David Worley, the lone Democrat on Georgia’s state election board, on Sunday called on Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to launch an investigation into President Donald Trump for demanding that the state’s election officials “find” votes to undo his defeat against President-elect Joe Biden.
Brad is really going to have to choose country or party, he can’t have both.
Good luck…it ain’t gonna happen. Raffensperger will only go so far.
Maybe his brother in China would help?
They were afraid of being Zelinskied.
His party ain’t choosing him, again
If y’all think THIS is a shitshow, just wait and see what happens if both Dems win their races. Mr. Brad will need 24/7 protection. There’ll be 23 recounts and 152 lawsuits. The state govt will go into paralysis.
Yeah, I think Raffensperger is clear that he’s not comfortable with what Trump did, but Georgia Republicans are never going to go after a Republican President. If Trump murdered and ate Raffensperger’s kids on national television, I doubt most Republicans would even protest let alone try to press charges.
That will be a short investigation.
If I call up the bank and ask them to find my ten million dollars I know must be there somewhere, have I committed a crime?
Can you call that attempted bank robbery?
Unlike Zelenskyi, though, they actually released their copy of the tape. Pity he never did, may have changed a few things.
“It’s a crime to solicit election fraud, and asking the secretary to change the votes is a textbook definition of election fraud,” Worley told the Post.
And as I read the transcript, the Chief of Staff is also part of a conspiracy to commit fraud.
“Dammit, Janet!”
Georgia on my mind. “Nightmare Scenario.”
During the phone call between Trump and Raffensperger, the second Trump broached the topic of Georgia voting issues, Raffensperger should have shut the call down immediately. To the extent that it went on for one hour is outrageous, troubling, and was potentially illegal, i.e. the commission of election fraud.
Yeah…but I don’t think Georgia is worried about losing U.S. military aid.
I could be wrong.
What time does the Donald go down to Georgia? That is today…right?
Be interesting how he talks about this tonight at his rally in Dalton.
Shortsighted, as after this dustup, I could see him running for gov, and siphoning off conservadem votes.
This article adds an editorial sentence that changing the Georgia vote wouldn’t deprive Biden of an Electoral College victory. True enough, but unless TPM knows that Trump - directly or indirectly - hasn’t been pressuring other states, as well, it should not have included this sentence. So, does TPM know that Trump hasn’t been pushing Ducey in Arizona?
The whole idea behind Trump’s pressure campaign was to flip certain states so that more Republican Senators and Congressmen would decide to join the sedition bandwagon— create momentum for the coup.
No joke.
When you’re the head of the DoJ and you tell the banker they’ll likely be charged with a crime if they don’t “find” your ten million dollars, yes, that is a crime.
