Georgia judge approves special grand jury for Trump election interference probe
CNBC ^ | 24 January 2022 | Dan Mangan

Posted on 01/24/2022 1:50:02 PM PST by zeestephen

Days before Biden's win was certified by Congress, Trump in a January 2, 2021, phone call pressured Georgia's secretary of state to "find" him enough votes to reverse Biden's win in that state.

"I have to agree with you. President Trump was his own worst enemy with his phone calls and never taking care that his enemies are always listening for a mis-step. He trusted the GOP in Georgia too much and just like the Ukraine telephone call, they have his call on recording. One way or another they will bring down Trump, just a matter of time." - Engedi

I try to be fair and not jump to hard conclusions one way or the other based on very limited data. At the time that I made that statement I did not have access to the fuller security cam data which was eventually made available by the GA SoS. After carefully watching that video I am more confident that this behavior (which many here interpret as nefarious multiple scanning of ballots) was simply a result of the ballot scanning machines frequently jamming/misreading ballots due to heavy usages and the unavailability of cleaning sheets for the scanning machines (as documented by GA election monitor Carter Jones in his working notes which were recently made public.)

It is to laugh.

“Hey Ruby honey, get them boxes of ballots under the table. You know, the ones we set aside because they jammed a lot.”

Thank you and Heaven for your post.

I have noticed that Qilin can be counted on to produce a negative opinion of President Trump EVERYTIME.

You would think Q would choose another website, on the other hand, perhaps Q thinks there are those here who would agree with those opinions.

I, for one, SKIP RIGHT OVER THE Q PRONOUNCEMENTS.
And I think the individual needs help.

> “Well, he asked Raffensperger to find more votes and he intimated that not doing so would amount to a “criminal offense” and would be a “big risk” (legally) to Raffensperger and his lawyer.”

We heard the audio of the full actual call. What you heard was Raffensperger’s version. Raffensperger is dirty beyond doubt. His deal with Staci Abrams sealed his fate. When this war is over, Raffensperger will be tried for treason and treason carries the death penalty.

> “Coming from the POTUS, this goes a good deal beyond just a friendly and polite ask.”

It didn’t come from Trump.

> “But regardless of whether it was legal or not, ...”

You reveal yourself. You strain at a gnat yet swallow a camel.

Are you certain? I've read the transcripts and listened to call. In fact, I just listened to the call again. Here's what Trump said:

https://youtu.be/VIJU3M-kKhI
But and I think you're going to find that they by the way, a little information, I think you're going to find that they are shredding ballots because they have to get rid of the ballots, because the ballots are unsigned, the ballots are, are corrupt and they're brand new and they don't have seals. There's a whole thing where the ballots but the ballots are corrupt and you're going to find that they are, which is totally illegal. It's, it's more illegal for you than it is for them, because you know what they did and you're not reporting it. That's just, you know, that's a criminal, that's a criminal offense. And, you know, you can't let that happen. That's, that's a big risk to you and to Ryan. Your lawyer is that's a big risk. But they are (crosstalk) shredding ballots, in my opinion, based on what I've heard. And they are removing machinery and they're moving it as fast as they can, both of which are criminal fines. And you can't let it happen. And you are letting it happen. You know, I mean, I'm notifying you that you're letting it happen, so.

> It didn’t come from Trump.

Well, as you can see it did come from Trump. As I said in an earlier post, certainly sketchy as hell and maybe even illegal.

Listening to that call again just now has reminded how absolutely clueless Trump was. He was so misinformed in this call with Raffensperger that it is almost painful to listen to. You'd like to think that POTUS would have access to the best and latest information, but instead it appears that he was getting the bulk of his "intelligence" from Gateway Pundit and other "Trump media" sources. It is embarrassing.

> What may be less well-known among Freepers — but not for long — is that you are a braggart who boasts about having trolled FreeRepublic under a different name before being banned.

I was never banned from FR. That account is still around. I just abandoned it many years ago and no longer have the email address associated with it. What I posted on that account was pretty standard Freeper fare for that time: anti-illegal immigration, anti-radical Islam, anti-homosexual marriage, anti-PRC (a little ahead of my time on this one), pro-military, pro-law enforcement, etc.

"At the time that I made that statement I did not have access to the fuller security cam data which was eventually made available by the GA SoS."

In fact, that video which you asserted "it does look suspicious" was indeed the "fuller security cam data" that had been "made available by the GA SoS" under an Open Records request!

