  2. Trump planned to remove and replace the Attorney General and Justice Department officials in an effort to force the DOJ to support false allegations of election fraud;

  3. Trump pressured Vice President Pence to refuse certified electoral votes in the official count on January 6, in violation of the U.S. Constitution;

  4. Trump pressured state lawmakers and election officials to alter election results in his favor;

  5. Trump's legal team and associates directed Republicans in seven states to produce and send fake "alternate" electoral slates to Congress and the National Archives;

  6. Trump summoned and assembled a destructive mob in Washington and sent them to march on the U.S. Capitol; and

  7. Trump ignored multiple requests to speak out in real time against the mob violence, refused to instruct his supporters to disband, and failed to take any immediate actions to halt attacks on the Capitol.

Don't confuse the for-profit media with actual people.

Most boots on the ground humans know the difference, and that's what is so scary, bc they will vote as they will because - not in spite of - this.
