National Review: Trump's Disgraceful Gambit

[brooklynite]

The Rudy Giuliani–led press conference at the RNC yesterday was the most outlandish and irresponsible performance ever by a group of lawyers representing a president of the United States.

If Giuliani’s charge of a “national conspiracy” to produce fraudulent votes in Democratic cities around the country wasn’t far-fetched enough, attorney Sidney Powell ratcheted it up with the allegation that Communist-designed election machinery was used to change the vote from a Trump landslide to a narrow Biden victory. An obvious question is why, if you can manipulate the vote count via machine, you’d need to bother with old-fashioned fraudulent ballots. Powell’s story is that the surprisingly strong Trump turnout “broke the algorithm” of the corrupted machines, and then the fraudulent ballots were desperately hauled in to make up the difference.

This is lawyering worthy of the comments section of Breitbart News.

If there’s serious evidence for any of this, Giuliani and co. need to produce it immediately. Waving around affidavits at a press conference without allowing anyone to examine them doesn’t count.

1. I wonder if NR is aware that all that is happening now is an outgrowth

of the impeachment trial. Trump and the sycophants who surrounded him broke campaign and other laws in an attempt to frame a political opponent. The GOP was given a golden opportunity then to walk away from Trump. They decided to pass on it. The GOP owns this especially all the Senators who refused to conduct an open trial on the chargers.

2. Pathetic. Rudi and his associates need to lose their licenses. They don't deserve to ever work in

court of justice.

3. Whoa and that's The National Review!

4. Well yeah, but Buckley would just be a grass smoking hippie nowadays.

10. That brought a very interesting image to mind

I can still hear that obnoxiously snooty voice though.

6. They are in two camps over there

I regularly read their stuff. The never Trumpers usually make some sense. The pro-Trumpers are just as insane as OAN. The general consensus is that the relationship with Trump is transactional (we get the judges and tax cuts). Over time though the pro-Trumpers have drowned out the never Trumpers.

Now apparently the editorial staff is shocked, shocked I say to see an assault on the Constitution.

9. Yeah, funny how some of these conservatives

get all patriotic from time to time. Their devotion to the constitution tends to be very selective, much like Evangelicals and the bible.

5. NR has an intern to read the 57 nasty cancellation letters....

and I'm sure Breitbart is happy for the mention.
