💥Lordy— tapes! On recorded call Trump suborned election fraud! He literally begged Georgia Secy of State Raffensperger to “recalculate” election votes to give him a fraudulent win >> “I just want to find 11,780 votes’ washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
💥Caught in the act >> Rambling & desperate, Trump begged to rig the election in Georgia:
“…there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.”
“So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes”
🧐Who else did this criminal beg??
😳Trump even threatened Georgia Secy of State to “find votes”—accusing him & his lawyer of letting “criminal” acts take place in election: “I’m notifying you that you’re letting it happen”
This is criminal. And all recorded on audio! What states besides Georgia did he threaten??
Truly stunning, if not at all surprising. Trump’s criminal abuses are off the charts. He’s not delusional. His are intentional mafia state-like threats. “I’m notifying you that you’re letting” crimes happen, making it clear he had the power to sic DOJ on Georgia SOS & his lawyer.
Btw Trump may have prepared for us hearing this astonishing recorded call. He’s very careful to say exculpatory things amid his threats & extortion. Like saying he believes he won. He also oddly makes sure to add “in my opinion” after “shredding ballots.” Very deliberate language
🔥Another “perfect call” — Here’s the full audio of Trump’s Jan. 2 call with Georgia Secretary of State - The Washington Post
Mark Meadows is on the call, as are several lawyers. Wonder if he leaked it. Or even Trump himself… to plead delusional insanity washingtonpost.com/video/politics…
😒Trump tried to call top #Georgia official Brad Raffensperger *18* times before finally reaching him the 19th time on Sat—a call Raff recorded, exposing an obsessed desperate WH criminal cheat & loser demanding to "give me a break" & "find" votes to flip legit election results.
Wild. Russia's @Navalny called his assassin & pretended to be an FSB official needing to report to Chief Patrushev why Omsk poisoning operation was a "complete failure." And the assassin confesses!
@navalny@bellingcat "Jaw-dropping admission rips giant hole in Kremlin denials"—CNN reports some of the extraordinary detail in @Navalny assassin's confession—unknowingly confessing to his victim! Novichok was placed on inside seam of Navalny's underwear. He'd be dead w/o quick-thinking medics.
🙄“Russophobia!” That’s #Russia’s absurd denial of poisoning @Navalny, after 1 of Putin’s mafia state hitmen confessed—to Navalny!—in a stunning 49-min call detailing the FSB poison operation that smeared a chemical weapon on the oppo politician’s underwear in a Siberian hotel🤯
💥NEW: US Sanctions Serious Human Rights Abusers in Russia, including Chechnya's Ramzan Kadyrov & paramilitary Kadyrovtsy, implicated in the assassination of Boris Nemtsov & killings, abductions of LGBT activists & journalists home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…#HumanRightsDay#MagnitskyAct
Today's new US #MagnitskyAct#sanctions on Kadyrov & paramilitary Kadyrovtsy also designate 6 companies registered in #Russia that "continue to provide Kadyrov pride and significant profit" and 5 individuals prominent in Kadyrov's network. #HumanRights#HumanRightsDay
So hard to read this as Trump+GOP damage democracy & society: "Human rights abuse & corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, & functioning societies…weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts"
Repubs are plotting a coup in plain sight. Barr's getting DOJ to probe "irregularities" which don't exist. He met w/ McConnell today. Now every GOP is spewing "legal/illegal" vote nonsense. Trump said there'd be no transition & meant it. He & GOP are blocking Biden's transition!
Barr’s direction upends DOJ rule saying prosecutors should NOT launch voter fraud investigations until after election results are certified. That guidance was designed to ensure that voters & state & local election officials—NOT the federal government—decide the election results.
“The best case scenario is that Barr did this to appease Trump and add credibility to his allegations of voter fraud…The worst case scenario is that DOJ is planning to intervene in some way and try to throw the election to the president.”—@matthewamillerwashingtonpost.com/national-secur…
NYPost bosses pressed staff to add their bylines to the sketchy Hunter Biden story. They refused. More red flags uncovered in the latest laundering of Russian disinformation that Repubs have been trying to make a thing since Biden became the Dem nominee. nytimes.com/2020/10/18/bus…
NYPost's own staff questioned whether the paper had verified the authenticity of the hard drive contents. Staff also questioned the reliability of the sources—Bannon & Giuliani—& the timing. Rudy even admits nobody else would publish it w/o more scrutiny! It's disinformation ffs!
The staff reporter who wrote NYPost's front-page Hunter Biden story refused to put his name on it. Who refuses a byline on a front page story and lets a newbie fmr Foxnewsie take credit? Someone who knows the diff between journalism & disinformation to interfere in an election.
🤯Icing on Trump's💩sandwich: Black people—who die disproportionately of COVID—were PROPS for his balcony spectacle—invited to WH superspreader rally a week after superspreader infected dozens, incl him! A few 100 Blexit fans came—gimmick of right-wing propagandist Candace Owens.
🚨FBI: Militia plotted TERRORIST ACTS against Michigan police, plotted to kidnap Michigan governor, to violently overthrow the government, and incite a civil war. 7 members of "Wolverine Watchmen" militia charged in the conspiracy.
Fmr FBI McCabe: The person MOST responsible for fomenting this sort of violence is the US president. Trump's daily berating the democratic process, claiming election is rigged & replete w/ fraud—all false—is exactly the rhetoric that triggers violent extremists to take action.
