Emails released last month show that Trump and his allies in the last weeks of his presidency pressured the Justice Department to investigate unsubstantiated claims of widespread 2020 election fraud. 9News

urged senior Justice Department officials to declare the results of the 2020 election "corrupt" in a December phone call, according to handwritten notes from one of the participants in the conversation.

"Just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the R. Congressmen," Trump said at one point to then-Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, according to notes taken by Richard Donoghue, who was then Rosen's deputy and who was also on the call. During the call, according to the notes, Trump complained that people were "angry" and blaming the Justice Department for "inaction"

He claimed the department had failed to respond to legitimate complaints of crime. Unsubstantiated claims of fraud have been repeatedly rejected by judge after judge, including Trump appointees, and by election officials across the country. At one point in the conversation, the notes show, Rosen told Trump that the Justice Department "can't + won't snap its fingers + change the outcome of the election, doesn't work that way."

Rubbish to America, rubbish to the world. Power built on bullying, bullying built on lies!

They are NOT unsubstantiated, in the slightest. NUMBERS never have and NEVER will LIE. fraud freedom victory

If they believed it to be true why not ask for it to be investigated? Nothing story this one

Yet the Biden Administration is trying to derail the audit that is substantiating the claims. What do they have to hide 🤷🏼‍♂️

What is Joe Biden saying?

What happened to investigating Russian election interference? So that no longer matters as long as Trump doesn't win?

Just shows how terrified he was of losing office ,and the executive privilege of protection from litigation, arbitration and ultimately incarceration. Well, bad luck Donny !! Enjoy the ride from here on in !!

DJT living rent free in liberals’ heads

Are we allowed to say in authoritative Orwellian times that investigation of fraud is not a crime?

Bridget McKenzie's comments rejected after saying she'd rather be on welfare in Australia than anywhere elseThe minister responsible for emergency payments, Bridget McKenzie, has been called out over a suggestion that she would rather be on welfare in Australia than anywhere else in the world. Me too, tbh She gets paid by the taxpayer to do nothing. How is that not welfare? Maybe the NBN hasn't been hooked up properly in the Burble yet, but these loafing troglodytes are aware of the googlenets or perhaps ask geeves is more likely?
