Mark Meadows has testified that he told Trump several times that there was no basis to any claims of widespread election fraud
ABC News ^ | October 24, 2023 | Katherine Faulders, Mike Levine, and Alexander Mallin

Former President Donald Trump's final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith's team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The sources said Meadows informed Smith's team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump's prolific rhetoric regarding the election.

According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being "dishonest" with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in.

This wouldn’t have happened with DeSantis. Now, THAT’S a guy who knows how to hire! That’s why his campaign has been so successful!

1. How accurate were ABC News reports during the whole “Russia, Russia, Russia!” debacle?

2. How accurate were ABC News reports regarding the Ukraine Telephone Call Impeachment?

3. How accurate were ABC News reports with regard to the Hunter Laptop?

Just asking for a friend.

This is an orchestrated leak. Apparently, Meadows is about to take a plea deal and Fake News is burnishing his character in preparation for that.

So, Trump isn’t at all responsible for the fact that every hire and appointee is an inept, gigantic piece of shit, incapable of doing a good job.


LOL. Now you’re over the target.

LoL! Yeah, Trump just stood around and wars ended, tensions in the ME and Nort Korea eased, trade deals were renegotiated, Paris climate accords and TPP were nixed, the Supreme court flipped, ANWAR was opened, and illegal border crossings slowed to a trickle, all while he was being undermined from all quarters. And it all just sort of happened by itself. Riiight! Lol! You’re a funny guy!

There was “significant voting fraud,” but the methods varied.

So? What has that to do with the price of tea in China. What matters is whether Trump believed sincerely that fraud had occurred and that the remedies that existed were denied him.

Sometimes I think he would have done better just pulling people out of a crowd at random.

Isn’t testimony as to what Trump said called hearsay? Is hearsay allowed as evidence in a trial?

The key to understanding the hearsay rule is that there are numerous exceptions. Here, the testimony is admissible.

Corporate media is rarely, if ever, correct.

But even Trump routinely trashes people he hired or appointed and Trumpites follow suit, and when people point this out, they blame anyone other than Trump for the hires Trump made.

“But even Trump routinely trashes people he hired or appointed and Trumpites follow suit, and when people point this out, they blame anyone other than Trump for the hires Trump made.”

Despite all the criticisms of Trump's New York Style and his choices to head government agencies and cabinets, Trump was a success. Let's go down the Trump memory hole and review the Obama/Biden/Hillary impediments and Trump's successes.

To begin with there was the Hillary inspired Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax that was known to and thereby approved by the Obama/Biden Administration. Think about that, a previous POTUS purposely set out to obstruct an incoming administration. That has never happened in American history. This was unimaginable just 8 years ago.

Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden/Hillary Administration of spying on him? No, he was not. But who believed him? He was not being outrageous or narcissistic. Trump was accurate and told the truth. Don't forget Governor DeSantis was then Congressman DeSantis. What did Congressman DeSantis do about all that Hillary/Obama crap from 2012 thru 2018? FYI, DeSantis chaired the Subcommittee on National Security (Remember the illegal unsecured home server while she was Secretary of State?) and served on the Foreign Affairs (Hello Benghazi!) and Judiciary Committees (the deletion of 30,000 emails). To date DeSantis has not explained to Americans how he is going to decriminalize the out of control FBI, DOJ and DHS.

Then there were the two Impeachments 1 and 2 and finally the Special Prosecutor Investigation. Impeachment 2 - Trump gets impeached for one phone call with Zelenskyy while Biden's Crime Family made millions off of Ukraine's corrupt company Burisma. Simply unbelievable! Where is the accountability?

Despite the despicable, malicious, and bullying behavior by Obama, Biden and Hillary and the very anemic RINO response (then Speaker Ryan and then Majority Leader McConnell), which recent POTUS was as successful as Trump?

Here is a shortlist of Trump's accomplishments in the 4 years that were positives for the majority of if not ALL Americans:

The gas price per gallon was about $2.30 vs $3.80 under Biden (This is a cost increase of $30/20 gal refill for each American).
Inflation was about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now.
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shaped recovery until January 22, 2021.
Tax decrease - tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large.
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty.
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way.
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war.
US companies were bringing home well paying jobs due to well executed tax treatments.
There was peace in the Middle East, aka Abraham Accords; the US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated. Remember Trump's audacious assassination of Iran's Qassem Soleimani?

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-assassination-iran-s-qassem-soleimani-was-smart-thing-ncna1111586

How about Trump destroying Isis in just a matter on months?
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/heres-how-much-ground-isis-has-lost-since-trump-took-over

Trump handled Syria and Russia elegantly and successfully.
https://apnews.com/article/fee4d978f1ca42aaa891a59c5307a261

Trump got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Trump had an excellent Economic Team and the US enjoyed a AAA+ rating that Biden's Team destroyed in 2+ years:

https://time.com/4440711/donald-trump-economic-advisors/

They were brilliant! And do not forget Wilbur Ross.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabinet_of_Donald_Trump

Funny how Russia was quiet during the Trump Administration. There was no Russian invasion of Ukraine until Biden took over. Why was that?

I hope you remember this:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-nuclear-summit-obama-medvedev-idUSBRE82P0JI20120326

This was a very memorable and strategic event early into Trump's Administration:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/12/trump-xi-jinping-chocolate-cake-syria-strikes

The above is why Putin behaved himself during the Trump Administration. Putin invaded the Ukraine under Biden just like he did under Obama when he claimed Crimea.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by the Obama/Biden Weaponized Agencies?

Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020 over 2016. Never has a sitting President lost when receiving more votes in his reelection bid. Trump increased his vote total by 17+%. Trump can claim victory in 17 of the 18 bellwether counties but still “lost” according to the Dems/MSM?

Do you really believe that Bumbling Biden received 15 million more votes than Hillary? That is an amazing and unbelievable 23% increase in votes for Bumbling Biden than Hillary. The election was blatantly in your face stolen.

Now the world is as close to WW3 as it has ever been and weak kneed spineless voters are still concerned with Trump's style versus his accomplishments.

Face it, Trump did one hell of a job! Compare Trump's job to that of Biden's. Attack Biden instead! People are suffering under Biden and all I witness are attacks on Trump.

Kudos on your excellent review of the major successes of the Trump presidency, and the unrelenting, yet largely unsuccessful attempts by the deep state at derailing him. Nice.

👍

Not working for the other side. Just want evidence and a detailed explanation from Trump about what happened.

You don't need to see an explanation from Trump. An explanation from anyone will do so long as it is correct, and I sent you the link to "Here is the evidence.com."

https://hereistheevidence.com

There is way more than enough evidence to convince any rational man that the 2020 election was rigged in the swing states.

My bad. I forgot the rule for hearsay evidence. What Mark Meadows said about Trump’s words, needs cross-examination. If it was ‘he said’, Meadows needs to substantiate it. I have no idea how he could unless it was in an email with his reply to it.
