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.”

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

Yes, Government-run fraud is just another sphere of administration.  And in administration and operations, our Federal government is a joke, a Keystone Cops operation every single day.

Imagine the guy they are putting up for POTUS.  He can't even play with a dog without fracturing his foot.  Back to the BASEMENT!  And keep your MASK ON!

That sort of pathetic public call out and bullying of a client’s attorney is not journalism and is not his job—except possibly as a Deep State/FNC stooge.

"That sort of pathetic public call out..."

I doubt Sydney Powell gives a rats ass about what Tucker Carlson says, and he doesn't take up any space in my mind either.

Sorry he's got your panties in a bunch, though....

Four Supreme Court Justices must agree to grant certiorari, basically ‘permission’ for a case to be considered by the high court.

Roberts cannot block consideration of a case if four justices agree to hear it.

Too bad he didnt fracture his head........he wont get a brain scan, even if we ask nice.

We really need to see if anything's in there.....besides those hair plugs.

Leave my panties alone!

Carlson has totally exposed himself just weeks after having already explained that Hunter Biden is a good guy he knows as a neighbor, and that he’s therefore “not going to kick a man when he’s down”—or cover any of his crimes further, including his treasonous sellout to China and other foreign influences on behalf of his veep father.

"...and that he’s therefore “not going to kick a man when he’s down”—"

He was referring to the sex and drug portion of the Hunter Biden story, which is separate from his treasonous activities.

Frankly, I don't want to hear about Hunter's escapades with coke and hookers.
The theft and graft? THAT'S what I want to follow.

That would be underage sexual crimes (and incest), not “hookers”.

And Tucker dropped the whole thing.
