Trump cancels press conference on election fraud claims, citing attorneys’ advice

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.

Shocking that’s he now a kept man. Very much on a short leash. I bet he’s stomping around. Lol.

When you hire attorneys to defend you in a court of law, it's usually a good idea to listen to them - that's why they're there.

You're about as funny as the plague.

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 by a publicity & campaign finance seeking D.A., who sadly presides over a record breaking Murder & Violent Crime area, Atlanta. Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!

It will come out in court. Just giving the corrupt D.A. a taste of her own BS.

If you’ve got the goods, don’t hesitate. Announce it to the world.
And if you don’t, please don’t tease us. It’s demoralizing.

Oh, and was there actually election fraud? Please see my tagline.

I don't feel teased or demoralized. I trust Trump, not you.

Is he sick? Why would he take his attorneys advice?

I would have thought his lawyers would be part of this exonerating report but I guess not.

Check my recent posts. I am all-in for Trump, especially after all the political persecutions. But it doesn’t matter what you or I think. What matters is what the middle thinks. They will decide the next election.

Lindell says he has the goods. Then no, he doesn’t. Trump says he has the goods. Then no, he doesn’t. I don’t care. I will write in Trump if I have to. But the GOP-leaning middle will care, and become demoralized by it. Think of Charlie Brown and the football.

So you chose sarcasm instead of advancing a good conversation. Pity, as I enjoy - and often learn from - good conversations here. Anyway, as I noted earlier, check my recent posts if you care to. I am all-in for Trump.

I suppose our conversation as now at a dead end. So I will wish you a good evening, and leave it at that.

“Election lies,” “baseless claims” — Not exactly objective reporting.

Either great sarcasm on your part of a completely delusional take.

You say it only matters what the “middle” thinks. Yeah, the “middle” of the night when the totals are adjusted to suite the dems.

The fact is Georgia AG Ratsberger would not
allow an investigation, and they pulled the
lack of standing BS and kept this mountain
of data out of court where the guilty would
face vote fraud charges.

If it hadn’t been widely exposed by the film
2000 Mules they could have swept it under the
rug because the RNC sure doesn’t want fairness

Kemp is sleazy and Georgia should be boycotted

We are all paying for letting Dems steal the
election. And just wait the Dollar is no longer
going to be rated as the world’s currency and
we all will have our retirement savings and banks
in big trouble.

Elections have consequences. Pray for Trump

You’ve got that right. Relatively free and fair elections are probably a thing of the past (see my tagline). The media doesn’t care about election fraud, and neither does the GOPe.

Some folks here think Trump must win by 5%+ to overcome all the cheating. I fear that number might be too low.

You know what's a serious 'tell'?

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

There you go again with your vivid imagination. You should have been a screen writer.

"What matters is what the middle thinks. They will decide the next election."

If you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you. The people collecting the fraudulent absentee ballots, and counting them will decide the 2024 election, just like they've been doing for years.

The middle will decide the next election, but only if the GOP margin can beat the D margin of cheating (please see my post #16).

That’s a high hurdle, indeed. But since the GOPe shows no interest in election reform, it’s the only option we have. Try to woo the middle so that their vote overcomes the certain D voter fraud.
