Federal judge dismisses Trump election lawsuit in Pennsylvania
NBC News ^ | 11\21\20 | Pete Williams

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Saturday dismissed a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump's campaign in Pennsylvania, saying it contained "strained legal argument without merit."

U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Brann turned down the request for an injunction, dealing another blow to Trump's hopes of invalidating the election's results.

In his 37-page ruling, Brann said the Trump campaign asked him to “disenfranchise almost seven million voters” and said he could not find any case in which a plaintiff “has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election.”

With such a request, the judge said, one might expect compelling legal argument “and factual proof of rampant corruption.” Instead, Brann added, “this court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations.”

Once they had their scheme and put their plan in motion, it was then that they had to be stopped, before a single ballot was cast

By the time the Transition Integrity Project had completed their wargaming and had their website up in June, the deed was done.

From June through October, they announced over and over and over again what the plan was, how it would be executed, what the timetable was (down to the point of Biden declaring on the Friday after the election), this was a done deal as you point out.

The propaganda that grew out of the Transition Integrity Project was well-designed to play on people's naive beliefs about their country - the Red Mirage "fact sheet" was published simultaneously in late October in NYT-WaPo- CNNABCNBCCBS and the overseas shitlib press to make it seem plausible that the ballot dumps were valid (because they were expected).

This was all really well done, and if you believe they could do this all and NOT have the outcome of any legal processes controlled, you really don't understand the nature of the forces that pulled this off in the first place.

Under the guise of legal proceedings (the outcome of which is predetermined), this is a violent act. And it will not be overcome peacefully, if it is to be overcome at all.

If you don’t believe me, 15 out of 19 justices on SCOTUS have been appointed by the GOP, and the direction hasn’t shifted an inch since the Warren Court.

Point of the year.

If SCOTUS believes in real justice, any serious expose of fraud and criminality should never be acceptable, time line should not be the primary criteria.

**And this judge is a Republican too.**

....a meme being spread by the left. It’s False. Read the White House’s response.

The judge was appointed by Obama.

‘From what I’ve seen Powell talks a lot of crap but does nothing”

That is fake news. She is one of the best and us battling the PR side of this while gathering evidence. This evidence will be filed in court either Monday or Tuesday.

From what I’ve seen Powell talks a lot of crap but does nothing. It’s time to put up or shut up. If she or Rudy have all this evidence they need to stop talking about it to the media and show it to a judge.


Just curious, from which law school did you obtain YOUR law degree?

How many cases have YOU filed/presented to a Federal, or ANY Judge?

You seem to think you know much more about this case, than LONG time, successful attorney, Sidney Powell does.

this is a great thing, as it puts them closer to the Supreme Court. Fear not this ruling. Instead praise the Lord that this judge dismissed it and did it quickly. 8>)

Yep.

Always the usual suspects, too.....who, for some reason, always seem/appear to be cheering for the OTHER side. At least sounding like them, anyway.

Yes, lots of arm-chair Lawyers here LOL.

First they want Sidney to disclose all the evidence she has immediately for all to see, so they will “feel” better.

Second, they want the evidence to be disclosed in lower courts immediately. Which then gives the democrats more time to prepare counter-points in SCOTUS where the final ruling will be made.

They fail to comprehend that Winning in lower court is not useful if Sidney loses in SCOTUS.

So everyone needs to calm down, and let the good lawyers on Trump team play the plot according to their strategic plan. It does not guarantee a win, but IMHO has better chance than any opinions by arm-chair lawyers here.

“They have already to a large extent taken away the soapbox and the ballot box.”

And if Biden gets in it’ll be the ammo box next. Game over.

Brann's confirmation vote just after the Halfrican got re-Dominioned in 2012:

Just another greasy Republican politician, like his Mitt-licking sponsor, Toomey...

"got re-Dominioned"


:-)


It finally makes sense now how that sleazy, slimy, stupid, anti-American, commie slug, BO, "won" that office twice.   The dumpofcraps first learned how to cheat locally in the big cities, then expanded those efforts to a number of states, and finally found a way to apply that cheating thievery to national elections.   (They should all be hung by the neck from a rope.)

“disenfranchise almost seven million voters” and said he could not find any case in which a plaintiff “has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election.”

Does the judge actually think the campaign should submit complaints from 7 million people? The problem, judge, is that evidence shows that 7 million votes are fraud, but exactly whose vote was corrupted is impossible to know.
