Every one of Cheney's seven points above is irrefutable. Trump and his band of
criminals did every one of those. All seven are thoroughly documented in the
public record and in sworn testimony by witnesses who either were present or
were even participants.
Note that in his empty belch of a response, Hartung did *not* say that any of
Cheney's statements is false. He just doesn't like them, because they fully
establish Trump's criminality and assault on democracy, but Hartung *knows* that
all seven statements are true. Yes, the U.S. is a democracy, and peaceful
transitions of power from a losing president to the legitimate winner have been,
until Trump, a fundamental element of "our democracy." Add all the qualifiers
you want — "representative," "constitutional," etc. — but we are a democracy,
and Trump tried to destroy it.
It defies reason that the DoJ has not announced criminal charges against Trump,
Giuliani, Meadows and two to three dozen criminal Republiscum/QAnon members of
Congress.
