I have no clue. The hearings are for an audience of one...Merrick Garland. Time will tell. It is crystal clear to anyone with a brain that Trump attempted a coup. It began before the election when he stated that if he lost it would only be because the election was rigged. It continued with the Big Lie that he won and that the election was stolen and then the inviting of "protestors" to DC on Jan. 6 along with calls to The Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by." The plan, the "Green Bay Sweep" that Peter Navarro laid out on live television was the coup. Pence was supposed to be the "quarterback" of the coup by refusing to certify the votes. That would then send the votes back to the states where Trump and his cronies had put in Alternate (fake) Electors who would then vote for Trump. There is no other way to describe that other than a coup. He failed. Pence had integrity...or at least didn't want to go to prison.
We will see what the Justice Department does. If justice is to be served, Trump WILL go to prison. I do not need to see a perp walk. I do not need to see him in handcuffs. I suppose there might be a LOT of considerations when dealing with him due to his followers' propensity for violence. I'd be ok with it if it is all done sans cameras and even sans courtroom artist. Just get it done, put him in prison, and keep the cameras away that might fuel violent outbursts.
We can't have that kind of behavior. What if the tables were turned in 2024 and Biden loses but they set up Alternate Electors in key states and Harris refuses to certify the votes? Would that be acceptable? Of course it would not. It would be another coup attempt.
Your guy is a criminal and amoral.
