NOTE TO FOX NEWS: President Trump and His Team Have More than Enough Solid Evidence to Prove Their Case – Provided Below

By Joe Hoft
Published November 23, 2020 at 7:15am

Tucker-Carlson-Covid-600x392.jpg


When Tucker Carlson is on, no one can say it better. He is clairvoyant and witty and spot on. But at other times – like now – he can be off quite a bit (to say it nicely).

We love Tucker Carlson but many of us are done with FOX News after the far-left bias consumed the network that was once the favorite conservative news channel. Tucker’s rant with Sidney Powell has not helped the permanent exodus from FOX News. What FOX doesn’t realize is that after all of their conservative viewers leave, they will have no one. We refer to this as the Megyn Kelly effect.
When Tucker began attacking Trump’s team rather than the criminals behind the ‘color revolution’ that even he warned us about, he lost hundreds of his devoted fans. Tucker challenged Powell on the President’s legitimate case. He was wrong when he did and he should apologize.

So here’s why we are saying this

Let’s start from the top. What is it that Powell and the Trump team have to prove in order to prove election fraud?

Activists, media, and “the left” in general are demanding that Trump and his team produce evidence “beyond a reasonable doubt” concerning unprecedented fraud in this year’s campaign. This is ridiculous! Although absolutely important in “criminal” cases, complaints such as those filed by the President and his team, only need to show a “preponderance of the evidence”. This is the absolute LOWEST burden of proof, sometimes called the 51-49 standard, or the “balance of probabilities” standard.

The Three Burdens of Proof, are as follows
  • Beyond a reasonable doubt: The highest standard the law imposes. …
  • Clear and convincing evidence: An elevated standard that requires a judge or jury to have substantial assurance that the allegations are correct.
  • Preponderance of the evidence: The lowest standard.
Even though the brilliant attorneys on the mainstream media like FOX News have failed to share this, it does not make it any less true. The Trump team only has to prove a preponderance of evidence to win his cases.

The Overall Picture
According to our records President Trump entertained 1.1 Million supporters at events from Labor Day till the election. Joe Biden entertained less than 2,000!

Trump’s events this year were even bigger than 2016 and he contracted COVID which kept him home for a couple weeks. Trump absolutely crushed Biden in rallies – it was as if Biden knew he didn’t need to campaign.

President Trump had boat parades, car parades, horse parades, truck parades and more – these random events were not sanctioned by the campaign – they just happened:

Trump-Boat-Parade-600x389.jpg


Biden tried a car parade and it failed – there was absolutely no enthusiasm behind Biden:

IMG_4251-600x300.jpg


President Trump had a litany of accomplishments under his belt. He was the first politician in our life time to do what he said he would and then some. He created the greatest economy in the world ever with the highest stock market (up more than 60% since he won the 2016 election), highest national GDP, well over 20 Trillion and some of the lowest unemployment numbers in history. Now President Trump oversees the greatest recovery ever with a GDP increase in Q3 of more than 30% that likely will never be matched.

Biden had higher taxes, longer shutdowns, kids home from school, Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots and Democrat city destruction from blood sucking politicians and policies. Biden also had corruption and a very sick family. No one was behind Biden.

To date they are telling us President Trump set the record for the most votes by a setting President with 73 million. He broke Obama’s record of 69 million from 2008. President Trump set the record for the most vote increase for a sitting President. There is no one who is saying that Trump didn’t beat Obama’s record. Everyone and every indicator provided this was going to happen.


JOE BIDEN did not win 77 million votes. He did not beat Obama’s record and he did not beat President Trump’s historic record. Based on Biden’s events leading up to the election, Biden couldn’t even get more than 30 people at an event hosted with Jon Bon Jovi or President Obama.

The Fraud is Real with a Preponderance of Evidence
Within the first 24 hours after the election we knew it was stolen. President Trump sets the record for the most votes ever and somehow the guy in the basement who is quickly failing in intellectual abilities due to old age, somehow broke the all-time vote record to beat the President’s win.

Within the first few days we saw ample evidence of fraud:


Within a week we uncovered the massive fraud and now today there are literally hundreds of affidavits filed, under penalty of perjury, declaring that:
  • Many dead people voted with the indication of fraud
  • Ballots were destroyed intentionally with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots were separated from their envelopes with the intention of fraud
  • Vote counts were manipulated with the intention of fraud
  • Absentee ballots were received back at the counting center BEFORE they were even sent out with the intention of fraud
  • Many people over 100 years old cast ballots with the intention of fraud
  • Observers were blocked, some by cardboard sheets, pizza boxes, or social distance, with the intention of fraud
  • Many people voted more than once, in multiple states, where they were ineligible to vote with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots were “cured” even before the date they were supposed to be opened with the intention of fraud
  • Batches of ballots were scanned multiple times into the tabulators with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots were LOST in predominantly Trump precincts and found after audits with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots for Trump were found in garbage cans, ditches, or were shredded before, on and after election day with the intention of fraud
  • Hundreds of thousands of suspicious ballots, many of them 96% up to 100% for Biden were DUMPED into the count in the wee hours of the morning AFTER election day in SWING STATES and the counting had been “stopped” with the intention of fraud
And this is BEFORE we even get to the evidence of the means, motive, and opportunity for Dominion Voting Systems and their owners, administrators, and advocates to tamper with the vote counts!

We identified glitches noticeable to Americans watching the election results on TV. What started as a glitch we soon identified as a pattern because they all somehow went against President Trump:


This led us to an analysis of election night data found on a website of sharp Trump supporters. This article was retweeted by the President:


We’ve identified numerous anomalies related to the data as well. We saw patterns in the data that make no sense. They make no sense because they’re not random. We saw mail-in ballot counts in Pennsylvania on President Trump somehow in nearly every county 40% less than President Trump’s election day winning percents.


We then identified MIT PhD Dr. Shiva’s analysis where he identified patterns in precincts in four counties in Michigan that showed an apparent shift of 130,000 votes from Trump to Biden using a statistical analysis due to these patterns that make no logical sense. We performed the same test in Milwaukee and found the same result:


We then identified a pattern from election results in Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin where President Trump was way ahead, then big dumps of data were reported for Biden, then Biden took the lead with approximately 90% of all ballots in and then nearly every single ballot batch reported after that period in these states showed the the same proportion of Biden to Trump votes (with Biden winning) until the election was called.


We’ve reported how it happened and much, much more.

It is our belief that FRAUD OCCURRED in the 2020 Election and the President and his team have MET THE BURDEN OF PROOF and his relief should be granted.

We believe if viewed accurately, the judges will easily see the fraud too. We have no idea whether FOX News will look at it accurately or what they will find if they do.

House Democrat Seeks Disbarment of Giuliani and 22 Trump Election Lawyers

By Kristinn Taylor
Published November 23, 2020 at 9:45am

New Jersey Democrat Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. filed bar complaints against lead Trump campaign elections attorney Rudy Giuliani and twenty-two other Trump campaign lawyers in several states where President Trump is contesting the results of the November 3 presidential election. Pascrell is calling for the disbarment of the attorneys for filing cases on behalf of Trump to “overturn the election and demolish democracy” in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New York and Pennsylvania. The other attorneys targeted in addition to Giuliani are local attorneys in the respective states. Giuliani is a former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and former two-term mayor of New York City.

Press release by Pascrell:
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) today filed letters with the legal bar authorities in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New York, and Pennsylvania, seeking the disbarment of Rudolph Giuliani and 22 other lawyers representing Donald Trump in his attempts to overturn the election and demolish democracy. This was first announced by @PascrellForNJ on Twitter.

“We live together in extraordinary and increasingly dangerous national circumstances. At present, our sitting President has refused to accept the outcome of our national election and is attacking the integrity of our electoral system to keep himself in power. The pattern of behavior by these individuals to effectuate Mr. Trump’s sinister arson is a danger not just to our legal system but is also unprecedented in our national life. In carrying out that perversion, they have clearly violated the [] Rules of Professional Conduct they swore to uphold and should face the severest sanction your body can mete out: revocation of their law licensures,” Pascrell writes the legal disciplinary authorities in five states.

