"Could" but he won't. Now if this was part of the Trump Family who did this, there would be investigation on top of investigation.
Imagine that he wasn't here legally...

Ohio man charged in rape of 10-year-old that led to Indiana abortion
Caitlin Bernard, an Indianapolis OB-GYN, told IndyStar a 10-year-old came to Indiana for abortion access. A man was charged in Franklin County court.
The press says he's illegal. So this story that Biden so eagerly parroted isn't about an abortion problem at all, it's an illegal invader problem. Instead of the dems spending all their time and effort on something that wasn't the cause of this sad story, let's pass some laws requiring people to enter the country legally, and while we're at it, make rape illegal.
It just gets better and better.
But STRATEGY is still important. I am pissed at the Idiot in Chief, but I am hopeful that a plan is being developed to entice equally pissed of Democrats to vote against the idiot socialists. There has to be a reasonable rational approach to appeal to the centrist Dems and pull them over to common sense. Can a Trump or DeSantis campaign get beyond sniping and vitriol --- we already have every major life-impacting issue being handed to us by the idiot-in-chief. Positive factual ads proving the effectiveness of conservative policies across every domain of the lives of everyday Americans.... yeah.
Or do we just give them all the Hell they deserve.... LOL

Blame it on covid and putin. No the blame is on not keeping what is in your control down, like fuel cost, you should have done all you could do to keep fuel prices as low as possible like expanding on the efforts that Trump had achieved.

JUST A BUNCH OF TRAITORS!
Days before the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump was already planning to declare victory on election night, even if there was no evidence he was winning, according to a leaked Steve Bannon conversation recorded before the vote.
In the audio, recorded three days before the election and published by Mother Jones on Wednesday, Bannon told a group of associates Trump already had a scheme in place for the 3 November vote.
“What Trump’s gonna do is just declare victory. Right? He’s gonna declare victory. But that doesn’t mean he’s a winner,” Bannon, laughing, told the group, according to the audio.
“He’s just gonna say he’s a winner.”
The release of the audio comes as Bannon is due to go on trial Monday for criminal contempt, after he ignored a subpoena last year from the House select committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol in 2021.
On Wednesday Bannon’s attorneys again asked a federal judge to delay the trial, citing references to some of his past comments during Tuesday’s public hearing of the select committee, and the planned airing of a CNN documentary on Bannon the day before his trial is due to start.
Both events create “the very serious risk of prejudice here” among jurors, Bannon’s lawyers said, according to CNBC.
On Monday a federal judge dismissed a previous motion by Bannon to delay the trial, and ruled Bannon could not make two of his principal defences to a jury.
That came after Bannon said he was now willing to testify before the House select committee, an offer dismissed by the justice department as a “last-ditch attempt to avoid accountability”, and US district judge Carl Nichols said the trial must go ahead.
Before the 2020 election it had been reported that Trump planned to declare victory early, and in the Mother Jones audio Bannon says the former president planned to “take advantage” of the likelihood that Democratic postal votes would be tallied later than in-person Republican ballots.
Trump did exactly that hours after the election, claiming: “Frankly, we did win this election”, even as millions of ballots were yet to be counted, and after Fox News had – correctly – called the state of Arizona for Joe Biden.
“As it sits here today,” Bannon said later in the audio, describing a scenario in which Trump held an early lead in swing states, “at 10 or 11 o’clock Trump’s gonna walk in the Oval, tweet out, ‘I’m the winner. Game over. Suck on that.’”
Mother Jones said the audio, which is nearly an hour long, was recorded during a meeting between Bannon and supporters of Guo Wengui, an exiled Chinese mogul whom Bannon helped launch a series of rightwing websites.
In the meeting Bannon said Democratic supporters were more likely than Republicans to vote by mail, meaning their votes would be counted and reported later.
That would lead to a public perception that Trump was winning the election, according to the audio. Democrats would “have a natural disadvantage”, Bannon said.
“And Trump’s going to take advantage of it. That’s our strategy. He’s gonna declare himself a winner.”
“So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it’s going to be a firestorm,” Bannon said.
“You’re going to have antifa, crazy. The media, crazy. The courts are crazy. And Trump’s gonna be sitting there mocking, tweeting shit out: ‘You lose. I’m the winner. I’m the king.’”

AOC says Capitol Police were 'opening the doors' for Jan. 6 rioters
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tore into U.S. Capitol Police for failing to forestall the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, alleging some officers were sympathetic to the event.
Ocasio-Cortez stressed that authorities never "got to the bottom" of whether officers aided and were "opening the doors" to rioters who stormed the Capitol while warning fellow lawmakers, "We're not safe" at the Capitol.
"There were actual officers working with this, and we never got to the bottom of that, and we never got any answers about that," Ocasio-Cortez said Wednesday. "I have no idea what happened to the people on the inside, who were very clearly sympathetic with what was going on and opening the doors wide open for that."
It is not clear what Ocasio-Cortez was referencing when she mentioned officers were "opening the doors" to the rioters, but dozens arrested in the riot argued in court documents that officers had either not stopped them from entering the building or never told them they weren't allowed inside.

My comment: Interesting that AOC blurted out the truth. Plenty of video to back her up.
