Speaking to a reporter on Capitol Hill on Wednesday , Sen. Lindsey Graham ( R-S.C. ) offered fervent support for the idea of appointing a special counsel to look into the Bidens .

On Wednesday , Graham suggested that the natural successor to support of the work of Special Counsel Robert Mueller would be support for a special @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but suggesting that there ’ s any kind of one-to-one relationship between the core issues is simply false .
Asked about whether he ’ d discussed the possibility with the president of a new special counsel to investigate the Bidens , Graham said that he had not , although he is “ absolutely calling on a special counsel to look at all things Hunter Biden to see if he presents a conflict for the Biden administration regarding his business dealings in Ukraine , which is overrun with Russian agents , and any activity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Graham further explained as follows : ‘ I think it ’ s a good idea… if you believe a special counsel was needed to look at the Trump world regarding Russia , how can you say that there is no need for a special counsel regarding Hunter Biden ?

Graham further explained as follows:

There’s no credible suspicion of any kind of Biden collusion with Russia, or any other foreign country, for that matter, although the Russia collusion scandal drove Mueller’s work. Mueller didn’t investigate the Trumps on the basis of some kind of political suggestion based on circumstantial evidence from Senators of a rival political party.
Issues like potential conflicts of interest don’t automatically demand the investigative work of a special counsel. Besides, entirely unlike the Trumps’ case, there’s no apparent legitimate proof of a connection between President-elect Joe Biden and the business that his family members have been involved in. Biden campaign spokesperson Andrew Bates has insisted that the now president-elect “has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever.”
During a recent post-election interview, Biden insisted that his family “will not be involved in any business, any enterprise, that is in conflict with or appears to be in conflict, with the appropriate distance from the presidency and government.” In sharp contrast, Trump himself has maintained a financial stake in his globe-spanning business for his entire presidency.


bipartisanreport--2020-12-17--Trump Criminal Prosecution Declaration Made By Congressman

On Wednesday , Rep. Bill Pascrell , Jr. , a New Jersey Democrat , called for a post-presidency criminal prosecution of outgoing President Donald Trump after he leaves office .
A slew of potential avenues lead to a Trump criminal prosecution covering a range of financial misdeeds .
Although his plans for future stages of his investigation aren ’ t immediately clear , Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance is conducting a criminal investigation into the Trump Organization ’ s business practices .
Pascrell insisted on Wednesday that “ Trump should be criminally prosecuted in 2021 because if he is not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s slide into lawlessness and authoritarianism may become irreversible.
” Trump ’ s behavior has greenlit waves of anti-democratic activism across the GOP , with numerous top Republicans jumping in with his fight against the election outcome .
No matter Trump ’ s bombastic claims of some kind of grand fraud conspiracy , this election fight isn ’ t based in any legitimate evidence and amounts to a fight against the fundamental democratic process in the United States .
In court , Trump ’ s team has sought the disenfranchisement of huge swathes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Wisconsin voters whose ballots that the Trump team targeted .

Election-related issues aren ’ t , of course , the only areas that Trump ’ s belligerence has affected .
In response to a post about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kansas to resign after facing serious threats over supporting a mandate to wear face masks , Pascrell observed on Twitter that “ Trump ’ s activation and encouragement of rightwing domestic terrorism aimed at mask mandates is threatening leaders ’ lives and lays out the violent nihilism of trumpism.

Trump’s behavior has greenlit waves of anti-democratic activism across the GOP, with numerous top Republicans jumping in with his fight against the election outcome. No matter Trump’s bombastic claims of some kind of grand fraud conspiracy, this election fight isn’t based in any legitimate evidence and amounts to a fight against the fundamental democratic process in the United States. In court, Trump’s team has sought the disenfranchisement of huge swathes of voters, like hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters whose ballots that the Trump team targeted. Trump’s team didn’t actually allege any voter fraud among these voters in this particular lawsuit, The New York Times explains — but the campaign wanted their ballots disqualified anyway. They alleged that authorities had mishandled election-related procedures, but these claims failed in state and federal courts in Wisconsin.
Election-related issues aren’t, of course, the only areas that Trump’s belligerence has affected. In response to a post about a decision from a Republican mayor in Kansas to resign after facing serious threats over supporting a mandate to wear face masks, Pascrell observed on Twitter that “Trump’s activation and encouragement of rightwing domestic terrorism aimed at mask mandates is threatening leaders’ lives and lays out the violent nihilism of trumpism.”

bipartisanreport--2020-12-16--NY AG James Puts The Squeeze On Trump With New Document Demand

New York state Attorney General Letitia James ( D ) , who is conducting a civil investigation into the Trump Organization ’ s business practices over potential financial misconduct , said on Wednesday that she ’ d written “ a letter to the White House today to remind the Trump administration that it must preserve and maintain all presidential records.

