President Donald Trump has increasingly pressured his administration to find widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite those claims having been debunked and dismissed in dozens of cases by the courts. The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Fulton County, Georgia, over records related to the 2020 election, escalating the Trump administration’s efforts to boost the president’s false claims that his loss to Joe Biden was rigged. Citing a need to investigate “compliance with federal election law,” the lawsuit demands Georgia election officials turn over “all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County.” https://archive.ph/N6ApS After cheering it on, ,I expect all the hardcore MAGA supporters to claim some kind of face-saving victory when this investigation fails.

Glad to learn that you think the Somali community in Minnesota is more tolerant than the Somali community in the UK.

Keep in mind that to a lot of people here in the forum it's obvious that the 2020 election was stolen and that Joe Biden conspired with his son and brother in shady business dealings in Ukraine and elsewhere. Evidence and the lack of it notwithstanding.

Here's a reading assignment for you. It's about something called the cross race effect. Of course if you have spent years living among Somalis, this wouldn't apply to you. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1917773/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19817152/

Do you seriously believeq that the physical resemblance between two people would qualify as evidence in a court?

You've got what it takes to be a prosecutor in the Trump administration. Including having your cases laughed out of court.

Which could it get him into a lot of trouble in the UK?

Are you trying to make your claims look ridiculous? Because if you are, congratulations are in order.

Because it's impossible that he's mistaken? Do you understand that it's possible to state a falsehood and not be lying?

Well, so far the Trump administration hasn't moved to carry out Trump's threat. I suspect it's an empty one. The supreme Court already ruled on this in a case called ex parte Garland

"really moot point until someone, upon receiving such pardon, has to be released from federal prison following a conviction" ????

So healthy! Roads Will Not Be Paved’: GOP Think Tank Says Trump Will Cut Off All Funding to Red State Unless It Passes New Map "The GOP-aligned Heritage Foundation think tank sparked a wave of condemnation on Thursday after it posted a threat from President Donald Trump to defund Indiana if the state doesn’t pass his gerrymander. “President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state,” wrote Heritage Action on X, adding: Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame." https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/roads-not-paved-gop-think-205357093.html

A top FBI official labeled antifa as the top domestic terrorist threat facing the United States, but could not answer basic details about the movement and its structure. Michael Glasheen, a longtime FBI agent serving as operations director of the National Security Branch, called the movement the agency’s “primary concern right now" during a hearing before the House Committee on Homeland Security... But when Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, the ranking chairman of the House Homeland Security committee, asked whether the group is headquartered or how many members it has, Glasheen did not have answers. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjzj8ifx7eRAxWDnK8BHQkCI7AQFnoECBwQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2Fpolitics%2F2025%2F12%2F11%2Ffbi-michael-glasheen-antifa-domestic-threat%2F87723270007%2F&usg=AOvVaw2LTwTCrls73qNFyBF8JaRx&opi=89978449

Sentiments like yours are an accurate reflection of what Trump has said. And it's his words that will probably snag for James a big fat settlement. In that case, she'll be crying all the way to the bank.

Actually there were two grand juries that declined to indict. So that makes it even worse for the government's case

Nor did the third.

Pure speculation What is known is that professional prosecutors refused to pursue the prosecution of James and Comey even if it meant resigning or being fired. What's also known is that presumption of regularity, which is the term that means judges will assume that prosecutors are acting in good faith, is now in jeopardy. Judges are acting as though they no longer trust the justice department to be honest or honorable.

Trump grants 'pardon' to Tina Peters that doesn't free her from prison HINGTON ‒ President Donald Trump issued what amounts to a symbolic "pardon" of Tina Peters, a former Republican county clerk in Colorado imprisoned for letting someone access data from a secure voting system in an effort to prove baseless 2020 election denial conspiracies. Trump announced the "pardon" of Peters in a Dec. 11 post on X. However, Peters ‒ who remains the only Trump ally in prison for crimes related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election ‒ was convicted on state charges. Trump's pardon power as president only extends to federal charges, meaning Peters will remain in prison and her conviction stands. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/12/11/donald-trump-symbolic-pardon-tina-peters-colordo/87724735007/ Funny. On the one hand, Trump issues an imaginary pardon of crimes, but, on the other, he prosecutes imaginary ones.

Later reports indicate that Trump will be targeting the 12 Republican legislator-terrorists who voted against the gerrymander.

Indiana Republicans have withstood immense pressure from President Donald Trump — and ignored threats on their lives — to defeat his plan to redraw the state’s congressional map, dealing him one of his most significant political setbacks since his return to the White House. The GOP-controlled state Senate on Thursday voted down the map that gerrymandered two more safe GOP seats, undercutting the party’s chances at holding control of Congress next November. The failed vote is the culmination of a brass-knuckled four-month pressure campaign from the White House on recalcitrant Indiana Republicans that included private meetings and public shaming from Trump, multiple visits from Vice President JD Vance, whip calls from Speaker Mike Johnson and veiled threats of withheld federal funds. https://archive.ph/haz70 Today will be rembered as a day of double infamy if not to historians at least in the mind of President Donald Trump. Now the question is will he proclaim a national day of mourning or a national day of inchoate rage?

Thanks for leaving its credibility exactly as it was before.

What's this got to do with grand juries failing to return indictments? What's this got to do with prosecutors resigning or being fired rather than pursue indictments. Deflecting much?

Just another highly credible version of I don't like Trump but.

Trump's sense of justice is special. That's why he's pardoned at least 3 grifters and absolved them of the obligation to pay back the victims of their fraud.

I decided to ask AI (chatgpt) if there were any cases of a federal grand jury returning no bill during the Biden administration. It couldn't find any. It found at least 7 so far during the Trump administration.
