LIBERAL MEDIA REPORTS PROVE TRUMP LEGAL TEAM IS TELLING THE TRUTH RE: GEORGIA’S #SuitcaseGate
Election night media reports corroborate Team Trump’s argument that ballot counters and others were told by election officials to leave at 10:30 p.m. on election night in Fulton County, Georgia. Observers and reporters believed the ballot counting was done for the day and left. This allowed Democrat operatives to bring suitcases filled with ballots and scanned them without proper supervision at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.

NEW: The election department sent the ballot counters at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta home at 10:30 p.m., Regina Waller, the Fulton County public affairs manager for elections, tells ABC News
In Georgia, where rules allowed for pre-processing, major counties nevertheless reported backups and sent workers home rather than finish counting overnight.
By 10:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, Fulton — which is the state’s largest county and includes Atlanta — had counted all in-person votes and stopped counting mail-in ballots for the evening. Officials there plan to resume counting the absentee ballots Wednesday morning at 8, Fulton County spokeswoman Jessica Corbitt told CNN late Tuesday.
Later in the night, Regina Waller, the Fulton County public affairs manager for elections, told ABC News that the election department sent the State Farm Arena absentee ballot counters home at 10:30 p.m. despite earlier intentions to complete processing Tuesday night. Some additional numbers could still come out Tuesday night, but as of now the staff will be back at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
MORE “LOVE” FROM THE LEFT
This time the “love” came from new Muslim Democrat congresswoman Rashida Tlaib who called yesterday for the impeachment of Trump by saying: “We’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the mother***er.’”
Freshman Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is not apologizing for profane comments she made Thursday about impeaching President Donald Trump.
Tlaib, who was sworn in as Michigan’s representative from the 13th Congressional District on Thursday, was speaking at an event for progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org when she relayed a conversation with her son to the crowd: “And when your son looks at you and says, ‘Momma, look you won, bullies don’t win,’ and I said, ‘Baby they don’t,’ because we’re gonna go in and impeach the motherf—–.”
Tlaib, D-Detroit, was sworn in with the rest of her class, taking a spot formerly held by Rep. John Conyers, but at her ceremonial swearing-in, she decided against using Thomas Jefferson’s copy of the Koran
“I’m going to use my own,” said Tlaib, who becomes the first Palestinian-American woman and one of the first two Muslim women, along with Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar, to be sworn into Congress. She spoke just before heading into the ceremonial swearing-in with new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The Free Press had earlier reported on Tlaib considering using the Jefferson text, a 1734 translation of the Koran into English that resides in the Library of Congress. But Tlaib said her earlier decision was never meant to be final and that she changed her mind some time ago.
“Why uplift someone else?” she said. “It’s starting a new era in social justice. … It just occurred to me: Why am I not using my own?”
For the record, Tlaib did wear a traditional Palestinian thobe, or dress, which her mother — who was there for the swearing-in — made for her, as she was sworn in.
During her campaign, Tlaib — a member of the Democratic Socialists of America — embraced progressive ideas like Medicare-for-all, a $15 dollar minimum wage and debt-free college as well as calls to abolish ICE and impeach the President. Just last month, she tweeted, “Can we please start the impeachment process now?”
When the new Congress gets underway, Tlaib will have a high-profile platform on Capitol Hill to confront the President and try to shape the agenda of the new House Democratic majority. The question now is what will she do when she gets to Washington?
Tlaib has broken barriers and glass ceilings before
The 42-year old has had “first” status before. She is the first of 14 children born to Palestinian immigrant parents and the first in her family to graduate from high school as well as college. She was also the first Muslim woman to serve in the Michigan state legislature.
“When I won it was just a moment of light in this time that was pretty dark for a lot of us,” Tlaib said, reflecting on her election to Congress.
NOTES TO PONDER:
– How many white Americans/Christians are being elected in Muslim countries?
– Why the Left worries so much in breaking the record (“the first in U.S. history”) and not in doing what is right (i.e., keeping America free and prosper)?
DID COMEY LURE FLYNN INTO A PERJURY TRAP?
