THE HILL: “Journalist Carl Bernstein said President Trump's call with
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger amounts to a criminal act
and is "far worse" than the Watergate scandal that ended Richard Nixon's
presidency.”

John —
The Watergate scandal was such a flagrant and disturbing abuse of
Presidential power that it ended the Presidency of Richard Nixon and is
one of the most notorious political scandals of the past century. Nixon
never tried to rig an election — but Trump did.
Trump ordered the chief election officer of the state of Georgia to
falsify or forge enough votes to secure his victory in the state.
In doing so, Trump used the authority and powers of the Office of the
President to order an election official to illegally rig an election in
order to stay in power. Imagine if he had succeeded and these votes were
successfully forged. Imagine if these orders and calls occurred in
multiple states and were carried out.
Donald Trump would have, effectively, orchestrated a coup against the
legitimate victor of the 2020 general election, subverting the will of the
American people, our laws, and our democracy.
At this point the United States would no longer be a democracy. Trump
would be illegally serving as a self-appointed tyrant as a result of
illegal ballot-stuffing and tampering.
Many Republicans believe the President’s call and orders were just — In
fact, tomorrow more than 150 Republicans in Congress will join Trump’s
call to overturn the 2020 election results.
