#crooked donald whines & tries to subvert election process

+ With Republicans close to reclaiming control of the House next year, the treatment of Cheney suggests GOP leaders will do almost anything to rally the party's base, even if that means sweeping the events of Jan. 6 under the rug and embracing — or refusing to confront — Tr*mp's ongoing lie that he won the 2020 election, a campaign that he actually lost by a wide margin. + Those backing Cheney's ouster argue she has become a distraction by continuing to criticize Tr*mp, who remains the dominating force in the party. They want to move forward, they say, and focus on policy ideas and providing

a clear contrast with Democrats. + But critics see the fight as a larger distraction.  “My unsolicited advice would be: Talk about the future and what you offer to Americans,” said Alyssa Farah, the former Tr*mp White House communications director.  “I do worry that this is sort of showing that we're going to continue more the politics of personality, as opposed to the politics of policy and deliverables to the American public." + While a message about being “sufficiently pro-Tr*mp” may work in certain districts, Farah noted Republicans' focus on election interference depressed GOP turnout in Georgia, where the party lost two runoff elections in January that gave Democrats control of the Senate.  And Farah warned that aligning the party with lies about voter fraud could turn off suburban voters and older voters in key swing districts.

+ Last week, Maricopa County handed over nearly 2.1 million ballots and nearly 400 tabulation machines to the state Senate after Republican lawmakers subpoenaed the materials and a judge ruled that county officials had to comply. + In a last-ditch effort to block the controversial audit, the Arizona Democratic Party and the lone Democrat serving on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, which oversees elections, sued to halt the count Thursday evening (4-22-2021). A judge agreed to briefly pause the audit after a Friday hearing, but Democrats declined to provide the required $1 million bond, so the audit continued. + After hearing from Arizonans troubled by the endeavor, Hobbs said, her office has been working "with a lawsuit that's been filed to try to address the security's concerns at a minimum.  But at this point, this seems like such a farce that it would be a good idea to stop it." + The review, which is being overseen by a company whose chief executive supported former pres-ident Donald Tr*mp and shared election conspiracy theories in since-deleted tweets, will be broadcast live by the right-wing One

American News Network. + The audit's GOP organizers have been cagey about who will do the ballot counting and whether the teams will be bipartisan. They have ignored requests from election integrity groups to allow nonpartisan election administration experts to observe the process. And journalists who want to report on the endeavor are allowed to do so only if they agree to participate as election observers, and will be barred from taking notes or video. + "We have so many concerns about this exercise," Hobbs said Monday. "I kind of don't want to call it an audit. I think that's an insult to professional auditors everywhere because they're making this stuff up as they go along." She added, "I think there was a high level of expectation that whoever had their hands on the ballots and the equipment would adhere to some level of security measures and transparency, and that clearly has not happened." + The partisan audit, which could stretch for roughly two months, comes after county election officials conducted two audits and found no evidence of widespread voter fraud and other issues. + Hobbs already certified the election results, showing that President Joe Biden narrowly won the state. But the latest review highlights how many Republicans continue to cling to Tr*mp's unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud in 2020 -- falsehoods that continue to roil the GOP.

+ The U.S. House of Representatives broke new ground Wednesday by impeaching a president for a second time, a week before he leaves office, indicting Pres-ident Tr*mp for inciting a riot with false claims of a stolen election that led to the storming of the Capitol and five deaths. ... + The House took a final vote Wednesday afternoon, one week after the riot and just two days after the impeachment resolution was filed. It was a stunningly swift response from a House that took nearly three months to impeach Tr*mp in 2019 on charges of abuse of power and contempt of Congress. + But with just seven days remaining in Tr*mp’s term, it became increasingly certain Wednesday that Tr*mp would not be removed from office prematurely.

+ Signaling his commitment to quickly confront climate change, President-elect Joe Biden is planning to move within days to quash the controversial multibillion-dollar Keystone XL pipeline, according to two individuals familiar with the decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it had not been announced yet. + The politically symbolic pipeline, promoted by the oil and gas industry since it was first proposed about 15 years ago, has drawn opposition because it would

carry tar sands, or heavy bitumen, from the boreal forests of northern Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. The energy used in extracting these molasses-like petroleum supplies would contribute heavily to climate change. + The move is one of a flurry of environmental actions Biden plans to take after being sworn into office Wednesday. He has already announced that he will rejoin the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change on his first day as president, and his aides are looking at other policies ranging from approving wind projects off the East Coast to restoring protections for national monuments that Pres-ident Tr*mp unilaterally undercut.

+ “So if you read my speech … people thought that what I said was totally appropriate,” Tr*mp insisted as he headed to Texas to tour parts of the barrier he ordered constructed on the US-Mexico border as part of his hardline immigration policies. ... + Democrats have directly linked the speech, and previous Tr*mp comments, to the carnage that unfolded when rioters, some carrying Confederate flags, fought with police and looted congressional offices. House Democrats have led demands that Tr*mp be removed or face a historic second impeachment. + A handful of senior Republicans in recent days joined calls for Tr*mp to go. And, crucially, the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, indicated to associates that he believes Tr*mp deserves to be impeached, the New York Times reported on Tuesday, with the Kentucky Republican thinking it will make it easier for the party to purge him, as a liability. + The outlet further reported that the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, has toyed variously with asking Tr*mp to resign, supporting impeachment and considering a vote to censure the pres-ident.  And the senior House Republican Liz Cheney said she would vote to impeach Tr*mp.

