President Donald Trump has violated the federal criminal statutes for Treason, Misprision of Treason, Rebellion or Insurrection, Seditious Conspiracy, and Advocating Overthrow of Government, and needs to be imprisoned for a life sentence, or given the death penalty, for his intentional acts of suppressing legal votes, interfering with the U.S. election process, blatant treasonous lies to the American public, attempted destruction of the U.S. Democracy, attempted coup d'etat to overthrow the US Government, and illegally claiming a second term as President. Trump's enablers, including Senator Lindsey Graham and attorney Rudolph Giuliani, are just as guilty.

Pending the criminal proceedings, Trump must be removed from the office of the Presidency for Treason and High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
See the following U.S. Constitution Articles and Amendments:

U.S. Constitution, 25th Amendment, Section 4:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
President Trump and his enablers are illegally trying to manipulate the electoral college vote certification laws by intimidating State election officials. Trump's nefarious scheme is to strong-arm State electors to certify the electoral votes for Trump, even though the majority of votes went to Biden. Alternatively, Trump is scheming to delay the certification of votes so that the electoral certification deadline passes and the Presidential election is then determined by an unethical Republican controlled Congress.

Porter Wright Withdraws from Trump Frivolous Election Lawsuits - Enabling Law Firms Risk Attorney Ethical Violations and Criminal Prosecutions for Federal Election Fraud
The day after Voter March published its blog that law firm Porter Wright is representing Trump and the Republican Party in their specious lawsuit of voter fraud, Porter Wright abruptly withdrew from representation. All major networks have projected that President-Elect Biden has won the Electoral College by a decisive victory of 306 to 232. Voter March is apolitical, and the issue is not that sore loserman Trump is a Republican, but that he is a fascist demagogue who is spreading disinformation and malicious lies about the election. Trump has the support of wimpy and self-serving Republican Senators who know that Biden run won the election fairly and decisively.
Trump has the support of mercenary and unethical attorneys who are willing to do his bidding. See, 1,100 Attorneys Nationwide Express Outrage at Unfounded Lawsuits to Undermine the Presidential Election, Lawyers Defending American Democracy. Open Letter Seeking Accountability for False Claims Of Fraudulent Election, Lawyers Defending American Democracy. Trump’s lawyers in ethics scandal for filing ‘frivolous lawsuits’ to undermine democracy: Laurence Tribe, Raw Story, Nov. 13, 2020. Judges rule against Trump campaign in 6 Pennsylvania cases over absentee ballots, CNN, Nov. 13, 2020. Lawyers Litigating for Trump Suddenly Remember Their Licenses Are on the Line If They Lie to a Judge, Law and Crime, Nov 11.
These remaining "enabling" law firms, including Jones Day, King & Spalding, Statecraft and Consovoy McCarthy are committing serious ethical violations that could lead to severe discipline including suspension and disbarment. These law firms must be held accountable and are jeopardizing the very existence of their law firms, and may be criminally prosecuted for Conspiracy to Commit Federal Election Fraud, 52 U.S. Code § 20511.

President Trump and His Enablers of the Unfounded Accusations of Massive Voter Fraud
As expected from his pre-election unfounded accusations of a rigged election, President Trump has made outlandish accusations of massive voter fraud. President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris have won a decisive victory with over 5 Million votes in their favor, and an Electoral College lead projected at 306, well above the 270 required for winning. Even Fox News has declared President-Elect Biden the winner. Trump is not delusional or just a sore loser, but Trump is sly as a fox and an opportunist. Trump is knowingly lying to the American Voter, including his core supporters, of massive voter fraud. Trump wants to trample on the rights of the American voter and get named as the winner of the 2020 Election, by "hook or crook." Trump is from the school of the "ends justify the means." It does not matter whether he wins a fair election, he just wants to win at all costs and retain power.
Trump is using whatever powers he has as a sitting President to usurp our democratic election process. He is firing qualified people in government posts and replacing them with Trump loyalists who are political hacks. President-Elect Biden is being denied important government information, including national security briefings. The Government Services Administration is wrongfully withholding necessary funding and property from the Biden Transition Team. Trump is advancing his agenda by bullying and intimidating Government officials and elected representatives, especially the Republican Members of Congress. Only 4 Republican Congressional leaders have recognized Biden as President-Elect. All of these politicians and Trump appointed government officials are "enablers" in Trump's undemocratic and illegal attempt to seize power and to shred the pillars of our democracy.
With the help of unethical and mercenary attorneys, Trump is abusing the legal system and our Courts by mounting a "scorched earth" litigation campaign to try to discard hundreds of thousands of legal votes. Attorneys are officers of the Court and are subject to ethical standards, including abstaining from commencing and continuing frivolous litigation. See No Self-Respecting Lawyer Should Touch Trump’s Election-Fraud Claims -- The president may not have to worry about keeping a job after January 20, 2021, but the attorneys doing his bidding at the moment certainly do, Atlantic Monthly, Nov. 11, 2020. This unethical conduct by "enabler" law firms such as Porter Wright extends to each and every Partner in the firm and all Associates involved in the frivolous litigation, and is grounds for attorney ethics complaints to the state Bar Associations.
