Giuliani, maskless, is breathing heavily and perspiring, making wild unsupported claims. But what is running down his cheek?
Giuliani: "We use Venezuelan voting machines largely to count our vote. We let this happen, we're gonna become Venezuela....Americans "elected Donald Trump. They didn't elect Joe Biden." He's wrong. The company he's citing, Smarmatic, is based in London. And Biden won.
Sidney Powell, speaking now, is escalating her false, baseless, debunked claims of a international conspiracy to change votes. "Massive influx of communist money from Venezuela, Cuba, China.." funding "interference in our election." Here's more on her: motherjones.com/2020-elections…
It is hard to fathom that lawyers for the President of United States are able to push this ridiculous fantastical bullshit to undermine faith in the US electoral system. It's by far the most irresponsible thing I've ever seen covering politics.
Jenna Ellis says Trump's lawyers are an "elite strike force team." They aren't.
Ellis berated reporters for taking pictures, presumably of Rudy's hair dye running down his face and preemptively attacks media for ignoring the "evidence" Trump's lawyers are pushing. The problem is that they don't have real evidence for their irresponsible claims.
Rudy's cheap dye job running all over his face is an apt metaphor for the dishonestly of this presser, more so than baseless claims these opportunists are making.
Jenna Ellis made a true statement. "This matters to election integrity and matters to the future of our country."
Sidney Powell has affidavits about supposed vulnerabilities of voting machines, and kooky claims about algorithms and suspicious voting patterns. But that isn't evidence for the claims she's making. She's lying.
Giuliani: "I know crimes. I can smell them."
Giuliani said the FBI ignored information that Hillary made up the Russian collusion plot. That's not true. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Powell just acknowledged she does not understand the claims she is making about supposed suspicious vote counting patterns, then continued to make them.
Powell, who has defenders indignantly insisting she is a not a conspiracy theorist, alleges a vast global conspiracy. "Global interests, corporations, you name it. Everybody is against us."

3,999 participants on line for Trump for President v. Boockvar, featuring Giuliani. So maybe one more slot open?
Giuliani: "The best description of what we’re alleging … is that it's a widespread nationwide voter fraud of which this is a part...That’s why I’m here. It’s not an isolated case, it’s a case that is repeated in other jurisdictions." He says mail in balloting allows voter fraud.
Giuliani has now called Rahm Emanuel and Jimmy Carter "prophets."

Two of the operatives involved in Trump's effort to challenges votes, John Sweeney and Pam Bondi, are registered foreign agents. Two others, Giuliani and Lewandowski, have been accused of being unregistered foreign agents. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Former Rep. John Sweeney, who Giuliani said is "going around the country" looking for voting irregularities, lobbies for a Kremlin-controlled Russian bank, VEB, and for Nordstream II, the Russian controlled pipeline project. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Sweeney has also had varied personal and legal issues since his 2006 defeat in a House race, by now Sen. Gillibrand.

The Head of an Asian American GOP group endorsed Biden. Now he's under attack from the RNC. motherjones.com/politics/2020/… via @MotherJones
After Cliff Li, head of the National Committee of Asian American Republicans endorsed Biden, he got this cease and desist letter from the RNC telling him to stop using a logo resembling theirs. Li has used the logo for years without prior RNC complaint. documentcloud.org/documents/7281… Image
In the fairness to the RNC, the logos are quite similar. But they left Li alone as long as he didn't oppose Trump. ImageImage

Former top Trump fundraiser Elliott Broidy is now pleading guilty to participating in a conspiracy to violate FARA by concealing from the US gov his lobbying on behalf of Jho Low, the alleged architect of the looting of a Malaysian state fund, 1MDB. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Broidy is also admitting that at least in part in exchange for payments from Jho Low, he also lobbied the Trump administration and Trump personally, to extradite Guo Wengui, a wealthy critic of the Chinese government, to China, where he faces charges. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Broidy admits that in May 2017, he traveled to Hong Kong and then Shenzhen, China, where he met with Low and a Chinese official (Sun Lijun, then China’s vice minister of public security) regarding Guo's extradition.

Though it doesn't seem to be working, it's notable that DNI John Ratcliffe, at Devin Nunes' request, again released distorted, cherry-picked four-year old intelligence to try help Trump's dwindling reelection chances. foxnews.com/politics/dni-b…
As Brennan notes, he was describing US ability to eavesdrop on “what the Russians were talking about,” and mentioned Russians claiming Clinton planned to cite Trump’s ties to Russia. But the Russians were either speculating or spreading disinformation.
The Director of National Intelligence would have us believe Obama gleaned unsurprising details on Clinton’s campaign plans via the CIA eavesdropping on Russians spying on her. Via this approach, Obama learned Clinton planned to accurately accuse Trump of receiving Russian help.

“Mine is legitimate back channel.” Disgraced Republican financier Elliott Broidy is accused of secretly lobbying for China in a filing related to an expected guilty plea Monday by one of his partners in a complicated and, allegedly, super corrupt scheme. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Prosecutors say Broidy, Pras, the former Fugee, and Nickie Lum Davis, the ex of a JDate founder, took large sums of $ from Jho Low, a key figure in the Malaysian 1MDB embezzlement scheme, to lobby DOJ to stop investigating that case and extradite a billionaire Chinese dissident.
The Wall Street Journal reported a lot of this last week. wsj.com/articles/new-d…
