'Nothing there': More Republicans are calling out Trump's election lies [yahoo]
yahoo ^ | June 28, 2021 | Chuck Todd and Mark Murray and Carrie Dann

Posted on 06/28/2021 10:23:35 AM PDT by MarvinStinson

The more we learn about Donald Trump’s baseless, false and discredited claims about the 2020 election, the more baseless, false and discredited those claims have become.

Just consider the revelations over the past week — from Republicans:

In Michigan, a GOP-led investigation by its state Senate concluded that it “found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election.” (Remember, Biden won Michigan by more than 150,000 votes.)

Regarding Arizona, a report co-authored by former Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson criticized the so-called “audit” of the election results in that state, saying it “does not meet the standards of a proper election recount or audit,” and that it’s being conducted by an “inexperienced, unqualified contractor.”

And over the weekend, ABC’s Jon Karl writing for the Atlantic had former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr debunking Trump’s claims about the 2020 election results. “If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there,” Barr said. “It was all bullsh!#.”

Predictably, Trump lashed out at those GOP findings.

“Michigan State Senators Mike Shirkey and Ed McBroom are doing everything possible to stop Voter Audits in order to hide the truth about November 3rd,” the former president said in a statement, which even included those state senators’ phone numbers.

And on Barr, Trump added: “RINO former Attorney General Bill Barr failed to investigate election fraud, and really let down the American people.”

But as surprising as it is that one-third of Americans believe President Biden’s 2020 win was due to voter fraud, it’s maybe even more surprising just how flimsy — and discredited — those fraud allegations are.

Even Bill Barr doesn’t buy them.

“The fact these people are coming out with these proclamations before the release of the AZ audit tells me they’re worried.”

Not sure. Anything from these spineless dolts could mean the opposite. Perhaps they hear there is nothing conclusive coming from the AZ audit, why else are they now all saying the same thing. They had no backbone to say this before the audit.

This is from NBC News, via Yahoo News. “News” articles are supposed include the facts only. No opinions. Yet this article is filled with opinions. This is very sad, and very troubling.

For example, it’s not for the author the to decide if Trump’s claims are “baseless”. It should be up to the reader.

“There is zero evidence of fraud.”
“There is fraud but just a tiny bit.”
There was fraud but not massive fraud.”
“There was massive fraud but not enough to change the results.”
“ INSURRECTIONIST!!!”

Look at it this way. If the corrupt criminal enterprise known as the DNC and Obozo got away with eight years of BS regarding Obozo’s illegitimate presidency, why would they not think they can pitch the same BS with regard to Biden’s fraudulent presidency?

I think you’re onto it. If the claims the article makes are true, we can get to the bottom of it after the audit is completed. Their arguments ring hollow when you look at how the election itself was run. It’s a little bit like cold cocking someone and then crying foul when they get up and punch you in the arm.

Funny how this works..Hillary Clinton and and others on the commie left for FIVE YEARS claimed that Donald Trump did not win the presidency, that he was an illegitimate president because Russia switched the votes..heck on inauguration day they had protests all over the country protesting Trumps win..so thats all allowed, no “big lie” there..yet Trump can say that the election was stolen from him and its a lie..Ok so I want apologies from ALL those on the left who claimed that Trump did not win in 2016 to apologize..to his face

In Michigan, a GOP-led investigation by its state Senate concluded that it “found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election.”


But it did cite several areas of apparent illegal behavior, more of inappropriate behavior where the law wasn’t sufficiently defined, and numerous areas where what happened prevented any assessment of whether fraud - even large scale fraud - occurred or not. But yeah, pick that line out of the report, and play it up as the whole report.

And over the weekend, ABC’s Jon Karl writing for the Atlantic had former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr debunking Trump’s claims about the 2020 election results. “If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there,” Barr said. “It was all bullsh!#.”


He may feel that way more broadly, but he was specifically addressing a certain type of electronic vote switching.

Unless I remember wrong, precincts in Detroit received late night deliveries of tens of thousands of ballots, all pre marked and identical in every way. A truck driver testified under penalty of perjury to that, and others also corroborated it. The only way to know, is a forensic audit, not just a phony recount. Unless this is included in the “found no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan’s prosecution of the 2020 election.” then this article means nothing. Audit the Vote, do it now!