Video shows ex-FBI Director Comey explaining how he:
* Kept Flynn unrepresented by legal counsel and unaware of the true nature of the meeting
* Violated protocols and policies which are always in place regardless if the administration is new or not.
* Took advantage of fledgling Trump Administration
REPORT: Ex-FBI Director Comey Explains How He Took Advantage of Fledgling Trump Administration: “Former FBI Director James Comey, speaking to an appreciative audience in New York on Sunday [12/9/2018], told NBC’s Nicole Wallace that he sent two FBI agents to visit then-National Security Adviser Mike Flynn at the White House on January 24, 2017, because he figured he could get away with it,” reported CNS News.
VIDEO & NOTES TO PONDER:
* Comey proudly stated he broke the rules…because he could:
FROM VIDEO ABOVE:
WALLACE: “You look at this White House now, and it’s hard to imagine two FBI agents ending up in the State room. How did that happen?”
COMEY: “I sent them.” [Audience celebrated.]
COMEY: “Something we’ve — I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation — a more organized administration.
* Did Flynn think the FBI agents were there as colleagues/co-workers and not as investigators (where he was the target), and thus, Flynn wasn’t exact in his recollection of his phone conversations weeks prior?
On the video, Comey acknowledged they didn’t tell Flynn the reason for the FBI visit:
FROM VIDEO ABOVE:
WALLACE: “What did he [Flynn] think they were coming over there for?”
COMEY: “I don’t think he knew. I know we didn’t tell him.”
* They wanted Flynn unguarded, so they made him think this was a normal chat between pals:
FROM VIDEO ABOVE:
COMEY: “And I thought, it’s early enough, let’s just send a couple of guys over.”
“And so we placed a call to Flynn, said, hey, we’re sending a couple of guys over. Hope you’ll talk to them. He said, sure. Nobody else was there. They interviewed him in a conference room at the White House Situation Room, and he lied to them. And that’s what he’s now pled guilty to.”
Before the interview, McCabe, [redacted] and others decided the agents would not warn Flynn that it was a crime to lie during an FBI interview because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the rapport.
* Flynn was unguarded, jocular and did not lie, according to FBI agents who talked to Flynn
FROM COURT DOCUMENTS: Mueller’s court documents (attachment B, page 4 of 6), show the FBI agents who talked to Flynn on January 24, 2017, found that Flynn was:
“relaxed and jocular…unguarded and clearly saw FBI agents as allies…talked about various subjects, including hotels…the President’s knack for interior design….Flynn was so talkative… [FBI agents] Strzok and [redacted] both had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying…The agents left Flynn in a collegial, positive way.“
* Video above shows the audience celebrating Comey’s remarks about violating protocols and rules.
“Those same liberals applauding him wildly would presumably be appalled if a police detective proudly described how he prevented a criminal suspect from speaking to a lawyer simply because he could,” points out Jonathan Turley [see below].
“I probably wouldn’t have … gotten away with it.” Those words this week from former FBI Director James Comey could well be chiseled in marble as his epitaph. He was explaining another violation of bureau policy during his tenure…
What was shocking was not that Comey violated protocols or policies again but the reaction of the audience to his admission. In describing how he set up a critical meeting with Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to President Trump, the audience was audibly thrilled by his cleverness in keeping Flynn unrepresented by legal counsel and unaware of the true nature of the meeting. […]
… Now Comey has again admitted to violating rules and protocols, by setting up Flynn. […]
What was Comey’s justification? Because he could. He refers to the “process” of other administrations. That process, however, was still in place and did not change. Moreover, he noted that he thought he could get away with it because this was “early” in the administration. That is not principle. >It is opportunism. He was supposed to work through the Justice Department and not simply follow the rules only if he might be caught breaking them. […]
… There was nothing noble in Comey seeking to reduce the chance that Flynn might have legal counsel. Those same liberals applauding him wildly would presumably be appalled if a police detective proudly described how he prevented a criminal suspect from speaking to a lawyer simply because he could. […]
Comey seemed to delight the audience by taking credit for keeping Flynn in the dark about the FBI interview. When Wallace asked what Flynn thought the FBI agents wanted, Comey replied, “I don’t think he knew. I know we didn’t tell him.” Actually, Comey didn’t tell anyone. Not the White House counsel, not the acting attorney general, not the Justice Department. He “just sent a couple of guys over” to the White House because he could “get away with it.”
