Trump begs Georgia secretary of state to overturn election results in Phone call

[blackascoal]

IMAGINE if Biden said to "find" votes....

The difference is that republicans would never let Biden get away with it, democrats don’t have the balls to do it.

That’s ampng the most incredible things I’ve ever heard. Absolutely that’s a felony, but guaranteed it won’t be prosecuted.

Cry harder.

Anyone attempting to defend impeached trump for asking, suggesting, or even considering a state secretary "find votes" is a joke.

If I was "attempting to defend Trump", you'd have a point.

Since I didn't, you don't.

Your posts prove that you live by your credo.

Think so? Cite the relevant statute.

So, you'd be okay with Obama and Hillary doing the same thing four years ago?

Trump passes Nixon up again. We have never had a worse and more despicable man in office. Trump is such an embarrassment.

 

[BartenderElite]

Time for Republicans to step up.

This is a complete embarrassment. If the GOP cares about its future, they need to take a stand here. This is pure corruption.

I just listened to the tape, how desperate is Trump? Pitiful. Poor Trumppers.

You'll say the same thing about the next GOP POTUS (if there is one), won't you?

 

[BartenderElite]

I don't want to hear any more "massive fraud" from the right.

The ONLY evidence we have of any kind of fraud ALL comes from Republicans.

Is that so?

[h=1]How did the WaPo get a recording of the conversation between Trump and Raffensperger?[/h]Easy answer—Georgia law. In Georgia, you must assume that any phone conversation you have is being recorded by the person to whom you are speaking. A third party can not legally record a conversation between two people who are unaware that they are being recorded, but the actual parties to the conversation have every right to record (and subsequently publish) their own conversations (with or without the permission of the person to whom they are speaking).

In this case, it is almost certain that Raffensberger recorded the conversation (without Trump’s permission) and then published it via The Washington Post. This is entirely legal under Georgia law, and, while I expect that Trump’s knickers are in a twist about it, there’s nothing that he can do.

Note that the laws on recording phone conversations vary widely by state.

Go for it.

I'll understand if you can't, of course.

Loser.

Here’s a little lesson for you, idiot.

I don’t have the power to impeach.

Stupid fuck.

Nor does the House at this late stage, DEMOCRAT.

Anything presented in court still needs to comply with the Rules of Evidence, and in many cases recorded conversations will not make the cut. The hearsay rule says that out of court statements cannot be used to prove the truth of a matter being asserted.

Have another drink.
