If he believed it to be true, it is not a false statement.

Of course Democrats never lie in their fundraising. /s The 1st Amendment is dead.

(((Yawn))) Special counsels are a thing of the past. America has a new justice system now. If a political opponent is out to get your ass, the weaponized Feral “judges” are the go to guys they go to to nail your ass.

Every Demonrat in America had fund raising events where they touted the FAKE Russian Collusion conspiracy. ARREST AND PROSECUTE EVERY DEMONRAT IN THE USA for Fraud, Wire Fraud and Money Laundering.

ANY AG’s in Red States picking up this ball and running with it, will help save America.

“he believed it to be true”

Exact-a-mundo

He was all over it saying something was very off in the count for instance, just one point was, how Joe Biden got way more votes than Barak Obama and Trump got way more votes than any second term candidate in history-not to mention how known irregularities were ignored not to mention unconstitutional voting procedures were allowed out the wazoo...

No joke.

Of all the convoluted and ridiculous legal theories this is what they come up with?

The fundraising prong of the investigation is focused on money raised during the period between Nov. 3, 2020, and the end of Trump’s time in office on Jan. 20, 2o21, and prosecutors are said to be interested in whether anyone associated with the fundraising operation violated wire fraud laws, which make it illegal to make false representations over email to swindle people out of money.

*******************

Looks like a stretch, but “creative prosecutions” seem to be the norm with our corrupt & expensive law system.

“Jack off” Smith is quite a piece of work, reminds me of younger Mueller.

Did Jack(ass) Smith actually investigate the possibility of voter fraud or election tampering, or does he automatically assume that 2020 was “the most secure and honest election in history”? I’m confident he chose the latter course.

What they are looking for is a crime that exists only in their minds.

If Trump raised money claiming the 2020 election was fraudulent, then they are saying that is fraudulent .............

Special Counsel investigations are like Honeysuckle Vines.
They twist and turn in every direction and wind up in a tangled mess.......................

That there was election fraud is an undeniable fact, the only debate was if the fraud was of a level to have flipped the election.

Plus if it’s a crime to lie to voters, every politician would be behind bars!
