Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who faces federal and state charges for allegedly trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden, insists he had “every right” to interfere in the election.
“Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a presidential election where you have every right to do it?” Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired on Sunday.
A federal indictment accuses Trump of defrauding the United States by preventing Congress from certifying Biden’s victory and depriving voters of their right to a fair election. He faced a revised federal indictment last month accusing him of illegally trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Trump faces similar charges in Fulton County, Georgia, where he was also charged with racketeering, which is used to target members of organized crime groups and carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

So he’s just blatantly admitting it now, huh?
It must be incredibly exhausting lying all the time. The truth is easier
It’s exhausting he never sees the consequences of it.
Well half the country either doesn’t give a shit that he’s doing it or are straight up happy about it. It’s literally like watching Hitler rise to power.
When Trump won in 2016, it was only with about 27% of the votes from eligible voters across the country.
A lot of people don’t vote
So they don’t give a shit that he’s doing it.
lol ok fine
It’s only exhausting if you’re trying to avoid getting caught in your lies. Trump doesn’t care who knows he’s lying.
Why wouldn’t he after being told he was allowed to do it by Supreme Court?
Hey, FBI? Look! Over here. He’s doing it again.
…and if I did, it wasn’t wrong.
No, he’s not that smooth. It’s “and when I did” from the very beginning
Well, at least he’s learnt his lesson and been suitably punished so he’s definitely not going to do anything like that again.
Probably not really needed but /s…
Fuck Susan Collins
Ew.
Agreed. But even metaphorically, ew.
Jack Smith:
No one. No one “has heard” of it, because you’re the first fucking person to do it, fuck wad.
Confession before his next guilty conviction.
“Your honor, I’d like to introduce into evidence Prosecutions Exhibit A, where the Defendant willfully admitted his crimes live on stage in front of hundreds of people.”

And he has every right to rot in jail
He’s trying to frame this as an official presidential Act. Basically he’s trying to go through the door the Supreme Court opened for him.
A normal court would recognize that interfering with state elections isn’t part of his official duties.
But we don’t have a normal court.
When you’re a dictator, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the polls. You can do anything.

Actually, “they” don’t. Unless you have a really firm grip of the country, “they” will kill and replace you faster than Trump takes a dump.
Maybe we shouldn’t let him get away with everything he does.
ah. the ole sovoreign citizen president defense.
ah. the ole sovoreign
citizenpresident defense.Just wants to be king.
Soooooo… this is an admission of guilt, right?
This could have been in trial by now is not for the misbehavior in the DA’s office. This was far too important to go mixing relationships with I dunno… Democracy?
They would have found another way to stall. Really this should have gone to trial before the primaries even began, but then Trump wouldn’t have been the nominee.
No law. No order. Got it.
