If you were president, wouldn`t you just jump into action? Wouldn`t you call everyone in your administration, your Cabinet who could, you know, come in and help quell this and monitor the situation carefully? He really sat in relative isolation and didn`t take action, even at very strong urging of the people around him.
We`ve seen you know what the plot was we`ve seen elements of the plot for the fake electors. We`ve seen the part to influence the Department of Justice, the pressure and Vice President Pence.
