The January 6 Committee has referred Trump (and others) to the DOJ for a swath of crimes unimaginable. But the thing I want to direct you to is what I have always seen as the main problem: Trump furthering a conspiracy to make false statements and also to defraud the US. The takeaway had to be--the big lie (That significant voter fraud existed) is over--it was never true.
Trump of course lies. Like he breathes. The voter fraud thing was the kind of lie that known liars should have known to check--but they didn't care, did they?
Anyway, his lies are so done that we will even see his tax returns. Which weren't even under audit. Which is one thing he fraudulently claimed.
No former president has ever been treated this way. But then again, no other president ever needed to be. He's in new territory because he engaged a whole new dimension of crimes and misdemeanors. He'll surely blame everyone under the sun, but it all comes back to himself.
