LOL. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/us/politics/igor-danchenko-steele-dossier.html I could not get past the NY Times paywall, but an internet search on Igor Danchenko identified him as a source for Steele who was interviewed by the FBI with the promise of anonymity. That promise was effectively broken when AG Barr the declassified the report on the interview. Nowhere did anything say I find anything suggesting the Steele report was written by anyone but Steele. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That promise was effectively broken when AG Barr the declassified the report on the interview. Nowhere did anything say I find anything suggesting the Steele report was written by anyone but Steele. The striking theme in the FBI’s interview notes is that Mr. Danchenko relied on a group of like-minded friends, some drinking buddies, for stunning allegations against Mr. Trump and his associates — all of which eventually proved untrue. There are no firsthand Russian sources. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/26/igor-danchenko-outed-steele-dossier-source/ 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the date: January 31. "The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ban threatens our security, our values and the rule of law. The sweeping rule, barring more than 350 million individuals from predominantly African nations from traveling to the United States, is discrimination disguised as policy,” Pelosi said in a statement. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/480991-pelosi-trumps-expanded-travel-ban-is-outrageous-un-american-and-threatens-rule I sat here in the USA watching the news myself.

Is that all you've got? There are occasional examples of people attempting to cheat in small local elections. However this topic is about the Presidential election. Do you have evidence of cheating on a scale that can influence a national election? Cheating so vast it justifies ending democracy in the US, which you and Trump seem to be advocating.

Never read a Democrat politician not accepting defeat at the 2016 elections, I have read many times trump accusing electoral hoax's in the 2016 elections, even though he won, without any proof whatsoever. The trump admin is using the unproven claims of the impact of voter ID for the purpose of voter disenfranchisement. Research shows that voter fraud is uncommon in American elections. An investigation conducted by Loyola Law School, Los Angeles professor Justin Levitt found 31 credible incidents of voter fraud in over 1 billion ballots cast during general, primary, special, and municipal elections from 2000 through 2014. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/jun/21/facebook-posts/no-only-reason-oppose-voter-id-laws-isnt-because-y/ Edited July 31, 2020 by simple1 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted July 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2020 Trump might has well Tweeted, ‘I’m going to lose the election’, because that’s what his Tweet is about. He has no evidence of voting fraud, he has no power to move the election, he’s facing defeat and he know’s there is at least one Grand Jury examining criminal charges against him. He know’s what’s coming his way. Brace yourself for more lunacy from the cornered narcissist in the White House. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
