This evidence so accurately pointed out by Tyrsonswood, is why I give the U.S.A no more than 20 more years of existence as we have known it. We can't survive with COMPLETE MORONS believing conspiracies and LIES. FACTUAL TRUTH is irrelevant to these dolts.

Trump Pressed Official to Wield Justice Dept. to Back Election Claims excerpt: "The emails, turned over by the Justice Department to investigators on the House Oversight Committee and obtained by The New York Times, show how Mr. Trump pressured Mr. Rosen to put the power of the Justice Department behind lawsuits that had already failed to try to prove his false claims that extensive voter fraud had affected the election results. They are also the latest example of Mr. Trump’s frenzied drive to subvert the election results in the final weeks of his presidency, including ratcheting up pressure on the Justice Department. And they show that Mr. Trump flouted an established anticorruption norm that the Justice Department acts independently of the White House on criminal investigations or law enforcement actions, a gap that steadily eroded during Mr. Trump’s term. The documents dovetail with emails around the same time from Mark Meadows, Mr. Trump’s chief of staff, asking Mr. Rosen to examine unfounded conspiracy theories about the election. Much of the correspondence also occurred during a tense week within the Justice Department, when Mr. Rosen and his top deputies realized that one of their peers had plotted with Mr. Trump to oust Mr. Rosen and then try to use federal law enforcement to force Georgia to overturn its election results. Mr. Trump nearly replaced Mr. Rosen with that colleague, Jeffrey Clark, then the acting head of the civil division."
Trump was desperate and tried to have the DOJ file a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court after his other election cases were failing. Trump's desperation after the 2020 election resembles the behavior of Nixon during the Saturday Night Massacre to rid his administration of officials who wouldn't comply with his effort to dismantle the Watergate investigation. At the GOP event in NC in June 2021, seven months after the election, Trump was still making general, vague allegations that the Democrats used the coronavirus to steal the election from him. Trump Pressed Official to Wield Justice Dept. to Back Election Claims excerpt: "The draft brief that Mr. Trump wanted the Justice Department to file before the Supreme Court mirrored a lawsuit that Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas had filed to the court, alleging that a handful of battleground states had used the pandemic to make unconstitutional changes to their election laws that affected the election outcome. The states argued in response that Texas lacked standing to file the suit, and the Supreme Court rejected the case. The version of the lawsuit that Mr. Trump wanted the Justice Department to file made similar claims, saying that officials in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania had used the pandemic to unconstitutionally revise or violate their own election laws and weaken election security. To try to prove its case, the lawsuit relied on descriptions of an election monitoring video that appeared similar to one that Republican officials in Georgia rejected as doctored, as well as the debunked notion, promoted by Mr. Trump, that machines made by Dominion Voting Systems had been hacked."
Trump also used the same ploy on Raffensperger four days before the riot at the Capitol. After Trump's election claims garnered no traction in various courts, he went directly to the Georgia Secretary of State directly as part of his last-ditch efforts to overturn the election. During his pressure call, Trump told Raffensperger that the Dominion voting machines were being moved out quickly from Georgia. Raffensperger denied the claim. Trump countered by saying that the innards of the machines were being tampered. Raffensperger denied the claim.
The ultimate last-ditch effort by Trump was to coerce VP Pence to try to overturn the entire U.S. election singlehandedly at the Capitol on January 6. Trump is currently making 90-minute rambling speeches at GOP events, regurgitating his claims about the election that he has been making for the last seven months.
That trick was straight out of Gaddafi's play book. Gaddafi overthrew the King in 1969 and became dictator. And that's what Trump wanted.
Trump Pressed The Justice Department To Reverse The Election Results, Documents Show excerpt: "A batch of emails released by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee appears to paint a clearer picture of how former President Donald Trump and his allies attempted to pressure the U.S. Justice Department to investigate unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. The 232 pages of documents detail the unprecedented pressure campaign that Trump, along with his chief of staff and other allies, conducted to get senior officials at the Justice Department to challenge the results of the election in the face of Trump's loss to Democrat Joe Biden. In one example, Trump directed sham claims of voter fraud to then-Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen less than an hour before the president tweeted that Attorney General William Barr — who publicly stated that there was not evidence of widespread election fraud — would be stepping down and replaced by Rosen. The newly released emails also highlight multiple conspiracy theories surrounding election fraud pushed by then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. On Dec. 30, 2020, Meadows emailed Rosen a translation of a document that alleged there was a plot in which U.S. election data was altered in Italian facilities and loaded onto "military satellites" and that Trump was "clearly the winner.""
Why of course. The old 'altered data at Italian facilities loaded up to military satellites' trick. That's the second time they tried it this month!
Trump Pressed The Justice Department To Reverse The Election Results, Documents Show excerpt: "The cache of documents reveal that Meadows emailed Rosen multiple times to share unverified allegations of election fraud or to ask him to take steps to change the election results. The documents also highlight how Trump used official White House channels, along with a private attorney, to hound the Justice Department to file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court with the aim of having the court declare that the Electoral College vote counts in six states that Trump lost cannot be counted. The draft complaint circulated by Trump's White House assistant to Rosen, Richard Donoghue, and Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall requested that the court order a "special election" for president in those six states."
