"Respectfully, President Trump: What you're saying is not true. The truth will come out".

Then the Washington Post published the article about the phone call.

Sure sounds like Brad Raffensperger finally had enough of Donald Trump and sent the phone call recording to WaPo.

If Trump doesn't call out Raffensperger, maybe the phone call doesn't get published by WaPo.
I think you are on to something here.

Raffensperger addressed that at some point in the call. Paraphrasing - Rudy Guiliani took that tape and sliced and diced it to create a false impression.

He also said that they compared the real-time video to the edited one and determined that nothing untoward happened.

Finally, he explained that all of Trump's allegations were addressed in lengthy meetings with Georgia Senate staff, Georgia House staff, and one of Georgia's U.S. reps.

One would think Trump would be anxious to jump on his private plane with the gold plated bathroom, so he could fly back and get back to work on his "very successful" golf resorts... or just find something else to do with his time.

Mr. Trump obviously isn't very smart if he still thinks he can overturn this election at this point.

I actually do but that's another matter.
There's a huge difference between going through the due process of a recount and coercing a lower level official to commit fraud.

But Trump still insisted that the 'blown up' tape clearly shows.....then what is he waiting for. The vote is on Wednesday -- do it now.

Seriously if there is a problem with the integrity of this election then treat this seriously and expediently -- we keep hearing that any day now we will see the evidence.....

I think you're being sarcastic here but still it's worth noting that the stable genius' golf resorts are hemorrhaging money.

He just can’t resist attacking people, even when a sane person might consider the blowback from doing it.
