Uh, no. The call happened on January 2. The court cases were over. Agree completely that he refuses to accept defeat, but don't get why you see that as some sort of justification.

I'd make the case he is organically deranged, if not insane. And I think he clearly is. I'd argue this guy is so fucked up, obviously, he really cannot believe it when he loses at anything. And I'd have forty years of media clippings to prove that case.
But he won't use that angle. He'll instead seek to prove the election was actually stolen. Which is probably a better angle as it eats the argument that he believed it was stolen.

You don't seem to be considering the additional leverage the State gets. Some of them have started to defend themselves by saying they were only following his orders, which tends to strengthen the case against him. Charging people incentivizes them to flip.

Orders from who? Trump's m.o. thru life has been to never explicitly give an order to anyone. Just let it be known what he desires and have lieutenants give the orders. Unless she's flips Rudy, how's she get the big dog? Maybe Meadows. Maybe. I see your point.

Oh, come on now. Every single complaint I have ever read incudes facts that tell the story but are not elements of prima facie claims. It's necessary for context. The notion that doing this here is "criminalizing politics" is sophistry. Saying this belies an intentional ignorance of everything in the indictment that isn't a part of ordinary politics.

Again, I'd use a rifle. The more ambitious and broad the case, the more potential black swans it invites.

You seem to think that she has sued people who she doesn't think have certain liability. Whom do you mean?

I think the low level operators like that young female lawyer they charged are not liable. And the other local counsel who were merely lobbying officials. That shit happens in elections all the time.
