FOCUS: White House Made 18 Previous Attempts to Call Raffensperger

Benjamin Hart, New York Magazine
Hart writes: "During a surreal, hour-long phone call on Saturday, President Trump repeatedly badgered Georgia secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the state's election results, insisting that he 'find' 11,780 of votes that would prove Trump's actually beat Joe Biden in November."

Trump seemed to have left his coup request until the last minute, but it wasn’t for lack of previous effort. Several outlets reported on Monday that the call was the White House’s 19th attempt to reach Raffensperger directly since the election, more than two months ago.

An adviser to Raffensperger — a deeply conservative official who has become something of a liberal favorite for exposing Senator Lindsey Graham’s attempts to subvert the election, and for generally sticking to his guns on the matter of Georgia’s election integrity — told Politico that the secretary of State was understandably worried that “he would be unethically pressured by the president” during such a conversation, which may explain why he was screening calls with a 202 area code so aggressively.

Fully aware of what a conversation with Trump was likely to entail, Raffensperger’s team decided to record Saturday’s call, then wait to see if Trump would mischaracterize the proceedings publicly. When the president inevitably did just that, the president’s not-so-perfect phone call was revealed to the world.

FOCUS: Charles Pierce | My God, He's Completely Insane

Charles Pierce, Esquire
Pierce writes: "God, he's completely bloody insane. He wants to bring it all down on his own head."

With "the most important speech he's ever made," the president announced he will bring the temple down on his own head.

od, he's completely bloody insane. He wants to bring it all down on his own head.

"The most important speech" he's ever made?

46 minutes?

Gawdamighty.

We were leading in all swing states far greater than they ever thought possible.

Tens of millions of ballots sent to unknown recipients.

It's a widely known fact that voting rolls are packed with people who are not lawfully eligible to vote....this is not disputed. It has never been disputed.

In Wisconsin...where we were way up on election night. [Holds up poster]...at 3:42 in the morning, there was this, a massive dump of votes, almost all Biden. I went from leading by a lot, to losing by a little.

If we are right about the fraud, Joe Biden can't be president.

They would fill out ballots not even knowing if these people were going to show up and when they did show up, they said, "Sorry. You've already voted."

It's name is Dominion. With a turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you can take a vote for Trump and change it to Biden.

It's already been out that 100s of thousands of absentee ballots have been requested. Who's getting those ballots?

It is statistically impossible that the person, me, who led the charge lost.

And, perhaps, the greatest Sir Story of them all.

The speaker of the house of a certain state said, "Sir, I expected to lose my seat. And instead, because of you, because of that incredible charge, and because of all those rallies, we had a tremendous victory. And everybody knows it. You were much more popular than me, sir, except I got many more votes than you did. And it's impossible for that to happen." There is something wrong. And I will tell you what's wrong...voter fraud.

Millions of votes were cast illegally in the swing states. If that's the case, then the results of the individual swing states must be overturned and overturned immediately. Some people say that's too far out. That's too harsh. Well, does that mean that we take a president, and we've just elected a president who was elected with votes that were fraudulent? No, it means you have to overturn the election.

You can watch the whole thing. He does everything except rub dirt in his hair. Me? I have a very brief tolerance for sedition in high places.
