Giuliani Convinced Trump He Could Overturn Election



November 17, 2020 at 11:52 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Washington Post: “In a meeting Friday, Rudy Giuliani told Trump that his advisers had been lying to him about his odds of prevailing and that he actually could win… Since then, Giuliani has taken over.”

“Also further empowered is Jenna Ellis, who showed up at the campaign’s headquarters over the weekend and signaled to others she would be taking a leading role in the effort. Ellis is viewed as an uncontrollable figure inside the campaign who often provided Trump with questionable information about alleged voter fraud and appeared on television without asking for approval from campaign officials.”

I wouldn’t say she ran over him but he clearly wasn’t expecting that level of sociopathic bullshit.

He complimented her at the end saying “Trump has the right girl” with her.

She is “something else” as my mom would say.

He wants to be the lawyer on record in the PA case but he has not paid his dues. He is such and idiot.

"Convince" Trump of something he desperately wants to believe. Tough task, that. Thanks for your service to the republic, Rudy. Care to fuck off now?

into the history books, they'll be remembered w/ some pretty unsavory comments and descriptions of their exploits. I do have a feeling though that we're yet to see the true extent of trump's corruption...