Copies of Congressman Pascrell’s letters to the bar disciplinary authorities of Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New York, and Pennsylvania, are available in the attached hyperlinks.

The text of Pascrell’s letter to the Disciplinary Board of Pennsylvania is provided below.

November 20, 2020
The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
District I 1601 Market Street, Suite 3320 Philadelphia, PA 19103
District II 820 Adams Avenue, Suite 170 Trooper, PA 19403
District III 601 Commonwealth Avenue Suite 5800, P.O. Box 62675 Harrisburg, PA 17106-2675
District IV 437 Grant Street, Suite 1300 Pittsburgh, PA 15219

To Whom It May Concern:

I write you today to file a complaint against Marc A. Scaringi (Pennsylvania Bar No. 88346) and Brian C. Caffrey (Bar No. 42667) of the law firm Scaringi Law (2000 Linglestown Road, Suite 106, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110); Ronald L. Hicks, Jr. (Bar No. 49520) and Carolyn B. McGee (Bar No. 207715) of the law firm Porter Wright (6 PPG Place, 3d Floor, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222); Linda A. Kerns (Pennsylvania Bar No. 84495) of the law offices of Linda A. Kerns, LLC (1420 Locust Street, Suite 200, Philadelphia Pennsylvania); Joseph Pizzo (Bar No. 63268) and Kenneth Ferris (Bar No. 92335) of the law firm Joseph Pizzo and Associates, LLC (7 Neshaminy Interplex Suite 200 Trevose, Pennsylvania 19053); and Joseph Goldstein (Bar No. 201627) and Britain Henry (Bar No. 314279) of the law firm Goldstein Law Partners, LLC (11 Church Road, Hatfield Pennsylvania 19440). In their capacity as attorneys representing the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, these individuals have filed frivolous lawsuits and used your state’s courts to assault public confidence in our nation’s electoral system, violating the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct. Therefore, I request your office commence an immediate investigation of their actions and consider sanctions for their conduct up to and including revocation of their licenses to practice law in your jurisdiction.

As of today, President-elect Joe Biden has won the commonwealth of Pennsylvania by 81,487 votes, or approximately 1.18 percent, an outcome there is virtually no chance of reversing by a recount. Despite the difficult circumstances of this pandemic, Pennsylvania’s administration of the election was strong and there is no evidence of systematic malfeasance or fraud.

Nevertheless, these individuals have filed absurd lawsuits seeking to overturn the will of Pennsylvania’s voters and caused irreversible damage to public trust in the fair administration of our elections.

The Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct necessarily govern the actions of your licensed attorneys. Mr. Scaringi, Mr. Caffrey, Mr. Hicks, Ms. McGee, Ms. Kerns, Mr. Pizzo, Mr. Ferris, Mr. Goldstein, and Mr. Henry may have violated Rule of Professional Conduct 3.1 which requires that “[a] lawyer shall not bring or defend a proceeding, or assert or controvert an issue therein, unless there is a basis in law and fact for doing so that is not frivolous, which includes a good faith argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law.”[ii] These individuals may have also violated Rule 8.4(b) which posits that “t is professional misconduct for a lawyer to…engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation.”[iii]

We live together in extraordinary and increasingly dangerous national circumstances. At present, our sitting President has refused to accept the outcome of our national election and is attacking the integrity of our electoral system to keep himself in power. The pattern of behavior by these individuals to effectuate Mr. Trump’s sinister arson is a danger not just to our legal system but is also unprecedented in our national life. In carrying out that perversion, they have clearly violated the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct they swore to uphold and should face the severest sanction your body can mete out: revocation of their law licensures. The holding of a law license is a sacred responsibility. You have an opportunity here to make a powerful statement in support of our democracy and deter future charlatans and miscreants from warping our legal and political systems for their own profit. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Bill Pascrell, Jr.
United States Congressman

Report: New York’s Democrat Attorney General Puts Pressure on Business Leaders to Coerce Trump to Concede; Talk of Withholding Donations to GOP Georgia Senate Races

By Kristinn Taylor
Published November 23, 2020 at 10:53am

Trump-hater New York state Attorney General Letitia James, working in coordination with her fellow Democrat state attorneys general, is putting pressure on business leaders to coerce President Trump into conceding the presidential election and starting the transition to Joe Biden, according to a report by the New York Times published Monday. The report says the Democrat attorneys general hatched a plan to have James organize a conference call with top business leaders in New York that took place on Friday in which the idea was discussed of withholding donations to the two Republican U.S. Senate candidates in the Georgia runoff elections until Trump concedes.

Excerpt:
Concerned that President Trump’s refusal to accept the election results is hurting the country, more than 100 chief executives plan to ask the administration on Monday to immediately acknowledge Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the president-elect and begin the transition to a new administration.

…As a way of gaining leverage over the G.O.P., some of the executives have also discussed withholding campaign donations from the two Republican Senate candidates in Georgia unless party leaders agree to push for a presidential transition, according to four people who participated in a conference call Friday in which the notion was discussed. The two runoff elections in Georgia, which will take place in early January, will determine the balance of power in the United States Senate.

…The Friday evening executive call, which included a group of about a dozen business leaders, was preceded by a meeting of Democratic state attorneys general that took place on Thursday evening, in which participants discussed what they could do to ensure an orderly transition. In the wake of that, New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, was asked to approach business leaders in her jurisdiction about the possibility of pushing the stalled transition into motion.
“She said they asked her to reach out to the New York business community,” Kathryn Wylde, the chief executive of the Partnership for New York City, said of Ms. James. Ms. Wylde took part in a call the next evening with Ms. James and the executives, who were donors to both political parties.
Ms. Wylde said Ms. James told the group that the attorneys general “thought that the New York business community” would “have influence in convincing Republicans around the country that this should be over, that the transition should be acknowledged, and that it was a frightening proposition that this would remain unresolved.”
Ms. James, in a statement Sunday night, said, “This isn’t about partisan politics, but about protecting our democracy.”
“Without the rule of law and an orderly transfer of power, everything from commerce to health care delivery to national security is in peril, and our business leaders can see that as clearly as the rest of us,” she added.
Among the topics that came up on the call, according to participants, was the idea of withholding support from Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, both Republicans, who are running for re-election in Georgia, until the presidential transition is underway.

President Trump is exercising his right to contest an election he believes was rigged against him and is pursuing his claims through legal channels and in the court of public opinion. Joe Biden has not been certified the winner of the election and until such time as he is officially declared the winner or Trump concedes, the Trump administration is under no obligation to proceed with a transition.

Corporate blackmail campaigns like this one coerced by Democrats using the power of the state is America’s future under a Biden-Harris administration.

In Rare Move, Pennsylvania Legislative Committee Rejects House Request For Election Audit

Mon, 11/23/2020 - 15:46
Update 1545ET: In a rare move, a bipartisan, bicameral legislative service agency in Pennsylvania rejected a request from the House of Representatives to conduct a statistical-level review of the 2020 general election, according to the Post-Gazette.
The Legislative Budget & Finance Committee officers voted 2-1 against performing the “risk-limiting” audit that was ordered by House Resolution 1100. That resolution, sponsored by Rep. Jesse Topper, R-Bedford County, passed the House on Thursday by a 112-90 vote, with all Republican members and three Democrats supporting it.

The legislative committee typically accepts the work that the House or Senate sends its way but there have been at least two occasions in recent history when the committee didn’t complete the assignment it was given, said Patricia Berger, the committee’s executive director. -Post-Gazette
"I really would suggest there are other ways to validate our election results," said Allegheny County Democrat Rep. Jake Wheatley. His Democratic colleague Rep. Jake Wheatley added "I’m at a loss as to what the purpose of the resolution is and why it’s even necessary if the work is going to be done” by counties and the state department."

