Trump pressured the Attorney General to help overthrow the election on a daily basis

I wish I could say this was remotely surprising:

President Donald Trump called his acting attorney general nearly every day at the end of last year to alert him to claims of voter fraud or alleged improper vote counts in the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the conversations.

The personal pressure campaign, which has not been previously reported, involved repeated phone calls to acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen in which Trump raised various allegations he had heard about and asked what the Justice Department was doing about the issue. The people familiar with the conversations spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive legal and political issues that are not yet public.

Rosen told few people about the phone calls, even in his inner circle. But there are notes of some of the calls that were written by a top aide to Rosen, Richard Donoghue, who was present for some of the conversations, these people said.

During the election campaign that led to Trump’s election despite his obvious authoritarianism and unfitness for office, by far the most-discussed issue by the political media (print and TV) was Hillary Clinton’s compliance with email server management best practices. You try to tell that to the kids today and they won’t believe you!
