Georgia's Raffensperger among witnesses for next 1/6 hearing
2022-06-22
[AP] Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is set to testify Tuesday at the House Jan. 6 committee about the extraordinary pressure he faced from former President Donald Trump to "find 11,780" votes that could flip the state to prevent Joe Biden’s election victory

Raffensperger, along with his deputy Gabe Sterling and Arizona’s state House Speaker Rusty Bowers, are scheduled to be the key witnesses when the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection resumes on Tuesday.

The focus will be on how the former president and his allies vigorously pressured officials in key battleground states with schemes to reject ballots or entire state tallies to upend the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Additionally, the panel will underscore how Trump knew his unrelenting pressure campaign could potentially cause violence against state and local officials and their families but pursued it anyway, according to a select committee aide.

"We will show courageous state officials who stood up and said they wouldn’t go along with this plan to either call legislatures back into session or decertify the results for Joe Biden," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., one of the Democratic members of the committee, told CNN on Sunday.

#11  Of course Raffensperger had to testify against Trump otherwise they wouldn't have invited him.

#9  The committee will release more evidence about Donald Trump's alleged effort to defraud supporters by fundraising off false claims. WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they may subpoena former Vice President Mike Pence and are waiting to hear from Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Her crime? Talking to John Eastman.

#8  I saw a news report of librals thrilled with themselves for voting in the republican primary to screwing things up. Don't know how common that is but still it's a factor.

#7  He won his primary handily, so maybe it's (some) Georgia GOP voters who are the problem

#6  I have zero trust for Raffensberger. There's still something very wrong with the election process in Georgia.

#4  Bee: Democrats Announce 'January 6 Hearings On Ice'

WASHINGTON, D.C.—As ratings continue to fizzle for the January 6th hearings, Democrats are trying a new format to bring the committee's scandalous findings to a wider audience.

"We are proud, so proud, to announce January 6th On Ice," said Pelosi while attempting to squeeze into a silver leotard. "We invite parents and children of all ages to come witness this delightful spectacle as my colleagues and I dance to delightful musical numbers and spin our narrative as we spin on the ice!"

The show will take place on a rink of frozen tears supplied by AOC herself, and will feature the talents of Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Adam Schiff, as he comically attempts to stay upright under the weight of his large watermelon-shaped head.

Democrats hope the new show will give more Americans a chilling picture of just how evil Trump and his supporters are.

At publishing time, the show had to be put on hold after every member of the committee slipped and broke their hips within the first 5 minutes of the first performance.

#3  DOJ = Democrat Office of Justice.

The Department of Justice as we knew it ceased to exist a long time ago.

This SPOS sat on his A$$ and failed to act, despite a mountain of evidence against Fulton and DeKalb County's.

Hopefully, there will be massive changes in DC and the DOJ / _ _ _ flushed out and Sedition and Felony indictments issued.

#1  .....extraordinary pressure he faced from former President Donald Trump to...

Do his foking JOB!

The fact that Raffensperger has been selected to testify to the Jan 6 committee meaningless monkey trial, is proof of his election debauchery.

His willingness (or eagerness) to testify before the committee convicts him as an active anti-Trump, 2020 election saboteur.