Earlier this month , plaintiffs including the government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington ( CREW ) sued the Trump administration , alleging that a policy allowing screenshots forwarded from personal accounts to function as official records is insufficient because of leaving out “ metadata , attachments , functionality , or other digital artifacts needed to authenticate the message , ” which the plaintiffs allege violates the demand in the Presidential Records Act for a “ complete record.
” The lawsuit read , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ With the approaching onset of a new president , much public attention has focused on the likelihood that President Trump , or White House personnel acting at his behest , will destroy records of his presidency before he leaves office , fearing the consequences to him and his legacy should they become public .

After Engoron ’ s recent ruling , James said that her office “ will immediately move to ensure that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s order and submits records related to our investigation.

bipartisanreport--2020-12-18--Federal Judge Deals Second Thursday Rejection To Georgia GOP

On Thursday , U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross rejected a Republican lawsuit challenging electoral procedures in Georgia in the second similar defeat for Georgia Republicans in a single day .
Georgia ’ s two incumbent Republican Senators , David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler , backed this second case in which plaintiffs sought to lower the threshold for setting aside mail-in ballots over concerns about signature matching , as POLITICO explained prior to the plaintiffs ’ defeat .
Under current rules , two out of three participating election workers need to agree that there ’ s an issue with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aside .
The plaintiffs sought to change Georgia ’ s rule to require just one of the three on-hand election workers to conclude that there is a signature issue before setting a ballot aside .
The net result of the Republican proposal could easily be higher numbers of unfairly scrutinized ballots .
Although under both the current system and the Republicans ’ proposed update , voters get a chance to “ cure ” ( meaning fix ) signature-related issues with their ballots , what if these voters miss notifications from authorities about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ class voters don ’ t even get reasonably enough time to “ cure ” their ballot before Election Day ?
In Thursday proceedings for the case with the support of Georgia ’ s two Senators , Perkins Coie attorney Amanda R. Callais , who was arguing on behalf of the Georgia Democratic Party , noted that “ voters will be burdened with an additional cure process or be disenfranchised ” in the event of a Republican victory in the case , as reporter Adam Klasfeld summarized .
Judge Ross concluded that the Republican @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have enough of an actual “ injury ” to grant them legal standing to bring the case in the first place .
The “ alleged potential future injury to the candidates is far too speculative to substantiate an injury in fact , ” the judge observed , concluding that the “ court does deny plaintiffs ’ emergency motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction and grants defendants ’ consolidated motion to dismiss , ” marking another GOP defeat .
In Thursday ’ s earlier dismissal of a Republican lawsuit over electoral procedures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hall observed that Election Day for the ongoing Senate run-off elections in the state was far too imminent to appropriately allow for the changes that plaintiffs were seeking .
Late-stage challenges to electoral procedures have been a repeating theme of the Republican fight against the electoral process in the United States .
In one recently rejected Wisconsin case , the Trump campaign sought the invalidation of hundreds of thousands of ballots on the basis of an allegation that local authorities had mishandled the election .
That particular case didn ’ t even allege @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , The New York Times noted — but the Trump campaign wanted to kick those voters out of the process anyway .

The Atlantic City, New Jersey casino had become an eye-sore and with a burst of inspiration born out of a COVID-19 virus shutdown, the city decided to turn it into a fundraiser. The funds will go to benefit the Boys & Girls Club, and Mayor Marty Small has hopes that the event will bring in over one million dollars.

Mayor Marty Small said:
‘Some of Atlantic City’s iconic moments happened there, but on his way out, Donald Trump openly mocked Atlantic City, saying he made a lot of money and then got out. I wanted to use the demolition of this place to raise money for charity.’
The Boys & Girls Club hired a professional auction company and turned the bid solicitation over to it. Bids will be open through January 19. At that time, the winning bids will be announced. At that point, a live auction will decide the winner for the Boys & Girls Club:
‘The organization provides after-school and summer recreation, education and career-training programs for Atlantic City children and teens.’

According to sources for Fox Business, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance has discussed the potential creation of a so-called “special task force” to examine issues related to Trump’s “business dealings and how they were accounted for in tax documents and for insurance purposes, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.” Vance has already been conducting a criminal investigation into the Trump Organization’s business practices. Originally, his investigation hinged on the company’s involvement in an illegal hush money scheme targeting women with whom Trump had affairs, but more recently, details have emerged indicating that he’s been examining other issues, like potential fraud.
Vance’s potential task force “would mean a significant increase in resources and personnel dedicated to the investigation, which has been going on for months,” Fox Business explains, and sources reportedly explained to the outlet that the team “would include lawyers and staffers whose only job would be to investigate Trump’s business dealings.” Besides Vance’s investigation, New York Attorney General Letitia James has been investigating the Trump Organization’s business practices in a civil probe.

