Old guy,

If you don't have a problem with this, then I'm spechless:

WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump pressed top Justice Department officials late last year to declare that the election was corrupt even though they had found no instances of widespread fraud, so he and his allies in Congress could use the assertion to try to overturn the results, according to new documents provided to lawmakers.

The demands were an extraordinary instance of a president interfering with an agency that is typically more independent from the White House to advance his personal agenda. They are also the latest example of Mr. Trump’s wide-ranging campaign during his final weeks in office to delegitimize the election results.

The exchange unfolded during a phone call on Dec. 27 in which Mr. Trump pressed the acting attorney general at the time, Jeffrey A. Rosen, and his deputy, Richard P. Donoghue, on voter fraud claims that the Justice Department had found no evidence for. Mr. Donoghue warned that the department had no power to change the outcome of the election. Mr. Trump replied that he did not expect that, according to notes Mr. Donoghue took memorializing the conversation.

“Just say that the election was corrupt + leave the rest to me” and to congressional allies, Mr. Donoghue wrote in summarizing Mr. Trump’s response.

Currently there are confusing stories about Trump and the Justice Department.  what I believe is Trump tried to get them to investigate anything, and I bet he tried his best and applied pressure.  There are articles that claim that.

I question this story you posted because it says "even though they found no instances of no widespread fraud". That is very misleading, they did not do any investigations of any fraud, there was NO INVESTIGATION Made,how can they make that clam. Why do you think Trump was pushing to get some kind of investigation.

You forget that a very large part of the population (even from the left) believe this election was stolen and even a larger percentage of people believe the election was unconstitutional.  As long as the issues are ignored many people will not accept this outcome.  Face the facts, Biden is only popular in the polls and they aren't the truth.  Biden gets Booed at the baseball game, nobody shows up at his speech, states do not comply with his executive orders and he is just a joke to the rest of world.  It is not even funny anymore, it is embarrassing.
