Significant, this evidence linking members of trumps legal team, to the breach of a Voting System there. Jessica, these Text Messages add to a growing body of evidence that links Donald Trumps legal team to this Voting System breach here in georgia that happened on january 7th, 2021. More specifically, it links them to this effort to secure written invitation from a local election official there, essentially allowing them, in their minds, to speenter the Election Office and no election official is allowed to let anyone have access to Voting Systems. But trumps team and lawyers were trying to convince this election official to provide a letter of invitation. And these Text Messages show us how they were involved in the planning, and how down from Rudy Giuliani to sidney powell, how they were kept in the loop on the state level as they worked to secure this Written Letter of invitation, and ultimately access to the Voting System there is in coffee county.

Those efforts by donald trump and his lawyers to subvert democracy has, in a small part, led the american varshini to create a task force for American Democ
Fascist dictatorship, and so bill barr, after, ive got to say, humiliating himself for several years, bill barr decides, this is where i get off. This is enough. This is my line. I believe in an imperial presidency, but i dont believe in a fascist presidency. Thats what donald trump was asking him to do. Asking him to steal an election. Asking him to arrest his political opponents. Asking him to do the sort of things, again, that fascist dictators do. He wouldnt do it. Now, trump has turned on him. As far as fani willis goes and jack smith and everything else, again, we can point you back to it and play it for you again, what we were saying in 2019. If donald trump lost in 2020, he would run again, and hed run again simply to avoid all the crimes he was committing. Im not good at math, but that was four years ago. Four years ago, we were saying he will run again so he can try to avoid jail. Going to jail. Here we are. I must say, a lot of people were saying that, so its hard to believe
