The following was posted on the legacy site earlier today. Some of the links are to member only content over there but I still want to cross post it here for more permanent documentation.
This week I was, yet again, reminded of the days when we were frequently treated to near constant anti-intellectual yet nearly universally accepted (among the stoolie-class anyway) rubbish along the lines of “… Others stressed the heroism of GOP officials like … Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, who stood up to Trump at considerable cost. …“. That takes me back to this little nugget from almost exactly three years ago from a post that garnered 55 likes, 147 comments and a 3-week suspension for the posting member (his second strike, as it were):
A Bad Day for Dishonest Narratives
…even worse than yet just another example of “Fake News,” this comes with the added bonus of exposing others that are not good faith operatives:
According to CNN today: Officials located December recording of Trump call in a trash folder on Georgia investigator’s device.
“Officials in the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office located a recently released recording of former President Donald Trump‘s call to a state investigator in a trash folder on her device, a state official familiar with the situation confirmed to CNN.
“The discovery of the call comes after state officials originally told CNN that they did not think audio of the call existed. The call added to the examples of Trump’s extraordinary efforts to push false claims of widespread voter fraud and influence Georgia election officials as they certified the state’s election results.”
Yeah, virtually the entire DNC-MSM screwed the pooch on the story, and a recording wound up in a PC’s recycling folder, but its real takeaway is Orange Man Bad. Keep flucking that chicken, CNN.
Georgia, from the Shadow Governor on down, seems to be one hell of a mess these days.
[Emphasis added]
In the trash folder of an investigators device? One wonders how many copies of the call were out there and subsequently snuffed out by those trying to hide it…oh, and why were they trying to hide it?
Other than it seems to have proved that the narrative to be pushed was complete Uni-Party fiction, an intellectually curious fellow just might ask why such an important part of the evolving history of our times was so quickly (and intentionally?) discarded. As is often the case, answers (and more questions) seem to come from interesting places:
…a bombshell revelation regarding the infamous phone call between Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. … According to a new book published by Michael Isikoff (who was an original pusher of the Russian collusion hoax), that call was illegally recorded by Jordan Fuchs.
Who is Fuchs? She is Raffensperger’s Chief of Staff and has a very checkered history of political activism. Her hatred of Trump can be described as obsessive, and she was in Florida when she recorded the call in question. Why is that a problem? Because Florida is a two-party consent state. …
…according to Isikoff and his co-author, she didn’t have Raffensperger’s permission to record the call either. After the conversation concluded, Fuchs immediately leaked a copy of it to the Washington Post,
[Emphasis added]
First off, I would want to ask what Raffensperger knew and when did he know it. But I fear that would allow for a presumption of good faith that I no longer care to give. Also, it is interesting that the name “Jordan Fuchs” isn’t much more well known. Hmmmmmmm:
To put a finer point on how corrupt this was, Fuchs was supposed to be a star witness for the January 6th committee, but Liz Cheney and others agreed to not call her to publicly testify to shield her from possible legal exposure. Raffensperger himself also played a big role in protecting her because it had become obvious Fuchs had committed a crime.
[Emphasis added]
Yes, I know the “bombshell” here is really all tied up around the ongoing “Fani Willis” storyline. But it is worth noting the late arriving data points about just how selective some of your GOPe operatives are in their “no one is above the law” crusades. Such ignoble pieces of s&!# as Liz Cheney should be tarred and feathered with revelations such as this whenever she dares to show her mug in the public square. Similarly, it appears that this Jordan Fuchs should forever be run out of serious political circles. (Remember the name…God knows the potemkin party that enjoys pretending to be for “the rule of law” is not going to let a proactive loyal operative like this get away. The Barbour clan will not last forever.)
(P.S. I do wonder if this Jordan Fuchs happens to be a direct relative of that well-known used car salesman Roy L. Fuchs. It definitely seems possible. Interesting minds want to know?)
