January 18, 2021: "Voter Fraud Nessie" Yet to Surface

 

1/18/21: With two days remaining in the presidency of Donald Trump, you might imagine that serious evidence of widespread election fraud would have been uncovered – in Georgia, for sure.

The president continues to insist that, like the Loch Ness monster, the evidence is there. But the people in charge of finding it keep insisting they’ve looked, and “Voter Fraud Nessie” never surfaces. 

Last week, Bobby Christine, Acting U.S. District Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, a recent Trump appointee to his post, announced that his office would not bother to pursue two challenges to the Georgia election results filed by President Trump’s legal team.

“I can tell you I closed the two most – I don’t know, I guess you’d call them high profile or the two most pressing election issues this office has,” he explained to staff, in a recording obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. 

“I said I believe, as many of the people around the table believed,” Christine is heard saying, “there’s just nothing to them.” 

Christine also indicated during the conversation that he would like to go public with the findings but could not. “I would love to stand out on the street corner and scream this, and I can’t.” 

His former boss, Byung J. “BJay” Pak, also a Trump appointee, had been forced to resign just before the Georgia senate runoff election. Pak’s sin? He failed to find election fraud that wasn’t there.

A STORY you probably missed as the days of President Trump dwindled to “a precious few,” comes from CBS – by way of a report to the United Nations Security Council – by way of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Iran is “advancing its nuclear program and making a point of doing it in plain sight.” 

The incoming Biden administration will attempt to “steer Iran back into compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement – and then bring the U.S. back onboard, too.” 

(This, of course, is the agreement Trump hated, tore up, and replaced with bombastic threats.)  

CBS News warns that the IAEA has evidence that “Tehran has started to manufacture equipment used to produce uranium metal at a facility in Isfahan. Uranium metal can be used to make the core of a nuclear warhead, but it’s unclear yet when or if Iran might start producing the material.” 

The 2015 deal prohibited Iran from producing uranium metals for fifteen years. Trump bragged that he could get a better deal signed, sealed, and delivered, because he was a genius at making deals. (See also: 1/19/21.)
