And they have tapes, cashed checks, and a confession for illegally paying off a porn star.
But micheal cohen went to prison for a one man conspiracy I guess.
“I just want 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state”.
What do the words “which is one more than we have” actually mean?  I’ve never quite understood the logic. >

11,780 is one more vote than the 11,779 that they were behind in votes. >

I’m sure, but still…. >

I can't imagine a scenario where they had found a way to produce exactly 11,799 votes already and only needed  Raffensperger to provide 1 more. 
But, let's say this was the case, then I am sure that we would have seen those 11,799 votes introduced so that Georgia was sent into "hung" territory, and we would have had a replay of Florida 2000. >

They were behind almost 12000 votes.  In other parts of the conversation he suggests raff should just lie about the number.  Most of the conversation as i saw it was Trump trying to convince raff its not a big deal to "only" lie about 12000 votes, its not like he was asking for 1 million votes or something. Just a little lie, nbd. >

Correct. Here's a quote that backs up your statement -- Trump during the same convo:
“I just want to find 11,780 votes. So what are we going to do here, folks? I only need 11,000 votes. Fellas, I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break.”
The "give me a break" is the tell that he thinks finding 11k votes shouldn't be hard. 
Problem is, Trumps mind operates in 1D and he's unable to calculate that those votes would have to come from Trump-friendly counties, making it much more difficult to come up with them (percentage-wise). >

Thanks for the quote!  
And really good point about the Trump friendly counties, his issue should not be with biden friendly Fulton, but some other place he actually did better in than Fulton.  But as you say, that's not what he fixated on, so he commits multiple felonies against a county that would not vote for him, ever.  What an idiot. >

Yeah, this buffoon has the IQ of an ice cube tray. Lucky for him, it helps keep him out of prison because his embarrassing levels of stupid make it difficult to interpret his actions as criminal, at a level beyond a reasonable doubt. >

They covered that pretty well in the jan 6th hearings.  He ignored many, many, many lawyers, relatives, etc telling him what he was doing was illegal. >

Here's hoping for a conviction and what amounts to a life sentence for him. >


Trump’s attorneys did not appear at the hearing on Tuesday, but released a statement noting Trump was never called to testify in the probe. “The grand jury compelled the testimony of dozens of other, often high-ranking, officials during the investigation, but never found it important to speak with the President,”

I know Trump gets bargain-basement lawyers, but even they must know how a grand jury works. Which makes this statement really, really sad. >


...but never found it important to speak with the President...  

...since they are familiar with his standard stalling tactics and could get the incriminating evidence needed from other sources. >

Sure, but the really funny part is that a grand jury is usually convened to indict someone, and you don't normally bring in the person they are requesting be indicted to give evidence to the grand jury. >

This jury's purpose wasn't to indict. Apparently, there is another type of grand jury that is more investigative in nature. This is that type of jury. >

It’s almost like they have a tape of him committing election interference.
