Lawmakers worry 2020 will be a blueprint for stealing a future election
NBC ^ | 04/17/2022

Posted on 04/17/2022 5:49:09 AM PDT by devane617

Both a federal judge and the top Republican on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot have now reached the same stark conclusion: There is evidence to suggest Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election could be a crime.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said last weekend that her panel had compiled enough facts to refer Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution, while U.S. District Judge David Carter wrote last month that Trump and others undertook “a coup in search of a legal theory.”

Neither has the power to bring charges against the former president. That’s up to Attorney General Merrick Garland, whose focus to date has largely been the people who stormed the Capitol in a violent effort to keep Trump in power.

Trump denies any wrongdoing and his allies contend that Cheney has lost credibility as any sort of fair broker. Pointing to Cheney’s persistent criticism of Trump, Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told NBC News: “I couldn’t see the point in it other than that she was angry and bitter.”

At the rate we’re going, you think there’s going to be a 2024 election? Or a United States?

“How did Obama's first mid terms go? The Dems got CRUSHED!”

That was back in the days when even Democrats tried not to be too obvious with their voter fraud.

Now they don’t care if everyone knows they’re stealing elections.

Demonrats count as late as the judges allow them. It was January 2001 before the Supreme Court stopped the re-re-recount in Florida. Not that it mattered. As we learned to our horror later, Clinton and Bush were two made-men from the same syndicate.

They must anticipate Republicans winning, and suddenly it will be a patriotic duty to exclaim without proof how Republicans “cheated” while now it is “treason” to point to any of the Democrats’ tricks.

Yes. I can’t imagine why the Democrats would hold back. Steal it blantantly. Who will stop them?

There wouldn't be a need to if states and localities maintained their voter roles better.

Actually, Hillary Clinton and her campaign accused the Obama campaign of blatantly stealing the votes in the Dem primaries in a lot of states, including Illinois, which was true.

That’s up to Attorney General Merrick Garland...

He's a bit occupied - busy now 'fighting off' Covid.

No investigations into the Riots of Summer 2020, no investigations into the mysteriously-appearing Bidet&Co ballots in blue-run cities and states... just the bizarre fixation on Jan 6th demonstration and Capitol walk-thru. And no investigation into the murder of Ashley Babbitt in the Capitol.

“The Tree of Liberty...”

Democrat Recipe for Election Success:

1) Call any attempt to prevent voter fraud, “Racism!”
2) Commit massive voter fraud.
3) Call any attempt to question the voter fraud, “Criminal Insurrection!”

Alinsky and Orwell on SUPER STEROIDS. Accuse your enemy of what you are doing and TruthSpeak, contesting a stolen election constitutes stealing one.

I say, “Go ahead and try to prosecute Donald Trump and see what kind of uprising of millions of Americans takes place.”

Trump is the legitimately elected President of the USA by a mile. Period.

Eighty-one million Biden votes? What a joke?

Light the fuse.

What you wrote above is a true synopsis. Soooo, what can be done about it in Georgia given the number of powerful Republicans who go along with the fraud?

NPR is salivating non-stop over Trump and his son being prosecuted. We MUST defund NPR.

2020? How about 2018 for being the “proving ground”? That’s what brought The Squad into D.C., Gretchen Whitmer and her crew to MI, and more.

I know, right? They stole the thing blatantly and suffered zero consequences.

Why wouldn’t they do it again? Hell, bigger next time.
