    Except it WASN’T legal. There are no provisions for that in the Electoral Vote act. After the results were certified by the states everything else was supposed to be a formality. The plot to delay and have the state legislatures change the electoral vote has no basis in law or in the constitution. That it would be fortified by a declaration of national emergency and possibly martial law shows it was nothing more than a naked illegal grab for power.

    Perhaps I wasn’t as clear as I should have been. The fifth is designed to protect someone from self incrimination. You’re correct that taking it should not be equivalent to admission of guilt.
    However it can’t be used as a screen to protect someone else or prevent fact finding if it doesn’t incriminate whoever pleads to it.

    He might be yet. Prosecutors gather evidence before making a charge. I’m not a prosecutor so I can say what I believe as much as you can.

    Second line…”too”, not “to”.
    Where are those charges filed against Biden? Or audio where he’s admitting to sexually deviant behavior. We know we have it against your guy. And guess what? You’re totally silent on that one. Ahole

    everything he wanted to do was perfectly within procedure. he wanted the contested states to have a televised investigation of the votes.

    it was the polar opposite of an insurrection. it was people working within the system to insure the votes were legitimate. they wanted pence to reject the certification, which sends the results back to the states to be investigated.

    so even if it was an insurrection (it wasnt), it would require the state legislatures to be on board. this is contrary to your false claim that we were one person away from losing our democracy.

    also the guy said he didnt expect any violence from viking hat and pals. the violence was not part of the plan. pence refusing to certify (which is a perfectly legal thing) was the plan.

    biden also likes to fingerblast hoes without consent.

    plus he is an admitted plagiarist, which derailed his previous runs for president.

    Show me where it’s legal! Where is it stated in the Constitution or the Electoral Count Act? If you read it the act makes the congressional count a formality. To try to stop the count violates the law. It’s there in black and white. You can’t make it up as you go Martin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Act

    Read the Electoral Count Act. The very effort to stop the count is criminal and the only reason Trump wanted it was to illegally overturn the election. By definition that’s an insurrection and the rioters were his tool, the dupes.
