Republican senators need to tell their Republican voters “You are being lied to, and Donald Trump is conning you.

The president’s most senior cybersecurity expert Chris Krebs had to sacrifice his job to tell this truth, that this election was “the most secure in American history,” according to The New York Times.
It seems that Republican senators are afraid of Trump’s core voters. Their dilemma is how do we stay on good terms with our voters and this grand democratic experiment? POTUS has attempted to commit wholesale disenfranchisement in parts of states where there is the greatest number of black and brown voters. As President Barack Obama said there is “Truth decay.” POTUS is the king of alternative facts. Trump is getting more and more dangerous.
Fortunately, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has rejected the Trump campaign’s lawsuit challenging 8,329 absentee ballots in Philadelphia. These ballots did not include “certain info on the envelope AND reversed an order that invalidated 2,349 ballots in Allegheny County for the same reason:”

Zoe Tillman is a senior reporter for The Buzzfeed News, and she tweeted that the Trump campaign claimed that counties had to omit ballots with “missing voter info on the outer envelope:”
‘This was a set of cases where the Trump campaign argued counties could not count absentee ballots with facial deficiencies (e.g. missing voter info on the outer envelope) — and they explicitly did *not* allege fraud.’
Tillman continued, saying “they explicitly did *not* allege fraud.” Omitting some information was not the same thing as fraudulent intent:
‘…failures to include a handwritten name, address or date in the voter declaration on the back of the outer envelope, while constituting technical violations of the Election Code, do not warrant the wholesale disenfranchisement of thousands of Pennsylvania voters.’
Tillman continued indicating that four members of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court “partially dissent:”
‘Four members of the PA Supreme Court partially dissent, explaining they believe that absentee ballots should be rejected if they’re missing a date with the voter’s signature https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7332290/11-23-20-Wecht-PA-Supreme-Court-Concurrence.pdf… and https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7332291/11-23-20-Dougherty-Concurring-and-Dissenting.pdf…‘

Oh, that Donald Trump would take his own advice. Instead, he takes the advice of Carrots. Remember Carrots? He was the turkey that came to the White House two years ago. That was where the president began his descent into a vat of hot gravy.
Presidents have their very own flock stock of turkeys, birds that are so dumb they will actually drown in a rainstorm. POTUS described the battle between Carrots and Peas on the White House Gobble page:
‘This was a fair election… unfortunately, Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount. We’re still fighting with Carrots, And I will tell you, we’ve come to a conclusion: Carrots, I’m sorry to tell you, the results did not change. Too bad for Carrots.’
Given that no one in the office speaks Gobble, we cannot tell whether Carrots was still fiercely demanding we acknowledge that his election was rigged, too. However, it is clear that Trump is doing so. There is some word that Trump intends a quiet exit with the turkeys. When asked for a comment, the turkeys just looked at one another, puzzled. Apparently, Trump has not discussed his escape plan with the two birds.
Carrots and Peas ended up at Virginia Tech’s Gobblers Rest exhibit in Blacksburg, Virginia. Veterinarians and students there in Virginia Tech’s Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences watch over the pardoned turkeys.
The year of 2020 National Thanksgiving Turkey in the straw draw is between Corn and Cob, a White House statement read.
Check out the video of Trump’s 2018 pardon below:
‘FLASHBACK: In 2018, President Trump attacked Carrots the turkey for refusing to concede he had lost the vote on the White House turkey pardon contest. ‘This was a fair election… unfortunately, Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount.’

