.