Read the rest of the report here.
* * *
Republicans in Pennsylvania filed an emergency request in state court on Sunday seeking to block the certification of the state's election results in favor of Joe Biden.



The deadline for counties to certify the state is later Monday, after which Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar will be able to certify the entire state, according to Bloomberg.

The filing by the Republicans comes after a federal judge tossed a lawsuit by the Trump campaign seeking to block certification of the results in PA.

Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey, who is retiring from politics in 2022, has called on Trump to accept the results of the election, which have Biden ahead by over 81,000 votes in the state.

"President Trump has exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania," said Toomey in a Saturday statement following the decision by Judge Matthew Brann to dismiss the Trump Campaign's lawsuit.

Republican Chris Christie - who coached Trump for his 'shout at Biden' performance in the first debate, has also called on Trump to concede. "If you have got the evidence of fraud, present it," Christie told ABC on Sunday. "Quite frankly, the conduct of the president's legal team has been a national embarrassment."



The Trump campaign, meanwhile, is forging ahead with appeals as they make their way to the US Supreme Court.

The late-Sunday filing with the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia was an expected development, with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani declaring in a Saturday statement: "We hope that the Third Circuit will be as gracious as Judge Brann in deciding our appeal one way or the other as expeditiously as possible," adding "This is another case that appears to be moving quickly to the United States Supreme Court."

The Death Star Strategy: Is Trump Contemplating The Ultimate Constitutional Trick Shot?

Mon, 11/23/2020 - 12:48
Authored by Jonathan Turley,

Below is my column in The Hill on the possibility of contesting electoral certifications by key states. With the adverse ruling in Pennsylvania, the Trump legal team is still pledging new evidence of massive fraud as certifications are completed. The options for the team seem more and more reduced to the ultimate constitutional trick shot in engineering a fight on the floor of Congress. Here is the column:

The Thursday press conference by President Trump’s legal team left many breathless as Trump counsel Rudy Giuliani alleged a global communist conspiracy to steal the 2020 election. While making passing references to credible election challenges over provisional ballots or “curing” rules, he repeatedly returned to the allegation of a purported massive conspiracy directed by Democrats to change and “inject” votes into state tallies.

It was a strange narrative that seemed to move away from the provable to the unbelievable. The question is, why?

One possibility: to raise sweeping allegations with insufficient time to resolve them in order to force an Electoral College fight. The idea would be to give license to Republican-controlled legislatures to intervene with their own sets of electors or block the submission of any set of electors. Concern over such a strategy was magnified when Trump called key Republican leaders from Michigan’s legislature to the White House on Friday.

Call it the “Death Star strategy.”

In “Star Wars,” a struggling rebellion was in full retreat on every front against an overwhelming force in the Empire. The rebels were left with just one strategy and literally one shot. Luke Skywalker had to skim the surface of the Death Star along a trench and fire a round into a small thermal exhaust port to travel down an air shaft and cause an explosion in the core reactor. Then poof! No more Death Star.

However, if this is the Trump team’s plan, it will make Luke Skywalker’s shot look like a beanbag toss.



The electoral ‘trench’

The “trench,” in this instance, is found in state election systems leading to the electoral equivalent of the “exhaust port” in the Constitution’s Electoral College. It is the Electoral College where the actual election of an American president occurs. Each state certifies votes to the Electoral College — a figure that adds up to the number of members the states have in the two houses of Congress, or 535. (In addition, for Electoral College purposes, the District of Columbia is given three electors, for a total of 538.) Thus, a candidate must have at least 270 electoral votes to become president.

To reach that “exhaust port,” Trump’s legal-team equivalent of X-wing fighters must get all the way down the electoral “trench” by creating challenges to multiple state certifications and deny Joe Biden the 270 threshold or claim those votes for Trump. The Trump team has focused on states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. If the litigation can create serious doubts over the authentication or tabulation of ballots, the Trump campaign could force fights on the floors of these state legislatures. However, after meeting with the president on Friday, the Michigan legislative leaders dealt that potential strategy a serious blow by saying they are unaware of anything that would change their state’s certification for Biden.

The electoral ‘shaft’

Once litigation introduces doubt as to the validity of the vote, the matter travels down the electoral version of the Death Star’s air shaft to individual state legislatures. This is when things move into some uncertain constitutional physics.

Article II of the Constitution states that electors are appointed “in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct.” All but a couple of states have directed that all of their electoral votes will go to the candidate with the greater number of statewide votes. The question is, what happens if legislators decide they cannot say with confidence who won the greater number of votes?

Such controversies have arisen before, as in 2004, when Democrats objected to counting Ohio’s electoral votes due to voting irregularities. The greatest controversy occurred in 1876 after a close, heated election between Republican Rutherford Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden. Like Biden, Tilden won the popular vote and more electoral votes (184, to Hayes’s 165). The problem was that rampant fraud was alleged in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina. (For example, South Carolina reported 101 percent of voters voting). The controversy led to rival sets of electors being sent to Congress. A long fight led to the improbable election of Hayes as president.

For Trump to pull off a similar maneuver, he would need the cooperation of Republican state legislators. He also would face collateral litigation over who should certify electors — a state’s governor or its legislature. In Bush v. Gore in 2000, the Supreme Court ordered an effective halt to further litigation, but that was just one state. It is possible that such multistate litigation could push the challenges beyond the end of the safe-harbor period for certification on Dec. 8 or beyond Dec. 23, when those votes are supposed to be submitted to Congress. Indeed, it could force a fight on Jan. 6, when Congress gathers in joint session to count the votes.

The electoral ‘reactor’

Only then would the action make it into the “core reactor” equivalent of our constitutional system — the joint session of Congress. This would trigger a law passed after the Hayes-Tilden election. Unfortunately, the Electoral Count Act (ECA) of 1887 is hardly a model of clarity and would become the focus of litigation itself. Under some circumstances, Vice President Pence could issue a ruling in favor of Trump, but one senator and one House member could challenge his ruling.

What if there were insufficient votes overall to elect a president? This is where we could see a rare court intervention in a contested election in Congress. The ECA is ambiguous on what it means to have a majority of electors; it does not clearly state whether a majority of “electors appointed” means a majority of the 538 electors (270) or simply a majority of those electors accepted or successfully certified (allowing election with less than 270 electoral votes). There also are untested terms and provisions, ranging from the weight given to the decision of governors and the meaning of what is “lawfully certified” or whether votes were “regularly given.”

There also is the potential under the 12th Amendment for a “contingent election” when there is a tie or insufficient votes. In such a case, Trump could win again. In that case, the vote for president is held in the House based on state delegations, not individual members. Republicans likely will control a majority of state delegations in the House, despite having fewer seats overall — as well as the Senate, where Pence could be reelected.

Again, that is all quite a long shot — a bit more than Luke Skywalker’s boast that he could sink it because he “used to bull’s-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home.” It is enough to make an Ewok weep. All one can say, to paraphrase Han Solo’s parting words before heading out for Death Star, is “Hey, Rudy. May the Force — and the ECA — be with you.”

Here’s an idea ... get off your lazy asses and do something to ensure the Republican voters that their vote is going to actually count this time - and there’s not going to be 100,000, 100% D-votes dumped in the middle of the night.

As I watch the drama being played out in the states and the courts, I see barrier after barrier being placed before attempts to clean up an obviously fraudulent election. I see never Trumpers and even moderate Repubs begining to urge capitulation and I am discouraged.

However, the real dismay comes from the corner where Biden is resurrecting the same corrupt Obama era pay-to-play, globalist, central bank, big corporation, climate change, perpetual war machine cabal we thought we had gotten rid of.

"I really would suggest there are other ways to validate our election results," said Allegheny County Democrat Rep. Jake Wheatley. His Democratic colleague Rep. Jake Wheatley added "I’m at a loss as to what the purpose of the resolution is and why it’s even necessary if the work is going to be done” by counties and the state department."