On November 24, the president will perform the official White House turkey pardon:
‘Corn and Cob were raised by Ron Kardel, National Turkey Federation Chairman and a 6th generation turkey, corn, and soybean farmer from Walcott, Iowa. Polls will remain open for 24 hours for Americans to vote online, between feathered candidates, “Corn” and “Cob.”’
President Trump pardoned last year’s National Thanksgiving Turkey in the Rose Garden ceremony. After the ballots were counted, Butter, won in a close vote over his competitor, Bread.
The 2019 National Turkey Federation Chairman Kerry Doughty and grower Wellie Jackson accompanied Bread and Butter to our Nation’s capital from North Carolina.
Both turkeys joined 2018’s contestants, Peas and Carrots, at Virginia Tech’s Gobblers Rest exhibit in Blacksburg, Virginia. There was some gossip that the two would be appearing in joke memes.
Peas and Carrots came to Washington from South Dakota. They were raised on a farm under the supervision of National Turkey Federation Chairman Jeff Sveen and turkey grower Ruben Waldner.
Who knew that the Presidential Flock was trained from chickhood in a number of ways.
‘[They are] acclimated to the sounds of a crowd, bright camera lights, and having to stand comfortably on a table during the presentation. The turkeys will also prepare for their visit by interacting with children and families on stops around the Huron community.’
The special turkey flock was hatched in July. That was where Peas and Carrots began their climb to stardom. They were selected to travel to Washington, D.C.:
‘The “Presidential Flock” is raised much in the same way as turkeys marketed for U.S. customers—protected from weather extremes and predators in a barn, free to strut about with constant access to water and a feed mix of corn and soybeans.’
The two 2020 candidates receive the royal treatment, first resting at The Willard Hotel, where many presidential guests stay.
Historically, fowls have arrived at the White House to promote the fowl business:
‘[A]s early as the 1870s, sometimes arriving in elaborate crates and costumes. By the 1920s, the influx of these turkeys had increased so greatly that President Calvin Coolidge discouraged Americans from sending them, reported a 1923 New York Times article. Eventually, however, the tradition resumed, and President Coolidge received not only turkeys, but quail, ducks, geese, rabbits, and a deer.’ ‘The most unusual gift was a raccoon, which was not served for dinner but became a Coolidge family pet.’
The first to pardon a turkey was President George H. W. Bush to appease the animal rights activists picketing near the ceremony. The first National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation started in 1947. That was 73 years ago.

bipartisanreport--2020-11-23--Trump Jr. Has Delirious Monday Meltdown After Seeing Court Losses

Donald Trump Jr. is continuing his effort to cast himself as some kind of valiant defender of the “ freedoms ” of the Trump base or whatever , and in so doing , he ’ s publicly embarrassing himself , over and over again .
Every time that Donald Jr. tries to cast himself as something like a “ man of the people , ” it ’ s worth noting — he ’ s lived a life of financially secure privilege , to say the least .
On Monday , Trump Jr. “ joked ” on Twitter about burning houses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ large gatherings for Thanksgiving .
The deceptive implication is that destruction would put the Thanksgiving gatherings on par with the violent demonstrations that top Democrats supposedly at least somewhat supported .
It ’ s worth noting — Trump Jr. recently tested positive for COVID-19 , so if he personally had anyone over to his house , he might infect them with a deadly virus .
Trump Jr. posted the following rather unhinged Monday message : In reality , of course — the Trump team ’ s consistent claims that Democrats who expressed support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violent rioting are lies .

Check out Twitter ’ s response below :

