      Worth saying out loud that the claims of fraud, lawsuits, threats to throw out results are best seen as efforts to secure - either formally or informally via threats - permanent legal immunity for Trump and the Trump family. Most likely informal. But that's whats on the line.

      Genuine question: what would informal immunity even mean? There's no centralized place that can shut down all avenues of investigation.

      What I mean is a situation where the election moves to such a degree of crisis that everyone is sort of warned off the idea of post-election investigations because country got so close to the brink. Mean mostly at the federal level.

          If they keep fighting, they keep the core of their base convinced that Biden's presidency is illegitimate, too. That manufactures support for more obstructionism going forward.

          Yeah, nice little remnant of a constitutional democracy you got here - hate to see anything else divisive happen to it.

          He’s negotiating with his creditors and threatening to run the place into the ground if they don’t show a little flexibility.

          I agree this is the real stage the country is behind the scenes. Threats and negotiations over whether Trump gets federally prosecuted or not.

          No. Occam’s razor applies. Trump is mad and wants to fight. Everyone around him is a fearful toady. Republicans in Congress see his electoral power and are going along, and perhaps they even win. There aren’t layers here.

          It makes sense for the GOP but not for the Dems. Virtually the entire GOP leadership is implicating itself in a criminal conspiracy. At this rate, if AG Gilibrand chooses to prosecute, they won’t have a majority.

          Only people Gillenbrand likes prosecuting is Democrats... and she prefers NO investigation #AlFranken
