Of course.

But your DOJ seems afraid of the rule of law.

It's precisely the leaders of a country who need to be subject to the law. If they are not ruled by it, then you have a corrupt system.

If the DOJ brushes this under the carpet, the US will have failed the test of history. It will have shown itself incapable of following the biggest rule in its own constitution, which it has from Magna Carta. The law applies to everyone, even kings and presidents.

I am not sure it's in the blood of American citizens any more. Partisanship above principle, truth and country. Political expediency over accountability.

I agree. Trump belongs in jail. Or a mental home.

He belongs in prison!

Trump asked top Justice Department officials to declare 2020 election 'corrupt,' notes show

The House Oversight Committee on Friday released the notes from a Trump phone call in December.

Trump pressed top Justice Department officials in a late December phone call to declare the election he lost “corrupt,” and “leave the rest” to him and Republican allies in Congress, according to contemporaneous, handwritten notes taken by officials on the call.

Trump pressured top Justice Department officials on a Dec. 27 phone call with then-Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and his second-in-command, Richard Donoghue, part of an effort to reverse Joe Biden's win.

Donoghue memorialized the conversation in the handwritten notes, which the House Oversight Committee made public on Friday. The committee is investigating Trump's efforts to push false claims about the election in a bid to overturn the results and remain in office.

In response to Rosen saying the Justice Department "can't" and "won't snap its fingers" to change the outcome of an election, Trump is quoted in the notes as saying: "Don’t expect you to do that, just say that the election was corrupt" and "leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen."
