In one of the near-daily conversations Trump had with the agency’s leader, Rosen told the president that the Department of Justice “can’t and won’t snap his fingers and change the outcome of an election”.

“I don’t expect you to do that,” Trump snapped back, according to Donoghue, whose handwritten notes of the exchange were displayed on a large screen during the hearing. “Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.”

Right after that Georgia thing I saw Chris Christie as one of the talking heads on This Week. He was trying to make a case that what twump did to Raffensperber was just "poor judgement, not illegal".

I don't understand why those shows think they have to have diaper stains like Christie or Conway on to promote their shows. I change the channel when I see those fucks. They're all lies, I never learn a thing by watching or listening to them.

I can't blame you. I use to give Christie props for standing up to the MAGA mania when he thanked Obama for his quick response regarding Hurricane Sandy. But he's pretty much crapped all over that since with his rah-rah for the GOP. He wants a political future regardless of the moral, social implications. To hell with him.

At this point every time a new insanity is revealed I just sigh and think...surely that's the most insane thing they came up with...and then the next even more insane thing comes along.

Rinse. Repeat.

True. Trump was literally telling his Attorney General to commit crimes.
 
Justice Department lawyers repeatedly told Trump he had the facts and the law wrong

Barr had told Trump at least three times that there was no evidence of fraud. After Barr resigned, Trump persisted in calling or meeting with Rosen and his colleagues to insist they investigate fraud. Rosen repeatedly told Trump his allegations had been refuted and resisted efforts to involve the Justice Department because they “were not appropriate" under the law.

Trump tried all sorts of nutty gambits

On New Year’s Eve, the attorneys were asked to “seize” voting machines. They told him there was no basis in law or fact to do so. So instead, Trump called his Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli and falsely said the Justice Department said he had authority to seize the machines.

Meadows the next day even urged they look into a daft YouTube conspiracy theory that Italian satellites had changed votes. This was “total insanity,” Donoghue said.

The threat of mass resignation stopped Trump from appointing Clark

The committee interviewed all those involved in the infamous Jan. 3 meeting in the Oval Office when Justice Department officials confronted Trump’s attempt to appoint Clark as acting attorney general. Rosen detailed the meeting, saying he wouldn’t overturn the election because that was what the facts and Constitution required. Everyone present supported his position (apparently including then-White House counsel Pat Cipollone).
