Trump could face exposure of his post-election attempts to suborn his own DOJ to tilt a lost election in his favor; it has opined against executive privilege for this cluster of facts.
https://www.justsecurity.org/77610/u...-machinations/The Senate Judiciary Committee and House Oversight and Reform Committee launched investigations earlier this year into allegations that former President Donald Trump improperly sought to use the resources of the U.S. Department of Justice to help him overturn the 2020 presidential election. According to the New and Politico, the Department of Justice has now informed Trump administration witnesses that it does not support York Timesan assertion of executive privilege — in its presidential communications” and “deliberative process” components — on matters related to this nucleus of facts. As a result, the department has advised the witnesses that they may provide “unrestricted testimony.” (Update: the Department’s letters are now publicly available.)

Here's the exact law legal experts think Trump broke when he ordered DOJ to declare election 'corrupt'
Trump told the top officials at the United States Department of Justice to declare the results of the 2020 election "corrupt" in a desperate bid to cling to power.
this is a clear violation of 18 U.S.C. § 610, which details actions that cons ute illegal coercion of political activity.
the law states that "it shall be unlawful for any person to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, command, or coerce, any employee of the Federal Government...
to engage in, or not to engage in, any political activity, including, but not limited to, voting or refusing to vote for any candidate or measure in any election, making or refusing to make any political contribution, or working or refusing to work on behalf of any candidate."
The law also states that anyone found guilty of this offense
"shall be fined under this le or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."

Philly tells the PA lege to get stuffed
Mike Lindell deemed 'a clear threat to the nation' after he spends 'tens of millions' undermining US democracy
journalist Anne Applebaum has grown so alarmed that she's deemed him "a clear threat to the nation."
Applebaum revealed that she recently spent time with Lindell and found him "affable" and "devout,"
before also declaring that he's a danger to the American republic.
In particular, she writes that
he's spending a fortune -- literally "tens of millions" of dollars" --
in his quest to undermine the 2020 election and
reinstall former President Donald Trump to the White House.
"Along with Bannon, Giuliani, and the rest of the conspiracy posse,
he is helping create profound distrust in the American electoral system,
in the American political system, in the American public-health system, and
ultimately in American democracy,"

Trump smears Capitol cops with misogynistic slur
is lashing out at Capitol Police officers who survived the January 6th insurrection
"In his retelling, Ashli Babbitt—who was shot and killed trying to enter the House chamber on Jan. 6—wasn't so much a rioter as she was an 'innocent, wonderful, incredible woman.'
And, in Trump's mind, some of the police officers who defended the Capitol that day aren't the real heroes,
calling them liberal 'pussies' who loathe MAGA,
and outliers within a broadly pro-Trump law enforcement community,"
"Trump has also maintained that these men seem 'broke' by the events of Jan. 6, and
that they do not have the supposed toughness or character of the law enforcement officers who, on the whole nationally, still widely support Trump and his policies,"

Trump backs losers who back him
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/29/trum...xas-loss-.htmlFormer President Trump’s political action committee bought $348,081 worth of advertising to support Trump-backed candidate Mike Carey in a GOP primary in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District, according to forms filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The large, last-minute ad purchase by the Make America Great Again Action PAC was made the same day that another Trump-backed House candidate, Susan Wright, lost in a special election in Texas 6th District.
The former president has staked his entire political brand on his status as a kingmaker in the Republican Party. A second loss for a Trump-backed candidate in as many weeks would put a serious dent in Trump’s aura of invincibility.
OF COURSE TRUMP HAS SCAMMED MILLIONS FROM HIS NOT-VERY-BRIGHT SUPPORTERS
The ex-president has reportedly been using his political PAC as a slush fund for personal expenses.

'A serious risk of prosecution':
Trump's PAC fundraising and spending questioned by legal experts
critics and legal experts alike who see evidence that the former president may be engaged in fraud as he amasses millions of dollars.
using his election loss to rake in millions for the purported reason of contesting his loss in the courts,
yet there are few dollars being spent on lawyers and a lot of questions about what the money is being used for.
Trump's "Save America" PAC, the report states, it "had raised a whopping $31.5m by year's end, but
Save America spent nothing on legal expenses in this same period
Save America only spent $340,000 on fundraising expenses last year
"Donald Trump is a one-man scam Pac.
Bait-and-switch is among his favorite fundraising tactics.
This time he's got the unlimited dark money group America First Policy Ins ute in on the racket."
"The president deceived his donors.
He asked them to give money so he could contest the election results,
but then he spent their contributions to pay off unrelated debts,"
"That's dangerously close to fraud.
If a regular charity –
or an individual who didn't happen to be president of the United States –
had raised tens of millions of dollars through that sort of deception,
they would face a serious risk of prosecution."

With a three-pronged plan, Trump's White House tried to topple our democracy
From late December to the violent culmination of events on January 6, the Trump White House engaged in a multi-pronged effort to topple the United States government.
It had the explicit goal of nullifying a U.S. presidential election so that the Trump White House could, acting in plain defiance of the rules set out in the Cons ution, maintain power.
there's not even a little question about what happened in the last days of December and early days of January.
Trump asked acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen to"just say that the election was corrupt," then "leave the rest" to the White House and to Republicans in Congress.
Trump and others within the White House, including chief of staff Mark Meadows, also began calling Republican election officials in at least Arizona and Georgia to similarly pressure them to alter their vote totals in Trump's favor.
, Trump was encouraging members of his base to show up for a "march" on the U.S. Capitol on January 6,
scheduled to exactly coincide with the formal congressional acknowledgement of the electoral totals. Trump and his allies sought to assemble as large a crowd as possible, for the specifically cited purpose of pressuring the assembled Congress to overturn the election's outcome.

Trump's shadow cabinet is more than just a bizarre scam --
it is an integral part of his ongoing coup
in the Trump shadow-universe he's created a shadow-government for his shadow-fans.
It's not as wacky an idea as it seems and
suggests Trump's solidifying his control over the GOP going toward 2022 and 2024.
Mark Meadows, appeared on a fringe rightwing TV internet show and repeatedly referred to Trump's "Cabinet."
"We met with several of our Cabinet members tonight," Meadows said. "We actually had a follow-up ... meeting with some of our Cabinet members."
Referring to Trump as "the president,"
just as Trump does himself in the daily fundraising emails I receive from him,
Meadows added, Trump is "a president who is fully engaged, highly focused and remaining on task."
Voltaire's old quote, that
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities,"
is playing out right in front of our eyes.