+ House Democrats said they were prepared to vote on impeachment as early as Tuesday for Tr*mp's role in inciting a mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol last week. In a show of the president's evaporating support within his own party, Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., suggested Tr*mp should resign and could face "criminal liability" for his actions. + Tr*mp 0only days remaining in his term – a point supporters noted – but the debate over how Congress should respond is focused largely on his legacy and his ability to control the GOP once President-elect Joe Biden takes office Jan. 20. Playing into that debate: whether Tr*mp could mount another run for the White House in 2024.

+ Tr*mp admitted for the first time early Thursday that he lost the 2020 election and committed to an “orderly” transition of power after Congress certified President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. + Tr*mp’s long-delayed admission came after one of the darkest days in modern American history played out on Capitol Hill.Incited by Tr*mp, a mob of far-right rioters, many armed, stormed the U.S. Capitol while lawmakers were counting the Electoral College votes in the final step before Biden’s inauguration, resulting in four deaths and a lengthy delay of the certification process.

+ Vice President Mike Pence defied Pres-ident Donald Tr*mp early Thursday morning as he affirmed President-elect Joe Biden’s November victory, putting an end to Tr*mp’s futile efforts to subvert American democracy and overturn the results of the election. + In a move that infuriated Tr*mp and left his own political future far less certain, Pence on Wednesday acknowledged that he did not have the power to unilaterally throw out electoral college votes as Tr*mp and some of his attorneys had wrongly insisted. + Pence, as the session came to an end, said the count “shall be deemed a sufficient declaration” of Biden’s victory, but offered no words of congratulations to the incoming administration. It capped an extraordinary day of chaos, violence and division after a pro-Tr*mp mob stormed the Capitol, sending lawmakers into hiding and delaying the proceeding.

+ So far six officials associated with Tr*mp and his inner circle have said they are quitting, including members of the first lady Melania Tr*mp’s team, after the deadly violence that surrounded the Congressional vote to certify Joe Biden’s presidential election victory in November.  Senior Republican figures also have indicated splits from the president.

+ The district attorney’s investigation of a sitting president has taken on even greater significance because Mr. Tr*mp’s past use of his presidential power — pardoning those close to him charged with federal crimes — suggests he will make liberal use of the pardon pen on behalf of associates, family members and possibly even himself, as he claimed he has the right to do. +  But his pardon power does not extend to state crimes, like the possible violations under investigation by Mr. Vance’s office. +  Mr. Vance’s inquiry could take on outsized importance if the incoming Biden administration, in seeking to unify the country and avoid the appearance of retaliation against Mr. Tr*mp, shies away from new federal investigations.  Such a move would not bind the district attorney, an independent elected state official.

+ The move comes after an extraordinary and prolonged effort by President Donald Tr*mp and top Republicans to undermine confidence in the election's outcome by baselessly claiming fraud and refusing to recognize President-elect Joe Biden's victory. For more then three decades, the organization, founded by former President Jimmy Carter and former first lady Rosalyn Carter, has helped support democratic elections in countries during fragile and volatile times. + Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Wednesday that the state will conduct an audit of the race, which includes all counties recounting, by hand, the nearly 5 million ballots cast.

+ “It has to do with (Tr*mp’s) finances, it has to do with his tax returns, it has to do with his properties, it has to do with the personal financial statements that he had made and provided in order to obtain loans," Cohen said on CBSN Thursday. + A number of investigations could cause legal trouble for Mr. Tr*mp after he leaves office in January, including potential congressional inquiries as well as probes by the attorneys general of New York and Washington, D.C. and the Manhattan district attorney. + Cohen said he had been questioned by the state attorney general's team and the district attorney's office and claimed investigators are "well-prepared" with their evidence to "move relatively quickly" in their probes.

+ U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) noted the “panic-stricken” pleas from police officers overwhelmed by the mob, coming at the same time as Tr*mp was calling up senators to demand they decertify the election.“Presumably, since we were at that point being evacuated, and I think he was told that, there was some awareness of the events. What I hope the defense does is explain that.” ... + Tr*mp’s delayed response to the attack on the Capitol has been detailed in news reports that he was delighted by the spectacle as he watched it unfold on television. + Democratic House impeachment managers also noted a tweet sent out by

Tr*mp, minutes after his vice president Mike Pence was evacuated from the senate, saying, “Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.” + The argument that Tr*mp was derelict in duty as president and commander in chief by failing to take action to stop the riot — or even urge his supporters to go home — is what National Review columnist Andy McCarthy says is the strongest argument that Tr*mp should be convicted.

+ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) called on officials to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment, warning that they are prepared to begin impeachment proceedings if the Cabinet and vice president do not act.  Though that extraordinary step is unlikely to succeed, it is a sign that a growing number of Democrats and Republicans now believe Tr*mp is too dangerous to remain president. + Tr*mp “invited an armed insurrection against the United States of America,” Pelosi told reporters a day after a pro-Tr*mp mob incited by the president stormed the Capitol, vandalizing the building and forcing lawmakers to evacuate. One woman was fatally shot and three people died of other causes. + Over the course of today, a growing chorus of officials — including current Cabinet secretaries and Tr*mp allies — strongly chastised the president, who stayed out of sight until his evening message, in which he denounced the mob attack, adding “to those who broke the law, you will pay.”
