There is a breaking story today about a tape-recorded call which is said to have taken place yesterday between President Trump and the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger.
This is an interesting story in light of the article I published earlier today about the valid election challenge that remains pending in Georgia, with signs that it is being purposely stalled until such time as the outcome of the case can have no impact on either the election or public perception of the events playing out right now.
The tape was obtained by the Washington Post, but several media outlets are reporting on the contents today.
But the context of the conversation, and Pres. Trump’s comments seem to be mischaracterized to some degree. Most of the “usual suspects” in the media are treating the President’s comments as if he was demanding that Raffesperger fabricate inaccurate election results, referencing Trump’s suggestion that Georgia simply “recalculate” the outcome such that the numbers come out in his favor. But, in the same comment, it is reported that Pres. Trump again claimed that there is no possible way he lost the vote in Georgia and his claim that he won the state by “hundreds of thousands” of votes.
It is also noted that the call involved other participants. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Cleta Mitchell, a Republican lawyer, were also on the call. I have not seen any clear statement yet that Pres. Trump participated during the entire length of the call, said to have been an hour. I have a suspicion that he did not....

I hadn’t looked at Drudge...Honest...LOL...I haven’t looked at Drudge Report in over a year...
I get a kick out of the photo they have up..it looks like a nod to Trump as The Godfather
No pearls involved here...but, honestly, just for variety’s sake, it would be nice if occasionally one of these “incriminating” leaks could be tied to a Democrat.
Without the msm immediately “clarifying”, “justifying” or simply “explaining” what the Democrat truly and honorably meant with his/her comments.
“The title of this article says that Trump may have harmed his ability to take a second term because of this call..”
You posted your response about 30 seconds after I posted the article. You could not have had time to read it, nor read the other article posted on RedState by the same author which is a companion piece to this article.
“But left out of the article altogether is the subject I wrote about earlier — the pending lawsuit brought by the campaign challenging the outcome on the basis that tens of thousands of invalid votes were cast by persons not eligible to vote. Raffensperger dismisses those claims outright in the last sentence, but the FACTS are that those claims have never been litigated where the evidence — whatever it might be — can be considered. “
Shipwrecked Crew asks what is on many people’s minds, which is basically how much damage the leaked call did to Trump’s cause.
He explains that the call only does damage to the extent that the media and Rinos’s are going to spin it to help the Demonrats’ cause, which we all know, but that much in the call has been mischaracterized.
Like when the perfect Ukraine call triggered his impeachment? He might be on top of the legality, but repeatedly fumbled the politics, giving plenty of ammo to his enemies who then used it to undermine his presidency.
Dang!!!!
I’m not gonna break my string and go look...Can you post it here???
listening to now, its being censored, especially when he says one womans name who had the hidden ballots.
my laptop is messed up thanks to cortana so no...
It looks straight out of the Godfather so dont know if real photo or photoshop
What a bunch of garbage. Trump said nothing that was not true.
With a flammable title like that, why would I read the article?
I’m not going to read something like that anymore than an article titled “Did Trump rape space girls from Mars?”
That’s OK...Hope your laptop is OK...
I’ll just use imagination...I love the “Godfather” movies...
i went to look at the scene and it looks like the same chair..so must be a photo shop...its a pretty good job
President Trump has given both Kemp and Raffensperger plenty of opportunities to act according to the law. Neither has chosen to do so, and both must now face the consequences of their failures. They've refused to uphold the oaths of office they took, and the Constitution of the United States. Book 'em Danno!
I really dont get people who just want to bury their hand in the sand. This is breaking everywhere. Being talked about everywhere...and we are supposed to pretend it didnt happen?
You can bet Mitch is going to use this as leverage
No, but it is worth it to register the objections.
I’ve been listening to the call. The media is completely mischaracterizing what is in the call. Listen to it for yourself. Trump is simply asking for the fraud to be looked into. They go through multiple incidents of fraud and the GA SOS and his lawyers will have nothing to do with it. They push back on Trump and insist the SOS numbers are correct, which implies there is no fraud. What complete and utter BS. These people need to be tried, convicted and hanged for an coordinated election coup.
I think Mitch gave the go ahead to leak this..notice it didnt come until he started losing control of his members
Shhhh,
the Kraken will be released any minute now. It will be so YUGE that even the Democrats in the house will vote to overturn the results, just you watch!!! Lin Wood who everyone has said is brilliant said so!
