So who gave the story and the audio to WaPo? Seems to me it pretty much had to be the folks from Georgia....

Of course, the responses were, are, will be:

Fake News

It was illegal to record the call

It was leaked and we must find and punish the leaker

It wasn't actually I-1... it was a prank

The entire "call" was a fake, pieced together from snippets of other calls and speeches

There were errors in the transcript

You didn't hear what you think you heard

It was just locker room talk

It was a joke and you must be stoopid if you don't see that

I-1 had no idea that what he was asking for was illegal

You cannot prove intent

The call was perfect

Reports are that this was the eighteenth time I-1 tried to call Raffensperger. They kept blowing it off because they knew this was exactly what the call would come to.

Raffersperger said as much during an interview. He said he thought it was not appropriate for the GA officials to be talking to Trump seeing as how they are on opposite sides of lawsuits.

Not sure why they finally decided to take a call; maybe the lawsuits were finally decided and that obstacle was removed.

Of course now Trump has filed in both state and federal courts....again....

Press conference in GA. Those GOP guys involved in the vote are big time pissed. The Voting System Implementation Manager is rebutting Trump's fake claims of election fraud one by one.

He's on fire.

The Republicans in GA are trying to save the Senate for their party. And they're not lying, cheating, or stealing in their efforts to do so.

The guy (he's a lifelong Republican, but his office is not an elected one) is encouraging Georgians to get out and vote and is promising that every valid vote will be counted.

Remarkable. The way it's supposed to work.

Untrue. Fake news. They say they blew it off because they thought it was a prank.

Fox News interviews Raffensperger, includes questions on how many times the Trump team tried to meet with the Raffensperger team and why the Raffensperger waited/decided to meet with the Trump team on Saturday:

Another source, I think it was Politico, said they were calling the wrong number.

The competence of this White House is remarkable.

Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Georgia abruptly resigns.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politic...gns-georgia-75045394

Smell like the beginning of a rerun of the Saturday Night Massacre?


Also, Cleta Mitchell, the lawyer on the phone with I-1 during the phone call abruptly resigned as a partner at the D.C. office of Foley & Lardner.

Yea, and they bypassed the deputy who would normally be the successor, I think.
