Will the 2020 Election Now be on Trial? By Chris Knight (Florida)
It is hard to keep up with all the indictments of President Trump. Apart from the January 6 absurdity, the latest one is an indictment for daring to question the results of the 2020 election. Never mind that Hillary Clinton scammed the Russiagate affair as part of her quest to show that Russia stole the 2016 election, a claim which has been decisively refuted, but which she still holds to. No indictment for her.
But the Trump indictment is that he failed to tell the truth about the wonderful 2020 election, which saw Joe Biden get record numbers of votes, after polling stations kicked out Republican scrutineers, and bags of votes were taken in and processed. And, the defence to this, as detailed in the extract from the American Thinker.com, is to put the 2020 election to the test, by presenting all the evidence that courts refused to hear, including a submission by the state of Texas, held not to have standing!
This cannot be denied as a defence, and it will have a detrimental kick-on effect upon the 2024 election. It is an example of Democrats shooting themselves in the foot, because whatever way it goes, it will prove that the system is corrupt.

“As the multi-year federal government cover-up of Biden family grifting collapsed, the Democrats, driven mad by their self-induced psychosis of Trump Derangement Syndrome, abandoned all rationality and common sense to double down on their political persecution of Donald J. Trump.
Their indictment of Trump for failure to accept the results of the 2020 presidential election is mindless. The stupidity of the Democrats who wrote this indictment or who rave about it boggles the imagination. Never have so many college graduates been so out of touch with reality.
According to the indictment, the grounds for prosecuting Trump are that he did not tell the truth about the legality of votes cast in that election and so acted fraudulently and in bad faith. But such an indictment gives him a powerful defense: the truth.
He now has the right to argue in court — for the first time ever — that he told the truth about the 2020 presidential election.
In the previous cases brought in state courts to show fraud in the acceptance of ballots, Trump and his supporters were plaintiffs. Thus, they had the duty to come forward with clear evidence of fraud, enough to get to a trial. Such evidence they did not have, as it was in the possession of local election officials, who did not turn it over to Trump. As a result, judges refused to let those cases go to trial, where evidence would be presented to a jury for their consideration.
Until today, there has been no court examination of relevant evidence on the legality of ballots counted and no court determination that the election was either fair or fraudulent.
Now Trump is the defendant, and in order to prove that he was a liar, the Department of Justice has the duty to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the election was fair. As the defendant in a criminal case, Trump is presumed innocent and has the right to introduce evidence contradicting the government's accusation that he was a liar.
The indictment against Trump thus allows him to put on the stand local election officials to testify under oath whether each vote counted under their supervision was cast by a living American citizen registered to vote and legally entitled to the privilege of voting. If those witnesses can't prove the validity of votes for Biden, then Trump will vindicate his assertion about the unfairness of that presidential election.
He can also put Mark Zuckerberg on the stand to testify to how much money he gave to finance the collection of ballots by Democrat operatives and how that operation worked in practice. He can introduce Dinesh D'Souza's documentary 2000 Mules for jury consideration. He can make a national spectacle of Democrat scheming and manipulation of ballots cast.
It will be the burden of the Democrats now to prove the validity of each and every vote recorded by state election officials. If they can't prove the legality of sufficient votes for Biden, then they would have no evidence that the election was actually honestly conducted and fair. There would be no evidence to justify calling Trump a liar, and the grounds for his indictment would disappear into thin air, as just another "Big Lie" narrative made up by the progressive left.”
Writer, James Howard Kunstler gives his take on this, and he is not even a Trump supporter!
“There is only one way to explain this shambles: Every one of these crises traces back to the Democratic Party’s obsession with taking and holding power more or less indefinitely to suit its hubristic, end-of-history “narrative” of righteous liberal triumph.” — Patrick Lawrence
That silence you hear these dog days of a wilting empire is the calm before the storm and everybody knows it. “Joe Biden’s” final desperate ploy against the menace of Donald Trump looks about on par with the Ukraine spring offensive, hardly even worth a “hey, nice try.”