You've got to be freaking kidding me????? One of the R's voted with the lone D to kill this?
After ALL the Repubs in the State House pushed this forward?????
What the ??????????????????????? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not feeling it anymore.
We seem to lose everywhere every time!
Just too many people are getting paid off and are dirty!
I'm fearful the Supreme Court is going to put the final nail in Trump's coffin.
Dear God, I pray I'm totally wrong though!

Michigan Certifies Its Election Results, Affirms Joe Biden Victory

ANDREW TRUNSKYELECTIONS REPORTER
November 23, 20204:52 PM ET

Michigan’s State Board of Canvassers voted Monday afternoon to certify the state’s election results.

The final vote was 3, with Republican Vice Chair Aaron Van Langevelde joining the board’s two Democrats. Republican Norman Shinkle was opposed to certifying Michigan’s results, but ultimately abstained.
BREAKING: Michigan’s election results have been certified via a 3-0 vote by the Board of State Canvassers. Republican board member Norm Shinkle abstained.
— Detroit Free Press (@freep) November 23, 2020
Though there was initial uncertainty over whether the board would vote to confirm the state’s election results, Van Langevelde said early in the board’s meeting that they had a “duty” to certify the results today, though he asked to hear the hundreds of public comments before voting to do so.

“I think we are pretty limited today. I think we have a duty to do this,” he said.
Monday is Michigan’s legal deadline to certify its results, which show President-elect Joe Biden beating President Donald Trump by over 154,000 votes.

The state has been the center of multiple controversies in the weeks after the Nov. 3 election.
It appears that Michigan is headed for certification. A GOP board member, Aaron Van Langevelde, indicates he believes the board is essentially ministerial and has no role investigating fraud.
“We don’t have authority to conduct a trial on whether election fraud occurred.”
— Kyle Cheney (@kyledcheney) November 23, 2020
Two GOP members on Wayne County’s Board of Elections changed their votes to certify the county’s results after they were met with public outcry but then sought to reverse their votes after they said that they were duped into changing them. The two members said they were promised an audit of the county’s results, but the secretary of state did not grant one, and state law requires that the results be certified before an audit takes place.

Trump’s legal team has also alleged fraud in the state, focusing on results in Detroit, though irregularities were greater in other towns in the metro area. The team also hit a snag after it used data from Minnesota to say to say that more people voted in Michigan than are actually registered to vote in the state.

Jonathon Brater, the director of Michigan’s Bureau of Elections, said that there was no widespread irregularities or fraud surrounding the state’s results. Chris Thomas, who held the position before Brater, testified during the board’s meeting as well, telling them that their role was merely to sign off on the results.

“You are the end game,” Thomas said. “You’ve got winners, you’ve got losers, you don’t have ties. Not everyone gets a trophy.”

Trump scores two wins as Michigan legislature, federal appeals court agree to election reviews

Michigan House hearing set for Wednesday, and 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals grants expedited review.

By John Solomon
Updated: November 23, 2020 - 4:06pm

President Trump's campaign said it scored two victories Monday in its effort to contest results in several key battleground states, as Michigan state legislators agreed to hold a hearing into election irregularities while a federal appeals court expedited proceedings to consider Trump's legal challenge in Pennsylvania.

The developments were announced by Trump campaign senior legal counsel Jenna Ellis, who said the GOP-led Michigan House would hold its hearing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

"We are grateful to Michigan House lawmakers for not rushing to certify inaccurate election results," Ellis told Just the News. "We are confident they will share the same concerns once they see the extent of the outright fraud and disregard for the law that happened in Michigan and across the nation. Every American should want to know the truth."

Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield, who over the weekend said he feared the state was heading toward a constitutional crisis, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled Trump's "motion for emergency expedited review is granted at the direction of the court."

The campaign must file its initial brief by Monday afternoon, and the court said it "will advise if oral argument desired."

The Trump campaign is appealing U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann's decision Saturday to dismiss the campaign's lawsuit seeking to throw out hundreds of thousands of votes in Pennsylvania on the grounds that Democratic-led counties made changes to voting that violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution.

Brann, an appointee of President Barack Obama, wrote that he "has no authority to take away the right to vote of even a single person, let alone millions of citizens."

His ruling cleared the way for Pennsylvania officials to certify results. Ellis cheered the appeals court intervention.

"We are grateful to the Third Circuit for accepting an expedited review," she said. "There was no legal reason to deny our amended complaint, other than pure politics and judicial activism. This was an Obama-appointed judge whose opinion was rife with errors. We hope the appellate court will recognize that and properly give us our day in court. The American people deserve for us be able to bring forward our witnesses and evidence showing election fraud — this is at the heart election integrity and fundamental fairness."

Statistical Analyst Reveals Scenario of How Dems May Have Pulled Off Massive Fraud in Montgomery County, PA (Part Two)
November 23, 2020 (5h ago)


2020.11.23-03.14-revolvernews-5fbbd1efb9dd2.jpeg

ATTENTION NEWS JUNKIES: We are the new Drudge, be sure to check our news feed by CLICKING HERE
by Simon Fish

Montgomery County’s anomalous election result is suggestive of fraud, but also just puzzling, no matter how it is viewed.


To simplify the reader’s understanding, we describe one possible version of the fraud that would explain the many otherwise very strange facts presented elsewhere. Lest we be misinterpreted here, we are not asserting that these events happened literally as described in the narrative below. However, when one sees a large number of unusual facts, it is important to think about the set of scenarios that might explain all of them.

Thinking about a particular narrative is especially useful to clarify what kinds of evidence one might expect to see if fraud were to have occurred – it tells you where to look next for other weird things that might point in the same direction.
We are trying to reconstruct a sequence of events using only publicly available vote count information, so the reader should bear in mind that there is uncertainty about the exact actions taken internally around the suspicious vote updates. But some variant of the story below seems quite plausible. Indeed, the facts in the previous document corroborate almost every aspect of the story below. To simplify the comparison, we’ve included references to each numbered fact throughout the narrative for reference. But since the main analysis is highly statistical, and mostly good at showing what didn’t happen in terms of innocent reasons, it is helpful to describe what the fraud might have looked like, if it were to have occurred.

A possible narrative of fraud.

Please refer to Part One for a discussion of the Ten Facts.
Suppose, hypothetically, someone was planning to commit electoral fraud in Montgomery County, PA, in favor of the Democrats.

By 5:43am Wednesday morning after election night, Trump is ahead by 618,840 votes, with counting still proceeding. So far, Montgomery County, PA had reported 148,100 mail votes (running 24.4% Trump, and 74.9% Biden) and 388,018 votes total (running 40.8% Trump, 58.2% Biden) (Raw data, Fact 6). Montgomery County has the third highest expected number of votes of all counties in Pennsylvania (Raw data), so they’re one of the few places in a position to be large enough to possibly affect the outcome via fraud.

Pennsylvania was always going to be close, and so the fraud perpetrators wanted to keep as many uncounted ballots as possible in reserve, so that if needed they could produce fraudulent ballots and run up the statewide total for Biden. But crucially, the perpetrator didn’t know in advance exactly just how many ballots would be needed to win the election. So they kept a fair amount back, holding 23% of precincts still in reserve. (Raw data) The amount of mail ballots they had counted by Wednesday morning relative to Edison forecasts is relatively low in the data.

On Tuesday night, the county had held a press conference pre-announcing an approximate number of absentee ballots they’d already collected, but somehow not counted. Some people wondered if it might look weird for a county to hold a press conference on election night rather than just count the votes, but ostentatious displays of transparency make great cover, even if just by unrelated groups taking advantage of them.

