Aside from the obvious illegality, what's interesting about the call Trump made to GA SOS Raffensperger begging him to 'find' 11,780 ballots to overturn his GA loss is that these leaks don't happen by accident
And the timing is fascinating
washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…

2-"[WaPo] obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims

3-"at one point warning that Raffensperger was taking “a big risk.” Throughout the call, Raffensperger and his office’s general counsel rejected Trump’s assertions, explaining that the president is relying on debunked conspiracy theories

4-"and that President-elect Joe Biden’s 11,779-vote victory in Georgia was fair and accurate. Trump dismissed their arguments. “The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry..and there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.”

5-" ..At another point, Trump said: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”

6-"The rambling & at times incoherent conversation offered a remarkable glimpse of how consumed & desperate the president remains about his loss, unwilling or unable to let the matter go still believing he can reverse the results in enough battleground states to remain in office.

7-"..Several of his allies were on the line as he spoke, including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and conservative lawyer Cleta Mitchell, a prominent GOP lawyer whose involvement with Trump’s efforts had not been previously known. .." ~excerpts WaPo
