WASHINGTON— A report by the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Democratic majority details Donald Trump’s extraordinary effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election that he lost, with the Justice Department brought to the brink of chaos and top officials there and at the White House threatening to resign.The report describes how the Republican incumbent tried to undo the vote and exert his will on the department, asking leaders to declare the election “corrupt.” His actions led to a near-revolt at department headquarters that receded only after senior officials warned of a mass resignation.At one White House meeting, Trump considered replacing the acting attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen, with the acting assistant attorney general,

If he “lost”, AP, why were Democrats fighting every audit and review tooth and
nail? Hmm?

Pretty sure President Trump didn't lose. Someone please explain that after the Republicans counters were sent home for the night, 2 large suitcases were brought out from under the table. And that was on video. What else happened that night?

So...... Trump was demanding that the DOJ investigate the election. Thats it?
From the headline, I was expecting something corrupt.

Without reading the report I suspect it details what the Democrats are actually did/doing.

Seven states sent TWO slates of Electors, it would not be/isn't out of the "Ordinary" to have SOMEONE figure out WHICH should be accepted, approved, counted...before an election is certified.
PS: there is NO "Democrat Majority" in the Senate. They hold 48 of 100 seats, then there is a socialist and an Independent...neither of whom operate as independents... and have the VP as a tie breaker. Repubs have 50 seats.

AP and others fight tooth and nail to hide the truth.
They know the truth will set you free.
They HATE that idea.

Dems/deep state crammed through certification by blocking any/all inquiry for proofs during the intervening 2 months before the deadline, mostly on grounds of "Standing"...so that they can now stand on the principle of "Possession is 9/10ths of the Law"

More proof that good help is impossible to find in Washington. Deep State is a law all unto itself.
When will the Pelosi/Cheney report be released? Will it be written in crayon?

Nice try, AP. Here is what we know: the systems safeguards to avert ballot box stuffing were mitigated in the name of COVID, the systems are largely overseen by Democrats, the Democrats won in a statistically bizarre way, the Democrats are calling people the worst names they can think of if they try to look back and do oversight - even just using the tools that are built in there for the purpose, and AP among others is doing all they can to help the Democratic name calling. This much we know. This we know. Doesn't look good 4 u, AP.

Democrats support a recount but bitterly oppose an honest audit. That gives the whole game away.

The AP no longer hides who they are. But I’m happy to see that Trump actually did make a full-court effort to save the Republic. Sadly, the Republic just didn’t want to be saved.

FTA: "Even so, the false claims over the election have fractured the nation, with millions of Americans wrongly believing the contest was stolen."
There would have to be a real investigation in order to persuade millions of Americans the 2020 election was conducted properly. Absent a real investigation, the notion Americans "wrongly" believe the election was stolen is simply an opinion, and a biased on at that, coming from the Democrat run Senate Judiciary Committee.

So-called false claims about the 2020 election have not fractured a nation. That fracturing was already underway when Russiagate commenced. This is not down to Trump.
