Don’t hold your breath. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they let him walk right back into the White House.
Yeah those calls were perfectly illegal. >

Also very uncool. >

“Trump [allegedly] made a phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and requested that he "find" the votes needed to beat Biden in the state.”
There is a recording of the phone call. He did not allegedly do anything. He definitely did commit a crime, asking a state official to overturn an election in his favor, so he could stay in power.  When this failed, Trump went to the next crazy move, the fake elector plot, and when that appeared to fail, he rallied a violent crowd to attack our democracy.
The only place this guy belongs is in a 6 x 8 jail cell. >

The 60-ish lawsuits in the middle there as well. >

Loom faster >

"Well?  We're WAITING!" >

It doesn't even make sense when he refers to his phone calls as perfect.  How can you objectively rate a phone call?
He is not a smart man. >

It's exactly how he referred to the call where he tried to ~~bribe~~ (edit: extort is really the right word) Zelensky too. It's just how he talks about things when he knows he's insanely, obviously guilty. It's a really clear tell, because it's an entirely inhuman way of actually talking about normal things. I'm completely positive that I have never once ended a phone call and thought to myself "yeah. That one was perfect." >

Imagine being one of his minions have to speak to him like that..."yes sir, that was indeed a perfect phone call. Bigly.: >

And then handing him a charred steak smothered in ketchup. >

I am 100% convinced that Trump accidentally ordered a steak well done decades ago and rather than admit he'd made a grievous error instead insisted that was how he likes his steak and continued eating absolutely ruined steaks for the rest of his life. >

Trump is old and comes from a time, or was tought from someone who came from a time when food safety standards and an lack of understanding of surface cross-contamination meant that the only way to be really sure a cut of meat was safe was to cook it well. Sure, any parasites will be killed off, but you now have a dry flavorless piece of meat that you need to fix; hence the need for savory tomato-based toppings like A1 or ketchup. But people who have this ingrained into them from past experience will continue to order it well done out of paranoia.
The piece he's missing out on are USDA inspections ensuring that meat riddled with parasites does not make it into food consumption. So long as the exterior is seared and doesn't get handled improperly afterwards your steak will not make you sick, and you can actually enjoy a juicy steak. >

The wealthy could always afford high quality beef. That's why eating steak tartare was a flex in the 19th century. >

“Perfect” in the sense of providing evidence of his crime. >

His vocabulary is shrinking by the hour. >

I heard the calls, and they were far from “perfect.” Just like his “perfect” calls with Ukraine. >

The whole ~~"prefect"~~ "perfect" thing is such an odd verbal tic. First, things are rarely perfect. Second, most of these "perfect" things are totally subjective and have no actual standard with which to measure it by. What exactly makes a phone call "perfect" and does it include being investigated for those calls?
Edit because this was obviously not a perfect comment. >

Trump has always only operated in superlatives.  To him, anything his is always perfect, huge, amazing, massive, and anybody else is always failing, small, sad, tiny.
Never mind if objective analysis says otherwise.
In short, he's a narcissist with delusions of grandeur and an insistence that he benefits from nominative determinism. >

I know, but there's something...jarring about "perfect" on this context. I would even understand "the greatest phone conversation in the world" but this just strikes me as very weird, even for him. >

He forgets, again, there is such a thing as tape recordings. We've all heard it, moron. >

Yeah I'm sure it just loops on Fox News between Hunter's laptop and M&M shoes. When Trump speaks he is speaking only to his base. To them, there exists what he says exists and it is perfect. >

Which perfect call? His extortion of Zelensky or his illegal and threatening call to Brad R.? >

Perfect prosecution exhibit A, B, C.... >

Hahaha I hope he's been informed that an arrest is coming >

If you ever want an idea of what is going on behind the scenes look no further than the latest rant this dumbass spews. Scared and pathetic. >

Perfectly criminal. >

“Nobody likes you Brad” and “I just need to find the votes” are the cornerstones of a perfect call about…elections. >

He calls everything he does "perfect".  It is straight up gaslighting >

I gotta say - it's not gaslighting. Gaslighting is making a sane person think that they're crazy. This term is popular now, but tremendously misused. What Trump does is called "bullshitting and pandering", and is highly effective. >

That’s the second time I’ve heard of “perfect phone calls” with this guy.
It pretty clearly refers to being perfectly ambiguous- impossible to prove whether the implied criminal intent is the intending purpose of the call. 
The problem is, to come out and say that “you can’t prove those words mean criminal intent” is basically admitting that yes, in fact, it was criminal intent. An innocent person would never refer to that it could be interpreted that way.
This guy and his mob boss doublespeak need to be in prison, sooner rather than later. >

He believes he purposely couched his words in a way that got the message across while avoiding legal liability. That's what he means by perfect. >

Since they didn't actually "find" more votes for Trump, it wasn't exactly perfect for Trump, was it? >

Wonder if his lawyers were notified of an impending indictment.... >

We all heard the entire call. He still acts like the recording wasn't released publicly. >

Tick tock Donald.  Tick tock. >

I look forward to the day when he's describing "The worst prison cell in the history of the universe". >

Kind of think the place to defend himself was in court. Airing his opinion publicly changes nothing about his actions. Getting close to popcorn time. 🍿 🍿 🍿 >

Dude. Let it go--you got caught. Deal with the consequences. >

Is he defending himself in court? No? Who the fuck cares then. >

I wonder what a perfect fart is for him. >


Trump's legal team refused to attend the hearing Tuesday, citing that the jury never subpoenaed Trump during its investigation.

HAHAHAH They didn't send a subpoena for us to ignore and then waste time in court for years arguing about it. Foul!
