Title-Breakdown The Trump Grand Jury Ep. 1: The Jan. 2 phone call
****The recording is in the article****
snip-"Episode One explores what happened during the phone call between Trump and Raffensperger as well as another call made to Frances Watson, the secretary of states lead elections investigator. Both conversations were recorded."
snip-"Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was sitting in his kitchen on the afternoon of Jan. 2, 2021, when he received a phone call from the White House.
President Donald Trump, his chief of staff and some of his lawyers were on the line. During the conversation, Trump told Raffensperger to find him 11,780 votes to overturn the election results. That was one more than the 11,779-vote margin that gave Georgias 16 Electoral College votes to President Joe Biden and turned Georgia Democratic for the first time since 1992."
snip-"A special-purpose grand jury has been convened in Fulton County by District Attorney Fani Willis. It will hear testimony in the coming months and ultimately recommend whether Willis should seek criminal charges against Trump and his allies."

(82,849 posts)You can't "prove" the former guy's intent, just because he named the oddly specific number of 11,780 votes he wanted Raffensperger to "find." Like, they were behind the couch or under the dresser? Where was Raffensperger supposed to "find" more than 10,000 votes?