Donald Trump Jr. is continuing his effort to cast himself as some kind of valiant defender of the “freedoms” of the Trump base or whatever, and in so doing, he’s publicly embarrassing himself, over and over again. Every time that Donald Jr. tries to cast himself as something like a “man of the people,” it’s worth noting — he’s lived a life of financially secure privilege, to say the least. On Monday, Trump Jr. “joked” on Twitter about burning houses down to get around COVID-19-induced restrictions on large gatherings for Thanksgiving. The deceptive implication is that destruction would put the Thanksgiving gatherings on par with the violent demonstrations that top Democrats supposedly at least somewhat supported.
It’s worth noting — Trump Jr. recently tested positive for COVID-19, so if he personally had anyone over to his house, he might infect them with a deadly virus. Trump Jr. posted the following rather unhinged Monday message:
‘Asking for a friend: If you burn your house down after having more than six people over for Thanksgiving can that be considered a “peaceful protest” rather than an illegal gathering? #Thanksgiving’
Asking for a friend: If you burn your house down after having more than six people over for Thanksgiving can that be considered a “peaceful protest” rather than an illegal gathering? #Thanksgiving — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) November 23, 2020
In reality, of course — the Trump team’s consistent claims that Democrats who expressed support for peaceful protests actually offered cover for violent rioting are lies. Top Democrats did no such thing. President-elect Joe Biden has repeatedly and consistently unequivocally condemned violence in all its forms, and Trump Jr. can’t just wish all of the actual, very real peaceful protests out of existence because they don’t fit his narrative. It’s worth noting — not only is the claim false that top Democrats were okay with violence, but the claim is also false that nobody or close to nobody on the generally liberal side of the spectrum acknowledged the potential for COVID-19 transmission at protests. Plenty of liberals openly acknowledged this possibility.
Meanwhile, Trump Jr. also complained on Twitter on Monday about the “thugs and criminals” who confronted Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on the streets of D.C. — although no one even seems to have laid a finger on him — and he also complained about some right-wingers who have suggested sitting out the upcoming Georgia Senate elections as some kind of “protest” against authorities who won’t take their ramshackle voter fraud claims seriously enough. Lin Wood, an attorney who was behind a recent court case seeking to block the certification of Georgia’s election results, is one of those who’ve made this suggestion for conservatives to sit out Georgia’s Senate elections.
Of course they won’t, they don’t want to be on the bad side of the thugs and criminals that did that to you. Now if I conservative did that to a liberal politician they’d all be in jail by now. https://t.co/7k7fjSOws7 — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) November 23, 2020

bipartisanreport--2020-11-23--New Zealand Prime Minister Calls Biden & Recognizes His Presidency

On Monday , New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that she offered assistance to President-elect Joe Biden on tackling the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States .
With a total population of about 4.9 million , across the entire pandemic , New Zealand has recorded just over 2,000 total COVID-19 cases and 25 COVID-19 deaths , as of Monday .
In contrast , as of that same point , the United States has recorded over 12 million COVID-19 cases and over 260,000 deaths .
New Zealand has imposed strict lockdown measures , while with Trump in charge , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say the least .
In New Zealand , Ardern said that she “ offered to [ Biden ] and his team access to New Zealand health officials in order to share their experience on things we ’ ve learnt on our Covid-19 journey , ” according to Reuters ; the outlet notes that New Zealand “ is widely heralded as one of most successful countries in suppressing COVID-19.
” Meanwhile , according to the Biden team ’ s account of the president-elect ’ s conversation with Ardern , Biden “ expressed his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” on fronts including the fights against both climate change and COVID-19 , both of which Trump has routinely refused to take as seriously as the situations demand .
Biden “ also praised the prime minister ’ s extraordinary leadership after the 2019 Christchurch massacre , on COVID-19 , and as a working mother and role model , ” his team says .
The Biden transition team has struggled to access domestic resources that they need in order to appropriately prepare to take over in January because of the refusal of the General @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to officially conclude that Biden won the election .
At present , no remotely reasonable pathway exists by which Trump could overturn enough of the election results to come close to handing himself a win — but the General Services Administration has declined to act .

