Please---Rekieta is an idiot. He pushes this nonsense that it's not really illegal to do something illegal if you believe in what you are doing--and believe that the other side engaged in illegality and therefore your actions should be illegal or, at least, not illegal. BS. And then, like the rubes, he wants to wave it it all off--the lies and the conspiracy--as no big deal because it didn't actually happen. Again, bull$hit. People get arrested and imprisoned for conspiring to kill somebody even if the murder isn't carried out.
There was a conspiracy to submit fake electors to states and to Congress. In Pennsylvania, the fake electors actually showed up at the capitol claiming to be the electors, only to be told that the real electors were already inside. There was a conspiracy to defraud the American people and to subvert an election--period. One of the main conspirators, lawyer Chesebro, has already pleaded guilty to a felony in Georgia--where he was treated rather lightly, I would argue. He should be drummed out of the legal profession. Some of the lawyers who worked with the gangster to subvert the election will lose state licenses. They should all probably be in prison.
We've seen this nonsense from the trumpies all along. "Oh, we thought there might be vote fraud, so that's why we tried to overturn the election." Or: "We believed there was vote fraud, even though there was no proof of vote fraud, and so that's why he tried to organize a coup." Uh, no.
It's the old: "Gee, I thought the guy standing in my store (looking at greeting cards) might try to rob me, or might have a gun, so i shot him." Nobody is allowed to break laws based on the self-serving bull$hit running through his head that has no relation to the facts.
What makes one a MAGA rube: It's a person that gets his dirty undies in a knot and all hot and bothered and outraged when a black football players kneels during the national anthem but wants to wave off a conspiracy to subvert an election and a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol that results in several deaths--an attack on our democracy--as no big deal. The smell of serious hypocrisy and deceit.
