http://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/03/us/politics/pence-trump-election-jan-6.html "“I was clear with President Trump throughout all the way up to the morning” of Jan. 6, 2021, he told Fox News. “It wasn’t just that they asked for a pause. The president specifically asked me and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes.”"

I mean, we all ******* saw it happening. We heard him order the guy in Georgia, to find him an exact number of votes, too. IP: Logged |

Well, Trump did ask Pence to reject the vote.The question is, was that illegal for him to ask that? IP: Logged |

Nope, it was not illegal. To be illegal, it would have violated a law. What statute was violated? Additionally, President Trump acted on the advice of counsel. IP: Logged |
