Warning for dolfinwriter and probably suspension coming up for ignoring mod instructions to end the hijack and a completely belligerent tone in P&E that is only reasonable for The Pit. At very least you are officially banned from this thread.
Prior Modnote:
To EVERYONE, please do not reply any further to dolphinwriter.
Modding: This is an official warning. You have insulted every other poster in this thread. Any further posting in this thread will result in a suspension.
@Hari_Seldon, please note that What_Exit already gave him a warning. You shouldn’t punish him twice for the same crime. Not challenging the warning otherwise.
He didn’t. He punished him for a different violation. @What_Exit’s warning was for ignoring mod instructions. @Hari_Seldon 's warning was for insulting other posters. Those are both valid reasons to issue separate warnings.
Back in July, CREW (Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington) sent a request for investigation to the DOJ with regards to the Georgia phone call.
The specific violations they allege are :
USC 18 241 - Conspiracy against rights
and
USC 52 20511 (2) (B) - Depriving state residents of a fair and impartial election process
Their legal reasoning is outlined in the .pdf. They also sent the request to GA and alleged several specific state violations.
That’s just from the one incident, so we can add those to my list.
I thought the phone call made the thing pretty much a slam dunk, but seeing the specific violations makes it even more compelling. I have to agree with his/their conclusion: clear and incontrovertible evidence. Having heard the recording, I cannot imagine any defense that would even begin to combat this argument. I am not a lawyer, but I do have at least a speck of common sense and “Did not!” doesn’t seem up to the task.
President Trump’s January 2, 2021 call with Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger provides clear and incontrovertible evidence that he attempted to pressure Georgia state officials to overturn the will of Georgia’s voters in the 2020 presidential election. This conduct is not only a gross abuse of power, but also represents clear violations of federal and state statutes designed to protect our elections from unscrupulous interference.
Well, I did say I only had 15 minutes to research . But I had some time today to continue filling out the list. Gotta make up for the one that Max thinks is unconstitutional.

Update: On Oct. 4, 2021, the trial court ruled that Zervos could depose Trump before Dec. 23, 2021. According to Law360, this appears to be the “first time that Trump would have to answer questions under oath about his alleged sexual misconduct.” In discussing the schedule for depositions, Michael Rand, a law clerk for New York State Judge Jennifer Schechter, who is overseeing the lawsuit, reportedly “said he expected a trial date to be set sometime in the early part of 2022.”
Never happen. If it becomes possible after the incredibly long string of delaying tactics is finally through, he will leave the country and rule over his Trumpettes as the “Martyr In Chief” from afar.
