Martha MacCallum bags a rat
This afternoon Fox's Martha MacCallum had a chance to interview Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which the mild mannered Fox News anchor got Raffensperger (Or Raff the Rat) to reluctantly admit that it was he who leaked the phone call with the President to the Washington Post. It took a while to get the admission if you listen carefully to the tape he tried to sidestep it like we are all children. MacCallum persisted and then he admitted to the truth saying he did it after the President came out with some of the conversation on Twitter.
Here is that interview:
We also learned that he had an axe to grind with Senator David Purdue who had called for Raffensperger's resignation. It was Raffensperger who signed the secret consent decree with progressive activist Stacey Abrams, which made a check of mail-in-ballot signatures tied to the signature of those requesting the ballot, as opposed to a voter's on-record signature. The past election in Georgia saw an unprecedented use of mail-in-voting, while at the same time experiencing a very low rejection rate for ballots via signatures. On the tape you will hear Raffensperger claim there were only 2! (People who had signed for their spouses). He also promised Purdue that if he would call him man-to-man he would keep the conversation "off-the-record. " (scouts honor!)
It seems that Raffensperger is willing to take down Purdue as an act of revenge, which is part of the theme here.
We also learned that Raffensperger had been ignoring the President's calls (18 of them). He may cave in to democrats but Georgia's Secretary of State had no problem putting a knife in the President's back.
The phone call with the President was related to a lawsuit and the settlement of some of those issues. Oddly enough, none of the suits the President has brought before the Courts have claimed fraud. The media has trouble explaining such things.

Raffensperber investigated the election results but he won't release it to the public.
The recording is released to the Washington Post about 24 hours before the election. Another Post special!
gee, republican inter-party politics sure are cut throat.
It's really simple: Don't do dirty deals with dirty democrats and you avoid being asked to resign.
gosh, the losers headed to the dumpster in 15 days all seem to have R's by their names.
It really is kind of amusing all this infighting and backbiting. Usually, it is the Democratic party who squabbles while the Republican party closes ranks.
Vic, you far separated from reality with that statement. You say that the results of the election should stand at the same time stating that "dirty deals" were done, in-essence agreeing with the president. So which is it? Do you agree with the president? Do you agree that the election was stolen? That is what it sounds like.
What 'dirty deals' are you talking about Vic? Since your unfounded bullshit about the Compromise Agreement has already been refuted, I would think that you'd refrain from making the same mistake.
Oh and it may behoove you to note that the Compromise Agreement was entered into in MARCH. Where the fuck was Trump and his sycophants THEN? Why wait until AFTER the elections to whine and misrepresent it?
Really?
You say that the results of the election should stand at the same time stating that "dirty deals" were done
There is no contradiction there. If signatures were wrongly validated via the agreement they in essence transformed what could be a fraudulent ballot into a legal one. You couldn't do anything about that now.
Making legal what could be fraudulent.
Oh and it may behoove you to note that the Compromise Agreement was entered into in MARCH.
Did you know about it in March? Who did?
Somebody here said this:
Oh ya, that was YOU.
Every fucking REPUBLICAN election official in Georgia Vic. They are listed on the Compromise Agreement.
Is it your posit that they didn't share that shit with the Governor or the RNC?
Come on man.
Bout time.
Trump never should have attempted to bully the state of Georgia. That phone call never should have happened. Trump created the knife and then asked that it be inserted into his back.
And all his rabid sycophants want is the blood of those bold enough to let people hear the truth from the fat lying horses mouth. They are more upset that this was leaked than they are about the content of the calls which were arguably criminal. What a bunch of sad sacks of shit.
It is incredible is it not? There is no wiggle room here. There is no denying what Trump said.
The only rat bagged on that call was King Rat Trump.
he's one fat rat too ...
One thing I know about rats is that they usually come out at night when nobody is around.

One of them just won the formally prestigious medal of freedom award.
Lol! Mine is the comment of no value in this thread?
Not really. Anything you would like explained I'll be more than happy to help.
Well, bunker boy seems to fit that description.
What lead you to that conclusion Vic? Have you listened to the call and read the lawsuit?
What are you trying to pretend that the media is having trouble explaining?
Don't like the message? Kill the messenger...
What was the message?
Raffensperger said that he did not record the call but evaded the key details on taping and timing of the release.
MacCallum pressed him on why release the tape just a day before the election and Raffensperger deflected the questions.
He indicated that the release was a type of retaliation. I guess we can place him in the John McCain class.
He said that he blames Perdue for threats against his wife after calling for his resignation.
The Message seems to be that revenge is best served hot to do maximum damage to a Republican Senator.
The call was on Saturday, they release the tape to the media on Sunday. It was stupid of Trump to make such a call just days before the run-off election but there was no holding on to it to release it at some "opportune" time by Raffensperger. That's complete hogwash. Only Trump brown nosing sycophant loyalists would be upset by the release and not the content of this arguable criminal attempt to threaten a State into overturning an election. I guess some just fucking hate democracy when it doesn't work the way they want it to and elect their preferred sad sack of shit candidate.
The fact is, the WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE was to elect Joe Biden, plain and simple. Trump sycophants are attempting to overturn the WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE and should be seen as the slimy undemocratic traitors they are.