So, the best they could do was to charge Mr. Trump with objecting vocally to an election that looked as rotten as Hunter’s uncapped teeth? We all saw what happened overnight November 3 and 4, 2020: what the numbers looked like in the swing precincts at midnight and the magic mathematics that swapped tens of thousands of votes over from the Trump column to the Biden column (say, whu?) … the shutdown of the Fulton County State Farm Arena due to a supposedly leaking toilet and the ensuing monkey business with rolly-bags full of ballots under the tables captured by the closed-circuit cameras… the miraculous wee-hour harvest of ballots in Milwaukee… US Postal Service truck full of completed ballots out of Bethpage, Long Island, that turned up in Philadelphia… Mark Zuckerberg’s $419-million-dollar operation using two front orgs, the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) to staff precinct election boards with party shills and buy votes… the thumb drives and modems in the vote-counting machines….
Special Counsel Jack Smith may find it difficult to prove that expressing an opinion about all that is some kind of crime. Meanwhile, he’s turned Mr. Trump into the poster boy for the many other aggrieved victims of a government weaponized against its own people. More than half the country sees exactly what’s going on and no amount of video footage showing “JB” and Jill holding hands on the beach is going cover for that. We are on the threshold of a king-hell national crisis.
Consider: a 27.4 percent drop in goods of all kinds “roaded-in” on semi-trucks to the northeast USA this summer. That’s everything from auto parts to lumber, clothing, and food. What else do you think sent the Yellow Corp trucking company, one hundred years old, spinning into sudden bankruptcy this week? Yellow won’t be bought and reorganized, either. It owes three quarters of a billion dollars in loans to the federal government (i.e., to us taxpayers) and untold pension obligations. Next, 22,000 Yellow Corp workers will hit the unemployment rolls. Yellow Corp had a special role in the supply chain: the LTL (less-than-truckload) niche, often the final journey of a product to the customer. It was also the cheapest. Whoever picks up the work — FedEx, ABF Freight? — will cost more, and so will everything you have to buy.
Behind this crumbling economy looms the fragile financial system of banks, securities markets, a wilderness of derivatives trades, and currencies. How long do you think it will take before that clockwork of debt obligations and ownerships in failing enterprises breaks down? Think: four to eight weeks, starting with when everyone comes back from the beach or the lake after Labor Day. Banks will resume failing, too, followed by bail-out efforts that will open a trapdoor under the dollar. The country will finally learn what Bidenomics means.
Money trouble tends to blot out whatever else is happening to you, so the nation may not even notice that the Ukraine war is a lost cause. Not that we actually lost it, the Ukrainians did, poor buggers. What role did it play in American life besides money laundromat for the Biden family and a convenient stash for any number of bio-weapons labs? Are you still pretending that the war we provoked there was a heroic stand for “democracy?” Will the place matter to us when Russia has to take it on as a charity? The only thing a lot of newly-broke Americans will notice is the more than $100-billion we pounded down that rat-hole, and the thought will not make them feel warm and fuzzy.
Have you noticed the clamor about a coming new pandemic virus? The catch is that it doesn’t even have to be some kind of lab-grown novelty disease this time. All it will take now to remove millions from the voter rolls is an ordinary seasonal flu, considering how many Americans are walking around with wrecked immune systems from the mRNA vaccines they lined-up for so giddily.
There will be so much going on this fall that the nation might not even notice the impeachment hearings against Mr. Biden, AG Garland, and Mr. Mayorkas of Homeland Security. The major media won’t even cover the proceedings. The only open question around all of these things —a presidential scandal, the Ukraine war, an economic train wreck, political show trials — is how much civic upheaval there might be on-the-ground across the land while all this plays out, especially if our lawless, faithless, clueless government tries to lay a climate emergency trip on everybody as a final, desperate diversion?”
