What befuddles me is: why wouldn't Meadows, at least, have had the premonition that Raffensberger would be recording the phone call, given Trump's Roy-Cohn-ish penchant for threats? He can't be that stupid. Or can he? Maybe the White House crazy is literally contagious.
I hope this elicits a change of attitude on the part of the incoming Biden team as regards "moving forward" from the Trump years by quickly putting his malfeasances out of America's collective mind. There's no way to parse this phone call other than as a clear case of attempted election fraud on the part of the highest elected official in the land. Biden's attorney general -- and I hope it's Preet Bharara -- needs to pursue Trump and his whole sick crew with the determination of the Furies. If this does not happen in the first year of the Biden administration, he is setting himself up for failure. Jes' sayin'.....
I think you'll find that it is already the case and the transcript and audio are placed in Trump's super-secret server! They were stupid enough to think they were being clever and wouldn't be found out in time to be incriminated......Nixon lives!
It is ironic if a revealing tape is what brings DT down like Nixon! Ah, the ego of these guys is their downfall. Of course, DT might have classified it as top secret but a little hard to put the genie back in the bottle at this point...
Right— well that’s how his life was as a real estate developer. When things didn’t go his way sue your way out of it or bribe your way out of it. This is the first time he finds himself completely stuck and one thing he’ll keep doing is get revenge wherever he can in the final days. His main regret most likely is the tarnished Trump brand.
I wonder if those political figures supporting the contention that Trump was unfairly denied his election, will face the endless, scornful barbs directed at those who voted FOR the invasion of Iraq?

I think any one should expect a government office especially at this level to record all their calls.

Trump makes Nixon look like a saint.

No, they think - based on plenty of evidence - that Trump can get away with saying and doing anything he wants.

So apparently did Gordon Liddy until it caught up with them and there is always a "deep throat" lurking around somewhere.

My answer to your befuddlement question is, in my opinion, the Seditious Caucus is blind drunk with (wannabe) power.

Thanks, Kimberly, that article by Nichols is interesting! I think his premise about the seditionists is accurate.
Good thought - PB as AG!
Ah-ha ! Yes!!!
Very well said!