According to Fox Business, sources indicate that the prospective task force in Vance’s office “would likely be formed around the time Trump leaves office on Jan. 20 and becomes a private citizen.” Justice Department precedent has largely excluded the possibility of criminal proceedings against Trump while he’s been in office, but he’ll be a private citizen again soon. Theoretically, concern about potential future criminal proceedings over his well-documented shady activities could be helping drive Trump’s maniacal and entirely doomed attempt to stay in power.

Some of those live right on Capitol Hill. This week, the Grim Reaper McConnell made the near-fatal mistake of agreeing Biden had won. Trump was furious.
One of Trump’s pets is Representative Mo Brooks (R-AL), according to AL.com (Alabama) The representative wants to kill Biden’s win by overturning the Electoral College win and hand it to his master.

McConnell told his caucus to stay far away from Trump’s problem, according to The New York Times. Apparently, Tuberville could care less. Conversely, the House jumped in with both feet. Brooks gave The Politico interview, where he said:
‘I find it unfathomable that anyone would acquiesce to election theft and voter fraud because they lack the courage to take a difficult vote on the House or Senate floor. Last time I checked, that’s why we were elected to Congress.’

On Thursday , federal Judge James Randal Hall rejected a lawsuit from Georgia Republicans who challenged electoral procedures in the state ahead of Election Day for Georgia ’ s ongoing Senate run-off races .
In the lawsuit , the Republican plaintiffs wanted “ to block the use of drop-boxes for submitting absentee ballots , roll back signature review guidance and prevent county election administrators from opening ballots until Election Day , ” POLITICO explains .

’ In the aftermath of Election Day for the general election , Trump allies have feverishly complained about an update to the signature verification process for mail-in ballots in Georgia .
The update demands that two out of three election officials conclude that a submitted signature doesn ’ t match one on file for a particular voter before setting the ballot aside .
Trump has claimed that signature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even occurred in the state , but that ’ s simply untrue .

bipartisanreport--2020-12-17--Updated Georgia Early Voting Data Shows Good News For America

Early voting data from the Georgia Senate run-off elections reveals an apparent high level of enthusiasm in the lead-up to Election Day , which is January 5 .
The Senate elections in Georgia will determine control of the chamber , because if Democrats win both races , then the Senate will be 50-50 — but vice presidents break ties , and the next vice president will be Kamala Harris .
As of early Thursday , about 914,000 Georgians had already voted early in the Senate elections .
On Tuesday alone , about 167,000 Georgians cast their ballots , which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the first day of early voting , which opened on Monday .
In terms of which party members were casting these ballots , Democrats led on both day one and day two of early voting for the Senate elections .
Back in October , when early voting opened in Georgia for the general election , turnout was significantly lower on the first two days .
On the second day of early voting in October , only about 129,000 Georgians cast their ballots , The New York Times ‘ s Nate Cohn shares @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the final outcome of the Senate races based on initial early voting numbers are difficult .
Apparently , about 98 percent of the earliest early voters from the first two days turned out for the general election , meaning that the initial surge didn ’ t reflect a surge of new voters .
President-elect Joe Biden narrowly won Georgia by about 12,000 votes , so the Senate races could be close , and every slight shift in the electorate could make a potentially seismic difference .
Biden himself recently campaigned in Georgia on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democratic Senate candidates , Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff , who are running against incumbent Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue , respectively .
Biden harshly criticized Loeffler and Perdue for their support of a lawsuit in which Texas and numerous allies sought the invalidation of the election outcome in four states where Biden won , including Georgia .
Biden mockingly suggested to the crowd of Georgians that maybe Loeffler and Perdue “ were just confused ” and “ think they represent Texas.
” In sharp contrast , Biden noted that Warnock and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump first ” and “ won ’ t put themselves first , either.
” Instead , “ They ’ ll put you first , the people of Georgia , ” Biden told the crowd .
Control of the Senate could have significant ramifications for the next two years .
Democratic leadership in the chamber could mean an easier path for Democratic legislative agenda items like expanded healthcare and critical COVID-19 relief for people across America .

