Trump cancels press conference on election fraud claims, citing attorneys’ advice
apnews.com ^ | August 18, 2023 | JILL COLVIN

Former President Donald Trump now says he won’t be holding a news conference next week to unveil what he claims is new “evidence” of fraud in Georgia’s 2020 presidential election — even though no fraud has ever been substantiated — citing the advice of lawyers as he prepares to face trial in two criminal cases that stem from his election lies.

No compelling evidence of the wide-scale fraud Trump alleges has emerged in the two-and-a-half years since the election in Georgia or elsewhere, despite Trump’s baseless claims. Republican officials in the state have long said he lost fairly and three recounts there confirmed President Joe Biden’s win.

“Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment,” Trump wrote on his social media site Thursday in announcing his reversal.

The fact the Enemedia has to repeat this chant 100 times a day, in the vain effort to convince us it's true.

Yep.
Their poker face sucks.

Your post 15 says it all.

I'm so sick of all the lying traitors aiding and abetting the Communist takeover of our nation, by attacking the one man trying to stop it- President Trump.

Pray for President Trump. Pray for America.

I don’t know if you were ever a fan of the newest Battlestar Galactica, but I just watched season 2’s “Lay Down Your Burdens Part 2.”

Watching Roslyn work to steal the election was a perfect analogy for 2020.

I wonder if that part were to be uploaded to YouTube if it would have their idiotic disinformation warnings posted below their video player.

If you watched any of Mike Lindell’s Election Summit, you saw so much evidence of Election Fraud that it’s ridiculous, but it’s all intentionally ignored. The Uniparty selects who they want to “win” elections.

Correct the Kraken is still in hiding but as long as we continue to trust the plan the Kraken will be released at the appropriate time, maybe Lindell and his drones can find the Kraken and release it

I watched it. I think the DS is just embarrassed Mike captured the China Packets instead of them.

I guess the NSA thought the ISDN line connecting the US mainland to the Internet was impenetrable, but Mike knew if there was some crack in the pipe he'd be the one to find it.

We have Anti-Trumpers lurking here first thing in the AM. It’s like the alcoholic needing a drink, they can’t help themselves. As soon as they get out of bed they can’t wait to bash the man.

Trump now has standing. I can’t see how a judge will disallow this in court.

The following proves that he believed strongly that the election was rigged.

I agree, it is better to have the attorneys present this as a court filing.

Thanks for the early morning Truth. The judge fell victim to one of the classic blunders - Discovery!

The judge’s/prosecution’s strategy is to gag order all defense.
btw ap propagandist Jill Colvin propagates four lies in the first two sentences.

“When you hire attorneys to defend you in a court of law, it’s usually a good idea to listen to them-”
Ummm, I think he has experience in this area. Attorneys tend to be totally submissive to even tyrannical rogue biased judges, which most in Trump’s cases are.
“usually” should should be a more qualified ‘usually”.

Smart move, IMHO.

Better to reveal the evidence in court, so the prosecutors (and persecutors) don’t have the chance to try the case in the media.

A lot could happen in 15 months. Gas could be over $4 or $5 per gallon, inflation isn’t going anywhere ... many more in the “middle” will vote for Trump for obvious reasons.

The demonkkrap strategy is all Alinsky ... focus on Trump’s personality, slander, libel, ridicule at peak decibels, keep isolating him 24/7, censor info and plant fake stories via their givernment-big tech complex and then claim repeatedly Trump is a radical, divisive, [criminal], racist man. It has worked ... I see FReepers who have been so influenced.

If election integrity is not an issue in 2024, it will be as easy or easier for the demonkkraps to rig and steal the election ... it won’t matter who is running against the demonkkraps. The “middle” doesn’t wake up until after Labor Day 2024, and the demonkkraps will continue to control the narrative ... but it can’t control what people have happening in their own lives, at the pump, at the store, or in the dark alley that they have to walk down. More of this with FJB, or Trump? Make your pick.

Actually holding back now is good ... don’t shoot the cannon too soon. It could be a two pronged strategy and timing of the presentation is key. In addition, the closer it is presented near the election the better off. When it comes to voting, people have short memories. More people will not forget what they heard/saw unless there is a huge “news” blackout - censoring. I would not be surprised if the demonkkrap prosecutors try to delay til after the election to keep these things from impacting the voters.

Nonetheless, Trump’s team can put on their evidence in the court and in the public square at the same time. Working the jury and building the voting public support...It was very effective for OJ Simpson. And if the jury goes against significant public opinion for Trump’s plight, it could be bad news for the demonkkraps at the voting booth in November.

“...three recounts there confirmed President Joe Biden’s win...”

Note to the brainless idiot Jill Colvin: When you recount tens of thousands of illegal ballots cast, you will get the same result. The fix is to throw away those illegal ballots first and then do a recount. But you are a typical leftist propagandist who doesn’t understand math. /spit
