Axios: Meadows on Wray's voter fraud dismissal: "He has a hard time finding emails in his own FBI"
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows dismissed FBI Director Chris Wray's testimony that the U.S. has never historically seen evidence of widespread voter fraud, including by mail, during an appearance on "CBS This Morning" on Friday.
Why it matters: Meadows' statement highlights the Trump administration's strategy to sow doubt in November's election results by challenging the legitimacy of mail-in ballots, which are expected to skew heavily in Democrats' favor.
What he's saying: "With all due respect to Director Wray, he has a hard time finding emails in his own FBI," Meadows said.
"This is a very different case. The rules are being changed, and so what I'm suggesting is perhaps [Wray] ... in North Carolina and other places where multiple ballots, duplicate ballots, are being sent out, perhaps he needs to get involved on the ground and then he would change his testimony on Capitol Hill."
The big picture: President Trump has repeatedly baselessly claimed that increased mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic will lead to widespread voter fraud, while providing no evidence to support his assertions. He declined this week to commit to a peaceful transition of power over the issue.
Wray did tell the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Thursday that the FBI had seen local election fraud "from time to time" and that the agency takes election threats seriously, which he said includes potential threats through mailed ballots.

Now he is back to insulting the FBI. I think Wray may be at the head of the line for the honor of "locking up" Trump sometime next year.
Excuse me but who was the one who told people to mail in a ballot and then go vote in person? I don't think he realized that he was encouraging voter fraud (because he really is that stupid), but he's going to get his supporters in trouble
Trump is a former Democrat after all. Seems he still wants the "vote early, vote often" part of their mantra.
Boy you right wingers sure love the back stroke when you're drowning, don't you?
Sorry. Mixed.....................
We all know what trumpturd said.
Thanks for the inevitable trumpturdsplanation.
Remain in the dark. It's painfully obvious you don't care about truth.
It's painfully obvious that trumpturd has never told the truth.
One could say the same about you
LMAO it's right there in Snopes FFS
Yes, one could.
I got this from CB
I know what he said and I really don't care. Not only did I "Trumpsplain" this back when he said what he said, but it is backed up by one of the left's favorites............Snopes
Of course you don't care about trumpturd and the truth. trumpturd and the truth are never aligned.
With no respect due to this sniveling Trump brown noser, what the fuck do emails have to do with mail in ballots? This is such a hilariously weak and stupid deflection it's really not even worth a response but because a third of the nation will eat this shit soup up with cupped hands we actually have to refute such a nonsensical defense. It truly is stunning how low these bitter bigots have gone to defend the inept pussy grabber-in-chief.