You literally cannot keep your lies straight. When you said "I have to admit that it does look suspicious", you were knew you were commenting from watching the entirety of all the SoS-released State Farm Arena video, because that was the subject matter of the very thread in which you posted!

Not only that, but in order to have watched that video, you heard attorney Bob Cheeley's careful narration of the State Farm video, which again prompted you to state "I have to admit that it does look suspicious":

"They were told that night that the vote would be suspended because of a "water main break". There were 5 women who worked for 2 1/2 hours scanning ballots. The disturbing thing about it ... wearing a purple top .. you can see this lady is taking the same stack of ballots, once she scans the ballots sticks them back in, and scans them a second time, a third time ... and the lady to her right, wearing a yellow top, she does the same thing ... 'One Man, One Vote' just went out the window at State Farm Arena on the night of Nov. 3, 2020."

"I served an Open Records request ... upon Fulton County ... we need to know who these women are ... they need to come before this panel, under oath, under penalty of perjury, and testify about those ballots ... because I think that these people would be pleading the 5th Amendment." - Bob Cheeley

Imagine that, Bob Cheeley called it like it is, and there you were to back him up, "I have to admit that it does look suspicious". BTW, where's his lawsuit, Chinacorn? LOFL.

FreeRepublic is not fertile ground for a CCP simp, Chinacorn. There are no takers here for a Trump-hating, Freeper-hating rat f-cker!

What I actually said was, "I have to admit that it does look suspicious, but I’m not ready to convict." You have a tendency to take snippets of things I have posted out of context. It is a bit like what Giuliani and the rest Trump's legal time did with the security cam video at State Farm.

As far as your assertion that I'm a liar, I can tell you that I have never lied about any of these matters regarding the election. So far you have not caught me in a single lie. And you won't, because I haven't lied. I only became aware that the GA SoS had made public many hours of the security video when Gabe Sterling announced this during his (factually correct, as far as I can ascertain) press conference on Jan. 4th. You should know this because you apparently have gone through my entire posting history. In any case, here's what I wrote on Jan. 1 at 3:09:34 AM on that same thread:
I would also like to see the full security video released. Trump’s lawyers have had it for almost a month. Why not release it to the public so we can see it in its entirety? We can then see for our own eyes when the ballots were placed under the table and by whom? The question about the chain of custody of the ballots came up during the Dec 3rd GA Judiciary Subcommittee meeting and at the time Traci Picks claimed they hadn’t had enough time to make the determination (which I don’t believe.) They’ve had plenty of time now, so why don’t we know yet? Why haven’t we seen the full video? The GA SoS investigator claims that the ballots were placed under the table around 10pm with the state monitor, media and election observers present. If that’s not the case, then why don’t the Trump lawyers refute this with footage from the security video?

Also, on Jan. 3rd at 4:38:28PM, in response to a poster asking if I had seen the video of the alleged multiple scanning of ballots, I posted the following:
Yes, I did. I admit that looks suspicious, but I’m not ready to convict. But for the sake of argument let’s say each of the two ladies scanned their stack four times (if they had done more Trump’s team would have certainly pointed it out) and all those votes went to Biden. Given the time it took to scan (and the max rate of the Dominion machines — 3000 ballots/hr I believe) this would have been at most a few hundred notes. Definitely not enough to swing the note. In any case, I’d like to see the entire video so I can see whether that behavior was really out of the ordinary or not.
It should be clear from this that I had not seen the many hours of video that was (at some point on or before Jan. 4th) released by the GA SoS at that time that I wrote, "I have to admit that it does look suspicious, but I’m not ready to convict" on Dec. 31st.

> Imagine that, Bob Cheeley called it like it is, and there you were to back him up, "I have to admit that it does look suspicious".

See how you take what I say out of context to score points? It is really not very honest, is it? We are not politicians (at least I'm not.) There's no reason we need to engage in this sort of dishonesty just because we don't agree with one another.

The GA Senate "hearings" on the election (especially the second one) seemed to me to be little more than televised shows in front an almost entirely friendly audience of GA state legislators where Trump's legal team could put forth misinformation with essentially no push back. Bob Cheeley's presentation was, in my opinion, ridiculous -- as bad, if not worse, than the presentation Tracy Pick gave in the first "hearing."

Wow, you get teh zot.

It doesn't matter how many fake names you come up with, rube. You go on with your Google patents, and your BigPharma family, and your liberal enclave outside Houston, and you do you the best you can. The CCP already knows you are a losing proposition for them. Pay the bill, take the ride.
