President Trump urged fellow Republican Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in an extraordinary one-hour phone call Saturday that election experts said raised legal questions. The Washington Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims, at one point warning that Raffensperger was taking “a big risk.” Throughout the call, Raffensperger and his office’s general counsel rejected Trump’s assertions, explaining that the president is relying on debunked conspiracy theories and that President-elect Joe Biden’s 11,779-vote victory in Georgia was fair and accurate.
Trump dismissed their arguments. “The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry,” he said. “And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.” Raffensperger responded: “Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is, the data you have is wrong.”
At another point, Trump said: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.” The rambling and at times incoherent conversation offered a remarkable glimpse of how consumed and desperate the president remains about his loss, unwilling or unable to let the matter go and still believing he can reverse the results in enough battleground states to remain in office. “There’s no way I lost Georgia,” Trump said, a phrase he repeated again and again on the call. “There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”

The key point... is that the media is now covering the election fraud story... right before the evidence is presented.
Trump playing them like a fiddle.
You first.
How do your friends feel about election fraud... and Biden’s issues with corruption ?
There is nothing to gain. It’s in vogue to think Trump can’t make mistakes, like ALWAYS believing THIS TIME his conversation won’t get leaked.
Trump is a GREAT president but many here are like the villagers with pitchforks in the way they treat Reagan now.
They jump from hero to hero on a blink and then that hero can do no wrong.
The very thing we call out the dems for.
I do love Trump. He’s a fellow NYC boy.
But he does learn some lessons the very hard way and turning on Reagan sickens me.
Interesting they didn’t release the recording, since they allege they have it.
They don’t believe there was any election fraud on the scale that is being proposed by Giuliani and the rest of them. Think Biden won fair and square.
I have a rather large group of friends, of all political persuasions, and all of them believe Giuliani, Powell, and Lin are not believable. This circle also includes many vets and retired military personnel.
Of course the President knew he was being recorded. Of course he knew it would be leaked. And of course he knew it would be reported. Of Course the President recorded the conversation also.
Because of appearances, Trump needed them to open the door first, which they have just done. Now he can release the full recording or other excerpts from the recording which will show the Sec. of State dodging questions or otherwise in an unfavorable light.
Trump is an a-hole, even to his friends. A lot of people just don't like him. Mrs. Tanker and her mother don't like Trump, but they voted for him.
Think Biden won fair and square.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Would you agree that your friends are morons?
What a smary little bastard. He should resign. Now.
If you haven't seen this, it's the presentation to the State Senate about the data analysis. 151 precincts in Fulton County recorded over 90% Biden votes. Any precinct over 75% is suspicious, according to historical norms.
WaPo barf alert!
I bet they also believed and still believe the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. It’s because that is what MSM and social
Media peddles.
Given all the info of the many beautiful things Trump has done in his life to help others and you folks still feel this way says much more about you than him.
Glad to hear mom and the missus sobered up long enough to get to the ballot box though.
My father did the same. He’s 81 years old and this is the first time he ever voted for a Democrat presidential candidate (my mom would have certainly done the same but she passed away last year.) He and my mom both voted for Trump in 2016.
Bingo!

Let the record reflect that Donald Trump did everything in his power to be merciful. He issued
multiple warnings to current + former gov’t officials, the media & corrupt third party actors.
He gave them EVERY opportunity to come clean & do the right thing. They chose poorly.

The information we reviewed should serve as an important resource for state legislators as they
make calls for state legislatures to meet to investigate the election and consider decertifying
their state election results.
It’s available for the public:
https://got-freedom.org/evidence/
The 2020 election witnessed an unprecedented and coordinated effort through public-private
partnerships to improperly and unlawfully influence the election for Mr. Biden by:
1) creating a two-tiered election system in which state and local officials targeted Biden
constituencies to turn out the vote while targeting Trump constituencies to depress the vote;
2) using private funds to pay election judges and officials who managed the way ballots were
received, accepted, cured, and counted;
3) having private interests dictate or encourage local election officials to violate state laws
protecting the integrity of the ballot;
4) consolidating counting centers to justify the delivery of hundreds of thousands of ballots
to one location, removing Republicans from their lawful right to view the receipt, handling,
and counting of ballots in the consolidated counting centers;
5) initiating scores of lawsuits as early as March of 2020 to undermine ballot integrity measures;
6) accepting and receiving more than $400 million from private interests to dictate terms in
which the election would be managed in Democrat strongholds;
7) allowing private interests to gain special access and use of sensitive citizen information
maintained by government;
8) benefiting from Big Tech monies and censorship of information;
9) training left-leaning poll workers in Democrat strongholds on how to commit fraud;
10) fighting transparency by resisting legitimate requests to audit and review ballots, ballot
envelopes, and computer logs;
11) threatening legislators with criminal investigation and prosecution if they disagreed with
blue state executive officials on the election result;
12) locking Republican legislators out of the state capitol to prevent them from meeting and
challenging election certification; and
13) engaging in illegal ballot harvesting.
This conduct resulted in an election in which the American people cannot have faith, which
violates state law and which should not be certified.
Below are several thousand pages of evidence and hours of video explaining this evidence for your review.

I spoke to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger yesterday about Fulton County and voter fraud in Georgia. He was unwilling, or unable, to answer questions such as the “ballots under table” scam, ballot destruction, out of state “voters”, dead voters, and more. He has no clue!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2021
“Georgia election data, just revealed, shows that over 17,000 votes illegally flipped from Trump to Biden.” @OANN This alone (there are many other irregularities) is enough to easily “swing Georgia to Trump”. #StopTheSteal @HawleyMO @SenTedCruz @Jim_Jordan— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 3, 2021
I don’t believe he lost suburban women voters, just liberal spin to say he lost overall. No one in their right mind would vote for Bumbling Basement China Joe after four years of great achievements by Trump, especially those that voted for him the first time. He gained votes, didn’t lose votes.
