Trump has been charged by the Department of Justice with the following four counts:

  • A conspiracy to defraud the United States “by using dishonesty, fraud and deceit to obstruct the nation’s process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election,” according to the special counsel’s office.

  • A conspiracy to impede the Jan. 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified.

  • A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have that vote counted.

  • Obstruction of, and attempt to obstruct and impede, the certification of the electoral vote.


In criminally charging former president Donald Trump for his efforts to reverse his 2020 election loss, federal prosecutors allege that Trump enlisted six co-conspirators to “assist him in his criminal efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and retain power.”

  1. Rudy Giuliani

  2. John Eastman

  3. Sidney Powell

  4. Jeffrey Clark

  5. Kenneth Chesebro

  6. Unknown political consultant

    His supporters have been groomed (ahem) to think it’s all fake. From something I saw recently, 91% of Republicans don’t believe he has committed federal crimes.

        And yet they’re also the ones who would never support letting convicts vote… And probably would never support someone else who had committed a crime becoming president…

        Well, that is to be expected when you consider that most Republicans are Christian. When your religion goes against the trans movement and pedophilia, it would be rather hard to go for anyone else.

          I can understand the comment on trans-movement being adopted as an anti-Christian movement at the current time (even though I think it’s more of a freedom issue republicans are attacking with that one and the specific reason religion shouldn’t be in control of legislation), but there is a long record of both prominent christians and republicans that, if not the dominant part, are a significant constituency of the pedophilia cases in this country.

            Can you source this? I’ve always been underneath the consensus that it is more or less the same for both sides.

            Edit: Regarding politicians - not citizens. Although that would also be an interest data set to look at.

          Remind me again what Jesus had to say about trans people…

          People make bigotry their religion and justify it by saying they have to be bigots because they’re Christians, but the existence of Christians who aren’t bigots shows they’re lying, as does even a cursory examination of what their holy book actually requires of them.

            I don’t know what Jesus said since I’m not a Christian. Afaik he never said anything about trans people. The belief of Christians that I personally know has been that the trans ideology goes completely against the Bible’s teachings.

              Those Christians are jumping on a hateful bandwagon, there. Nothing in the bible talks about trans people in any negative light. Hell, even the anti-gay rhetoric was a translation “error” changing the word “pedophiles” to “homosexuals” deliberately in the 1940s…