Over the course of Wednesday, counting goes on. But for some reason, and this possibility is somewhat open to interpretation, somebody screws up and enters each new update into the “in-person category.” It’s hard to know quite why this happens, but you can imagine different variations at this point. In one, it’s just a pure screw-up – someone doesn’t know how the scheme works, and enters the wrong vote type in a database, then has to correct it later. In a different variant, it could be pre-planned – a great cover story if you need to make extra changes on Wednesday night is “these obvious mail ballots, which were pre-announced, have to be changed to the correct category.” In any case, there isn’t a single update made to mail-in ballots over the day on Wednesday (Raw data).

Wednesday night arrives, and organizers of the fraud realize they now have not one, not two, but three problems with their fraud scheme.

Firstly, statewide, Trump is still up by 164,414 ballots. They need to get more votes from somewhere, or he’s likely to win Pennsylvania and maybe the White House. Commit fraud for the winning side, and they’ve got a good chance of getting by. Commit fraud for the losing side, and they risk winding up in jail. As one of the three biggest counties in Pennsylvania, they’ve got to play a big part.
Second, one way or another, they’re going to have to correct the ballots that were classified as “in-person.” The county had pre-announced details of how many mail ballots were still to be counted, so it would look very strange if this number were to radically change. In general, in-person ballots have a clearer paper trail than mail ballots. So if they’re going to have a chance of not getting caught, they need to do it with mail ballots. In-person ballots are delivered by voters to the actual polling booths around the county, but mail ballots throughout the county have all been sent to a single postal address (Fact 4). This gives them not only one place to control everything, but one single place where they can hide the evidence by mixing up genuine and fraudulent ballots afterwards. Furthermore, the decision to only add totals to in-person votes has left them with a series of updates that look very strange. (Fact 7, Fact 8).

Third, in their effort to produce a smooth glide to the finish, they’ve already spent most of the precincts. They’re now up to 492,027 total votes that have already been announced, or 97.6% of the Edison estimated total (Raw data).

They can’t push the total number of votes too high, or it’s going to raise too many eyebrows – high turnout smells like election fraud. They can use mail ballots for the rest, but with just 12,210 estimated votes left before hitting the Edison expected turnout, they run the risk of not having enough.

So between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, they decide to do several things at once.

Firstly, they bring in a large number of fraudulent mail ballots from a distribution that’s cranked as far as they feel they can push the limit towards Biden – 95.4% Biden. (Fact 2) In addition, because they also want to make sure that Trump is as low as possible, in this batch they also decide to increase the share of votes for the Libertarian candidate (Fact 3) (because, let’s face it, they can’t report a batch with 99.9% Biden without it looking like an election for Saddam Hussein). Adding votes for Jorgensen isn’t quite as good as adding votes for Biden, but it serves one crucial purpose – it lets the Biden percentage come down to slightly more reasonable levels without adding extra votes for Trump, which is the absolute last thing they want (because they’re desperately trying to crank up the statewide margin, and every Trump vote undoes that effect).

They know this distribution looks very suspicious. They know that doing this runs the risk of looking very strange relative to the normal way mail ballot counts work (Fact 7). Their best hope is to somehow combine these new ballots with the other mail votes, so that when everything is mixed up, it’s impossible to see which vote came from where.

But since they’re also constrained on total votes, and they’ve already announced the in-person votes, they have to go back and actually re-classify some of the existing in-person votes as being mail votes (Fact 1). Because they’ve added both too many in-person votes total and too many in-person votes for Biden specifically, they decide to delete from the “in-person” a very large pile of Biden votes (since a fair number of these were fraudulent already, and now these can be better disguised with the mail ballots), and a smaller batch of other candidates (so it doesn’t look like only one candidate is changing) (Fact 5). They figure, incorrectly, that this gives them a good defense, that there was a combination of legitimate new mail ballots, plus some group of incorrectly classified in-person ballots. In all likelihood, nobody is going to notice, and if someone asks questions, they can just blame it on a faulty machine or something. Lots of stuff is changing at once, and it’s going to be hard to disprove the officials’ version of events. How could anyone irrefutably prove fraud?

They report all this at 9:09am Thursday November 5th. Nothing happens, and after November 10th, some new mail ballots continue to trickle in through ordinary means. They end up just counting those as normal – better to just have one fudge than lots of them (Fact 9, Fact 10).

A Coherent Story, Legitimacy + Friday Reads
Posted by R. LANDRY - EDITOR on NOVEMBER 20, 2020

“Where’s the fraud? He should concede, the margins are bigger than when he won in ’16.”

This line is one seen on the Internet or heard from liberal peers with regards to election ’20. in a nutshell, it captures the incoherence of the left’s line right now. Yes, it is factually true that Biden’s margins of victory in select states are larger than Trump’s in ’16. There is one gigantic difference. In ’20, we saw a far larger than normal use of vote by mail ballots that routinely have healthy rejection rates, whereas mystery of mysteries, the rejection rates in these contested states are below 1%. Properly vetting the mail in votes, which skew heavily in Biden’s favor, should make Biden’s leads evaporate. It is a truth that their flippant dismissal cannot answer.

This does point to a bigger problem for the left. They have no story. Right now they point to media pronouncements of Biden is the winner and denying any idea of fraud or errors, while simultaneously skipping around their own nervousness and shutting their eyes and ears to affidavits, found thumb drives, recount disparities and whatnot. It is over! Concede! The right can claim suspicion of fraud and point to an accumulating pile of evidence. Mainstream outlets can avoid this with a blackout, but we now occupy separate Overton windows. Half the nation will see this evidence, and denying it exists only erodes the last scraps of credibility in the mainstream outlets with that half, killing whatever legitimacy they had left.

This does not help the interests, deep state and corporate, that would install Biden. Before I get to Biden, let me tackle Trump’s legitimacy. Trump has never been considered a legitimate president by the left half of our nation since the ’16 election. Forget Russia. The fever dreams of Russian interference do not matter here. I am not talking about the process nor the Russian collusion wild goose chase. Trump’s actions have been in line with the rational-legal idea of legitimacy. The economy prospered, there were no new wars, and immigration procedures were followed better to protect the public interest. That does not matter one bit because Trump has zero moral legitimacy in the eyes of the left.

Trump’s heresies against the speech codes, decorum, the open borders mantra, unrestrained globalism and World Police actions make him illegitimate. Trump’s governance is a slightly different flavor of ice cream but still ice cream, yet this is not good enough. From here on out, any non-progressive leader will be considered illegitimate for these same reasons. The left are deontologists and their guiding rules are Current Year beliefs. It does not matter the outcomes, Trump’s reasoning and rationale are wrong. Consider the silly accusations of Trump being racist without any real meat to back them up. The accusation should be reworded to heretic. If Trump can pull it out, he will have no legitimacy with that crowd, but that was already the case.

Biden’s legitimacy issue is worse because it is not a moral legitimacy issue but the very manipulation of the process to install him. For all the talk of a color revolution, Biden and the deep state are the corrupt figurehead and rickety regime winning via dirty tricks against Trump, who is the charismatic leader representing the peasants that lack institutional control. Biden’s elevation will satisfy the ‘love trumps hate’ crowd, and he will enjoy moral legitimacy as a proper steward of the progressive way, but his victory will be viewed as illegitimate by the right and even a portion of the apolitical center. Add to this the details of Biden family corruption with foreign interests over the last decade, and it quickly becomes a foreign installation of a puppet to roll back aggressive trade policies against said foreign power.

The appeals to norms, process and legislative authority are meaningless in a stolen election environment, especially a society where racial lockstep voting makes persuasion a dead avenue. Norms are dead as every norm has been broken to install a puppet to rid the nation of the evil, orange ogre from Queens.

The flyover right wing voter was one of the least cynical people in America. This November shatters that belief that still inspires them to wave the flag, enlist in the military and trust in the electoral system. Schmitt stated it clearly,
“a legislative state, which today rests on the rules of temporary majorities, can deliver the monopoly of the legal exercise of power to the majorities’ parties and can demand that the minorities renounce the right to resistance only so long as the equal chance of achieving a majority really remains open and this assumption of its principle of justice is somehow still believable”.
You think anyone to the right of Ben Sasse believes this now?

