From the Washington Post article...
“ I just want to find 11,780 votes’: In extraordinary hour-long call, Trump pressures Georgia secretary of state to recalculate the vote in his favor“
“President Trump urged fellow Republican Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in an extraordinary one-hour phone call Saturday that election experts said raised legal questions.
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.”
Throughout the call, Raffensperger and his office’s general counsel rejected his assertions, explaining that Trump is relying on debunked conspiracy theories and that President-elect Joe Biden’s 11,779-vote victory in Georgia was fair and accurate”
What’s really interesting is the power hungry Republicans are willing to jump off a cliff for this guy.

The audio imbed is worth listening to also. Would love to know who leaked it out.
As this has gone on, I suspect Trump has serious, serious legal exposure. This is past his inability to handle losing, and into desperation.

I wonder if those Republicans that are going to object to the election results on Wednesday will still think this is a good idea after this story spreads.

Wow. How did they get the phone recording?
Of course there will be no Republicans denouncing this behavior. How long until the Republicans start saying that Trump was joking or this was taken out of context or he was misunderstood?
Is this not sedition?

He literally makes me sick. After everything that he has done to keep his sorry ass in the WH, he lost-and he cannot accept it. Too bad.

And trump is going to get a pardon so there’s no way he can be prosecuted.
Here’s the audio

It’s a ‘perfect’ phone call, nothing wrong at all, then do something else utterly outrageous to distract from it. I’m just glad it’s out there and he can’t redact the parts where he broke the law. I hope he’s prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. |

The House should immediately move to impeach him. This is beyond ridiculous. He's made a mockery of our election process and should be held accountable.

Reporter with tape on CNN
Amy Gardener
So far only releasing edited tape.
There is a full hour tape.
WP hopes to get full tape on air soon.
John Dean states Georgia is a one party on recording tapes. LEGAL.
Mark Meadows was present in WH during call, probable speaker phone.

I wonder if those Republicans that are going to object to the election results on Wednesday will still think this is a good idea after this story spreads. The Republicans who are objecting aren't trying to save Trump, they are auditioning for control of his base. This isn't about Trump, this is about the future control of the Trumplicans. |

Unbelievable. I’ve lost count of the number of times as thought, this is rock bottom, Trump and his minions can’t get any lower, then they do.
I wonder if he called the Nevada, Arizona or Wisconsin governors and/or Secretaries of State begging the same thing. I’m not sure, are any of them Republicans?
Also wondering what he thinks will happen if Georgia gives him the votes? Still not enough to win the election.
Kudos to whoever leaked the tape.

Trump once said he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and nothing would happen. This is it. This is Trump shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue. Let’s see if something happens.

All about the base. Only reason I think Arkansas AG signed onto the suit from TX. She spoke at 2016 Republican convention also. |

During call dt threatened that he was putting Raffensperger on notice that he committeed crimes.. Too short time for dt to take that action.
........ .......
dt has threatened coercion, extortion, violence, all criminal on his part.
Senators left their session, just shrugged their shoulders .
House is still in session.
How are all the new one being sworn in IF it was an illegal election?

I. Can't. Even.
This is complete and utter bullshit.
I am so sick and FUCKING tired of his lies, and his desperate attempts to dismantle the constitution, and to circumvent the legal election procedures.
And I am so over all the spineless power hungry despicable assholes who go along with all of this.
Who go along with this insanity and craziness.
Who enable his narcissism, and his delusional conspiracy theories that are so ridiculous and crazy that it just boggles my mind how ANYONE with common sense can believe any of them.
I am DISGUSTED by the MILLIONS of americans who still stand behind this lying, cheating, homophobic, bigoted, selfish, cruel *insert any negative attribute here, because I'm sure it applies to this MF'er* piece of garbage.
Hate is a strong word, and I don't use it lightly.
But it's an understatement to say that I hate Donald Trump with every fiber of my being.
He has made a joke out of the office of the POTUS.
He has the death of over 350000 americans on his conscience.
He is a vile human being.
I hate him.
Fuck this guy.
