Trump Pals Push ‘National Emergency’ Excuse To Control Elections
The Washington Post has the scoop: “Pro-Trump activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a 17-page draft executive order that claims China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.”
Not surprisingly, you have to read through several paragraphs before Jeff Bezos’ Post gets around to letting us know how bogus that claim is, without actually saying so. The article states, “A 2021 intelligence review concluded that China considered efforts to influence the election but did not go through with them.”
The Post names only two of the so-called “pro-Trump activists.” Florida lawyer Peter Ticktin is one. He represents incarcerated felon Tina Peters, the Colorado woman convicted of trying to tamper with voting machines. Ticktin got Trump to issue a fake pardon for Peters. So he’d probably have no trouble getting the Sore Loser In Chief to declare a fake national emergency just in time to try to steal the midterms. “Ticktin said he’s had ‘certain coordination’ with White House officials but declined to specify, citing safety concerns,” The Post said.
