Trump Tries To Get Georgia To Illegally "Find" Votes (UPDATED)



What a desperate, criminal banana Republican:

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 dismissed their arguments.

“The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry,” he said. “And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.”

Raffensperger responded: “Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is, the data you have is wrong.”

At another point, Trump said: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.” (our emphasis)

How stupid, deranged and deluded do you have to be to ask Georgia officials to brazenly alter the recounted and certified numbers in order to change election results at this point?  And, if that's not suborning election fraud, we'd like to know what is.  That's Mango Mussolini falling back on his "do us a favor" crime family boss persona.

To reiterate, the "people" (the Red Hat cultists) are "angry" because they've been lied to by Mango Mussolini and his party of rats about the results of a free and fair election THAT MANGO MUSSOLINI LOST.  

The rotted- out Republican Party owns this, every bit of this, and every one of them.

UPDATEHere's the full audio of the call.

UPDATE II:  Sen. Durbin says Trump's call merits "criminal investigation."
