Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump officially became an illegitimate President today [View all]
Trump officially became an illegitimate President today. He is in office because he and his campaign conspired with an adversarial foreign power to commit seditious espionage against his rival for the Presidential election. And the FBI has evidence of this. This is a crime that has no parallel in the history of the United States. It must result in the resignation of Trump, Pence, their cabinet as well as anyone who knew of this possibility and sought to suppress this including Mitch McConnell.
We DUers all knew this to be the case. What we didn't know is whether the evidence would be there to prove it. The FBI now says they have evidence.
This is Watergate times a thousand. What Nixon did was a parking ticket compared to this.

Yes but my concern is 'what happens if all this becomes true' and this president et.al are expelled?

Yes, but it's awfully hard to believe that Pence didn't know what was going on in the campaign.
