    He is unusual in that his unpaid tax amounts will be enough to put somebody into jail for the rest of life - US laws are pretty tough on tax evasion and he can't hide behind his accountants - he is liable personally for his tax returned.

    I wasn't sure before, but now he certainly will be pursued - most of Rep party elite would want this to happen to get him out of picture for 2024, Senate is democratic now so commitees there can do investigations AND declassify stuff if necessary to nail the fooker.

      A delay for recounts etc has been standard previously.

      US election 2020: Does this compare to 2000 Florida recount? - BBC News

      Disputing votes was a feature of the 2000 and later elections.

      What has Trump done that is illegal?
      Inciting riot and insurrection is one allegation/ It would need to be tested in court. Plenty of senior Republicans agree.

      Republican U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger condemned the violence and described the events as a "coup attempt".[48] Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the Chair of the House Republican Conference, said "No question the President formed the mob, the President incited the mob, the President addressed the mob. He lit the flame."[206] Newly-sworn-in Representative Nancy Mace, who had worked for the President's 2016 campaign, stated that "everything that he's worked for ... all of that—his entire legacy—was wiped out" by the violence.[207] Representative Mike Gallagher remarked of the riots that he had "not seen anything like this since I deployed to Iraq".[208] Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who had planned to oppose the certification of the electoral vote, announced that she would no longer object to the Electoral College results after witnessing the "disgraceful and un-American" events of January 6.[209] She was joined by senators Kelly Loeffler, Steve Daines, James Lankford, Marsha Blackburn, and Mike Braun, all of whom reversed course on the issue of contesting the electoral vote after witnessing the violence of the mob.[210]
      Senator Mitt Romney of Utah stated, "What happened at the U.S. Capitol today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States" and part of "an unprecedented attack on our democracy".[211] Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska said, "This violence was the inevitable and ugly outcome of the president's addiction to constantly stoking division."[212] Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania took to the Senate floor to say, "We saw bloodshed because a demagogue chose to spread falsehoods and sow distrust of his own fellow Americans."[213] Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina said, "The President bears responsibility for today's events by promoting the unfounded conspiracy theories that have led to this point."[214] Senator Ted Cruz condemned the protest and said, "Violence is always unacceptable. Even when passions run high. Anyone engaged in violence—especially against law enforcement—should be fully prosecuted."[215] Cruz himself was urged to resign by Democratic politicians, who criticized him for helping to instigate the riots.[216]

            Would not be surprised if they would - once they get one key decision in court (which is an obviously easy case) then they can add good old Simon as a "follower"

                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