This is where the stories build and legends grow. The left cannot have a coherent story. They are led by a figurehead who is a mentally deteriorating old man who counters everything they have pushed as morally their side since the Obama 2008 victory. Bernie’s victory, even Bloomberg’s victory, would have allowed for a more coherent story. Bernie representing the win of the left wing or Bloomberg representing the win of the ascendant upper middle and upper class, urbanite victors of neoliberal policies. Biden is an atrocious Trojan Horse that muddles their story. Any self-righteous love trumps hate monologue should be answered with hearty laughter.

What story would the right have? A Trump win gives them their tribune. A Trump loss gives them their martyr. The cheated champion of the people is a strong story. If the regime goes after him as he leaves office, all persecution only adds to his martyrdom. Trump may have not acted in flyover’s interests as he governed as a normal republican, but the abuse heaped on him was a stand in for the abuse the left so desperately wants to heap on flyover peasants. The martyr and the steal are strong fuel for a body of people who know the system cannot continue as is. Some arrangements will need to be reconfigured. Where and how this happens is unknown, but what is known is the story to justify them.

This is not a stab in the back myth. This is a corrupt, ossified system using every tool in the shed, and when getting caught cheating just denying it or changing rules to justify it, to deny half the nation from any say in its destiny.

Trump made silly mistakes. The ’17-’18 period with total Congressional control was a huge flub all around. He had some unforced errors. Any slight reconciliation with the McCains likely saves him Arizona even with fraud. Growing out of the antagonizing habits might have saved some suburban votes in the razor thin lost states. Listening to Twitter anons about getting out in front of Corona in February-March of ’20 would have been better than whatever Jared was telling him.

As time rolls on, these mistakes will fade. Martyrs are not perfect beings but people persecuted and killed for their beliefs. What will remain are the actions of November ’20. This will build and build if storytellers are there to do it. It is dumb to explicitly tell half the nation that there is no voting their way to a resolution, but even dumber to give them a martyr. Not anyone else’s but theirs. Not the GOP’s, not the pundits, not even Tucker’s. Theirs. No matter the new political arrangements that will come, the left will feel the heat of a thousand suns.

No, certification of votes is not ‘game over’ for Team Trump

Michigan's certification of votes is, as Jenna Ellis stated on Twitter, a "procedural step." By no means is this the end. In fact, Team Trump is well positioned.
by JD Rucker

November 23, 2020

No certification of votes is not game over for Team Trump

It’s “game over” for Team Trump if you listen to Democrats, mainstream media, or social media trolls. Of course, if you’re one of those who listen to those particular groups, you probably believed there was Russian collusion for three years and that a mysterious “pee tape” was floating around through the Deep State and across Moscow to keep President Trump in check.

Oh, you didn’t believe those things? Then why would you believe Democrats, mainstream media, and social media trolls just because they say that certification of Michigan votes means “game over”? The answer is simple: you shouldn’t. As Jenna Ellis noted on Twitter:

“Certification by state officials is simple a procedural step. We are going to continue combatting election fraud around the country as we fight to count all legal votes. Americans must be assured that the final results are fair and legitimate.”

Fair. Legitimate. Both of these have been in short supply through 2020 in general and around election time in particular. But patriotic Americans needn’t fret.

Seriously, stop fretting. It is unbecoming for those who embrace liberty and the concept of “government by the people” to throw up their virtual hands in desperation and abide by calls that the fat lady has sung. She has not. She’s being shoved onto the stage by the left, but there’s only one group in government who can make her sing…

The Supreme Court has the power to make things right

For better or for worse (in most cases, worse), the judiciary has been allowed to enjoy tremendous power over the last few decades. State and national legislatures have abdicated their responsibility to write the laws of the land by allowing the judiciary to overpower them. The executive branches at various levels have thrown whatever they need to against the wall in hopes they won’t be struck down in court. This is all bad; the judiciary branch was supposed to be the weakest compared to equally powered legislative and executive branches.

Nevertheless, we’re here, and for once we can take advantage of judicial supremacy. It does not matter that Michigan bureaucrats wrongfully (and some would say illegally) certified Joe Biden’s “victory.” That is a step in the system, and each state has the right to engage in their own systems. But at the end of the day, those systems still need to end with a lawful and legitimate result. Right now, the currently accepted results are in doubt.

It’s incumbent on President Trump’s team of attorneys as well as independent attorneys representing the people (see Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, and others) to make their cases before the judiciary. And since we’re talking about it, the only judgments that truly matter are those made by the Supreme Court. The aforementioned Democrats, mainstream media, and social media trolls love to point out every “loss” by Team Trump in lower courts, but here’s the thing. The only thing that matters is the speed at which these cases are elevated to the Supreme Court.

A bad call by a district judge or appellate judges are just like state election board certifications. They’re procedural steps. Even if a district judge rules in favor of Team Trump, that’s not much of a win. It will be appealed, and if the appellate courts uphold it, the case will be appealed again. If it makes it to the Supreme Court, they can still overturn it, rendering any of these so-called “wins” into a giant loss.

The same holds true in reverse, and that’s the most likely set of scenarios we face. Team Trump files suits. They’re kicked by a district judge. They appeal. They’re kicked by an appellate judge. They go to the Supreme Court, and that, friends, is where justice or injustice in this insane election will be determined.

Let the left have their laughs over so-called “losses” at the local, city, state, and district levels. They are all meaningless until the Supreme Court is brought in to sort things out. And they will for one reason. We have the truth on our side.

KRAKEN UPDATE: Powell To Sue Dominion, Smartmatic In New Lawsuit After Separating From Trump Campaign
We haven't seen the last of the high powered lawyer who secured General Flynn's freedom
by ANDREW WHITE
November 23, 2020

SIDNEY POWELL: Trump Won By A Landslide, We’re Going To Clean Up This Mess Now

Attorney Sidney Powell released a statement tonight on CBS News clarifying that she “will continue to defend the foundations of this great Republic” and that she will be “filing suit soon” against Dominion and Smartmatic for allegedly electronically switching of millions of votes from President Donald Trump to Joe Biden, in what she describes as “massive fraud.” This comes after the Trump Campaign announced that she was not a member of the Trump Legal Team on November 22, 2020.

Rudy Giuliani’s official statement from the Trump Campaign reads as follows:

“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity.”

The statement sparked confusion and concern among Trump supporters, who took to the internet to voice their opinions on the new developments. Bryson Gray, a popular Christian, conservative, Trump-supporting musical artist went on Twitter today and said this:
Personally, I think it was dumb to release a statement like that with no context. It’s just gonna bring down the morale of the base because people are gonna think too much of it. Very dumb move IMO.
— President-Elect Bryson Gray (@RealBrysonGray) November 22, 2020
Dinesh D’Souza, creator of the pro-Trump documentary “Trump Card” had this to say:

I just saw this and I really don’t know what to make of it pic.twitter.com/2AWgpWSXS8
— Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) November 22, 2020
While various discussions ensued on what could possibly be going on with the controversial, swamp-angering Sidney Powell, former National Security Advisor and “Spygate” victim, General Michael Flynn gave Americans an update to the situation when he tweeted this:
.@SidneyPowell1 has been suspended from Twitter for 12 hours. She understands the WH press release & agrees with it. She is staying the course to prove the massive deliberate election fraud that robbed #WeThePeople of our votes for President Trump & other Republican candidates.
— General Flynn (@GenFlynn) November 23, 2020
Flynn was not the only deep state target to put out a tweet amid the drama. Former 2016 Trump Campaign foreign policy advisor, George Papadopoulos, tweeted this cryptic message:
We have the numbers. We have the power.

— George Papadopoulos (@GeorgePapa19) November 23, 2020
For Powell’s part, she issued a response to CBS News over the weekend.

