Washington Post audio of Trump berating and threatening Georgia Secretary of State for not "finding" votes to change election result. Sedition?

[rightwinger]

The call was inappropriate.

The Georgia Sec State should never have agreed to talk to one candidate in the election without including the other candidate.

Trump: Find enough votes until I am elected

 

[Faun]

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?

Actually I'm thinking that is abuse of power and attempted election fraud.

This tape should be plenty to lock the bastard up for sedition.

Biden's Department of Justice will handle this.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

To dimwit Trumpers I say, here we have Trump telling the Georgia Secretary of state to engage in fraud and overthrow the newly elected government. When will Trump be arrested?

Trump was asking him to expose fraud. Obviously because the election was stolen and everyone knows that.

Trump was asking him to expose fraud. Obviously because the election was stolen and everyone knows that.

Then they said the president and his data was wrong. There was no fraud.

AND JUST LIKE THAT TRUMP GOT DEMOCRATS TO DEFEND REPUBLICANS!!!

It's hard to describe just how ******* pathetic you are.

why is that??? dems are defending repubes and its all because of trump,,

this has happened on many subjects over the last 4 yrs,,

The question is not why Democrats are defending faithful conduct of elections, the question is WHY AREN'T YOU?

Why aren't you against a sitting president is calling a Secretary of State and telling him, after three recounts, to go find him 11780 votes...or else. If that president was Obama you rightwingers would be out on the street with rope and pitchforks.

And the answer why you are against it is in the ample description of your character that I provided earlier.

Yanno...................Georgia only has 16 electoral votes. Granted, whoever wins the state gets all of them, but here's my question...............

Trump lost to Biden 306 to 232 in the electoral college. Now, 306 minus 16 is 290. 232 plus 16 is 248. Even if GA decided to flip, Trump would still lose 290 to 248. Why is it that Trump and his followers have decided to die on this particular hill? Even if GA did flip over to Trump, he'd still lose the election.

This is a huge waste of time for Trump and his supporters. Why can't they just accept the fact that Trump lost, and there is nothing that will change that?

Trump has bigger, long term plans, mentioned in the tape he needs Georgia to change their vote, so the other states will then follow.... or something of the sort.

If anybody wants to know what Trump really said instead of the typical Wapo TDS inflicted cherry picking here is a transcript of the conversation.

The Democrats stole the election and the officials are so afraid of the goddamn Negros in that Atlanta ghetto that they won't do a full audit of Fulton County and Trump is pissed as he should be. All Americans should be pissed. The Democrats have stolen our country.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...68e0cc-4ddd-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html


The bottom line is, when you add it all up and then you start adding, you know, 300,000 fake ballots. Then the other thing they said is in Fulton County and other areas. And this may or may not be true . . . this just came up this morning, that they are burning their ballots, that they are shredding, shredding ballots and removing equipment. They’re changing the equipment on the Dominion machines and, you know, that’s not legal.

Fulton County is VERY wealthy.. and wealthy Georgians have Trump's number.

What on earth made you think Fulton was a "ghetto"?

There is nothing illegal here.... dumb? yes. Heresay? yes
WIth all of this - obviously what is being ignored is we have two state officials who recorded a conversation with the President so they could give or sell it to the media.
It wasn't leaked. It was provided.
Is that illegal?

Have you looked at Georgia and Federal laws related to it?

If a democratic president had done what he did, would you be defending the Democratic president that lost his second term, for the same actions as Trump has done?

Yep. I would. You will never find one post from me discussing impeaching Obama. I thought the WJC impeachment was stupid too. Trump is done in less than three weeks. Who will you blame for all your ills then? Scapegoat will be long gone. Issues will still be here.

Trump is a criminal. Do we accept that?

In America you're innocent until you're proven guilty. Do we still accept that?

not, if you are some election worker seen on a video. then anything goes.

“I think you’re going to find that they are shredding ballots because they have to get rid of the ballots because the ballots are unsigned. The ballots are corrupt, and they’re brand new, and they don’t have seals, and there’s a whole thing with the ballots. But the ballots are corrupt.

And you are going to find that they are — which is totally illegal — it is more illegal for you than it is for them because, you know, what they did and you’re not reporting it. That’s a criminal, that’s a criminal offense. And you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan, your lawyer. And that’s a big risk.”

That's Trump threatening legal action against Rafensburger if he doesn't concede to Trump's insane attempt to overturn an election that has already been certified

No one was shredding this year's ballots.

Ballots are kept as records for X many years...might be 4 years, before they are discarded.... They were shredding on schedule, a previous election's ballots.

Wow

Really? You think that there are enough states that will flip in the next 2 weeks, even if GA flipped tomorrow? I know that you are just bringing up a situation that Trumpsters would hope for, but please, don't give them more ammo to disagree with the election results. If Trump was REALLY serious about trying to flip the election, he would have gone after more states than just GA. Going after only 1 shows that he's not really serious. Apparently, he thinks he can flip one, but in order to win the election, he'd have to flip several, and that is never gonna happen. Not going after you Care, just saying what I think about the idiots who support Trump and his attempt to flip just one state (that is going to fail). Why is it that Trump can only focus on one state, when if he was serious, he should be focusing on several? I guess that Trump thought he could intimidate GA, but knows that the other states would tell him to **** off.

The Sec State is supposed to conduct impartial elections.

Having a secret phone call with one candidate without including the other candidate amounts to a back room deal.
Trump maneuvering to secure additional votes amounts to election fixing and abuse of power

What part of 'election fraud' don't you get??? If it is found to have happened in ANY state, regardless of number of electors.....it means the whole election is questionable, at best.

It's kinda like that little drip in the Hoover Dam, thing

That's the point.. Trump is lying. He makes it up as he goes a long.. He has no evidence.

If Trump actually won those other states you claim, then why is he focusing on just GA? There hasn't been much of a peep out of Trump and his cronies for those other states you mentioned.

Only in court. If you did it, you are guilty whether it can be proved or not.

Trump wants to hurt Loeffler and Perdue.. They are probably going to lose their Senate seats.
