I do wonder whether some of this is politically motivated

You surely have to do more than wonder?  Lol

Trump is saying he can prove voter fraud in Georgia and is releasing a 100 page document in support on Monday.  I don't believe he acted in bad faith, which is the claim, and I believe he genuinely believed he won.   Back in 2020 most reports claiming election fraud were banned as misinformation.

I don't think there is any doubt that fraud was committed (under the cover of Covid) in several states but if there was enough fraud to change the outcome of the election, we'll never know.

I'm sure that trump genuinely believed he won.
he tried scores of court cases to prove that and lost them all.
he tried to coerce many people to change votes in various areas, he instigated a riot in which people were killed and he tried to get Pence to act in a manner against the constitution that would have thrown the US into an area they had not been in before and was not catered to in their constitution.
If these are the facts, he acted illegally.

some fair points , but when you look at some of the riots that were condoned by the left , its about balance

........... But Trump’s included a more explicit order on witness intimidation, explicitly referencing the former president’s ability to use his social media platform to level attacks related to the case.

“The Defendant shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a codefendant or witness in this case or to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice,” according to the order, which is also signed by Trump’s attorneys Drew Findling, Marissa Goldberg and Jennifer Little. ...............

I think the BLM riots should have been handled very differently.
Every state organised their own response, it was not an issue handled by the White House.
It's a bad precedent to let people riot if they 'feel aggrieved' enough.

Ya' know it's funny, I've presented cases to the "Grand Jury" when I was younger and an investigator for the county. Even then, there was only one side presented for an "indictment" to be handed down. It's been said that if the prosecutor was smart that he/she could get a ham sandwhich indicted.

Now if that process was highjacked for political purposes, say 'indicting a former President" for political purposes, it would feed right into the Democrat media/narrative...
