President Trump’s desperation to convince Georgia election officials to reverse the state’s election result was made clear in a newly surfaced recording of a call Trump had with a top elections investigators in the state.
Trump needed her to do him a favor, though
And sure enough…
We have that date of the sixth, which is a very important date,” Trump said.
Ah. So the planning of the insurrection was already well underway.
Also, there appear to be more recordings of Trump than the Beatles. I can’t say I care much for his Spotify channel.
Trump told Watson that if he wasn’t declared the winner in Georgia, the two Republicans who were up for a run-off the next month were likely to lose their seats in the U.S. Senate.
This sounds like a threat from Trump to his fellow Republicans. That if he goes down, he takes the Republican Senate down with him. What an all-around great guy and awesome leader!
Trump:
“When the right answer comes out, you’ll be praised.”
Fair enough.
Meanwhile, Watson said little more than how much she appreciated him and his call. She had to say it a few times because it’s all she could say each time he paused.
“Fulton is the motherload, as the expression goes,” he said.
That’s mother lode.
Not to be confused with pantload, which is what The Former Guy is talking.
“Trump’s call to the investigator came several days before his infamous call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.”
I hear two or more acts committed for a corrupt end meet the definition of “racketeering” under GA law.
Is it wrong that I’m smiling?
That’s two incidents where Trump pressured lawmakers to change the election outcome - under Geogria state law, that now becomes a RICO offense (i.e. a pattern of criminal activity) and adds up to 20 years to the sentencing. Trump’s not going to like that.
Well, if you’re keeping track … the article refers to “Francis” Watson as a female. Her name is Frances.
Reposted and Off topic. Pubbies already in deep gaslight mode. Implying they support the recovery bill.
Predicted as much and already happening. Hope MS voters are smarter than that. Probably not.
Almost perfect phone call?
No, but it is very restrained of you.
Well, taken on its own, it’s less incriminating than the one he made to Raffensperger.
What a silver-tongued SOB. (As the saying goes.)
God darnit Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.
Has Trump been able to line up any attorneys for his coming trials? Who are the suckers willing to work for him? Actions having consequences never rang more true.
Quite the charmer.
Also notable is that, within his thoroughly inappropriate framework, he was perfectly lucid and in command of his bizarre but necessary assertions.
Same as in the Raffensperger call a few days later, although in that case the deadline was closer at hand so, having become more desperate, he was also more careless about his phrasing.
The misspelling came from the original conversation.
Trump told Watson that if he wasn’t declared the winner in Georgia, the two Republicans who were up for a run-off the next month were likely to lose their seats in the U.S. Senate.
If you don’t help me out here, see, your Senators, they’re gonna swim with the fishes.
