[Dana7360]

These notes show that trump knew and still knows that the fraud claim is a lie.

These notes also show just how much contempt and disrespect trump has for the rule of law and our voting system.

He wanted the DOJ to just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to him.

This is just beyond disgusting.

This just in

Hillary manipulated our intelligence services to imply the Russians control our elections

Do you people hear yourselves? Do you not remember 2000? 2016/ 2018? With Stacey Abrams still saying she's rightful governor of Georgia.

You try to draw these tiny meaningless lines. Stop

WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump pressed top Justice Department officials late last year to declare that the election was corrupt even though they had found no instances of widespread fraud, so that he and his allies in Congress could use the assertion to try to overturn the results, according to new documents provided to lawmakers and obtained by The New York Times.

The demands were an extraordinary instance of a president interfering with an agency that is typically more independent from the White House to advance his personal agenda. They are also the latest example of Mr. Trump’s wide-ranging campaign during his final weeks in office to delegitimize the election results.

The exchange unfolded during a phone call on Dec. 27 in which Mr. Trump pressed the acting attorney general at the time, Jeffrey A. Rosen, and his deputy, Richard P. Donoghue, on voter fraud claims that the department had disproved. Mr. Donoghue warned that the department had no power to change the outcome of the election. Mr. Trump replied that he did not expect that, according to notes Mr. Donoghue took memorializing the conversation.

He was right, but the DoJ are full of cowards.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Everyone in the world knows this election was stolen. Our allies and enemies alike are dumbfounded....but delighted.

So everybody is wrong except Trump. What do you think of Trump's claims that Italy changed ballots?

 

[JLW]

Just more news of Trump's pathetic attempts to steal the election. The man should be in prison.

Everyone in the world knows it was a free and fair election, our allies were horrified at the fascists ransacking the citadel of our democracy, but China and Russia laughed with joy.

Didn't something also happen in Germany? Special agents and Dominion servers?

These fevered conspiracies are beyond ridiculous, yet millions believe them.

Evidence all the time out of arizone, now pennsylvania that President Trump was cheated out of his second term. The world knows this. Some of you are either very naive or consummate deceivers willing to win at whatever cost.

 

[Mac1958]

Trump is a shameless crook.

Yeah, among other things.

And yet his followers, sycophants and enablers just don't care, and they'll attack when it's pointed out. Such is the nature of a cult.

President Trump asked the DoJ to do the right thing. To uphold the law. To uphold election law. We see that the deep state (the left) has infiltrated everything. You are basking in your 'win' now. AT some point in the future. You won't be. That's the lesson of history.

 

[Calypso Jones]

There is no cult like the leftist cult. It is a cult of death. Much like their allies the muslims.

1. Cults are defined by their methods..Not their beliefs. Attacking freedom of speech, police, safety, attacking their opposition, encouraging violence, pushing mandates.

2. Cult leaders do not allow criticism from anyone. Pretty obvious that's going on now

3. Cults mean to control their followers lives and keep them DEPENDENT on the cult.
Blacks? hispanics? illegals? minorities?

4. Cults are interested in Amassing power and believers. And incidentally $$$ and power for the leader(s). Evident in the current tier of power now.
