The media of course missed the whole point and constantly carried coverage of trump and Giuliani - never saying or indicating in any way that in the USA's system of government, presidents and their White House staffs or attorneys are not and cannot be involved in presidential election and voting issues.

It's so basic, but it was so missed in all of the media that never even talked about this problem.
It's now playing out in some of the appeals for example. Meadows is trying to argue that his case should be removed into federal court because he was in federal government, federal government policy or executive privilege... but of course he wasn't conducting any business of the government , he was conducting campaign business - and after the campaign was OVER.
To further the point is seems to me from the beginning there is this huge hole in our media - in that trump's game easily becomes the ball field. From the beginning, they should've pointed out that a president has no business becoming involved in these things - that a president cannot be directly involved himself or through any attorneys that work privately with him, in contacting state representatives or even publicly commenting on these types of things, as there are appropriate legal channels but not the ones they used. The constitution specifically takes the president away from any involvement in even counting the electoral votes and it's improper for this president to have inserted himself in anyway .... if federal law like the voting rights act had anything to say about it than the Attorney General in the department of justice, would need to handle that according to their own set policies - and presidents interference could be harmful to it and is unwarranted.
The point is even if there was fraud and whatever they claimed ( which they knew there was not) they attacked the rule of law, they committed crimes - none of which are permitted remedies.
