One can only hope! One would think that it is pretty clear that Trump "engaged" in an insurrection-- note: it does not say "incited" an insurrection, but "engaged": there has to be a way to keep some one that "engages" in an insurrection from running for the office of the presidency.

I totally agree with what these lawyers said...

Donald Trump faces having to use his own money to fight indictments

Former President Donald Trump's Save America PAC - which has paid out nearly $40million to lawyers fighting multiple indictments - is running a major deficit as Trump's legal woes continue.

For those who can't see tweets on Twitter/X, DT's post said,

"How can they charge me in Georgia? The phone call was PERFECT. WITCH HUNT!"

Edited to clarify: DT's post was on his social media platform, but it's being posted by others on Twitter/X.

The DA has made no secret of her investigation which she initiated almost immediately after taking office in 2021.

I continue to be baffled at what Trump did wrong. He made a phone call to Raffensberger, but Raffensberger didn't act on his request to "find" more votes.

New details: Fulton grand jury to hear Georgia Trump case early next week

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan was notified he will testify before a Fulton grand jury on Tuesday, suggesting that Fulton DA Fani Willis's Trump case will be presented early next week.

From the link:

"The timeline came into sharper focus on Saturday, when former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and independent journalist George Chidi separately confirmed that they received notifications they they will testify on Tuesday.

The developments raise the likelihood that the public should know whether jurors hand up indictments against the former president and others by Tuesday evening."

He asked someone to commit a crime on his behalf - in order to subvert an election and deny voters to have their votes properly counted. Just because the other party didn't cooperate does not make it less of a crime. Example: I ask someone to kill on my behalf. They don't do it but notify the police instead. I have still committed conspiracy to commit murder.

Trump didn't ask anyone to commit a crime on his behalf nor did they.

Trump's call to Raffensperger--a Republican--was questioning the validity of the election in Fulton County because rumors were rampant on social media that a water pipe in the arena had burst, election observers were told to leave but ballots continued to be counted. Raffensperger told Trump he was wrong.

" I need you to find 11,780 votes." That's a command not a question.

It was a request. Trump had no authority to "command" Raffensperger to do anything at all and he didn't. Making a request isn't a crime.

@MyBelle:
Below is a link which fact-checks everything Trump said on his call to Raffensberger.

Virtually nothing Trump said was accurate, other than his name.

This was Mafia style intimidation. “I need you to find“ these votes was meant as menacing, both in tone and actual verbiage. Trump told Raffensberger that he, Raffensberger, was doing something illegal by not producing votes that Raffensberger knew were not there, having already looked for evidence and finding none. Trump “advised” him that both he and Raffensberger’s lawyer could go to jail because they couldn’t and wouldn’t produce fraudulent votes in Trump’s favor.

You’re right that Raffensberger is a Republican who had voted for Trump. IMO that clarifies it even more as a non-biased fact—Trump did not have enough votes in Georgia to win the state. Trump wanted him to just pretend, and in the link you will see that Trump was wrong about each reason he gave to overturn the legitimate votes of the population.

A “request” is “please pass me the sugar.” “I need you to” followed by threats is strong-arm bullying and bulldozing.

It WAS a perfect call, for a Mafia Don. Not “Don” Donald Trump, former president who lost a bid for re-election.

IMO but also FACTS.

Fact Check: Trump’s Georgia Call to Raffensperger

The former president made a slew of false claims in asking the Georgia secretary of state to overturn the 2020 election results.