WALLACE: “You look at this White House now, and it’s hard to imagine two FBI agents ending up in the State room. How did that happen?”
COMEY: “I sent them.” [Audience celebrated.]
COMEY: “Something we’ve — I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation — a more organized administration. In the George W. Bush administration, for example, or the Obama administration.”
“The protocol, two men that all of us perhaps have increased appreciation for over the last two years.” [Audience applauded.]
“And in both those administrations there was process. And so if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House Counsel and there’d be discussions and approvals and it would be there. And I thought, it’s early enough, let’s just send a couple of guys over.”
“And so we placed a call to Flynn, said, hey, we’re sending a couple of guys over. Hope you’ll talk to them. He said, sure. Nobody else was there. They interviewed him in a conference room at the White House Situation Room, and he lied to them. And that’s what he’s now pled guilty to.”
WALLACE: “What did he think they were coming over there for?”
COMEY: “I don’t think he knew. I know we didn’t tell him.”
CNN PUSHED FAKE NEWS
Great video juxtaposing Abilio James (“Jim”) Acosta’s lies (Nov. 7) versus the real actions of the so-called caravan migrants (Nov. 25) when they stormed the border and threw rocks at the U.S. border patrol agents:
Jim Acosta lectured President Trump about the migrant caravan saying:
– Not an invasion – Hundreds of miles away – Would not jump border wall
I overlaid actual footage from today of the migrant caravan storming the border to invade the US over Jim's question.
Jim Acosta lectured President Trump about the migrant caravan saying:
– Not an invasion
– Hundreds of miles away
– Would not jump border wall
I overlaid actual footage from today of the migrant caravan storming the border to invade the US over Jim’s question.
CNN’s Jim Acosta was totally wrong about the migrant ‘invasion’
Via Washington Times:
In the infamous press conference with President Trump earlier this month (Remember? When Mr. Acosta stood up to make some declarations [there was hardly a “question” in sight] and then brusquely swiped away a White House intern’s hand when she went to take back the microphone?), Mr. Acosta said the president was all wrong about the migrant caravan that was then marching toward the U.S.-Mexican border. […]
In the Nov. 7 showdown, Mr. Trump called on Mr. Acosta, who stood and said: “I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign in the midterms, […] that this caravan was an ‘invasion.’” […]
Mr. Acosta went on to spout nothing but opinion, using loaded words as he unloaded his bias.
“Do you think that you demonized immigrants in this election?” Mr. Acosta asked. “Not at all,” Mr. Trump said.
“But your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on,” Mr. Acosta said. “They’re not going to be doing that … They’re hundreds of miles away … That’s not an invasion.”
Flash ahead less than three weeks and whamo! — an actual invasion as so-called “migrants” clashed with U.S. Border Patrol guards at the San Ysidro port, throwing rocks and, yes, trying to climb over fences and walls “and so on.”
NOTES TO PONDER
– Do you think these immigrants will respect our laws if they are allowed into the U.S.?
– Why didn’t they use that energy and ferocity to defend themselves in their country or to protest their governments?
THIS IS HOW OBAMA TREATED SOMEONE WHO DISRESPECTED HIM AT THE WHITE HOUSE
CNN called it an “awful situation” that someone had interrupted then-president Obama at the White House in 2015. Obama responded, “Hey, listen you’re in my house. It is not respectful when you get invited to somebody’s– you’re not going to get a good response from me by interrupting me. Shame on you.”
Later Obama kicked out the heckler from the White House.
Attendees celebrated how Obama handled the heckler.
