Debategate! Harris vs. Trump: The Fix Was In—And It’s Not Just the Podium
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-16-24 | Jeff Childers

One thing we’ve learned throughout the pandemic is that the media always rushes out a distracting violent catastrophe as soon as any embarrassing news threatens to break. So as soon as I heard the news about Routh’s arrest, I wondered whether there was some other story they were trying to obliterate with a second assassination story.

I found it almost instantly.

To get the story in any media, we must travel all the way to the ancient land of India. Yesterday, Times Now ran an article headlined “ABC Whistleblower's Alleged Affidavit Surfaces: Top Claims About Harris-Trump Debate.

In the potentially explosive affidavit, a whistleblower (name redacted), first stated he lives in Manhattan and has worked for ABC for over ten years in various technical and management positions. He —I’m going with ‘he,’ but we don’t know for sure— then referred to liberal changes in ABC’s editorial policies since 1996 — suggesting he has worked at ABC for a long time.

He claimed ABC has a massive anti-Trump bias, and then described details about close, unfair pre-debate coordination between ABC and the Harris campaign.

It’s important to remember that anyone can type up and sign an affidavit. Affidavits are considered evidence, but they are subject to rebuttal, and are evaluated for credibility. So, before we look at the claims, let’s consider the most remarkable and most credible feature of this affidavit: it was prepared, signed, and notarized before the September 10th debate.

The affidavit accurately predicted, ahead of time, exactly what we all saw play out the next day. You can’t get any more credible than that.

True, the pre-debate date could have been faked. But the whistleblower anticipated that challenge, and so (according to the affidavit), he also:

—  sent a certified letter containing the affidavit to himself, postmarked September 9th, which remains unopened;

—  dispatched a FedEx package with the affidavit on September 9th, delivered to his residence on September 10th, which remains unopened; and

— sent a certified letter with the affidavit to Speaker Mike Johnson on September 9th.

Call all that life insurance. (Initial online rumors he died in a car crash were just that, and my best is intentional disinformation.)

In other words, the whistleblowing affiant can prove he signed his prophetic affidavit before the debate. But he offered even more evidence. In the affidavit’s most potentially explosive claim, the whistleblower claimed he has recordings:

That allegation of recordings must make ABC’s lawyers extremely nervous. They don’t know exactly what they can safely lie about.

Now for the claims. The whistleblower claimed that the Harris campaign insisted on certain secret conditions, to which ABC agreed, including that:

Even with all the “advantages” (Cheating) she still beclowned herself.

“Harris got other accommodations, such as a special podium”

What the hell is that supposed to mean?.....and it would explain perfectly why she power moved DJT and walked over to his podium to shake hands.....she didn’t want him near hers for what ever reason.

Her voice was heavily EQ’ed to make it sound closer, fuller and ‘warmer’.

And in four years, the Republicans will, once again, agree to a rigged debate. It’s the definition of insanity.

The explosive blast would be

— Harris would not be asked about her brother-in-law Tony West, a former top Obama DOJ official and Uber executive, who was alleged to have helped embezzle billions (with a ‘B’) of taxpayer dollars and is being floated for Attorney General in a Harris Administration.

I hadn’t heard this before.

ABC’s fact checking would have been more effective if further investigation did not reveal that Trump was right. The ABC moderators will be forever disgraced.

Bloggers who post good analysis (and not just a link to a regular article) deserve to get the hits

I’m curious about the claim that an agreement was reached that certain questions would not be asked of Harris, or else she wouldn’t participate. Those last 5 words don’t make total sense to me.

A friendly agreement — “Please don’t ask about these things” “Okay, you have our word” — that makes sense.

But “or else we won’t participate”? The nature of a real debate is to ask surprising questions. What is the Harris team saying? “If you mention dementia, Kamala will just walk off stage”? That would be quite a sight!

The “or else we won’t participate” sounds odd in another way — what happens if they DO surprise her and ask about something on the list? What would she say “Hey!! We had a deal!! You know you’re not supposed to ask me that! It’s on the list I gave you!”

That seems like it would be embarrassing all around.

We used to call this type of activity:
Making Illegal In Kind Political COntributions

and it is a FELONY worthy of Criminal Prosecution and Prison Time, see Dinesh D’Souza.

Where are the Formal complaints to the FEC?? Why aren’t there Hundreds of them?

Did you see HRC’s podium that was rigged to cheat? She spent much of her time looking down as if there were a teleprompter and something kept lighting up. One of her minions rushed to her podium immediately after and removed a small box and wires.

Her podium was allegedly smaller so she would appear taller and in command.
Others have mentioned Trump’s podium was also unsuitable for him, with the microphone placed low and away, forcing him to lean in.

Even if she had all those special effects, she sounded very nasal.

Both moderators should be fired along with anyone else at ABC associated with this fraud.

That plus ten bucks gets me a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Time to stop playing games where the Democrats make the rules.
