Still Doing "Respectfully" ProfessorGAC Jan 2021 #21

What's courageous is that Raffensberger recorded the conversation... brush Jan 2021 #30

I Heard It ProfessorGAC Jan 2021 #36

I disgree. The safe thing to do was nothing. No one would've found out... brush Jan 2021 #48

That's Fine ProfessorGAC Jan 2021 #68

I think releasing it AFTER Trump lied about the conversation ToxMarz Jan 2021 #52

Yes. His release directly contradicted trump and grapically... brush Jan 2021 #73

I say, "With all due respect" every time lunatica Jan 2021 #79

His lawyer was in on the call... reACTIONary Jan 2021 #69

A good lawyer helps. But he could've opted to just play it safe... brush Jan 2021 #72

You are right. nt reACTIONary Jan 2021 #74

It's called CYA misanthrope Jan 2021 #95

Yes, cya. I edited my post. brush Jan 2021 #97

I'm thinking he had some major assurances that Trump will not be able to stay in power. brewens Jan 2021 #96

Oh I see it. This is a masterful use of 'politeness'. Tommymac Jan 2021 #40

That's Georgia for you. Laelth Jan 2021 #53

Love this MustLoveBeagles Jan 2021 #66

That Could Be ProfessorGAC Jan 2021 #70

Cleverness isn't required. Laelth Jan 2021 #80

I'm ProfessorGAC... ProfessorGAC Jan 2021 #81

Thank you. It's nice to be heard. n/t Laelth Jan 2021 #83

"HE has no clue"? SergeStorms Jan 2021 #43

Mary Trump said her Uncle Donald TNNurse Jan 2021 #54

I hope he's the only one... reACTIONary Jan 2021 #71

Putin got an early copy too dutch777 Jan 2021 #3

I don't know, but CNN and MSNBC need to put lawyers on NOW! servermsh Jan 2021 #4

MSNBC had Joyce Vance on earlier dhol82 Jan 2021 #78

Thank you for that info. Your post made me grin from ear to ear! Trump was not just being a Atticus Jan 2021 #5

Nothing new there. Laelth Jan 2021 #8

Ha. I noticed that too. Mike 03 Jan 2021 #12

"Please proceed---" nt Atticus Jan 2021 #13

The article says Georgia officials malaise Jan 2021 #6

Raffensberger's attorney was also on the line. Laelth Jan 2021 #10

No, The Entire World is on the party line now! Tommymac Jan 2021 #42

Ha malaise Jan 2021 #57

Yep. Raffensberger did it. They may say it was his "office" or Ryan Germany that did it. Solly Mack Jan 2021 #7

Trump's Head Is Gonna 'Splode. MineralMan Jan 2021 #9

Imagine Trump's inner monologue PJMcK Jan 2021 #16

Nope. It's filled with chain saws and komodo dragons. sarge43 Jan 2021 #46

URGENT: Command from Komrad Putin! Do as I say, not as your sniveling other voices say. erronis Jan 2021 #60

I suspect his inner monologue sounds something like... Dr. Strange Jan 2021 #77

Or, as SNL would have it GopherGal Jan 2021 #84

So are his depends. Tommymac Jan 2021 #44

TMI Right There... MineralMan Jan 2021 #45

Raffensperger might want to look under his car exboyfil Jan 2021 #11

He's rightly concerned. Laelth Jan 2021 #14

That was my thought as well GopherGal Jan 2021 #88

Is Raffensperger still a Trumper after this? Boomerproud Jan 2021 #19

It is probably beneficial for him to be, for now. David__77 Jan 2021 #23

Presumably and mysteriously, yes. Laelth Jan 2021 #24

He's still a GOPer, and as S.O.S. he's in charge of voter suppression in Georgia groundloop Jan 2021 #49

Be sure to check the brake lines, Mr Secratary n/t sarge43 Jan 2021 #47

Mrs. Betty Bowers may have the answer: StarfishSaver Jan 2021 #17

A question about telephone recording laws PJMcK Jan 2021 #18

It's a question of venue. Laelth Jan 2021 #20

Regardless of law, imho, such a conversation by an elected official should be allowed lindysalsagal Jan 2021 #26

It might be. Laelth Jan 2021 #34

I'm thinking that Gohmert and Cruz MyOwnPeace Jan 2021 #39

Thank you for the clarification! (n/t) PJMcK Jan 2021 #27

You're welcome. n/t Laelth Jan 2021 #35

Even if venue were met Sgent Jan 2021 #93

DC also has a one-party consent law, so this broke no law on either end. n/t pnwmom Jan 2021 #64

Thank you (n/t) PJMcK Jan 2021 #65

Raffensperger should have invited the entire press pool to sit in on the call SledDriver Jan 2021 #22

This guarantees the orangatan won't do any more live appearances. lindysalsagal Jan 2021 #28

That he could not do without Trump's permission. Laelth Jan 2021 #29

Yup BGBD Jan 2021 #32

Wasn't a legal representative in on the call also? Where is the line drawn? erronis Jan 2021 #61

I wonder if it's possible someone in the White House Mr.Bill Jan 2021 #31

I think when you look at the tweet BGBD Jan 2021 #33

It is legal by the communications act of 1934. Linda Tripp should have been jailed as neither party LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #37

"This call may be recorded for quality assurance" Warpy Jan 2021 #38

Ah, why he accepted the call now makes sense. ancianita Jan 2021 #41

Yep. Trump has been attacking Raffensberger for weeks. Laelth Jan 2021 #50

Georgia saving the nation, over and over again! Sogo Jan 2021 #51

We argued against the Civil War. Laelth Jan 2021 #56

Love it! Sogo Jan 2021 #59

I would also add ... Laelth Jan 2021 #63

I dont care what anyone says Squidly Jan 2021 #91

This feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone Cozmo Jan 2021 #55

AND ALSO the AP and NPR. Someone wanted to make sure this got out there. n/t pnwmom Jan 2021 #62

Raffensberger may be a Republican but he's no fool dlk Jan 2021 #67

You learn VERY EARLY when working in the corporate world - when you're dealing with bullwinkle428 Jan 2021 #75

the Con will attempt to sue Raffensberger for releasing the recording i'm sure onetexan Jan 2021 #82

He is MustLoveBeagles Jan 2021 #87

Of course Trump will do this. It is his M.O. after all. apnu Jan 2021 #90

He is remarkably, sickeningly good at it. n/t Laelth Jan 2021 #98

I'm sure as soon as Raffensberger heard who was on the line he hit the Record button... Hekate Jan 2021 #85

I recall reading, in 2016, about Trump's own lawyers would routinely record him apnu Jan 2021 #89

Legally - nt. UnderThisLaw Jan 2021 #92

Correct. n/t Laelth Jan 2021 #99