2015 REPORT: Obama Kicks Transgender Demonstrator Out Of LGBT Pride Reception: “You’re In My House”
RealClear Politics reported on June 25, 2015:[1]
At an LGBT Pride Month reception at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, a transgender woman interrupted him, yelling, “President Obama, release all LGBTQ immigrants from detention!”
“Okay you know what. No, no, no. Hold on a second” the president said. “Hey, listen you’re in my house. It is not respectful when you get invited to somebody’s– you’re not going to get a good response from me by interrupting me. Shame on you.”
Fusion’s Jorge Rivas identified the woman as Jennicet Gutiérrez, a founding member of the immigrant rights organization FAMILIA TQLM. She said in a statement:
2015 REPORT: CNN called it “an awful situation that a heckler interrupted Obama:”[2]
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer started his report by saying, “Awful situation: A heckler interrupting the President of the United States…”
BUT IN 2018 WITH TRUMP…
Obama kicked someone out the White House for being rude like Jim Acosta but Trump was wrong ?
Somebody Retweet or Tag a Democrat and ask them where was the outrage when this happened pic.twitter.com/5uW5gHaKSX
The Trump administration is being attacked:
– for suspending Acosta’s pass to the White House for placing his hand on a female staffer to block her from doing her job.
– for Trump calling a rude reporter “rude.”
– because Trump is not a leftist and loves his country.
YES, ACOSTA DID PLACE HIS LEFT HAND ON THE INTERN’S ARM
Pay attention to Acosta’s left hand
Watch the female White House intern’s arm going down when CNN’s Jim Acosta presses his hand on her arm.
Leftists and others [who have not seen the FULL video of CNN’s Jim Acosta interaction with Trump yesterday (about 1.5 minutes)] are attacking the White House for suspending Acosta’s press pass.
C-Span video shows:
1. Trump gave Acosta plenty of time to ask his accusatory questions.
2. After 1:20 minutes Trump says “that’s enough” and points at another reporter.
3. Acosta rudely continues peppering Trump with questions.
4. Trump tells Acosta again, “That’s enough.”
5. The female White House intern tries to take the mic back from Acosta to pass it to the other reporter. (Normally, other reporters surrender the mic at this point – but not Acosta)
6. Acosta refuses to hand over the mic.
7. Acosta presses his left hand against the left arm of the female intern.
8. Acosta hogs the mic & refuses to surrender it – denying others the opportunity to ask questions to the president.
SARAH SANDERS BEING ATTACKED FOR PROTECTING FEMALE INTERN
Now, people are saying the video posted by Sarah Sanders is “doctored” but the person behind the video says he just zoomed in (see tweets below):
We stand by our decision to revoke this individual’s hard pass. We will not tolerate the inappropriate behavior clearly documented in this video. pic.twitter.com/T8X1Ng912y
[Disclaimer: We don’t follow InfoWars or PrisonPlanet, but embedded their tweet here because they are saying they are the authors of the zoomed video being used by the White House.]
WHAT IF TRUMP HAD TREATED A WOMAN LIKE THIS
Watch how the left hand of CNN reporter Jim Acosta presses against the biceps area of the White House female intern in charge of passing the microphone around.
In the video you see the intern’s arm going down when Jim Acosta presses his hand on her arm.
Video: Full exchange between President Trump and CNN’s Jim Acosta (C-SPAN)
As we reported yesterday, Trump gave Acosta plenty of time to ask his accusatory questions.
Then Trump wants to give another reporter the opportunity to ask a questions.
Trump points at another reporter, the intern needs to move the microphone quickly to that reporter. But Acosta blocks her from getting the mic. On her face, you can see she did not expect resistance from Acosta.
Video: Full video President Trump post-election press conference (1.5 hours)
Watch the intern during the conference quickly passing the microphone from one reporter to other. Acosta was the only who offered resistance and actually blocked her from getting the microphone.
At video mark 34:30 you see another reporter behaving properly giving up the microphone as soon as Trump points at another reporter. The intern quickly hands the mic to the other reporters.
White House Press Secretary is correct in suspending Acosta’s pass:
President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern…
This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history.
…over the course of 1.5 hours including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it‘s an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration
