Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source,” the correction published Thursday began.

“Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now.’”

“The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.”

Trump trusted Jews.

That was his #1 biggest error as President.

I thought you like Trump?

It is sad that we as Americans have disintegrated into YOU MUST AGREE 100% etc....

I disagree with Trump around 40% of the time.

I disagree with anyone who says Trump is a "bad guy" because he isn't a "bad guy." Low IQ Joe is a bad guy, which is why you love him....

A man who assaults and rapes women, takes babies from their parents, and calls people insulting names "isn't a bad guy", he's a monster. His lies about the election alone, are destructive and he knows it.

A man who lies about 911, votes to send our kids to war over lies for $$$$ from those behind 911, starts as a "middle class" guy in the Senate and has now over half a billion family "assets" he can't explain....


EVERYONE who voted for Low IQ Joe consciously voted for a traitor, a kleptocrat, and a fresh new war over 100% lies against Iran solely to serve Israel....

WE WERE WARNED....

Atlanta Jewish Times publisher resigns over Obama 'assassination' column

Andrew Adler suggested Israel should assassinate U.S. President Barack Obama to counter Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

www.haaretz.com

give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice president (Low IQ Joe) to take his place and forcefully dictate that the United States’ policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies.

Perhaps the Jewish state should stop making enemies or use their own military to attack Iran.

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 is engaging of sedition and overturning the will of the people through fraud.

Trump should be arrested for sedition for attempting to overthrow the newly elected government of the United States of America.

Everything Trump touches dies.

Is American democracy next?

Nope. Not when Democrats are stealing elections with vote harvesting.

Trump lost get over it, we have new president now. Just come to grips with the fact that Trump is a one and done.

Is he though? As teh lies you people used to get rid of him are revealed, why should he not come back?

Let him come on back.

I guess the racist are really going to ramp it up.

Democratic Party = Anti-White

The Democrat Party is what 75% white, so that makes about as much sense as you do.

No it's not. Also those are NOT white people. Just a bunch of goddamn idiots.

So the real white folks are Trump Humpers.

Whites can be anti-white racists. It is called self hatred. I have seen it personally.

So to be a real white person you have to be a Republican Trump Humper.

Obviously not, you drooling retard.

So the call was the call, but the Post went out of its way to make it look worse than it was, no doubt to make Trump look worse. I've seen that a few times now, regarding the call. I do think the call -- the actual tape -- was bad, but it's on the press to not just report it, but ACCURATELY report it. That's on them. I'm glad they retracted.

Okay, thanks.

'During their conversation, Trump issued a vague threat to both Raffensperger and Ryan Germany, the secretary of state’s general counsel, suggesting that if they don’t find that thousands of ballots in Fulton County have been illegally destroyed to block investigators — an allegation for which there is no evidence — they would be subject to criminal liability.

“That’s a criminal offense,” he said. “And you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer.”'

Exactly. There wasn't a lie, the correction was that Trump didn't literally say one sentence or something - but the basic content of the conversation was accurate. The Post reported what a person told them and it was identified as such.

The Trumpsters are trying to claim the entire thing was a lie...kind of like they tried to spin away the Ukraine call made by their crooked master.
