Nothing Earth-shattering here, but a "current event" to file away for now.
1. We know that Trump advisor Tom Fitton (President of "Judicial Watch") pushed Trump to claim he won even if he lost. Transcript below. FYI, it turns out that Fitton has now testified before a grand jury.
2. We know that Trump's campaign staff planned to "fan the flame" of a supposedly "rigged election", saying “Here’s the deal: Comms is going to continue to fan the flame and get the word out about Democrats trying to steal this election. We’ll do whatever they need. Just be on standby if there’s any stunts we need to pull." Audio below.
3. We know that Steve Bannon told staffers that Trump was going to claim he won the 2020 election if he lost. Audio below.
Looks like the above facts have the attention of the DOJ.
No accusations or assumptions. Just some interesting tidbits. No big deal.
