Bush 2000 recount lawyer says Trump election suits are ‘entirely without merit’
CNBC ^ | 11.6.2020 | Thomas Franck

Election law experts, including one of President George W. Bush’s top campaign attorneys, say the Trump campaign’s current lawsuits lack compelling evidence and are not likely to change the outcome of the 2020 contest.

Asked for comment on President Donald Trump’s claims of illegal absentee and mail-in ballots, former Bush attorney Barry Richard said none of the campaign’s current suits appear to be supported by evidence.

“I think the lawsuits filed so far are entirely without merit and will not be successful,” Richard, who served as a lead attorney for the Republican candidate during the 2000 recount in Florida, wrote in an email.

Nope, news organizations spent nine months after the election going over every ballot in Florida and could not make Al Gore the winner.

Not true the media determined it was how you count the votes if Gore would have used the equal protection act across the whole state he would have won

Barry Richard was a Democratic state representative in the 1970s.

His wife was one of Obama's top bundlers in Florida.

She is a former lobbyist who headed Florida's Democratic Party 2013-2016, and was just elected to the state legislature.

I think Richard probably got the Bush job because they wanted somebody who knew the state law and the players in Florida politics.

I guess in Florida, when you're a swamp creature, you really are a swamp creature.

Bush wasn’t really a conservative.

GHWB and GWB must have been most unhappy as “Republicans.” Maybe they were (are) stealth Democrats.

Still they did us Justices Thomas and Alito!

How did the guy who hid in his basement get the most votes of ANYONE IN HISTORY?!!!!


https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-biden-popular-vote-record-barack-obama-us-presidential-election-donald-trump/

In 2008, Barack Obama earned 69,498,516 votes in the presidential election, the most ever. Now, Mr. Obama’s former vice president, Democratic nominee Joe Biden, has surpassed that tally, with a record 72,263,868 votes (50.4% of the total), and counting, in the 2020 election.

You forgot LBJ, Jimmy Carter, and Clinton — and don’t forget Millard Fillmore! Fillmore ranks right up there with the worst of the worst.

These must be the “valid rank & file Republicans” Savannah mentioned on NBC. (just caught a few seconds of that channel). They seemed so happy and serene. Blech.

“Hanging chad” means exactly the same thing as “testing positive for COVID 19”.

"Most lawyers spend their entire professional lives standing or sitting, so I don't know how that could be true."

I admit I chuckled, KevinB.

Thank God for the good lawyers on our side. It is a shame they are needed. I think also of David Gibbs et al. who formed the Christian Law Association, Conneaut OH. Now based in Mason OH He is also quite the gospel preacher.

The system is bad, as bad as human sinful nature can make it, and works for the benefit and enrichment of the lawyers. No surprise since we send lawyers to the capital to make the laws, and they make law with such ambiguity that encourages and increases conflict. Then they offer their services to us at a monopolistic price, to resolve the conflict for us.
+And the lawyer said, "Yes but who created the chaos?"
+"Yeah...but who gets the pigs?" the young one asked. The lawyer said, "We...get the pigs."

Mas Ayoob was expert witness called defending a citizen self-defense shooting, ultimately justified. Opposing counsel sneered at him, and then looked at the jury when he said,
"You remember sir that you are under oath?"
"I do remember that I am under oath and you sir are not." He was ready for this, "I will suffer penalties if I lie, but you sir, an officer of the court, can mislead the good people of this jury with impunity!"

My sainted mother, now with the Lord was a teacher as was my Grandma, my daughter, my wife. Saying there are good lawyers is like saying there are good teachers. Yes momma was a good and beautiful soul indeed. And she was part of a corrupt system that is destroying our country, how well she knew. 2 Peter 2:8.

Thank you for your service KevinB and I know what you will do if we ever need you!

Ironic, since Gillum was caught in a homosexual orgy.
