I didn't put any words in Trump's mouth. I quoted him directly.no its not. Trump never says he is going to go after Raffensperger for that alleged criminal offense. this is again you putting words into Trump's mouth. You are creating the crime, and then reading into the conversation to put what you want there. Trump saying you can't let a criminal act happen seems like a perfectly legal conversation to be had. It may be weird for a president to have that conversation with Raffensperger, it may be different, but its not criminal.
I have been in plenty of public and private meetings with one official saying to another, or the public/civilian, that something can't be done because its illegal happens a good bit. and that if you do do that, it would be a crime. never once been an issue, and usually its seen as a good thing. its not until Trump doing it that people freak out.
Trump doesn't say that he is going after him ... but he heavily implies that someone would, when he tells Raffensperger that both he and his lawyer would be at risk, if they didn't take action .... which was a veiled threat and not true at all. Raffensperger was not at risk over anything - and he had already investigated and debunked Trump's allegations.