On Monday, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said that she offered assistance to President-elect Joe Biden on tackling the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. With a total population of about 4.9 million, across the entire pandemic, New Zealand has recorded just over 2,000 total COVID-19 cases and 25 COVID-19 deaths, as of Monday. In contrast, as of that same point, the United States has recorded over 12 million COVID-19 cases and over 260,000 deaths. New Zealand has imposed strict lockdown measures, while with Trump in charge, the United States has hesitated around lockdowns — to say the least.
In New Zealand, Ardern said that she “offered to [Biden] and his team access to New Zealand health officials in order to share their experience on things we’ve learnt on our Covid-19 journey,” according to Reuters; the outlet notes that New Zealand “is widely heralded as one of most successful countries in suppressing COVID-19.” Meanwhile, according to the Biden team’s account of the president-elect’s conversation with Ardern, Biden “expressed his intent to strengthen the U.S.-New Zealand partnership” on fronts including the fights against both climate change and COVID-19, both of which Trump has routinely refused to take as seriously as the situations demand. Biden “also praised the prime minister’s extraordinary leadership after the 2019 Christchurch massacre, on COVID-19, and as a working mother and role model,” his team says.
The Biden transition team has struggled to access domestic resources that they need in order to appropriately prepare to take over in January because of the refusal of the General Services Administration, a federal agency, to officially conclude that Biden won the election. At present, no remotely reasonable pathway exists by which Trump could overturn enough of the election results to come close to handing himself a win — but the General Services Administration has declined to act.
Cooperation with those who’ve been successful in fighting the virus seems like a rather fundamental step, but could anyone outside of Trump’s base really imagine him taking something that another world leader said to heart if that leader didn’t pepper their remarks with obnoxious flattery? These days, as the U.S. struggles through yet another staggering surge of the virus, with strained hospital systems and rising death tolls across the country, Trump seems content to whine about the election on Twitter and play golf — and little else. His team has tried to garner praise for previously announced government financial support for the development of a COVID-19 vaccine, but this vaccine development support seems like a bare minimum.

bipartisanreport--2020-11-25--Nevada Judge Issues 37th Court Loss To GOP In Wednesday Rejection

Republicans seem quite adept at losing court cases .
The fight against the election results that Donald Trump and his allies have waged in the aftermath of Election Day has quickly turned into a long list of failures .
Now , Clark County District Court Judge Gloria Sturman has rejected a request from a failed Republican Congressional candidate for a new election .
The candidate — Dan Rodimer — lost by almost 3 percent in his race against Rep. Susie Lee , a Democrat , and in his court case , he pinned his request for a revote to allegations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an inability to track mailed ballots and that the use of an optical scanning machine to validate voter signatures was improper , ” according to the Associated Press .
Judge Sturman ’ s ruling against Rodimer emerged days after a similar ruling against another Republican Congressional candidate in Nevada , Jim Marchant , who also requested a new election .
Marchant and Rodimer ’ s cases have been handled by the same lawyer : Craig Mueller , whose record doesn ’ t exactly seem great at this point , to say the least @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Judge Sturman “ pointed to a 33,000-vote margin that Jim Marchant would have to make up to overtake U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford in the state ’ s most populous and Democratic-leaning county , and said she lacked jurisdiction to order do-overs in six other counties in the congressional district , ” according to the Associated Press .
That county in question is Clark County , which includes Las Vegas and has already been targeted by Trump allies .
At one point , prominent Trump ally Matt Schlapp held a press conference alongside fellow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where he claimed that a so-called whistleblower had seen individuals opening ballots and refilling the envelopes with presumably fraudulent ballots in a van marked with Biden/ Harris signage in the vicinity of a counting center .
There is absolutely zero meaningful evidence for this claim .
It ’ s 2020 — where is the video ?
Where is the security footage ?
Where are the other eyewitnesses to this same apparently broad daylight event ?
Why would fraud perpetrators have used a Biden/ Harris van in plain sight ?
Trump keeps insisting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can not simply speak this scenario into existence .
Claims along these lines need meaningful evidence that his team does not have .

bipartisanreport--2020-11-25--Obama To Stephen Colbert: Trump ‘Drinking His Own Kool-Aid’