“I understand today’s press release. I will continue to represent #WeThePeople who had their votes for Trump and other Republicans stolen by massive fraud through Dominion and Smartmatic, and we will be filing suit soon. The chips will fall where they may, and we will defend the foundations of this great Republic. #KrakenOnSteroids”

While Powell has brought national attention to Dominion and Smartmatic for potentially undermining the integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election, this is not the first time these companies have faced scrutiny or criticism. Documents found on Wikileaks have outlined several concerns that the U.S. State Department had with Smartmatic in 2006. The documents state this:
Smartmatic is a riddle. The company came out of nowhere to snatch a multli-million dollar contract in an electoral process that ultimately reaffirmed Chavez’ mandate and all-but destroyed his political opposition. The perspective we have here, after several discussions with Smartmatic, is that the company is de facto Venezuelan and operated by Venezuelans. The identity of Smartmatic’s true owners remains a mystery. Our best guess is that there are probably several well-known Venezuelan businessmen backing the company who prefer anonymity either because of their political affiliation or, perhaps, because they manage the interests of senior Venezuelan government officials.
The 2006 Wikileaks papers are still available online.

Dominion voting machines have also been known to be easily hacked and manipulated, as was reported on during a segment on MSNBC in 2019. The video was uncovered by Jack Posobiec and subsequently posted on his Twitter account. Watch the video on Twitter here:
And there it is, folks
MSNBC in 2019 reporting how easy it is to hack Dominion and ES&S voting machines @AliVelshi pic.twitter.com/EtUVlstZvM
— Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) November 22, 2020
Powell claims that President Trump was fraudulently cheated out of victory in the 2020 Presidential Election as a result of companies like Dominion and Smartmatic electronically manipulating the vote count in various states across America. If she can successfully prove that President Trump won the election by millions of votes, of which were lost due to widespread voter fraud, she will have uncovered the largest criminal scandal in the history of the United States.

For now, the country awaits, but as Powell noted on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, she does not have a record of making claims she can’t prove.

[COMMENT: I suspect Rudy did not like sharing the spotlight with the thunder -stealing Powell. As someone pointed out, she has to actually have a client who has been harmed by the outcome and can seek remedy or redress through the courts. The courts do not deal in theoretical. I hope she has some voters in the effected states or candidates as clients who can fill that role.]

Attorney Robert Barnes Artfully Explains Media’s Little “Widespread Fraud” Gaslighting Game, That Many People Are Falling For

A lot of good people are falling for this little media "trick," so attorney Robert Barnes sets the legal story perfectly straight...

BY MISSY CRANE
NOVEMBER 23, 2020

The media is still working overtime to drag Dementia Joe over the finish line.

They think the end is in sight, so they’re going all out to squash any efforts to stop the steal, and that includes a very clever “gaslighting” game, that sadly a lot of people are falling for.

It involves the term “widespread voter fraud.” This is a term that’s being batted around left and right by the media, who are claiming there’s no “evidence” of it, thus, they claim Trump’s efforts to fight in the courts is pointless.

But that’s not true and it’s not the legal standard.

According to Barnes, Trump doesn’t have to prove “widespread voter fraud.” All he has to do is show that an honest vote of lawful ballots are in doubt.

Dr. Eric Coomer who is responsible for the strategy and Security of Dominion Voting Systems at Dominion Voting Systems.

But if you search the company’s profile Eric Coomer has since been removed from their page of directors.

In 2016 Coomer told the Illinois States Board of Elections that it was possible to bypass election systems software.

Here is more from the 2016 article at the Post and Email:
Dr. Coomer’s statement brings to light a very serious issue all voters should understand. Voting systems must be re-certified each time they make changes to the hardware or software. Recertification is an expensive and time consuming process. What Dr. Coomer told the Board is that Dominion Voting does not go back for recertification of software when threats to their code are discovered. Rather, they rely on post-election audits and providing advice to election jurisdictions about security. I have reviewed all of the recertification documents produced by Dominion, and I do not recall any software adjustments for security purposes.
This is the reality of the security of your vote. Software systems that count and record the vote across Illinois and throughout the USA are not updated to address security problems, and even if they were, the software can be completely bypassed by going to the data tables that drive the systems.
And in 2017 Eric Coomer explained how to alter votes in the Dominion Voting Systems in a Chicago demonstration.

NEW: Georgia Elections Officials Extend Use of Ballot Drop Boxes For January Twin Senate Runoff

What could possibly go wrong?

Georgia elections officials on Monday voted to extend the use of ballot drop boxes for the January 5 twin Senate runoff where the Republican majority in the Senate is on the line.

The use of ballot drop boxes, which opens the door for illegal ballot harvesting, was set to expire in December, but the 5-member Georgia State Election Board voted to extend the use of drop boxes.

Georgia is already struggling with how to deal with residency concerns after Democrats have called on people to temporarily move to Georgia to vote in the Senate runoff.

GOP incumbent Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are fighting to keep their seats.

Fox News reported:
The five-member Georgia State Election Board, chaired by Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, voted on Monday to extend the use of the 24/7 monitored drop boxes for use through the runoffs. Use of the boxes was originally set to expire in late December.
The move comes amid a surge in absentee ballot requests in the runoff elections. Officials said that as of Monday morning 762,000 requests for absentee ballots had been submitted.

A second rule adopted allows counties to continue to begin processing absentee ballots two weeks before Election Day – but now also mandates them to start processing them no later than a week and one day ahead of the election. But as per Georgia law, none of the ballots would be tabulated and counted until the polls close on Jan. 5.
The board didn’t discuss or rule on a measure dealing with residency concerns. The secretary of state’s office opted instead to send an official election bulletin to counties regarding residency information.
The deadline to register to vote for the runoff elections is Dec. 7 – and early in-person voting in the twin contests begins on Dec. 14.
President Trump was up by more than 110,000 votes in Georgia on election night when Fulton County suspended counting due to a burst pipe.

There is no evidence that a pipe actually burst at the State Farm Arena tabulation center, however according to GA GOP Chairman David Shafer, elections officials continued to count ballots in the dead of the night with no observers present.

Corrupt officials in Atlanta continued to produce/count mail-in ballots for Joe Biden without checking signatures days after the election and Biden now leads Trump by approximately 12,000 votes in Georgia.

The Democrats will use the same mail-in voter fraud tactics to steal the twin Senate runoff and the RINO Secretary of State is assisting them with the steal

Joe diGenova: Courts Must Throw Out Hundreds of Thousands of Illegal Votes in Michigan and Pennsylvania (VIDEO)

On Monday Attorney Joe diGenova joined Howie Carr on Newsmax TV to discuss the ongoing litigation against the Democrat Party fraud in the 2020 election.

During the discussion Joe diGenova reiterated that the illegal votes in Pennsylvania and Michigan must be thrown out.

If Americans allow hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes to be counted in a private room with no observers then our country is finished.

And if our top courts allow this fraud to occur then FOR SURE our country is finished.

This was another great interview by Carr and diGenova.

Michigan Witness and Former US Congressional Candidate Speaks Out — Saw the Biden Ballot Dump at 4 AM and Witnessed Officials Tampering with Tabulators! (VIDEO)

By Ben Wetmore
Published November 23, 2020 at 7:40am

Yet another witness has come forward to say that she witnessed VOTER FRAUD in Detroit on election day.

This news is being actively suppressed by the Michigan Attorney General, social media companies, and by dishonest ‘fact-checking’ organizations that play word games and rely on partisan Wayne County judges to ignore dozens of witnesses who describe the same things.

Even Republican Senators are saying they see “no evidence of voter fraud.” GOP leaders say there is no observable voter fraud.

And yet somehow the Gateway Pundit seems to keep finding it and reporting it every single day.

Articia Bomer was a candidate for US Congress with the US Taxpayers Party. She is a Detroit resident, and she was present at the TCF Center on Nov. 3rd and 4th when the votes from Wayne County were tabulated.

