reports of voting machines switching only are any votes to obama. pay close attention to the machines. don t let your vote be stolen. not true. in 2016, quote, ted cruz didn t win iowa, he stole it. not true. and this after he won the electoral college, hence the presidency in 2016. quote, i won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally. also, not true. president trump started a commission to look for that in 2017. they could find nothing. they disbanded before they could even file a report. in 2020, mail-in ballots which were going to be more prevalent because of the pandemic became a perfect new foil for trump s old claim. voting by mail is wraught with fraud and brabuse and when
behind him would back him and add credence to his fraudulent crimes. where is the d.o.j. in all of this? is the d.o.j. investigating? missing in action. can t tell you where they are. bill barr was investigating. bill barr issued a memo that told prosecutors around the country that they could take steps to look in to fraud a, something that they typically did not do until the votes were certified, it was seen as putting pressure on prosecutors around the country to at least say publically, or have signs that they were investigating voter fraud. bill barr was looking for it and the truth was it was not there and he came to realize it. barr publically contradicted trump s baseless assertions saying quote, to date we have
dan quail who convinced pence he had no kops conconstitutional p throw out the election and steve bannon s role in pushing the plan on a phone call with the president bannon said quote, you ve got to call pence and get him back here today. we re going to bury biden on january 6th, f-ing bury him. pence said he talked to all of the lawyers that he can talk to and he has decided that he can t, he doesn t have the power that the president says he has, and trump turns on him. he says that essentially he s betrayed him and the meeting doesn t end very well between the two men. but that did not stop the president from publicly pressuring the vice president of twitter ahead of the certification. up next. we were on a conference call and i told coven mccarthy when people are convinced that the
republican congressmen to go out there and do the work and put pressure on the states to start audits and again, gives him room to operate between then and january 6th. the whole notion behind it was trump and his supporters saying don t worry about it, we ll make it up. don t pay attention to the facts. don t pay attention to the law. we re just going to make it up and forge ahead. trump continued to press rosen on the call saying quote, this was an illegal corrupt election and according to acting deputy attorney general richard donohue s notes from the conversation, trump told rosen the doj was failing to respond to reports of crime. rosen stood firm on this call saying there is not much the justice department could do. trump also plotted with another justice department official jeffrey clark to oust the acting attorney aggeneral after his refusals to go along
there, those were not suitcases, they were preapproved cases already used all over the state. in philadelphia, trump did better than he had in 2016. better than romney in 2012 or mccain in 2008. he was losing pennsylvania because he did so much worse in the philadelphia suburbs. nonetheless, because trump decided discrediting big cities was going to be one of his false political attacks in philadelphia, trump s lawyers falsely claimed republican observers had been barred from the counting rooms. one of the attorneys for trump asks a judge, judge diamond for an emergency order to stop the counting and they are claiming they had no people in the room. that s what they had been claiming outside the courtroom. but inside the courtroom, this trump lawyer concedes that there were a quote, nonzero number of their own observers in the room.
