Seems to me GA is still more important than this one.
This will be 'trump is actually crazy - he truly believed the election was stolen.'
Which makes an 'innocent by means of insanity' defense interesting.
The fourth count is the problem...that he conspired to take away the vote. And that doesn't seem to require that trump believed anything.
But Rs will just say he did it within the Constitution - he wanted the electoral college to fail and have the House select the new president. As the Const. says it should.
But in GA Trump actually committed obvious crimes - threatening and ordering state officials to falsify vote counts. Harder to deny that one.
Of course even if convicted in GA the R state gummint will force the pardon board to pardon trump so he's not going to jail. But still.
The secret docs theft in Mar a Lardo is the worst IMO. I mean, if this was a country where laws were really taken seriously Trump would be facing at least life in prison for treason. I'll take some jail time and a never ending nasty divorce with the GQP though.