Bomer says she witnessed MASSIVE, BLATANT VOTER FRAUD.
Bomer describes:
  • Hearing an announcement of 50 boxes at 4am: the Biden Ballot Dump!
  • Hearing that the Biden Ballot Dump was counted and processed in an impossibly short amount of time
  • Witnessing officials TAMPERING with tabulators at the TCF Center!
  • Ballot harvesting operations being done by a local Church
  • Poll workers overriding the actual votes, and changing Trump votes to BIDEN!
  • Poll workers REFUSING TO COUNT Trump votes!
  • Poll workers bringing in luggage and boxes that could have contained illegal ballots
  • Poll Workers using deceitful tactics and colluding with Democrats to try and EXPEL GOP Poll Challengers
  • GOP Poll Challengers being EJECTED from observing the vote count
  • GOP Poll Challengers were observing ILLEGAL BALLOTS and their objections were IGNORED
  • Poll workers being obvious Democrat PARTISANS
  • Suspicious meetings of the poll workers
Bomer describes a Detroit poll worker who used correction tape to rig the machines to generate errors that could be overridden by staff.

“Our goal was to secure the vote.” Bomer raised her concerns at the time with the GOP Attorneys on-site but nothing appears to have been done in response to her statements.

“Now? I don’t have faith in any election system after having witnessed this fraud happen right before my eyes,” Bomer said.

CONFIRMED: The Trump Team’s Steve Cortes Confirms Our Previous Report – Trump’s Case is a Constitutional One

By Joe Hoft

President Trump Team member Steve Cortes on Twitter confirms our reporting earlier today. The President’s cases regarding voter fraud and activities taken by Democrats to steal the election are solid constitutional cases.

We shared the following this morning when listing a litany of fraud related activities and events perpetrated by the Democrats in their effort to steal the 2020 Presidential election.

We shared that activists, media, and “the left” in general are demanding that Trump and his team produce evidence “beyond a reasonable doubt” concerning unprecedented fraud in this year’s campaign. This is ridiculous! Although absolutely important in “criminal” cases, complaints such as those filed by the President and his team, only need to show a “preponderance of the evidence”. This is the absolute LOWEST burden of proof, sometimes called the 51-49 standard, or the “balance of probabilities” standard.

The Three Burdens of Proof (in some situations referred to as standards) are as follows
  • Beyond a reasonable doubt: The highest standard the law imposes. …
  • Clear and convincing evidence: An elevated standard that requires a judge or jury to have substantial assurance that the allegations are correct.
  • Preponderance of the evidence: The lowest standard.
Even though the brilliant attorneys on the mainstream media like FOX News have failed to share this, it does not make it any less true. The Trump team only has to prove a preponderance of evidence to win his cases.

Today the Trump Team confirmed our understanding:
A key point about Trump’s official legal team and other allies pursuing important cases independently.
The Sidney Powell case is effectively a criminal case, and she continues to aggressively pursue it. The campaign’s case is primarily a Constitutional one.
Both can work.

JOE BIDEN did not win 77 million votes and the election. Every sane American knows this. He did not beat Obama’s record and he did not beat President Trump’s historic record. Based on Biden’s events leading up to the election, Biden couldn’t even get more than 30 people at an event hosted with Jon Bon Jovi or President Obama.

The Fraud is Real with a Preponderance of Evidence

Within the first 24 hours after the election we knew it was stolen. President Trump sets the record for the most votes ever and somehow the guy in the basement who is quickly failing in intellectual abilities due to old age, somehow broke the all-time vote record to beat the President’s win.
Within the first few days we saw ample evidence of fraud:

Within a week we uncovered the massive fraud and now today there are literally hundreds of affidavits filed, under penalty of perjury, declaring that:
  • Many dead people voted with the indication of fraud
  • Ballots were destroyed intentionally with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots were separated from their envelopes with the intention of fraud
  • Vote counts were manipulated with the intention of fraud
  • Absentee ballots were received back at the counting center BEFORE they were even sent out with the intention of fraud
  • Many people over 100 years old cast ballots with the intention of fraud
  • Observers were blocked, some by cardboard sheets, pizza boxes, or social distance, with the intention of fraud
  • Many people voted more than once, in multiple states, where they were ineligible to vote with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots were “cured” even before the date they were supposed to be opened with the intention of fraud
  • Batches of ballots were scanned multiple times into the tabulators with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots were LOST in predominantly Trump precincts and found after audits with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots for Trump were found in garbage cans, ditches, or were shredded before, on and after election day with the intention of fraud
  • Hundreds of thousands of suspicious ballots, many of them 96% up to 100% for Biden were DUMPED into the count in the wee hours of the morning AFTER election day in SWING STATES and the counting had been “stopped” with the intention of fraud
It is our belief that FRAUD OCCURRED in the 2020 Election and the President and his team have MET THE BURDEN OF PROOF and his relief should be granted.

We believe if viewed accurately, the judges will easily see the fraud too.
 

TheSearcher

Are you sure about that?
  • Many dead people voted with the indication of fraud
  • Ballots were destroyed intentionally with the intention of fraud
  • Ballots were separated from their envelopes with the intention of fraud
  • Vote counts were manipulated with the intention of fraud
  • Absentee ballots were received back at the counting center BEFORE they were even sent out with the intention of fraud
  • Many people over 100 years old cast ballots with the intention of fraud
  • Observers were blocked, some by cardboard sheets, pizza boxes, or social distance, with the intention of fraud

  • Ballots for Trump were found in garbage cans, ditches, or were shredded before, on and after election day with the intention of fraud
  • Hundreds of thousands of suspicious ballots, many of them 96% up to 100% for Biden were DUMPED into the count in the wee hours of the morning AFTER election day in SWING STATES and the counting had been “stopped” with the intention of fraud

This reads like a set of grievances in an old document from a couple of centuries ago... The list is a well-distilled breakdown of our current troubles.

Rudy Giuliani on Break with Sidney Powell: ‘We’re Pursuing Two Different Theories’

JEFF POOR23 Nov 20201,026

Video on website: 7:04 min
Monday, during an appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani responded to a question about his team’s decision to announce a break with Sidney Powell on Sunday.

Giuliani attributed it to his pursuit of a different theory than Powell’s approach and proceeded to lay out his effort.

“I think it’s because we’re pursuing two different theories,” he said. “Our theory of the case to get to the Supreme Court now in four places — and it’s soon going to be in two others, and there’ll be an overall lawsuit — is basically misconduct of the election by state officials in at least five or six different states in which the misconduct of the election involved depravation of constitutional rights for the president. For example, in one part of the state, you could fix a ballot, Democrat part. Other part of the state, you couldn’t fix a ballot. One part of the state, the ballots were examined. The other part of the state, they didn’t care if the ballots were examined. In Pennsylvania, there are 680,000 unexamined ballots that virtually were put in secretly by Democrats alone. That’s outrageous. That is misconduct of the election.”

“Elections are supposed to be conducted under the auspices of the laws passed by the legislature, and, in fact, they made a mockery of it in Pennsylvania,” Giuliani continued. “The only place maybe worse is Michigan, and particularly the city of Detroit. The city of Detroit probably had more voters than it had citizens. I’m exaggerating a bit, but all you have to do is look at statistical data, and you can see that the fraud was rampant and out of control. What happened this time, Lou, they had these mail ballots — which I think was always part of the plan.

They always cheated somewhat with absentee ballots. But, for example, they only had 450,000 absentee ballots four years ago in Pennsylvania. This time they had 2.6 million. That’s like, you know, that’s like letting a couple of thieves free all night in Tiffany. And these expert voter fraud people, which you’ve got to say that Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania — and Philadelphia and Detroit have a great expertise in voter fraud. It isn’t the first election they’ve stolen. But this time, they had massive ballots to do it with.”

“And we have evidence,” he added. “The evidence has been presented, and the media lies that we have no evidence. They’re just too lazy to read our 100 affidavits, which are on the public record, from American citizens whose votes were stolen from them.”
