As we uncover more and MORE secrets ?
We see how far Donald Trump pushed to undo the voters choices around the country and cheat , to win a Presidency American’s wanted him out of…..
This situation reminds one of the Richard Nixon ‘Saturday Night Massacre ‘.….
And this guy probably will run again?
How can THAT be?
The Justice Department’s top leaders listened in stunned silence this month: One of their peers, they were told, had devised a plan with President Donald J. Trump to oust Jeffrey A. Rosen as acting attorney general and wield the department’s power to force Georgia state lawmakers to overturn its presidential election results.
The unassuming lawyer who worked on the plan, Jeffrey Clark, had been devising ways to cast doubt on the election results and to bolster Mr. Trump’s continuing legal battles and the pressure on Georgia politicians. Because Mr. Rosen had refused the president’s entreaties to carry out those plans, Mr. Trump was about to decide whether to fire Mr. Rosen and replace him with Mr. Clark.
The department officials, convened on a conference call, then asked each other: What will you do if Mr. Rosen is dismissed?
The answer was unanimous. They would resign.
Their informal pact ultimately helped persuade Mr. Trump to keep Mr. Rosen in place, calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of the Justice Department would eclipse any attention on his baseless accusations of voter fraud. Mr. Trump’s decision came only after Mr. Rosen and Mr. Clark made their competing cases to him in a bizarre White House meeting that two officials compared with an episode of Mr. Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” albeit one that could prompt a constitutional crisis….
…
The Clark plan, the officials concluded, would seriously harm the department, the government and the rule of law. For hours, they anxiously messaged and called one another as they awaited Mr. Rosen’s fate.
Around 6 p.m., Mr. Rosen, Mr. Donoghue and Mr. Clark met at the White House with Mr. Trump, Mr. Cipollone, his deputy Patrick Philbin and other lawyers. Mr. Trump had Mr. Rosen and Mr. Clark present their arguments to him.
Mr. Cipollone advised the president not to fire Mr. Rosen and he reiterated, as he had for days, that he did not recommend sending the letter to Georgia lawmakers. Mr. Engel advised Mr. Trump that he and the department’s remaining top officials would resign if he fired Mr. Rosen, leaving Mr. Clark alone at the department.
Mr. Trump seemed somewhat swayed by the idea that firing Mr. Rosen would trigger not only chaos at the Justice Department, but also congressional investigations and possibly recriminations from other Republicans and distract attention from his efforts to overturn the election results.
After nearly three hours, Mr. Trump ultimately decided that Mr. Clark’s plan would fail, and he allowed Mr. Rosen to stay.
Mr. Rosen and his deputies concluded they had weathered the turmoil. Once Congress certified Mr. Biden’s victory, there would be little for them to do until they left along with Mr. Trump in two weeks.
They began to exhale days later as the Electoral College certification at the Capitol got underway. And then they received word: The building had been breached….
Brad Raffemsperger, the Republican Secretary of State who refused to “find” “missing” Georgia votes for Donald Trump compares Stacey Abrams’ claims of a stolen 2018 election for Governor to Trump’s claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election.
¶ Quite a few of my fellow Republicans raised an eyebrow recently when former President Donald Trump seemingly endorsed Stacey Abrams for governor of Georgia. But it didn’t come as much of a surprise to me. In fact, Abrams and Trump have quite a bit in common.
Abrams used false stolen election claims to create a national profile. Trump did the same to maintain his national profile. Now, Abrams is demonstrating how to run a campaign based on the same baseless allegations. It makes perfect sense that she would have Trump’s support.
In the months since November’s election, Trump and his allies have followed almost the exact same post-election playbook that Abrams and her allies originated in 2018. Both Abrams and Trump used over-the-top rhetoric to generate headlines and attention; both filed lawsuits that weren’t supported by evidence; and both raised hundreds of millions of dollars off of stolen election claims to keep their political operations going.
Following her loss by over 50,000 votes in Georgia’s 2018 gubernatorial election (a larger margin than the one that gave President Joe Biden his electoral college majority nationwide), Abrams famously said, “Concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. … I cannot concede.” Following Abrams’ playbook, Trump said after the 2020 election, “We will never concede. … You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”…

¶ … Considering the damage President Trump’s stolen-election claims have done to the public perception of our elections, Abrams has a lot to answer for, whether or not she chooses to run for office. American democracy relies on an adversarial press to hold leaders accountable. Given MSNBC’s lurch to defend Abrams and their use of disinformation to support it, there is little reason to believe they will do their jobs if and when Abrams starts her disinformation campaign again.

Follow-UP on Trump Bull shit about dead Georgia Voters votes…
Just Four Dead Voters Found In Georgia
“False claims that there were thousands of ballots cast in the names of dead Georgia voters can now rest in peace. Election investigators found just four absentee ballots in the 2020 presidential election from voters who had died, all of them returned by relatives,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“The tiny number of ballots actually cast on behalf of deceased voters contrasts with Republican Donald Trump’s false accusation that there were 5,000 dead voters in Georgia’s election.”
