Trump cancels news conference to release report on 2020 election
Reuters ^ | August 17, 2023 | Eric Beech and Dan Whitcomb

Posted on 08/18/2023 8:36:08 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had canceled a press conference scheduled for next week to release a report into the 2020 election in Georgia, saying his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.

Trump said earlier this week that he would hold the press conference on Monday to release a detailed, 100-page report into what he described as "election fraud" in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

I’m not sure about that, I think he really believes what he’s peddling but his better judgment is completely gone, I feel for him and realizes his company is slipping away and backs off.

The stuff he comes out with is crazy and hurts legitimate efforts to clean up the election fraud

I had laugh about his $20 gift offer for registering for the recent seminar where “the plan” to save the election system would be revealed.

The gift was a free copy of his book

And you are wrong.

He’s allowing his lawyers to do their job

Now go away

You assume he didn’t consult with his team and then their advice developed appropriately. Most NeverTrumps fail to understand things fully.

I like president Trump but sometimes I really worry about the decisions he makes and the things he says.

I fear these self inflicted wounds are killin’ him. 😏

As has been noted, the fraud occurred by having no restrictions on addresses that could receive a ballot. There was no address verify.

IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SOFTWARE. THAT WAS A RED HERRING PROBABLY MANUFACTURED BY THE LEFT.

It was purely getting enormous numbers of ballots mailed out to falsified locations, having activists fill them out in automated fashion and then deposit them. It takes only 1000 bogus addresses per blue district and 10 ballots sent to that address and you have 100K votes possible.

HOWEVER. Polling pre election was close. There was no enormous blowout for either candidate other than running up the score in California.

Note, the national popular vote edge was 7 million votes. 5 of those were in California. And 2 in NY. And 1 in Illinois — offsetting big Trump states. The point being, the popular vote edge is very narrow.

The concentration of fraud was not national. No need to risk national exposure. It was only needed with virus induced VBM concentrated in the swing states.

With planted stories about software and vote counting in the facilities, it was easy to conceal what was done by the Trump hating zealots. Trump’s evidence is at risk of being tainted by the software wackos.

So just like every other Trump supporter on FR you feel compelled to insult anyone that doesn’t agree with your opinion instead of discussing the subject with some civility....got it. 👌

Stop guessing! Learn the truth. A little research will not hurt your brain. You will be very surprised.

The fraud happened literally in front of our eyes.

*********

Not disagreeing with your statement. But keep in
mind that 2020 was an abnormal year with regards
to voting procedure.

Covid lock down, causing a lot of mail in voting
that doesn’t normally occur. People sitting around
home, mail ballot comes in, fill it out and mail it
back to be counted.

They opened up a closed Mall area where we are and
allowed voters to come in from a determine mile
radius and different counties. They had tables for
each various location. You went to your county area
and checked in and got a ballot for your precinct.
Make your choices and dropped into a locked box for
your voting location.

I personally think internet voting will become the
process as we move forward into the future. Vote
from home using your internet device. Sorta like
auto bill paying via deduction from your account to
your collectors account.

Why would anyone discuss something with someone who is being led around by the nose by the media?

The challenge to Trump in the Fulton County indictments is that it's the more Trump talks about how he was cheated, the more it appears that he's justifying the cheating back which the indictments allege - and two wrongs don't make a (legal) right.

Very different from DC, where most of the actions Trump took are not unlawful unless Trump knew and believed he lost the election. Trump's belief that he was being cheated is a good defense to those allegations, for the most part.

There's a good chance the DC charges fail or a conviction is reversed on appeal, and ditto Georgia (particularly on appeal). Trump's biggest criminal jeopardy remains the New York and Florida indictments. Nothing he's putting out seems likely to diverting a Manhattan jury from convicting him. He'll have a better jury pool in Florida but once again, he seems to have no functional defenses and the superseding indictment counts around obstruction are hard to handle, particularly if his co-defendants flip as at least one doubtless will.

Excuse me, but I’m not a Qtard. I don’t have a secret decoder ring. I don’t trust the plan. Especially since he changes the plan day by day.

Anyway, would you care to explain what the what you just encoded to me? Thanks.

You never Trumpers are hilariously stoopid.

Trump never intended to produce anything on Monday. He knew full well beforehand it would be reserved for the trial.

In making his announcement last week, he enjoyed several days of people talking about it, about what he may have.

With this announcement, he’ll get even more mileage out of people discussing election fraud claims.

You morons are such simps...

“We never had it so good as we did when Trump was POTUS”

His appointments of Wray, Allen, Bolton, Barr, Tillerson, Sessions, Kavanaugh, Mattis, Spencer, McMaster, Scaramucci, Gen. Milley, Barrett and others made your life great? In what ways?

We will be dealing with the repercussions from these appointments for years to come.
