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.”

Official Documentation
In a phone call, Trump tried to pressure officials in Georgia into making tens thousands of votes disappear to try and steal the 2020 election. They found no illegal votes, refused to overturn the results and began receiving death threats from Trump's supporters.^[1]
After Trump had exhausted all legal forms of overturning the election; From having over 60 frivolous lawsuits thrown out from all levels of courts including the conservative leaning Supreme Court (Trump picked 3 justices out of 9), and after his Attorney General Barr resigned (an individual that covered/stalled investigations for Trump), Trump turned to his stalwart supporter in Vice-President Pence. A lie was pushed that Mike Pence could refuse to certify the election results as he presided over the counting of the ballots of the electoral college during the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. Pence refused this illegal power grab. Having no further recourse Trump incited an insurrection during a rally Trump held at the same time the E.C. ballots were being certified. Trump's supporters erected a gallows, stormed the capital where several people subsequently lost their lives including police officers. Politicians were incredibly lucky they escaped. For example Capitol Police Officer Goodman's quick and heroic decision to lead an angry mob away from where congression members were hiding probably saved many lives. This mob was chanting hang Mike Pence, many of whom wore tactical gear, carried zip ties, and used flagpoles, fire extinguishers, and chemical sprays as weapons while attacking police officers that protected Congress.^[2]

So good to see you here, PoppinKREAM, after the reddit debacle. It gives me hope for the kind of informed, careful, and comprehensive analysis on Lemmy which is, after all, your calling card.
Every day the content on Lemmy gets better all around. It's getting very close to giving me everything I used Reddit for.
Same
Be aware that this may not be the same person as /u/poppinKREAM. That's the beauty of the fediverse™
While not wrong, it really is me :)
Though there's no way to really prove it unless you know some personal things about me that I can prove. But I tried to stay somewhat anonymous other than being a Canadian anthropologist who works in athletics lol
As per @doc@kbin.social suggestion, I have edited a comment on reddit I made a few weeks ago to include my Lemmy handle.

You think the Yanomamö were violent? Hoo boy.
Take this gold award, you made me laugh pretty hard 🏅

Edit one of your old posts on reddit to add your fediverse account name?
Good idea! I'll add a link to it on my parent comment above.
Perfect. Welcome!
You’re an absolute legend. And this is publicly known, so I’m choosing not to provide sources, but they’d be easy to find.
Omg, I love your username.
Brilliant
Even if it wasn't you, someone copying your well-sourced comments would be welcome but I'm also super happy that you could validate using your reddit source content.
I have a test... how do you feel about the Dakota Access Pipeline?
I'm still disgusted by the actions of the militarized police force that violently brutalized indigenous protesters.
Yup, that's the PK I know and love
I'd say it's pretty easy to work out it's you, long ass concise posts that are correctly cited with sources is poppinkream enough for me!
I do believe it is you, hiya! I'm being perverse as a matter of policy.
I try not to get too invested in identities anyway. I look at the user if I need the context to evaluate their frame - but usually, you know when you're reading insightful commentary.
"on the internet, no one knows I'm a dog"
What’s your bank account info? I can confirm your identity that way.
They edited a previous Reddit comment with their Lemmy info.
Poppin off for real!
Goddamn, this is thorough! It's like I'm reading PoppinKREAM over on that other site... *sees username* ...O hai!

No reply necessary, but damn it's great to see you here! Thanks as always for the detailed, sourced info!
Back on Reddit, most of my saved comments were from you, PoppinKREAM. Glad to see your detailed (and well sourced!) explanations are here on the lemmyverse now too.
