I don’t doubt that and it will probably come out. I don’t see anyone pursuing this bringing that up…yet.
The only reason the call between Trump and the GA SoS was recorded was because they learned their lesson after Lindsay Graham tried to get them to circumvent the will of the people earlier by tossing legally cast votes.
Honestly, I don’t know why this is the least bit surprising. We saw this same exact behavior when Trump was trying to get Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden and he was literally impeached for it.
It’s almost as if by refusing to actually conduct a trial in the Senate, like they should have, Republicans actually emboldened the soon to be ex-President to conduct similar behavior later on. Now who could have possibly seen that coming?
Not that can be shown. I see things like this as something that needs to be looked into to improve the process in the future. The chances of actually overturning enough electoral votes to alter the results of the election…not going to happen.
And to think some were worried about defecit spending to give people COVID stimulus, but the Federal government should totes spend as much as they need to for something that’s totally moot. Makes sense.
Nearly half the country has consistently expressed distrust of our elections and how they are conducted since 2000 and instead of making it better we make it worse in the after math of each succeeding election cycle.
Everyone knows there is a problem but the powers at be don’t want to seriously address it and do something about it, they just want it as a political wedge issue for both sides.
