Trump Is Now Accusing William Barr Of Rigging The Election For Biden
https://www.politicususa.com/2021/10/27/trump-is-now-accusing-william-barr-of-rigging-the-election-for-biden.html
"SNIP......
In a letter to the editor that could only be described as deranged, Trump wrote to The Wall Street Journal that Barr rigged the election for Biden.
Trump wrote in The Wall Street Journal a list of conspiracies in Pennsylvania that caused him to lose the state:
Numerous reports and sworn affidavits attested to poll watcher intimidation and harassment, many by brute force.
Attorney General Bill Barr ordered U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain to stand down and not investigate election irregularities.

(19,148 posts)"someone" keeps expanding the list of those who sabotaged his losing campaign, to include the very people who enabled his lawless escapades to begin with?
He's down to his family members now, and I imagine they'll be next.

(10,119 posts)and defaming a public figure, Barr, with malice there ?
If any lawyer knew how to depose Trump and expose a whole lotta of illegal crap with Trump, Barr would have to be near or at the top of the list.
The only way to avoid it would be if Trump has dirt on Barr.
This could get kind of interesting.
I strongly suspect Trump is a like a cat toy. The GOP are letting him do his thing to distract the media while they rig the election and run with Gov moRon DeSatan or someone like that.

Jarqui
(10,119 posts)one can demonstrate malice - ill will or a reckless disregard for the truth (stated loosely).
On the latter, Trump lied or gave misleading statements about 38,000 times in the Oval Office. Is there anyone in history with a more reckless disregard for the truth?
I agree that it is not an easy thing to prove generally which is why few try but in this circumstance, Trump is on a slippery steep slope when it comes to anything but a reckless disregard for the truth. It follows in the wake of so many other big lies about the election that got flushed out in about 60 court cases that Trump lost.
I'm not guaranteeing anything but I think a half assed lawyer could make a pretty good contest of this and do the thing Trump would have to fear: being put on the stand to testify in a deposition - particularly when the scrutiny on Jan 6th is going on. Barr's statement of claim could be devastating.

(51,436 posts)n your editorial The Election for Pennsylvanias High Court (Oct. 25), you state the fact that a court wrongly said mail-in ballots could be counted after Election Day. This didnt matter, you add, because Mr. Biden won the state by 80,555, but the country is lucky the election wasnt closer. If the election had hung on a few thousand Pennsylvanians, the next President might have been picked by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Well actually, the election was rigged, which you, unfortunately, still havent figured out. Here are just a few examples of how determinative the voter fraud in Pennsylvania was:
71,893 mail-in ballots were returned after Nov. 3, 2020, at 8 p.m., according to Audit the Vote PA. None of these should have been counted according to the U.S. Constitution and the state Legislature, which didnt approve this change.
10,515 mail-in votes from people who do not exist on the Pennsylvania voter rolls at all.
120,000 excess voters are not yet accounted for by the Pennsylvania Department of Statefar more votes than voters!
From 2016 to 2020, during my term as president, Republicans out-registered Democrats 21 to 1. This translated to a 659,145-vote lead at 12:38 a.m. on election night, with Trump up a full 15 points.
Hundreds of thousands of votes were unlawfully counted in secret, in defiance of a court order, while Republican poll watchers were thrown out of buildings where voting took place.
39,771 people who registered to vote after the Oct. 19, 2020, deadline, still voted in the 2020 electionsimply not allowed.
Highly respected Audit the Vote PA found numerous data integrity problems the Pennsylvania Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system, including:
305,874 voters were removed from the rolls after the election on Nov. 3rd.
51,792 voters with inactive voter registrations at the end of October 2020 nevertheless voted.
57,000 duplicate registrations.
55,823 voters who were backfilled into the SURE system.
58,261 first-time voters 70 years and older.
39,911 people who were added to voter rolls while under 17 years of age.
17,000 mail-in ballots sent to addresses outside of Pennsylvania.
Another analysis of Montgomery County, Pa., found 98% of the eligible voting population in the county was already registered to votenot possible.
A canvass of Montgomery County has identified 78,000 phantom voters, with roughly 30% of respondents unaware that there are people registered and voting from their address.
One nursing home in Lancaster County had 690 registrations and an extremely high turnout rate of 85% in 2020, while nursing homes were closed due to Covid. One of these residents said she had not voted in the past 3 years, but had a mail-in ballot cast in her name.
25,000 ballots were requested from nursing homes at the exact same time.
Numerous reports and sworn affidavits attested to poll watcher intimidation and harassment, many by brute force.
Attorney General Bill Barr ordered U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain to stand down and not investigate election irregularities.
Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook poured over $17 million to interfere in the Pennsylvania election, including $5.5 million on ballot processing equipment in Philadelphia and $552,000 for drop boxes where the voting pattern was not possible.
And so much more! This is why Democrats and the Fake News Media do not want a full forensic audit in Pennsylvania. In reality, 80,555 ballots are nothing when there is this much corruption or voter irregularities.

The one committing voter fraud is already well known, and is the author of this stupid letter, djt. The powers that be need to nail his a&& for encouraging voter fraud by claiming these fake facts that somehow are voter fraud.

(70,442 posts)Btw if a ballot is post marked before or on election day
it has to be counted as a legal ballot. And all returned mail in ballots
have bar codes that MUST MATCH the registered registered voter's ID #.
