Zero Hedge: Watch: Trump Campaign Legal Team Exposes "Massive, Well-Funded Effort" To Destroy American Democracy
Well that escalated quickly.
In a length and detailed press briefing, the Trump campaign legal team detailed allegations and evidence surrounding claims widespread election fraud responsible for stealing hundreds of thousands of votes from Donald Trump.
As Sharyl Attkisson reports, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani alleged the evidence shows Trump was elected in a "landslide." "This is real. It is not made up. There is nobody here that is engaged in fantasies...I can prove to you that he won Pennsylvania by 150,000 votes...The people who did this have committed one of the worst crimes that I've ever seen or heard." - Rudy Giuliani
Among other matters, they discussed sworn affidavits filed in court. During the presser, Giuliani also said there is a pattern in the voting data that suggests “a plan from a centralized place” to commit voter fraud in Democrat-run cities.
Giuliani also said the Trump campaign will likely bring a lawsuit to Arizona.

WNU Editor: The main stream media is not buying these claims .... 'Did you all watch My Cousin Vinny?' Sweating Rudy Giuliani presents 'evidence' for 'massive voting fraud' as hair dye runs down his face - alongside 'elite legal strike force' who claim Joe Biden's win is a Venezuelan plot they uncovered on the internet (Daily Mail). The Biden team are also ridiculing these claims .... Biden team belittles ‘spectacle’ of sweaty Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani pushing vote fraud conspiracy claims (CNBC) . Not surprisingly. The media and the Biden team are not addressing the claims, the evidence that is being presented, nor showing any interest to even investigate what was presented.
As to what is my take.
Here are some of my observations and points on where we are today, and where we are going.
1) The company that is at the center of all of these voter fraud allegations is based in Canada .... Toronto company finds itself at the centre of Trump's unfounded vote fraud allegations (CBC).
Who are these people? Why are they based in Toronto when they are not even involved in Canadian elections? Why do they have so much clout in counting votes in US elections, especially since their senior officials are Democrat supporters? Are reports on how their machines can be hacked and/or manipulated to give different results true? And why the lack of media interest to follow up on these company? I just learned this afternoon that with the exception of Rebel News (see video below) no one in the media (both US and Canada) have even bothered to show and ask some hard questions. So much for reporters and journalists being reporters and journalists.
2) There is still no explanation on why officials decided to suspend counting votes in places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
3) I am hearing more and more horror stories like this one in Georgia .... Georgia Republican Poll Watcher Discovered Recount Error Off By More Than 9,000 Votes For Biden (The Fedralist). But what troubles me even more is that Republican scrutineers are limited to one person for ten tables, and they must view from a distance?!?!?!? I have participated in Canadian elections. In our elections every table must have a scrutineer from all the major political parties.
Update: Why am I am not surprised .... Georgia confirms Biden victory and finds no widespread fraud after statewide audit (CNN).
4) I for one would still like to know how Biden was able to out-vote Trump by 12:1 in mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, and 8:1 in mail-in ballots in Georgia. And no. Just because Trump said mail-in ballots are not secure and Democrats saying everyone should vote by mail would make that much of a difference. People are people. We do what is convenient for us, not what is convenient for out political leaders.
On a side note. In the Canadian province of British Colombia mail-in voting was permitted. The results closely mirrored the results of people voting in person .... B.C. election results: Two ridings flip to NDP as officials start counting 660,000 mail-in ballots (Vancouver Sun). There was no massive difference between those who voted in person, and those who voted by mail. This is what I expect. But a 900,000 vote swing in Pennsylvania, with almost all of these votes coming from Philadelphia and Pittsburg via mail-in ballots. Something is not right.
5) Here is an example on why giving mail-in ballots without restrictions should be avoided. That only those who request a mail-in ballot with a valid reason be able to get one. The main stream media is ignoring this story, but what is happening in New York state has become a disaster .... 'It's embarrassing': Why New York is still waiting for full election results (CNN). Imagine if New York was a swing state?
On a side note. The results of New York's mail-in ballots are closely aligned with those who showed up to vote in person. In some cases. Republican candidates actually gained some votes. So what happened in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia? Why the massive difference between mail-in and people showing up to vote in these states, but not in New York state?
6) For a Presidential incumbent who lost, he had a lot of coat-tails .... Republicans won all 27 House races listed as 'toss-ups' — and then some (Washington Examiner). When was the last time that happened?
7) President Trump's legal efforts are failing.
8) In closing. What was presented today by President Trump's lawyers is going to take a long time to investigate, document, and to litigate. They are not going to change the outcome of this election. But attorneys like Lin Wood and Sidney Powell give me confidence that they if anyone can make a case that there was widespread fraud in this election, it will be them.
As to who will be in the White House in two months?
Joe Biden will be President on Inauguration Day (January 20, 2021).
But if efforts by Lin Wood and Sidney Powell are successful in presenting to the American people their case on election fraud, you can take this to the bank. The cloud that will exist over the Biden Presidency will be 100X worse than the allegations of Trump colluding with the Russians were made during his Presidency.
