I'm sure he was just checking in to see how the election was going in his favor... lol
Trump and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDanial were recorded promising to get lawyers for two Wayne County canvassers if they would not sign certification documents.
Surely this is bribery.
According to The Detroit News
"McDaniel, a Michigan native and the leader of the Republican Party nationally, said at another point in the call, "If you can go home tonight, do not sign it. ... We will get you attorneys."
To which Trump added: "We'll take care of that.""

"18 U.S. Code § 201 - Bribery of public officials and witnesses
(c) Whoever—
(1) otherwise than as provided by law for the proper discharge of official duty—
(A) directly or indirectly gives, offers, or promises anything of value to any public official, former public official, or person selected to be a public official, for or because of any official act performed or to be performed by such public official, former public official, or person selected to be a public official; ...
shall be fined under this title or not more than three times the monetary equivalent of the thing of value, whichever is greater, or imprisoned for not more than fifteen years, or both, and may be disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

Slam dunk!
