Dear Media: The GOP is no longer making "legal arguments" about the election.

They're fucking criminals who supported treason seeking to destroy democracy rather than face life in prison.
This ain't about Marbury v. Madison or the 14th Amendment or the Magna Carta or some other fancy intellectual cover.

This is about criminals avoiding life in prison at this point - and nothing more.
Only a few - the Mike Flynns of this mess - will possibly see national security charges, so the GOP isn't facing prison over "treason," per se. But they're looking to avoid prosecution over:
- Insider trading
- Election crimes
- Conspiracy (various)
- Wire fraud
- Bank fraud
The GOP isn't trying to destroy democracy over ideology (this time) but to sabotage a real DOJ that will prosecute them for:
- Tax evasion
- Honest services fraud
- Bribery
- RICO
- FARA
- OH, I DUNNO, LAUNDERING RUSSIAN MONEY INTO OUR ELECTIONS THROUGH THE NRA
