It’s amazing how the President actually gets his enemies to…

In this audio, which of course the President knew was being taped (after years of leaks), the President gets the Georgia Secretary of State to own the faulty data. Raffensperger cannot claim he made a mistake.

It’s a sting. “Shredded ballots” and “took out machines” - “do you know anything about that? ‘Cause that’s illegal, right?”

How can the fake news claim that this audio is false? The answer is that they can’t. It comes from one of their own, The Washington Post.

Ryan Germany, General Counsel for Georgia’s Secretary of State, jumps in. “No, Dominion has not moved any machinery out of Fulton County.”

“But have they moved the inner parts?”

“Are you sure, Ryan?”

The lawyer could have said “I don’t know,” or “We’re looking into it” or even “We can never know for sure.”

But he said: “No.”

And again: “I’m sure.”

What a stupid thing to say.

You are never, ever “sure.”

Never.

That, right there, is the telltale.

Raffensperger reiterated his statement of earnest belief and the President, clearly speaking to the hidden microphone as well as to the man, explains his claim is not credible and therefore criminal.

*reiterates

So every person who shares this audio is actually sharing an audio reflecting that the election fraud occurred, the President knows it, and the Georgia Secretary of State should know but is actively attempting to suppress reality.

This behavior is clearly an attempt to preserve a status quo, meaning a flipped election, that a reasonable person would question sincerely.

In the face of a sincere question based on rational argument and clear and convincing data, an objective government official seeks to locate the truth, regardless of where the truth may land.

President Trump says he has information to the effect that they’re shredding ballots and moving machinery, that these are CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES, and furthermore that he is “NOTIFYING YOU [GA Secy of State] THAT YOU’RE LETTING IT HAPPEN.”

The rest of this is President Trump trying to give Raffensperger a way to avoid criminal prosecution.

Maybe you could argue that the President should not have been so kind.

But he is dealing with the law, and in the law, there is a standard that has to be met for a case to be won, and so I suppose he erred on the side of caution.

It’s amazing how the President actually gets his enemies to do the work of burying themselves.
