2 statewide recounts w/ NO EVIDENCE of FRAUD means Trump's RIGHT...Georgia is RIFE with FRAUD! USA! USA! USA!

Appearing on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Johnson was asked to comment on fears that President Donald Trump may “meddle in the 2026 midterm elections,” fears that have only been exacerbated after the recent FBI raid on a Georgia election office that has been at the center of Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was “rigged.”

Johnson said he found such fears to be “comical,” citing Georgia, falsely, as “example A” of “schemes in elections.”

Welker pushed back, reminding Johnson that there had been two statewide recounts in Georgia that produced no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Undeterred, Johnson continued to float the idea that the 2020 election in Georgia was plagued with “problems,” while also choosing his words carefully in an apparent attempt to not make explicit claims of voter fraud that could later be used against him.

“They sent mail-out ballets to everyone, everyone knows all of the problems that occurred in Georgia, it was very controversial and remains so to this day because of all the things that happened there,” Johnson said.

“Again, we’re not going to relitigate that, but what we have to focus on going forward is to ensure that there are not questions about the elections, and that’s why Republicans are working at the federal and state levels to clean those things up.”

Again, Welker pushed back.

The 11.780 votes or however many it was?

Incidentally, what's the story on the four (?) co-conspirators who pleaded guilty in the Georgia case? I'll jog your memory; Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro and Scott Hall. Have they 'taken back' their guilty pleas? How does this all work?

but you can't find evidence, it just means they are deviously good at hiding things.

And devious people can't be trusted, right?

What further proof do you need?

Paranoid people have a strange sense of logic that defies normal people.

With Trump and his followers, paranoia isn't a fault, it is a feature of their mindset.
