Trump pressured Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to overturn 2020 election

In a phone call, Trump tried to pressure Arizona's governor to overturn the state's 2020 election results. Trump then asked his vice president to repeatedly follow up.
If Pence did in fact follow up at Trump's behest, he should also be charged. Even without the charges, this should disqualify him from running for President (though we know it won't).
You realize the only thing that can bar someone according to the constitution is an impeachment? A convicted felon could in theory be elected.
14th Amendment Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
One could easily argue that an attempted coup qualifies as rebellion, or the January 6th insurrection, which qualifies all on its own.
Another day, another (serious) Trump crime. Lock the fucker up already, let’s do this.
He was stopping the steal of a obviously rigged election u cant be arrested for that
Wow dude, this isn't the place for your consistently disproven fantasies. Go back to truth social or whatever. You won't get traction here.
Grow up idiot, he took it to the SC and lost every step of the way. He lost, get over it.
Woof, people are still brainwashed by Trump like this? Scary how effective propaganda is on the weak minded
Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump conspired with Steve Bannon and others before the election even happened to circulate the Start the Steal lie.

...audio from Trump advisor, Steve Bannon, surfaced from October 31st, 2020, just a few days before the Presidential election.
Let's listen. [Begin Videotape]
STEVE BANNON: And what Trump's going to do is declare victory, right? He's going to declare victory, but that doesn't mean he's a winner. He's just gonna say he's a winner. The Democrats — more of our people vote early that count. Theirs vote in mail. And so they're going to have a natural disadvantage and Trump's going to take advantage — that's our strategy.
He's gonna declare himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it's going to be a firestorm. Also — also if Trump is — if Trump is losing by 10 or 11:00 at night, it's going to be even crazier. Because he's gonna sit right there and say they stole it. If Biden's wining, Trump is going to do some crazy shit.
Sign #1 you're in a cult - the leader is NEVER wrong.
Eww, a kill-billy! Get it out of here!
He lost the Presidential election and thanks to the patriots and heroes both elected and civil servants this enemy of our republics plans to install his regime under his authority and total control was thwarted... if he would have won I 100% would have respected the result but he did not and will not again and thankfully no amount of confusing you and your fellow enemies of this union and what it stands for will get in the way... losers gonna lose buddy and lies are always exposed if you choose to keep believing its on you and if you get in the way of our families, communities and country you'll wind up in prison paying Trumps price for him.
