Trump knowingly and willfully engaged in an attempt to defraud and deprive the American public from a free and fair election. He knew he lost the election. He supported the fake alternative Electors scheme, knew it was illegal. He supported the illegal scheme for the Vice President to unilaterally discard state certified Electors. He supported the murder of the Vice President.
“Based on the evidence the court finds that it is more likely than not that President Trump and Dr Eastman dishonestly conspired to obstruct the joint session of Congress on January 6 2021,” -Judge David Carter, March 2022.
The first clue of his autocratic tendency came just before the 2016 election when he would not agree to respecting the outcome of the election if he lost. His plan always had been, in business and then in politics, to lie about losing. In his mind its better to discredit a system of government than admit loss. He does not believe in the peaceful transition of power. And tried and succeeded in inciting a riot to try and prevent it. The attempt is the crime.
And people were killed as a result of this plan.
