Advice from a crook on disputing a crooked election: Blagojevich speaks
American Thinker ^ | 30 Nov, 2020 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 11/30/2020 4:54:20 AM PST by MtnClimber

Former Illinois governor and federal inmate Rod Blagojevich, whose sentence was commuted by President Trump early this year, knows firsthand the ways of corrupt big city Democrats, as well as the ways of federal judges, prosecutors, and juries. And he has some advice for President Trump and his legal teams that he expressed in an interview on Newsmax TV. Robert Jonathan of BizPacReview noticed and preserved video of the his conversation with Leo Terrell, one of the most emphatic (and surprising) supporters of President Trump.

Most interesting to me is his PR strategy, urging President Trump to not try to use public pressure to influence courts. Rather, Blago thinks the evidence will be there – it can’t be covered up. Trump must reach the Supreme Court to get justice, because lower courts may be appointees that won’t give him justice. Robert Jonathan transcribes:

“It would be wrong I think for them to be fighting this case exclusively in the court of public opinion. And you have to be very sensitive to the courts and respectful to the court process…If they show their cards too soon, the corporate media that’s in a conspiracy to destroy President. Trump and destroy his presidency. They’re trying to ratify what is in my belief, a corrupt election. They’re going to be all over the place trying to take away the arguments that Trump’s people have… So it would be imprudent, I think, for the Trump legal team to do too much of this publicly.”

I don’t believe anything the media says either. Whether it’s the election, court cases or blaming the dog for a broken foot from a fall.

And that IMO is why CIA Tucker was trying to bully Powell into releasing more sooner.

The pA Supreme Court has repeatedly shown utter contempt for the law, the constitution and the separation of powers.. they are worse than the FL Supreme Court was in 2000

Blago speaks the truth today, seeing Sidney’s point and raising it.

I think the courts like at their own situation and choose that life is too good for them right now todo the right thing and weigh in on this mess. The public doesn’t want to believe that is was voter fraud on an industrial scale. They want to believe that elections are fair, so they do. Elections are rigged like Wrestling on TV

I’m willing to accept Rod Blagojevich as a SME on election fraud.

President Trump has a bifurcated strategy.....

Courts for relief, but is really a venue to present his case to the public.....

A public opinion case (supported by his legal case) to convince the state legislators, and provide them cover, to force electors his direction...

Blago certainly knows Democrat corruption, having been a part of it. I am sure that Obama was involved in the ‘selling of his Senate seat’ back in 2008-2009. But as always, the Obama Admin INVESTIGATED THEMSELVES and found no wrongdoing. That set the tone for the next 8 years of Big Media lapdog coverage.

Even the Chinese are sick of Biden's smug, self-satisfied pose....and that annoying Chiclet grin.

American Thinker's Christopher Chantrill extrapolates on reasons why "....the Ruling Class Needs to Steal Elections..."

<><> Crane Brinton in The Anatomy of Revolution writes that the ruling class relegated to conducting a "Reign of Terror" signals failure.......
shows that (Democrats' vaunted political valhalla) flopped bigtime.

<><> Gaetano Mosca's The Ruling Class opines that a good ruling class has a “political formula” that resonates with the masses.

But our ruling class’s political formula seems banked solely on self-styled "victimization"......
via the “me-oppressed, you-white oppressors”. Their "policeman-bad" slapdown lost Democrats several House seats.

AND THIS The Georgia Recount in Fulton County Delayed By (ahem) “Dominion Server Crash?”

ROTFLOL. It’s getting to be so amusing out there........a laugh a minute.

In their misbegotten rush to gain power, the stupid cheaters have made so many mistakes.

This last ditch effort to do a CYA is just another clown show.......a peachy keen Keystone Cop vignette.

Can someone tell me who decides if a case will be heard in the SCOTUS?

"...is why CIA Tucker was trying to bully Powell into releasing more sooner."

Tucker's a journalist, and is trying to get a story - that's his job.

And he is NOT the bullying type (even if he wanted to be).

Yes, been seeing constant shutdowns by PAS/C - curious, are they all dems, the ubiquitous “obama appointed” fleur-d’lis branding on their slooped shoulders?
