> The President was just caught red handed asking Georgia to make up votes for him Did you listen to the entire phone conversation and not the 4 minute clip? That's quite not what happened. Trump laid out all his claims and was asking them to accept investigating anything that cloud make up his very narrow margin. Another fun fact about that call, it was a Settlement Call. That was literally protected by attorney/client privileged. Barnes, a civil rights attorney who does federal cases, and who is currently contracted by the Trump team, talks about it here(starting at 54:49): https://youtu.be/bnevIjvohvQ?t=3276 https://youtu.be/bnevIjvohvQ?t=3276

First, that's clearly not what happened; here's the transcript of the whole call, not a "4 minute clip": https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-transcript-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/2768e0cc-4ddd-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-... Second, as you've now been informed (and could have verified with a simple Google search), the call was not privileged, nor was it "confidential" in the sense we ordinarily mean. Disclosing it was perfectly lawful.
