https://www.businessinsider.com/jan-...on-lost-2022-6from the Business Insider: possible charges for Any and all associates in Trump-world who have actively denied the election results or acted out to influence the outcome by known false conclusions.
1.Conspiracy to defraud the government.
If the US attorney in Washington, DC, were to charge Trump and associates, with breaking this law, federal prosecutors would have to prove the former president knowingly agreed with others to attempt to obstruct Congress's election certification process by deceit or dishonesty. The challenge for prosecutors, of course, is to prove each element of the crime. And one element of these various charges is the criminal intent, the mental state, and the culpable mind of the defendant. tried to illustrate that Trump broke this law by playing video testimonies of former Trump advisers who told the president not to prematurely declare victory, as he did, and that there was no evidence of election fraud. The committee has not revealed any evidence that Trump may not have believed the conspiracies he was pushing. Even without that evidence, a case could rely on the concept of "willful blindness," which can be used against a defendant who tries to avoid or ignore facts that may implicate them.
2. Obstructing an official proceeding
The House select committee also argued that Trump and associates violated another law by allegedly trying to "obstruct, influence, or impede an official proceeding of the United States." Prosecutors could make a case that he broke this law by pressuring his then-Vice President Mike Pence to stop Congress's election certification process or for telling his followers the election was "criminal" and to march on the Capitol where the certification was about to start. Prosecutors can also use evidence of how Trump tried to pressure Georgia election officials to overturn the election results to claim that he broke this law and another Georgia state law by engaging in "criminal solicitation to commit election fraud." The committee has presented a lot of evidence that Donald Trump was told that there was no election fraud, and that he lost fair and square, but he chose to reject that," he said. "And it's well established that the January 6 vote count was an official proceeding." Federal prosecutors have charged many rioters with violating this law, making it likely Trump and those in his orbit, would face this charge should he eventually be indicted.
3. Witness tampering
During the latest January 6 hearing on July 12, the committee provided new evidence that Trump or an associate tried to call a January 6 witness—a action that could have constituted as witness tampering. Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, who is vice chair of the committee, did not disclose the identity of the witness was but said that the person "alerted their lawyer, who alerted us." The Wyoming Republican said that the committee has referred this matter to the Justice Department. During another hearing on June 28, the House panel also offered evidence that unnamed associates of Trump may have engaged in witness tampering in an attempt to withhold truthful information that may be damaging or incriminating.
The committee withheld the names of the witnesses and callers. Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, vice-chair on the committee, presented two messages that witnesses received before their testimony. Cheney read a description of a witness who recalled phone calls they received: "What they said to me is, as long as I continue to be a team player, they know that I'm on the team, I'm doing the right thing, I'm protecting who I need to protect, you know, I'll continue to stay in good graces in Trump World." The caller told them: "[A person] let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. He wants me to let you know that he's thinking about you. He knows you're loyal, and you're going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition." Past witnesses include several prominent Republican state officials, election workers, and former Justice Department officials. If prosecutors were to charge Trump or his associates with witness tampering, they would have to prove that they attempted to threaten or intimidate a witness to "influence, delay, or prevent the testimony of any person in an official proceeding." Who’s to say made those phone calls on behalf of Trump or if they were directed to do so by him. To that, the phone calls were in fact made, but by whom and directed by whom is what’s important here.
4.Inciting a rebellion
The House select committee is revealing more evidence on Trump's direct involvement in the January 6 insurrection. Federal prosecutors could potentially build a case that Trump and associates who incited a rebellion or insurrection against the US. Hutchinson previously testified that Trump knew his supporters at his Ellipse rally held earlier that day were armed and carrying weapons. She recalled Trump saying: "I don't effing care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the effing mags away. Let my people in." During the committee's seventh public hearing held on June 12, lawmakers presented new evidence claiming that Trump knew in advance that his supporters would march to the US Capitol building on January 6. His supporters are also held to the same culpability and claims. If Trump is charged with this crime, prosecutors would have to prove that Trump knew in advance that violence would occur on January 6. The prosecutors could possibly use the testimony Hutchinson provided where she recalled a conversation that she had with former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, as evidence against Trump. During her conversation with Cipollone, he expressed concerns about the potential criminal charges they could face if Trump went to the US Capitol building with protesters on January 6.
Hutchinson recalled him saying
"we're going to get charges of every crime imaginable if we make that move."

essentially corroborating tha Trump knew from his own internal groups he lost, but perpetuated the same lie; and those who helpd him do this will also be held accountable. Hence, all the gathering of phones and messages from those in trumplandia.
