clear, that is a lie. it s all lies. but in the absence of anyone else willing to go along with a lie, he gets jeffrey clark at doj. clark wanted to use the legitimaty of the department of justice to disseminate that lie, to stamp it with doj letterhead, give it to georgia s top lawmaker and say maybe you should call a special session and sending your electors. to pressure them to throw out the results of a democratic election and install the loser over the winner. it s the same scheme trump would mention in that phone call to brian kemp. now, of course none of this works. he tries every link in the chain. and with the clock ticking down to the final 48 hours before the electoral votes will be counted on january 6th, with every court in the land having dismissed the allegations of voter fraud as completely baseless, with every single audit that has been undertaken showing the election was free and fair, with
