    Did some just now get around to watching the debunked "... Mules" film and not bother to look up the actual events?

    The republican-led senate report concluded there was russian interference.

    Senate report outlines ‘grave’ Russian threat in 2016 election interference probe
    The report details ties between the Trump campaign and Russia but doesn’t find evidence of coordinated scheme

    There are two possibilities.

    First, you are capable of understanding the dramatic differences between what Trump and Hillary did, but choose to equate them because you prefer that narrative. The second possibility is you are too stupid to comprehend that they are dramatically different.

    The people responding to your post are operating in good faith that option1 is what is happening, and they hope to help you understand and learn. For normal people, it is hard to comprehend that some people are actually this stupid.

    Sadly, you are proving that option 2/pure stupidity is what we are dealing with.

    "Threatening" is an interesting choice of words.

    I think Trump's issue is with the vote tabulation not the reporting of that tabulation.

    Trump has criticized the reporting of the vote tabulations in laying Fox News several times

    Yes threatening. With the Georgia Secretary of State he explicitly stated how he'd use his political clout and base to make life difficult for him.

    A president who is a candidate in an election literally trying to blackmail an election official to "find" the exact number of votes that would swing the state to him.

    Have you considered that Trump might believe that the vote count was fraudulent and a "paper" trail could be found? You know that Trump is impulsive and outspoken yet you only want to hang him on the precision of speech that suits your aim.

    Given the plethora of evidence that his closest confidants and his entire staff etc told him all the allegations have no meat behind them, he knew very well that he was bullshitting.

    That's the point of having all of these former trump aids as witness testimony. They will claim otherwise.

    Always amazed when trump defenders can continually handwave off everything thing he says and does with a simple "mean tweet" or an impulsive outspoken comment... "Don Corleone simply said he would offer the man a deal he couldn't refuse."

    You don't remember Trump and other Magas chastising Fox for projecting that Arizona goes to Biden?

    Obviouusly he was surprised. Is that a crime to express a dissenting opinion?

    Does Trump seem like a guy who is a good listener?! He's a combative SOB.

    You said his issue wasn't with the reporting of the tabulation. He clearly had an issue with the reporting that called AZ for Biden.

    We've been over the sworn testimony of Trump admitting he lost.

    "Can you believe I lost to this Effing guy?"

    .
    There were multiple fronts Trump used to try to steal the election. Election night was one of them.

    The GOP machine for one year primed GOP voters to believe mail in ballots a year out of the election were not secure. Combine that with coordinates efforts by GOP state legislators to change vote counting procedures where the new policy was that all mail in ballots be counted after all in person ballots finished tabulation you have a coordinated plan to steal the election on election night hoping that the perception of a large lead at the end of election night where Trump campaign was hoping they could convince conservative media to go along with calling the election that night without the mail in ballots counted in those various states. His plan hinged on Fox News going along with the plan.

    His rage at Fox News stems from them not playing along and pretty much shutting down that plan the moment they called Arizona. That's why there is so much outrage from MAGA regarding Fox news. They basically prevented a steal of an election the night of election night.

    Honestly the plan is somewhat similar to the Brook Brother riots to prevent finishing counting ballots but that was actually successful.
