It's still no excuse for his crimes. If there were actually voter fraud, it still wouldn't have given him the right to commit the crimes he did.

Evil Biden DOJ is not incontrovertible proof of exoneration. Crooked DA is not exoneration. Labeling people doing their LE jobs for the American people as cartoon-type ghouls and monsters is no exoneration.

Trump is painting his own clown show. Unfortunately it's becoming evident he is the clown.

There was never going to be a presser to begin with. In predictable Trump fashion, he announces a press conference promising evidence of fraud. EVERYONE starts yammering about it non stop. Then the press conference doesn't happen and it's all because his rights are being violated and the real fraudsters are preventing him from exposing them. Oh and can you make a small donation? And for reasons I cannot comprehend, it works. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!

All the cases brought before all the courts following the election is where that evidence would have been displayed.

Donald Trump's ego and his own words will bring about his downfall. At least he will still be able to campaign on the lies. Trump is becoming more an more like DeSantis; the more people see of him, the less they like him. His shtick is wearing thin, his glitter is shedding. His followers, who sit near the fence, must be hoping that he just STFU. His true believers will think that the deep state and the liberal press is just silencing him.

The question is: is Trump smart enough to follow the advice of his illegal counsel so he doesn't spout off and step further in the hole. So far he has never passed up an opportunity to spout bullshit in public even if its to his detriment. I'd bet the presser happens we'll see.
