An afterthought

The last January 6 insurrection hearing brought out the point that, while the mob was attacking police and breaking into the capitol looking for someone to hang, Trump was in the White House watching it on TV and calling congressmen telling them to delay or deflect so the electoral count could not proceed.  In other words...he was essentially holding them hostage.  They knew he was the only one who could call off the mob, and he was essentially telling them, "I want you to do me a favor, though."

If that's not a crime, it ought to be.