The 'message' from your seed seems to be that Trump isn't culpable for anything and his sycophants will fabricate bullshit to defend him.
It's interesting that you don't question the 'timing' of Trump's call. The case that you and they pretend the call was about will be heard by a Judge TODAY. The VAST majority of the bullshit that Trump blathered about aren't even cited in that filing and the VAST majority of the machinations that are in the filing have already been refuted. If they thought they had a winning case, they wouldn't have made the call.
That donald is a complete piece of shit that believes in conspiracy theories and is trying to subvert an election.
Of course you know that. You are only trying to blame the people that are turning on a light to the cockroaches infesting the Whitehouse.
I would too. Anyone would. Has nothing to do with him releasing the recording, even though you want it to for some revenge angle...
The desperation of trying to make the people that made the call into the victims is laughable.
Pathetic even.
Well I'm pretty sure that Cleta Mitchell will be whining about being a victim since her law firm stated that they have a policy NOT to represent candidates in the 2020 race. She may be unemployed soon.
The call was just the latest of 19 calls.
It seems that you're always dealing with bullshit!
If they thought they had a winning case, they wouldn't have made the call.
Does that hold true for the Secretary of State? Why can't the people see what went on?
I don't even think he thinks he can overturn the election. He has to act out the role.
I would too.
I'm sorry to hear that.
No Tarot cards
You really think he is acting out a role on that call? Sorry no, sounds like he actually believes himself.
So you are going to tell me that you would not be upset? A person in his own party, that is suppose to be on his side, have the same goals, now says he is basically a traitor, should resign, should not have the office and because of his and donald's rhetoric his wife received death threats.
Bullshit you would not be upset.
Oh, I forgot. Some people cannot see outside of the donald blinders.
Why? What is the value of this pretense?
Truncating others comments to pretend to make a point is cowardice.
Since the call was initiated by TRUMP, your question is moot.
Oh and BTFW, you must have missed the FACT that it was Trump's lawyer that asked for a 'Compromise and Settlement' meeting Vic.
Didn't you hear Trump say they have zoomed in video in slow motion?
Of course not, he's trying to get others to 'flip' states FOR him.
Where the fuck is THAT written Vic.
Trump is instigating this entire debacle and HE has scripted this role only HE had any desire to play.
One of Trump's main "arguments" is that fake ballots were hidden in suitcases under a table and after most of the election workers went home the suitcases were pulled out by a woman named -------- --------- and she orchestrated a fraudulent count of those votes, even going so far as to run some of them through the scanner 3 or 4 times.
Today at the Georgia secretary of states press conference to rebut Trump they explained completely what happend with the "suitcases" and the multiple scans. It was explained completely and nothing wrong was done. Trump used the woman's name multiple times and defamed her. I hope there is a way for her to sue.
I will say this for Trump, in the phone call Saturday Trump talked and talked and talked, he talked much more than all the rest of the people on the call put together. Trump has memorized an entire scenario of the election in Georgia being stolen from him, and he regurgitated it and regurgitated it. Problem is almost all of it is not true. Of course a little thing like having to lie doesnt hold Trump back.
Indeed that phone call was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Reminds me of this clip from the movie Billy Madison
So we keep hearing. I know! Maybe Raffensperger could find the fortitude to release all this proof he has to the American people.
Georgia did TWO recounts of the ballots which were witnessed by observers and covered by CTV.
Georgia also did an audit of the Cobb County, the ONLY place where there were 'credible' questions about signatures. That audits findings were published on the SoS's website:
So please tell me, WTF will it take for you to admit that Trump LOST?
Ooooo a 'secret consent decree', sounds nefarious.
What it is in reality though is BS. There was no SECRET consent decree Vic. In fact, there was NO 'consent decree' at all.
There WAS a 'Compromise and Settlement Agreement and Release' that was filed with the court and distributed to election officials all over Georgia.
Oh and BTFW, contrary to your claim, that agreement states as follows:
But WAIT, there's MORE.
Stacy Abrams wasn't even a party in the agreement.
So that whole paragraph of your screed is utter bullshit.
But hey, thanks for playing...
Tell us how many registrar or clerks actually took the time to do that during the initial count?
Be specific and provide us a link
This Reuters article might help you out.
Maybe you should have read the article before posting it.
Georgia is not even on the list of states that use the device.
Vic, you're deflecting from you false allegation by asking a ridiculous question. Sad.
I provided evidence to PROVE your allegations were ALL bullshit Vic. Deal with it.
Oh and BFTW, I asked questions that you failed to answer.
Tell us how many did not. Provide A Link.
[deleted] The electoral college votes will be certified on the 6th and Biden will become president on the 20th. Trump cult can spew all the nonsense they want, won't change the facts.
Some day another pathological psycho populist will get swept into power, but under the Democrat banner, and all this defense of Trump’s behavior will be used as precedent for defending a much smarter villain.
There are a couple dozen comments on this seed that are "locked". No explanation, nothing.
Why bother to post?
All you have to do is look. Looks like a slap fight brewing to me. And there are very few who can lock a thread. Take it up with them.
Wow, I just looked under the cushions on the sofa and guess what I found?
11,780 ballots. Whoda thought.
American is saved, give me an Amen.
Amen! And pass the Borsht!
