'Trump suggested that ***he would fight to remain in power regardless of whether he had won the election***. Specifically Trump told [] "It doesn't matter if you won or lost the election. You still have to fight like hell."'

The latest Trump filing highlights the upshot of the Supreme Court's immunity decision. Conspiring with friends to remain in power despite having lost the election, as you or I might: A serious crime. Using the vast power of the presidency to do exactly the same thing: Definitely not a crime.

A former Trump aide says, on the record, that he refused to provide wildfire aid to California "because of the state’s Democratic leanings." Trump relented only after aides showed him how many Republican voters there were in Orange County. www.politico.com/news/2024/10...
