THREADETTE: I'm swamped working on my opus of the guilty behind the targeting of @GenFlynn, while waiting for a response brief to come in so I can pounce with my reply. So I'm tossing this out on Twitter w/ more refined points later. 1/
2/ Republicans can do 2 things at same time, even if different ones want to focus on only one aspect: (1) expose voter fraud & violations of election code & challenge results; and (2) ensure Rs control Senate by supporting GA and if GA resident voting AND preventing fraud.
3/ B/w now and run-off election instead of tossing in hat & saying doesn't matter, do something: grassroots to monitor election facilities; volunteer to do an undercover @Project_Veritas sting to root out fraud; volunteer to be poll watcher.
4/ AND equally important channel anger into national grassroots group & demand every state protect the franchise by adopting safeguards to prevent fraud in future. Be angry....but be angry at the state officials who let this happen. Make the Tea Party a Voter Integrity Party.

I have a theory on the "perjury" trap sprung on @GenFlynn, which would be very difficult to prove but evidence supports. Because there was no recording of questioning of Flynn, we only have what Flynn recalls saying & what agents said they asked/he said. 1/
2/ Even with perfect recall, if agents asked Flynn whether he discussed sanctions w/ Kislyak, answer is no. But if discussed expulsions, answer is yes. 302 indicates Flynn did mention expulsions in answer by say "but not 30". But somewhere, Deep State line became Flynn lied
3/ about not discussing SANCTIONS. Yates thought that and said that to White House. And Special Counsel's office charged Flynn with lying about sanctions, when transcript shows he didn't discuss sanctions w/ Kislyak. I'd wager in prepping questions agents intentionally
2/ My take is here: thefederalist.com/2020/11/19/sta… From a legal perspective, I disagree that the statutes must be "overturned" or that the governor would need to sign anything. Article 2, section 1, clause 2 gives legislature sole authority & case law states as much. BUT
3/ That doesn't mean a court might not interpret it differently. (Although it sounds like Andy concedes in the piece it may be possible.) BUT I also am not suggesting the legislatures override the will of the people as express by the popular vote.
2/ The legislative branch established rules for the election which were blatantly ignored. Yes, the courts can address, but the legislative branch has both the power and the responsibility to address.
3/ And there are serious allegations of fraud with evidence to back it up. Again, the legislative branch established the rules for voting to prevent fraud and should own the investigation into the fraud.
FWIW: I'm not hopeful, but it isn't impossible. And "it is what it is." I'm not going to say Biden isn't my president if he's inaugurated. But Trump also should continue to fight if only to expose fraud, counting of illegal votes, and lack integrity in American elections.1/
2/ When Repubs. seek to clean voter rolls, to establish voter ID, to ensure oversight on counting, to limit "easy voting," they're accused of seeking to "suppress" the vote. No, it is seeking to suppress fraud, ensure integrity of vote, and to protect against disenfranchisement.
3/ Because when someone commits fraud, or an illegal vote is counted, that disenfranchises an American's legal vote. And that the results wouldn't have changed is not an answer--we'll never know, one, and two, every proven fraud destroys the integrity of the vote.
So, I just have a hard time thinking folks who voted for Trump after the Access Hollywood tapes in 2016 would now say they just can't pull the level for Trump in 2020. On the other hand, Trump's leadership & policy has won over a lot of folks who didn't vote for him. /2
2/ And I don't see Biden having any more excitability than Hillary and think Hillary had better GOTV efforts. Trump also is polling better than any other Republican with blacks. So I just don't see how this adds up to Biden winning. That said, nothing would surprise me.
