A year later, Georgia election official views controversial Trump call as 'just a conversation'

fucking fucker is still fucking lying his fucking ass off

GA anons spread the word, he will never be re-elected!

Twitter Anons, post the lies he said below or make it trend ==#NeverRaffenspergerAgain

Brad Raffensperger pointedly declined to say anything illegal occurred in call or that he was threatened to take any specific action.

A year later, a now-infamous call between President Trump and his advisers with Georgia election regulators is still generating attention, with even a local prosecutor and the Jan. 6 commission in Congress inquiring whether the call violated any laws.

But the man on the receiving end of the call — Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger —says looking back he views the call as "just a conversation" in which he conveyed to the 45th president that allegations about election irregularities in Georgia simply were not supported by the facts.

In an interview with Just the News, Raffensperger pointedly declined to say anything threatening or illegal happened on the call, though he previously has claimed in a book he took the call as a threat.

"Well, it's pretty obvious what the president wanted," Raffensperger said during an interview aired Tuesday on the John Solomon Reports podcast. "We all want to win. I get that."

Recounting many of the allegations Trump and his allies mentioned on the call — from thousands of dead or underage voters to illegal ballots mysteriously appearing in the Atlanta voting center — Raffensperger said every claim was evaluated and probed by his office, the FBI or the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and none could be corroborated, with many being outright debunked…. more

The allegations came from a conservative voter integrity group called True the Vote and include video footage of people stuffing ballots into drop boxes, smartphone geospatial data showing possible ballot couriers near the drop boxes and statements from one man who told the group he participated in the illegal ballot-gathering scheme along with others and nonprofit groups, according to the group's complaint.

Raffensperger's office is particularly interested in the potential witness, identified in the complaint as John Doe, and has launched a full investigation.

"If people give us, you know, credible allegations, we want to make sure that we do that," Raffensperger told Just the News. "And we have that right now as an ongoing investigation."

In a recently published book,Raffensperger claimed he felt threatened by the call. "I felt then — and still believe today — that this was a threat," he wrote. "Others obviously thought so, too, because some of Trump's more radical followers have responded as if it was their duty to carry out this threat."

But in Tuesday's interview, he pointedly declined to say he was threatened to take any action or that anything illegal happened, dismissing the call as "just a conversation."

"Do you think there was something illegal or threatening to you personally, that violated the law?" Raffensperger was asked Tuesday.

"I'm an engineer and not a lawyer, so I don't know about that aspect," he answered. "But I just think we had a conversation and obviously I just respectfully wanted to let President Trump know there wasn't the votes there. I know they didn't like the facts, but those were the facts.

"As a Republican I wish President Trump would have won," he added. "But our job was to follow the law, follow the Constitution."

Pelosi, Schumer tap 'informal adviser' to Biden to 'establish and preserve' Jan. 6 narrative

Archive Propaganda

January 6, 2022 - 1:50pm

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer participated in an event on Thursday to "establish and preserve" the narrative of the Jan. 6 riot, which featured a historian who has personal and professional connections to President Biden.

Historian Jon Meacham helped write some of President Biden's speeches during the 2020 campaign as well as his inaugural address.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer participated in an event on Thursday to "establish and preserve" the narrative of the Jan. 6 riot, which featured a historian who has personal and professional connections to President Biden.

Historian Jon Meacham, who publicly endorsed Biden in the 2020 election, helped write some of Biden's campaign speeches as well as his inaugural address.

Meacham also delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2020.

The Guardian described Meacham as "an occasional informal adviser to the U.S. president and contributor to some of his major speeches including the inaugural address."

Axios referred to him as Biden's "historical muse."

Meacham was reportedly an MSNBC on-air contributor until his involvement in the Biden campaign was publicly revealed in the press.

In May 2021, Meacham described Biden as "an upside down iceberg.”

“You see most of it and that’s not spin: there’s just not a lot of mystery to Joe Biden. The last four or five minutes of his press conference in the East Room [on 25 March] when he talked about democracy and autocracy, that was pretty much it," Meacham said.

Meacham recently praised first lady Jill Biden, saying the president is "incredibly lucky" to have her as a partner in the White House.

During the event, Pelosi thanked Meacham for "informally advising" Biden.

Director/actor Lin Manuel Miranda and singers from the musical "Hamilton" performed via video at the event with Pelosi, Schumer and Meacham. Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden moderated a conversation with Meacham at the event after Pelosi and Schumer's remarks.

More than 4,700 schools close this week despite Biden administration's plea to stay open

No one listens to Mr. Potato head…kek

"We want schools to be open, the President wants them to be open, and we’re going to continue to use every resource and work to ensure that’s the case," Psaki said.

