Trump Lawyer Tries To Toss Out His Own Vote In Wisconsin Recount

Well, the ends justifies the means of course. Particularly when the (promised) payment is high enough.

Is “admission against sanity” a thing?

They tell me you are supposed to put “/s” after a comment like that.

So he is arguing that his own vote should be thrown out - has the snake finally eaten itself?

These Trump bootlickers are the electoral version of “suicide bombers”.

They’re happy to take out even themselves, if they think it’ll help The Cause.

(Sorry Jim, but those “70 virgins” you were promised are all Proud Boys living in their mom’s basement.)

Diabolical.

Team Biden was not prepared for this.

The thing about money is that there is always someone who will wish to get paid to do whatever.

And the worst thing is that, even for someone turning down the cash and “doing what is right”, what he/she turns down will be done by (a greedier) someone else anyway.

That transactional landscape is Donald Trump’s.

We are going to have to deal with a lot of damage from the Trump Era. This is just one more example.

This makes total sense if he does not care if votes are counted, that is he simply wants Benadick Donnie in office. His vote should not matter either.

We should count this as an example of a less hypocritical than normal Republican proposal.

As he was explaining to Wisconsin’s Dane County Board of Canvassers why in-person absentee ballots ought to be deemed illegal and thus invalidated, Troupis presented a list of those who had voted with those ballots-and then admitted he himself was one of the voters who had done so.

IANAL, but if the court buys his argument that in-person absentee voting is illegal, does the above admission mean he could be prosecuted for knowingly voting illegally?
