Time.news – From the announcement of the victory in Georgia on election night in 2020 at false accuse on the use of the deceased and minors to vote. Donald Trumpwho yesterday was indicted for the fourth time in five months, is accused, among various crimes, of having revived false news to poison the political climate after his defeat in the 2020 presidential elections. In particular, there are three false statements contested to the tycoon by the district attorney’s office of Fulton County, Atlanta, Georgia.
The first dates back to election night: Trump had falsely claimed, “it is clear that we have conquered Georgia”. In reality, at the time of the declaration, the situation was very balanced and it was possible that Joe Biden could overcome it, during the counting of the votes, as then happened. Trump then continued to claim he had won in Georgia even after the count was completed. Biden emerged victorious by 11,779 votes.
In the January 2, 2021 phone call to the Georgia Secretary of State Brad RaffenspergerTrump had applied pressure by ordering the famous “find 11,780 votes”, enough to overturn the verdict at the polls, but the secretary of state, a Republican, had refused to break the law.
In 2021 Trump had falsely claimed that ballots had been placed in the ballot boxes in the name of deceased people, in the phone call to Raffensperger the tycoon had spoken of “at least five thousand cases” while the investigation found that there were only four. The Trump campaign had given some names, but one of the deceased people was actually alive and well, it was just a homonym with a dead person. The then president also said that ballots had been inserted into the ballot boxes in Georgia by underage voters, but no cases were reported.
In the indictment also twelve tweets
In the more than 150 “documents” put in place to try to subvert the verdict of the 2020 presidential election, there are also twelve tweets written by Trump that the Fulton County prosecutor’s office included in the indictment. Trump wrote on Dec. 3, 2020, “Georgia hearings now on @Oann. Interesting.” Ann it is the conservative network that acted as a megaphone to Trump’s allegations of fraud. An hour later the then president was back on Twitter: “Wow explosive testimony right now in Georgia. Ballot boxes filled by Democrats as Republicans were forced out of the counting room. but this already means that we won the state easily”.
Added to the list are three other tweets written by Trump on December 30, 2020, regarding hearings in the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee. In one, the then president attacked the state governor, the Republican Brian Kemp: “He should resign – wrote Trump – he is a stonewaller who refuses to admit that we won Georgia big! We won other swing states too”.
The false accusations of fraud
An hour later the tycoon had invited to connect with the live streaming of the audition. At 6 in the afternoon, after the hearing, Trump had again relaunched the false allegations of fraud. “Now we have a lot more votes than were needed to take Georgia back.” “There has been a gigantic electoral fraud – he added – thank you Georgia for this revealing meeting”.
On December 3, the tycoon had attacked Governor Kemp. “People in Georgia have been caught feeding large numbers of ballots into machines. Great job @BrianKempGA,” Trump wrote. The post was not accompanied by evidence. Three days later the governor himself and his deputy, Geoff Duncanhad published a statement in which they declared it “unconstitutional” for the big voters who came out of the polls to declare themselves in favor of Trump when in reality Joe Biden was the winner.
“What a surprise – the tycoon wrote on Twitter – has someone informed the governor and his deputy puppet that they can easily solve this mess and convene a special session? It’s easy”.
Another tweet, written in early January, referred to the famous phone call with Raffensperger. “I spoke to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger – wrote the then president – about Fulton County and electoral fraud in Georgia”. “He—he added—was unwilling or unable to answer questions about hidden ballots, the destruction of ballot boxes, voters arriving from out of state, dead voters. He doesn’t know what to say.”
Pressure on the Electors
In 98 pages of indictment presented by the Atlanta prosecutor’s office Trump is accused not only of having put pressure on but, in competition with his allies, of having tried to change the Great Electors, so that they proclaimed Trump’s victory in Georgia, and not that of Biden. Technically, the result of the vote in each State does not directly proclaim the candidate the winner, but elects the Electors present on the two lists and who, at a later stage, proclaim the winner.
There is also a tweet in which Trump claims that his deputy, Mike Pence, has the power to reject the electoral result. “The vice president – said the tycoon on Twitter – has the power to reject voters chosen fraudulently”. Then come the tweets of January 6, 2021, the day of the insurrection of Trumpian supporters, which culminated in thesiege on Congress, in Washington DC. “If Vice President Mike Pence sides with us,” he wrote, “we win the presidency. Many states want to nullify results based on vote recount errors and fraud. Mike can ‘send it all back.”
Just after 8 in the morning of January 6, when Trump supporters were already gathering in the Ellipse area, behind the White House, where the tycoon was awaited by a fiery rally, the then president wrote on Twitter: “States want to fix their votes, which are based on irregularities and fraud, plus it’s a corrupt process that has never received the approval of lawmakers.” “All Mike Pence has to do – he had added – is send all the dossier back to the States. And we will win. Do it, Mike, this is the moment of extreme courage”.
