Tracker Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Newly revealed audio caught Trump pressuring a Georgia official to help him overturn the 2020 election President Donald Trump infamously called state Attorney General Brad Raffensperger, berating him for his loss of Georgia and demanding he "find" him 11,000 more votes in what some legal experts say was a criminal act. But less known until now is that Trump also called the chief investigator of the Georgia Secretary of State's office in his attempt to overturn the results of the election. In that call he blamed Stacey Abrams and "dishonest" Fulton County, which is home to Atlanta, for the loss – which he also insists was not real, saying that he won the state by "hundreds of thousands" of votes. The Wall Street Journal Wednesday evening reported on the call, and published the audio. "Something bad happened," Trump told the investigator, Frances Watson. "When the right answer comes out, you'll be praised." Watson was not about to be intimidated. "I can assure you that our team and the [Georgia Bureau of Investigation], that we are only interested in the truth and finding the information that is based on the facts." In the recording of the call, which has never been released before, Trump and pressures Watson repeatedly to help him out. "This country is counting on it," Trump tells her, meaning him winning Georgia. "You have the most important job in the country," he also tells her. Trump also falsely claims he won other states, like Texas, by the biggest margin ever: "we won Texas by a record, Texas was won by the biggest, biggest number ever," which is false.

Tracker Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Oklahoma House Passes Bill To Give Immunity To Drivers Who Hit Protesters The Republican-majority Oklahoma state House passed a bill on Wednesday that would grant immunity to drivers who “unintentionally” run over protesters. In an early morning vote along party lines, with 79 votes in favor and 18 against, state lawmakers approved legislation that would remove criminal or civil liability for any driver who “unintentionally” injures or kills someone while “fleeing from a riot,” as long as they have a “reasonable belief” that fleeing would protect themselves from harm. The bill would also allow protesters to be charged with a misdemeanor if they “unlawfully obstruct” traffic, punishable by up to a year in jail and $5,000 in fines.

Tracker Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Arizona Republican waging war on voting rights drops the mask: "Everybody shouldn't be voting." Since its devastating loss in 2020, the Republican Party has been committed to overhauling voting rights in the United States to ensure restrictive practices limit voting capabilities. Now, Arizona Republicans' latest actions show they are leading the way. According to CNN, Republican lawmakers in Arizona's state legislature have unveiled more than two dozen proposed voting laws to make it more difficult for residents to vote. The various proposed laws are geared toward targeting certain aspects of the state's voting systems, namely its vote-by-mail system that contributed to Arizona residents' turning the state blue during the last presidential election. The publication reports that: "A handful of the bills -- including two that would impose new restrictions on Arizona's popular vote-by-mail system and one that would limit its narrow voting window -- have gained momentum and could pass." The flurry of proposed pieces of legislation has led to opposition from Democratic lawmakers. Arizona state Rep. Athena Salman (D-Tempe) offered her observation of the bills, what they signify, and who they are targeting, specifically. "They are trying to make it harder for everyone to vote based on the hope and desire that the people who it harms more and who it disenfranchises more are the people less likely to vote Republican," said Salman. On social media, Rep. John Kavanaugh (R-Ariz.), who also chairs Arizona's Government and Elections Committee is also facing backlash for his remarks about voting as he insisted that "everybody" should not be voting. "There's a fundamental difference between Democrats and Republicans," Kavanagh said. "Democrats value as many people as possible voting and they're willing to risk fraud. Republicans are more concerned about fraud, so we don't mind putting security measures in that won't let everybody vote -- but everybody shouldn't be voting." Kavanaugh added, "Not everybody wants to vote, and if somebody is uninterested in voting, that probably means that they're totally uninformed on the issues. Quantity is important, but we have to look at the quality of votes, as well."

Tracker Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Trump accountant will flip to save his sons from prison -- according to Michael Cohen Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen believes another longtime associate will eventually flip against the former president. Prosecutors seem to have their sights set on Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg as the Manhattan district attorney's office plows ahead in its investigation of the twice-impeached one-term president's business dealings, and Cohen believes they'll eventually gain his cooperation in the probe, reported The New Yorker. "He's not going to let his boys go to prison," Cohen told the magazine, "and I don't think he wants to spend his golden years in a correctional institution, either." The 73-year-old Weisselberg has worked closely alongside Trump for decades, and legal experts and others close to the case agree he would make a star witness. "Allen Weisselberg knows where all the bodies are buried," said the president's niece Mary Trump.