Early voting data from the Georgia Senate run-off elections reveals an apparent high level of enthusiasm in the lead-up to Election Day, which is January 5. The Senate elections in Georgia will determine control of the chamber, because if Democrats win both races, then the Senate will be 50-50 — but vice presidents break ties, and the next vice president will be Kamala Harris. As of early Thursday, about 914,000 Georgians had already voted early in the Senate elections. On Tuesday alone, about 167,000 Georgians cast their ballots, which was about the same level of early voting as the first day of early voting, which opened on Monday. In terms of which party members were casting these ballots, Democrats led on both day one and day two of early voting for the Senate elections.
Another big day of early voting in Georgia: 167k voted yesterday, about the same as Monday and up from 129k on the second day of early voting in October — Nate Cohn (@Nate_Cohn) December 16, 2020
Back in October, when early voting opened in Georgia for the general election, turnout was significantly lower on the first two days. On the second day of early voting in October, only about 129,000 Georgians cast their ballots, The New York Times‘s Nate Cohn shares. Cohn suggests that conclusive predictions about the final outcome of the Senate races based on initial early voting numbers are difficult. Apparently, about 98 percent of the earliest early voters from the first two days turned out for the general election, meaning that the initial surge didn’t reflect a surge of new voters. President-elect Joe Biden narrowly won Georgia by about 12,000 votes, so the Senate races could be close, and every slight shift in the electorate could make a potentially seismic difference.
Biden himself recently campaigned in Georgia on behalf of the state’s two Democratic Senate candidates, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, who are running against incumbent Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, respectively. Biden harshly criticized Loeffler and Perdue for their support of a lawsuit in which Texas and numerous allies sought the invalidation of the election outcome in four states where Biden won, including Georgia. Biden mockingly suggested to the crowd of Georgians that maybe Loeffler and Perdue “were just confused” and “think they represent Texas.” In sharp contrast, Biden noted that Warnock and Ossoff “won’t put Donald Trump first” and “won’t put themselves first, either.” Instead, “They’ll put you first, the people of Georgia,” Biden told the crowd.
Control of the Senate could have significant ramifications for the next two years. Democratic leadership in the chamber could mean an easier path for Democratic legislative agenda items like expanded healthcare and critical COVID-19 relief for people across America.

This is remarkable to watch. After a legal threat from Smartmatic, @LouDobbs tonight ran a stunning point-by-point fact check debunking claims made about the company by himself and guests he's invited on his program. https://t.co/PaFvqsgsQn — Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) December 18, 2020
On Friday night, one of Dobb’s most common claims about the 2020 elections caught up to him, which relates to a conspiracy around Smartmatic vote counting machines due to their connection with Dominion vote counting machines because they have a connection to the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Dobbs and others on Fox News and Fox Business have claimed that these machines changed votes in key states across the country in a widespread conspiracy to unseat Donald Trump.
Friday night’s broadcast featured Dobbs airing a segment debunking all of the conspiracies he’s promoted about Smartmatic vote counting machines. According to Mediaite, Dobbs began the segment by saying that:
‘There are lots of opinions about the integrity of the election, the irregularities of mail-in voting, of election voting machines and voting software. One of the companies is Smartmatic, and we reached out to one of the leading authorities on open source software for elections, Eddie Perez, for his insight and views.’
What follows is Eddie Perez, Global Director of Technology Development & Open Standards for the Open Source Election Technology Institute, saying that he had seen no evidence that any widespread inaccuracies in vote counting had occurred because of Smartmatic’s equipment, that the company has no connection to Dominion, and that it is not even possible for Smartmatic to change votes in swing states since they were only used in L.A. County. Dobbs did not make further comment when the segment ended.

The segment aired after news of a legal threat against Fox News due to comments about the company made by TV personalities like Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo as well as Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and ousted attorney Sydney Powell. In a letter from attorneys for Smartmatic USA Corp, the company responded to the claims made on Fox News and Fox Business:
‘Fox News has engaged in a concerted disinformation campaign against Smartmatic. Fox News told its millions of viewers and readers that Smartmatic was founded by Hugo Chávez, that its software was designed to fix elections, and that Smartmatic conspired with others to defraud the American people and fix the 2020 U.S. election by changing, inflating, and deleting votes. While Fox News holds itself out as a trusted news source, it has continually and repeatedly published demonstrably false information and defamatory statements about Smartmatic. Fox News used its anchors and on-air guests, including Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, to spread lies about a company that had absolutely nothing to do with the voting that took place in areas at the heart of the “conspiracies” discussed following the 2020 U.S. election.’

These claims are damaging to the country and unfairly put companies that sell vote counting equipment at repetitional risk. Undermining faith in American democracy will have long-lasting consequences, although Smartmatic may not be around to see those consequences. Antonio Mugica, chief executive of Smartmatic, which is based in Florida, told Reuters that Trump and his minions’ actions are harming the business he’s a part of, with smaller companies new to the industry “dead in the water” thanks to the blow to consumer confidence.
‘I don’t think there is one customer in the world that has not come back to us to tell us either that this is a problem and this could endanger our future relationship – for existing customers – or that this could endanger a potential new contract.’
