Trump lawyers suffer embarrassing rebukes from judges over voter fraud claims
Washington Post ^ | Nov 11, 2020 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 11/11/2020 11:30:11 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

By now, it’s well-established that most of the arguments put forward by President Trump’s reelection campaign in its challenge of the results of the 2020 election are baseless and highly speculative. Even Trump allies, as The Washington Post reported late Tuesday, acknowledge the apparent futility of the effort. Others have reasoned that there’s no harm in going through the motions, with one anonymous GOP official asking, “What’s the downside for humoring him” for a little while? ....

The most famous scene came in Pennsylvania, where a Trump lawyer strained to avoid acknowledging that their people were, in fact, allowed to observe the vote-counting process in Philadelphia:

At the city’s federal courthouse on Thursday evening, attorneys for Trump asked a judge to issue an emergency order to stop the count, alleging that all Republican observers had been barred.

Under sharp questioning from Judge Paul S. Diamond, however, they conceded that Trump in fact had “a nonzero number of people in the room,” leaving Diamond audibly exasperated.

“I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?” asked Diamond, who was appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush. Denying Trump’s request, Diamond struck a deal for 60 observers from each party to be allowed inside.

I heard one anonymous co-worker of A-aron Blake say “What’s the big deal about Aaron's child sex trafficking”.

As far as I can tell the article’s main factual point...is factual.

I’d be happy to see a source contrary.

But it looks like observers were allowed in to observe the counting. And Trump’s team acknowledged same.

Where are the lawsuits with bombshell evidence of enough fake votes to overturn Biden’s leads?

And if there are that many fake votes, there was criminal wrongdoing. Where are the indictments?

I’m sorry, but I haven’t seen these bombshells yet. When are they going to be announced?

I want Trump to win as much as anybody, maybe more, so I want to see the
hard evidence of crimes, to make that happen. If they keep filing lawsuits without that kind of bombshell stuff - and unless they show grounds for indictments of specific people - then get ready for President Biden.

What kind of idiot logic is this judge pushing?

When I walk into Walmart, I’m ‘in the same room’ as the people 400 feet away. It doesn’t mean I can read the numbers on their credit card they’re paying with. Duh!

a nonzero number of people in the room


What the hell is that? Maybe it was -60. That is also "nonzero".

When the War starts, just remember that Presstitutes all across this country fomented the anger intentionally.

The Bushies at wapo derp state push the views of a minor circuit judge who supported the decision to ALLOW 60 observers from EACH SIDE... and dismissed the case without prejudice.

IOW a Federal judge TOLD the freaking dems they cannot bar observers from the large room that is over 200 by 200 feet
with over 100 tables in it.

60 observers each side no more than 6 feet away from each table. Well within detection distance for identifying electronic markers.

compare these two stories:

WAPo says he recanted: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/postal-worker-fabricated-ballot-pennsylvania/2020/11/10/99269a7c-2364-11eb-8599-406466ad1b8e_story.html?utm_medium=social

He says he NEVER recanted and stands by his affidavit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKhXBU_IgYo&feature=youtu.be

Who to believe?

The stakes must be sky high for them to lie so blatantly.

Isn’t this the case where the Judge ordered Repubs be allowed into the vote count and when they were it was discovered the Dems had moved the vote counting tables?

What am I missing here?

Oh, never mind...

That is correct-— they violated a George Bush appointee FEDERAL Circuit judge’s decision— and continued to bar GOP.

Then came the Second SCOTUS order. They are in deep shite.

Were the 60 imaginary observers the ones told to get binos?

Pennsylvania is going to the USSC. The Washington Post and Judge Diamond know it. If not for this case, then another.

How To Find A Million Fraudulent Biden Ballots (no watermark required)!

(1) Identify ballots with sole vote cast for Biden

(2) Identify the state representative (not Congress, state = small districts) for the precinct.

(3) Verify that the state representative candidates on the ballot match the state representatives that should be on ballots in the precinct.

(4) Disqualify as fraudulent any ballots where the state representative candidates and the precinct do not match.

(5) Trump/Pence is re-elected.

Audit any ballots that remain in the precincts.

My question too:

a nonzero number of people in the room

What the hell is that? Maybe it was -60. That is also “nonzero”

What were they asking? What dies this mean?
