In her Substack "Civil Discourse," former U.S. Attorney and currently a senior fellow with NYU's Brennan Center for Justice Joyce Vance looks at last night's garbage dump from the narcissistic, lying and slurring Malignant Fascist, and draws conclusions:
"Trump’s lies do not bear repeating.
But what is important is understanding what he’s trying to do: He’s searching for a way to legitimize interference in an election he knows his party is going to lose in November. He may not be on the ballot, but it has personal consequences for a man who derives benefit and protection from the presidency. So this is about laying a predicate for intervention and challenges in 2026 and future elections. This could be preparation for using NSPM-7 and going after political opponents. Prepare for the “ghost of Hugo Chavez” to resurface. Trump has a habit of creating fake emergencies and using them to exercise power in unprecedented and illegal ways.
And the irony. Trump: 'I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have.'
It’s no longer 2025. The courts and the public are savvy about Trump’s abuses. Everyone who is paying attention understands he is panicking about November." (our emphasis)
Last night's claim that China interfered in the 2020 election (with the apparent knowledge of his own intelligence agencies at the time) is one of the conspiracies that he wants to employ to undermine the 2026 elections. To the public, State attorneys general and election officials: forewarned is forearmed.
