Graham, Lee Personally Vetted Trump’s
Election Fraud ‘Evidence’ and
Were Unconvinced

Original Article

Senators Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) and Mike Lee (R., Utah) personally investigated some of former president Trump’s claims of election fraud and concluded they were meritless, according to the book Peril by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. After requesting proof of Trump’s fraud claims, Graham received a collection of memos on January 4 from lawyer Rudy Giuliani entitled “Voting Irregularities, Impossibilities, and Illegalities in the 2020 General Election.” The memos alleged various irregularities in voting in swing states, such as hundreds of dead people voting in Georgia and 12,000 “overvotes” in Arizona, when voters select more than the maximum number of choices on a ballot.

Comments:

Well close the books. Two of the biggest douchenozzles in Congress proclaimed that the claims of election fraud are meritless. As proof, they never looked at any sort of audited evidence or anything at all, except some memos from Rudy. Swamper Scum - the lot of them. The entire Senate needs a power flush.

If you need proof that DC is truly a swamp that infects anyone who spends any time there, just look at Mike Lee. He genuinely started out as a good conservative, but as the swamp fever infected him more and more the longer he has stayed there, the more of a swamp creature he has become. Unlike Graham, who became a swamp creature the day he stepped foot in DC. The only hope to save our republic is term limits for Congress. Two terms -- period. One in the House and one in the Senate, or two in either house. Then you go home. No retirement benefits. No being exempt from the laws that you pass for the peasants. We need a citizen government in this country, not a government of professional politicians!!!

Testimonies of countless people witnessing fraud, video of fraud taking place isn't enough to say, "Wait a minute". They concluded nothing happened before audits started turning up even more evidence of fraud.

Well that satisfies me. If Miss Lindsey and China Mike aren’t convinced. I wonder what they think Ruby and her daughter were doing the night they sent everyone home because of the plumbing leak? I guess stuffing ballots through the counting machines stopped the flood (of Trump ballots).

Has anyone ever heard or read of a "plausible" democrat explanation for that video we all saw of people pulling suitcases out from under tables after telling poll watchers and the press to go home (because of the phony leak)? I never have. Then again, I don't tend to visit left wing web sites or watch leftie cable news. You might find it surprising, but there are still some conservatives who never watched that video or even heard of it.

I'm pretty well convinced that significant vote fraud took place in 2020. Was it enough to sway the election? Maybe, maybe not. Let's face it -- Trump won on a razor's edge in 2016 by 70,000 votes in Penna., WIs., and Mich. He wasn't playing with a lot of slack on this rope. There are some very disturbing "coincidences" that took place during the election period, especially on the evening when votes were counted. Okay, you can tell me one place had to shut down counting votes for some reason late on election night. But in six or seven states, all states that were close races to start with? Sometimes, it's hard for me to believe that it's raining when you're tinkling on my show. And I suspect (and it may be difficult to absolutely prove) that there is some tinkling going on here.

Let's not forget... even with all the massive voter fraud for Biden and voter suppression for Trump, he still got over 11 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016... if my understanding of presidential voter statistics are correct, there is no way he could have lost this election. Obama got less votes the 2nd time around and still won... think of that... over 11 million more votes nationwide and we are supposed to believe that Trump lost this election - I ain't buyin' what the fake news demands to be sold.

I believe that there was sufficient dirty dealing in the election constitute massive fraud but we never saw the absolute actionable evidence. The battleground state audits, we were promised, would be presenting Earth-shattering evidence and we're still waiting for it to be revealed. The president's political/legal team wasn't prepared to stop the fraud they knew was coming and after the fact, most of the team fizzled. Kind of like how the president's transition team failed to identify and urge removal of near countless Obama holdovers, who wound up playing prominent roles in his administration but prominent not in a good way, like the two Obama generals who set up an opposition shop within Trump's cabinet. As a Washington outsider, Trump needed trustworthy insiders but they were merely Deep State insiders, the type not trusted by their own mothers. Hopefully, if there is a presidential term II, he'll not fall into the same traps and snares of term I but will latch onto the jawbone of an ass and start smiting.

There may be no hard evidence of voting machines being manipulated or bogus votes being manufactured, although at the stage these two senators opinion was sought there couldn't have been hard evidence. To collect evidence there had to be court rulings and all courts punted. Some states have, supposedly, been doing the investigation since then and I hope that Graham and Lee will then have egg on their faces. What didn't need investigation was the hard fact that Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia conducted the 2020 election outside the U.S. Constitution. There were other states that also did so but they weren't swing states. The Democrats, as soon as Covid hit, rigged as many rules throughout the country to ensure that Biden "won." Republicans in Washington and in the states let the rigging happen. Shame on Senators Lee and Graham for not shouting that fact then and now.

We know Dems created the preposterous Russia Hoax in an effort to convince American voters Donald Trump was a Russian asset. They tried to cheat their way into the White House, but they didn't cheat enough to win in 2016. Why should anyone doubt their willingness to rig the 2020 election with more "hands on" cheating to get the result they wanted? What part of "By any means necessary" is unclear?

Why is it so hard for some L.dotters to accept that someone might have a different opinion? Good grief! You’re acting MSNBC pundits, automatically vilifying anyone who doesn’t rubber stamp your opinion. These two senators carried a lot of water for President Trump. Don’t you think they would have preferred to see convincing evidence of sufficient voter fraud to overturn the election? Yet they didn’t. That doesn’t make them swamp creatures or traitors. They just didn’t see what you thought they should see.

The so-called “red flag” provision would also exempt military courts from denying members their Fifth Amendment right to due process, according to Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who discussed the issue with trial attorney, author, and retired Army Col.

A Democratic bill legalizing abortion on demand nationwide includes provisions for "every person capable of becoming pregnant," including "transgender men." The House on Friday passed the Women’s Health Protection Act along near party lines, in an effort to codify Roe v.

The bill notes that "transgender men, non-binary individuals, those who identify with a different gender … are unjustly harmed by restrictions on abortion services."

A study released this month found that the rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths in rural areas have far surpassed those being observed in metropolitan communities, with rural mortality rates more than double that of urban ones. The study from the Rural Policy Research Institute's (RUPRI) Center for Rural Health Policy found that as the summer ended, the coronavirus infection and mortality rates of rural and urban communities began to diverge. RUPRI noted in its study that the initial surges of COVID-19 cases at the start of the pandemic were largely concentrated in urban areas. Subsequent surges saw increases in both urban and rural parts of the U.S.