January 5, 2022 - 11:19pm

At least 4,738 public schools across the nation have had in-person classes disrupted this week due to COVID-19 concerns while the Biden administration calls on schools to remain open.

"As the President said yesterday, he wants schools to be open," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during a briefing Wednesday. "We know they can be open safely, and we’re here to help make that happen. And he agrees with medical, scientific, and education experts that, because of the historic work we’ve done, we are more than equipped to ensure schools are open."

Psaki said that 96% of schools are open. Chicago Public Schools, one of the nation's largest districts, made headlines Wednesday after the teachers union voted to return to online learning.

"So, long story short: We want schools to be open, the President wants them to be open, and we’re going to continue to use every resource and work to ensure that’s the case," Psaki said.

A record number of more than 1 million new COVID cases were reported Monday in the United States. The peak is expected to come by the end of January, largely driven by the omicron variant.

The number of school closures is up from Tuesday when 3,229 K-12 public schools were disrupted, according to Burbio.

The White House has reportedly distributed $130 billion in funding to school districts for COVID "mitigation measures."

The Biden administration is also encouraging children to be vaccinated against COVID and instituted a test-to-stay policy to keep kids in schools. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday expanded Pfizer booster vaccine eligibility to children ages 12 to 15.

Uber charged motorist stranded on I-95 in the snow storm $700 for his ride

The ride share company returned the money charged to the customer's account and thanked him for his patience.

A man attempting to get home from a trip to California was charged a whopping $700 for an Uber trip during which he and the rideshare driver got caught in the 48-mile backup on Interstate 95 that occurred earlier this week.

Andrew Peters had decided to "Uber" the 127 miles from Dulles International Airport, in northern Virginia, to his home in Richmond, Virginia – a $200 trip. But he and the driver almost immediately got stuck.

"We hopped on the first exit and then it was just, we stopped moving right there," Peters told a local NBC-TV station in Washington, D.C. "There were cars behind us. There was nowhere to go. It was like being in some weird parking lot."

After spending 14 hours total on the trip, Peters made it to his destination and tipped his driver $100. Later, though, the rideshare service added an unexpected $400 surcharge, which brought the trip total to $701.47. Peters' flight from San Francisco to Dulles cost just $300, for context.

"It ticked me off because I had no way of knowing that I would be stuck in this traffic jam for that long, and I don’t feel like that’s fair because they have the directions. I have no say in which way the Uber goes," he said.

Ultimately, Uber returned the money to Peters and thanked him for his patience.

"We’re glad that he and the driver got home safely," said the company.

Peters confirmed that in 2022 he has resolved to be more thoughtful about calling a rideshare in the snow.

Mike Lindell Sues 1/6 Panel Over Subpoena, Argues 'Scriptural Basis' For 2020 Fraud Claims

By Aila Slisco On 1/5/22 at 9:24 PM EST

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has argued that his false claims of massive fraud in the 2020 election have a "scriptural basis" while suing the House Select Committee on January 6 over a subpoena of his phone records.

The conservative pillow magnate revealed the existence of what he called a "corrupt" subpoena from the committee in a text message to CNBC on Wednesday, while insisting that his legal team had taken action to "completely invalidate" the subpoena.

"I wasn't there on January 6th and yes they did subpoena my phone records but we filed a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief against the January 6th committee and Verizon to completely invalidate this corrupt subpoena," Lindell told the outlet.

In a legal complaint filed on the same day against the committee, its individual members and Verizon, lawyers for Lindell—a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump's false claims of massive voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election—argue that he is the victim of religious discrimination.

The suit contends that Lindell's promotion of the false fraud claims were "are motivated, in part, by his strongly held religious beliefs," noting that Lindell has said there is an unspecified "scriptural basis for" the claims.

"Mr. Lindell's activities are widely known," the suit states. "His speeches and publications regularly articulate his religious belief and the scriptural basis for it. He regularly associates with others holding similar religious beliefs to organize 2020 election integrity activities."

Those "whose identity and association" with Lindell are not "publicly known" may "wish to have such contacts remain confidential," according to the suit. As a result, exposing the identities of like-minded religious confidantes who support his "efforts to raise awareness of alleged irregularities" would be a violation of Lindell's religious freedom.

"Compelling disclosure of Mr. Lindell's religious and political activities and associations is a violation of his First Amendment Freedom of Association rights, Free Exercise of Religion rights, as well as Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press, and Freedom of Assembly rights," the document states.

"Enforcement of the Subpoena would violate the rights of Mr. Lindell and of his sources to freedom of religion, speech, press, political expression, and to associate with others to advance their shared beliefs," it continues. "These rights are guaranteed by the First Amendment."
