Trump calls GA Sec of State, begs and threatens him to “find” votes

[superchuck500]

This is forking crazy.

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.”

This is forking crazy.

How can that not be against the law ? and abuse of power ?

So if Trump pardons his people for all this crap going on and they are subpoenaed. They can’t plead the fifth. Would they be in contempt and able to be jailed for that?

He was always a pathetic whining crybaby, and he is finally going out as a pathetic whining crybaby LOSER.

What is most shocking is that despite an objectively humiliating loss he still has this many sycophants and enablers to feed him this "information."

Georgia alone doesn't even flip the election! He needs this in multiple states with much wider margins! Why does he think anybody who isn't a puppet (cough Ted Cruz cough) or on his payroll would listen to any of this?

Just the dumbest forking people in the world.



I want him to just go away, but I would also be fine with impeaching him again on general principle.

I love how quickly Trump goes from

“there’s a rumor that ballots were shredded”

to

“we know that 3,000 pounds of ballots were shredded.”

Lock him up!

Trump's 'less-than-perfect' call to Georgia officials could also be a crime

As word spread Sunday of President Trump’s astonishing phone conversation with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger the day before, there was widespread speculation that the president had committed one or more crimes in his effort to overturn the results of the election in Georgia...

Susan Collins is already drafting a sternly worded letter expressing how concerned she is.

Who is the "she" he keeps mentioning? Is he talking about Stacy Abrams?
