@leswarden @dangillmor
Example: members of Congress do have election matters within the scope of their responsibilities while presidents do not. This may have discouraged Smith from charging members of Congress who aided Trump with the election conspiracy. One could argue they have a plausible defense to why they made calls to state election figures. That could make a prosecution messy. A prosecutor will want the cleanest case possible. That's my take on it. 2/2
