Justice Department subpoenas Georgia, New Mexico state officials in Jan. 6 probe

Dec. 13 (UPI) -- The Justice Department's special counsel Jack Smith has issued subpoenas for the secretaries of state in Georgia and New Mexico along with local election officials in three other states in connection with former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver and Georgia's secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger were sent subpoenas. Trump asked Raffensperger in a phone call after the election to "find" him exactly the number of votes he needed to win the state in a recorded call phone.

The subpoena did not ask Raffensperger to appear in person but to provide documents connected with Trump's post-election efforts with his office.

In a subpoena to officials in Nevada's Clark County, prosecutors are calling for records involving 19 Trump supporters, including attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and John Eastman.

Smith, who was appointed to lead the investigation by Attorney General Merrick Garland last month, issued other subpoenas for top elections officials in Wayne County in Michigan; Milwaukee and Dane counties in Wisconsin; Maricopa County in Arizona; and Allegheny County in Pennsylvania.

Can’t we all move on? /s

Obviously Trump doesn’t know how to move on from 2020. He’s happy to drag the nation through a nightmare until it’s exhausted and been distracted from more immediate issues with this administration, the economy, geopolitical unrest.

Legally challenging the results of an election is now considered a crime.

Obviously Trump doesn’t know how to move on from 2020.

**************

Yep, Trump isn’t accustomed to losing thus he doesn’t know how
to deal with the aftermath. He needs to back away and give his
support to one of the upcoming younger candidates. JMO

Harris versus who on Tuesday, November 5, 2024?

Of course, they are.

How can they indict Trump without finding some evidence?

It’s not like none of us doesn’t understand the end game...

Re: "Trump asked Raffensperger in a phone call after the election to 'find' him exactly the number of votes he needed to win the state in a recorded call phone."

Still telling that pathetic lie two years after the fact?

Trump asked Raffensperger to enforce Georgia law.

If a Georgia resident moves to a new voting district, Georgia law requires that person to file for a new registration. Failure to file a new registration nullifies your vote until you do file.

Trump reasonably asked Riff-Raff to check addresses until he found 12,000 nullified votes (the amount Trump lost by), which would then trigger a new Georgia election.

Riff-Raff refused Trump, and Riff-Raff has said NOTHING after dozens of journalists and political activists claim Trump was committing fraud.

One of the first things the new congress should do is subpoena Jack Smith. God knows the guy has a dark past.

Make sure there's a nice clean place on your back with no blood or knife wounds for our good friends in The Backstab Party, like Paul "Eddie Munster" Ryan or Milt RMoney.

Yes, we’ve got plenty of those here in GA. Gary Black and Geoff Duncan come to mind for their statements that hurt Herschel in the Senatorial runoff. And of course Raffy is very much in that category.
