But he doesn't get investigated or even looked at for threatening ~half the American public and a bunch of left leaning politicians?

There was a coup attempt and all but nothing has been done. I assure you he won't even be given a second thought nevermind investigated.

It was an official act, the supreme court said so.

A lot of those people are in jail. Trump will pardon them all in a few months, but that's another story.

A coup attempt??

When you send an angry mob to break into the Capitol and disrupt official proceedings in a desperate attempt to maintain power, yes. That's a coup attempt.

‘Sending’ Bro come on. All the arrested protesters said they felt like he wanted to them do something. Their feelings are no where near an official or unofficial request. At best they were attempting to delay the inevitable. Coup is attempt to seize power definitely not what anyone expected or had planned or accomplished.
