And he said to leave it to him and Republican members of Congress to take care of it. That's proof that he never believed the election lie, it was a massive coup attempt.

Just Say That the Election Was Corrupt, and Leave the Rest to Me: In Georgia, Donald Trump Appears Beyond F--ked
I don't understand why no members of Congress have been indicted yet.

(6,424 posts)BOLD FACE CORRUPTION and so ridiculous it must be a nightmare or actual HELL?
Yeah somehow that is where we collectively find ourselves.
U.S.A. got some explaining to do!
They even made the Supreme Court look like partisan potluck if anything gets pushed there, and Republicans acting like it's WHATEVER they want it is?

(15,136 posts)At the federal level, Smith is thought to be readying separate indictments of up to 20 individuals including the unindicted coconspirators on separate charges.
Tfg wouldn't be included in those charges, and they wouldn't be added to the ones he is charged with. That way he is the only defendent in that trial.
Plenty of criming to go around. It's possible they will be at the kids table if that is what Smith is up to.
Willis may also bring separate charges outside of the Rico network l and bring them in then.

(4,466 posts)indoctrinated to believe that the frauds committed by Тяцмp and his co-conspirators - incl members of Congress - were acts of patriotism, and that the deep state is now going after them for it. They will never forego that belief, no matter what evidence is laid before them.

(2,541 posts)To do so would require other members to step upon both Dem and GOP but no one is. They are either all corrupt and do not want to shine light on other for fear of light being shown on them or they think that standing back like a wallflower and being silent benefits them in some way, it wont. The threads this pulls on will pull members from both sides of isle down.