Stephen Colbert came back to his show , tired and exhilarated , still high from the energy of interviewing President Barack Obama .
As the two men sat together , Colbert once again in a suit , it was clear that the Late Night Show host was thrilled to be talking to one of the nation ’ s favorite people .
President Obama was there to talk about his latest book , a memoir A Promised Land .
All 753 pages are available on Kindle .
After all , people would have to endure rigorous training to actually hold the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking about the last four years , but measured in his responses .
The comedian slumped in his chair , saying America ’ s posture “ was like a boned fish.
” President Obama agreed , the people were exhausted , tired from the political equivalent of a “ cage match every day.
” CBS ’ s Late Night Show started off with Colbert saying he wanted “ to drink you in for a moment ” on the YouTube version : ‘ I just want to take a moment to drink you in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m having to get used to looking at a president again .
I ’ ve gotten out of the habit .
I have to warm up for Joe Biden .

Stephen Colbert came back to his show, tired and exhilarated, still high from the energy of interviewing President Barack Obama. As the two men sat together, Colbert once again in a suit, it was clear that the Late Night Show host was thrilled to be talking to one of the nation’s favorite people.
President Obama was there to talk about his latest book, a memoir A Promised Land. All 753 pages are available on Kindle. After all, people would have to endure rigorous training to actually hold the physical book. Obama was quite comfortable talking about the last four years, but measured in his responses.
The comedian slumped in his chair, saying America’s posture “was like a boned fish.”
President Obama agreed, the people were exhausted, tired from the political equivalent of a “cage match every day.”
CBS’s Late Night Show started off with Colbert saying he wanted “to drink you in for a moment” on the YouTube version:
‘I just want to take a moment to drink you in for just a moment. Because I’m having to get used to looking at a president again. I’ve gotten out of the habit. I have to warm up for Joe Biden. I don’t want to pull anything when I see him take the oath of office.’
The president appeared relieved, too, by the election of President-elect Joe Biden:
‘We’ve got the potential of returning to a presidency that is actually paying attention and trying to do right by all people and not just some.’
Colbert was curious about what Obama thought of the Republican party as it now stands. He wondered whether the president was as startled by how the Republican legislators acted, as if they could not “see the advantage of acting as if they actually cared.”
President Obama responded:
‘I think that that is a measure of how detached from reality and how embedded ideological and conspiratorial thinking has become, where you’re doing it even when it’s to your disadvantage. And it is to the detriment of the country, but it also runs contrary to what would have been smart politics if the Republicans wanted to maintain the White House.’
The president continued:
‘And that in some ways is more troubling because now it’s no longer even strategic. You’re drinking your own Kool-Aid in a way that I think is troublesome. And one of the big challenges that Joe Biden is going to have is to figure out how to puncture that information bubble that, not just Republican officials, but a sizable portion of voters are in right now.’
The two men talked about family and the SARS-COVID-19 pandemic. The president said that he and former First Lady Michelle Obama enjoyed having their daughters home — not so sure about the daughters.
The Obama administration had left a full plan of action for dealing with the pandemic. Trump dumped it into the wastebasket. President Obama referred to Trump:
‘The shambolic nature of the government response obviously has been frustrating.’
Clearly unhappy with how Trump handled the coronavirus pandemic, Obama said it was “not rocket science:”
‘If we had done the work, which was not rocket science, we’re not talking about inventing vaccines — and I’m glad to see the vaccine is now coming on board. But, preliminarily communicating effectively, respecting the science, not undermining the leading epidemiologist in the country and saying he’s an idiot, being consistent in terms of masks and social distancing. Not suggesting that this is some act of oppression, but rather a common sense thing to prevent people from getting sick. Had we just taken those steps, there is no doubt that we would have saved some lives, and ironically, the economy would be better.’
The CBS show’s host asked Obama how he felt when he and Trump were sitting in the White House, photographed right after the 2016 election. Colbert said personally, it was “a chilling moment.”
Colbert said he experienced an “emotional flash,” looking ahead to a grim future of how many ways this new guy could “abuse the office.” He asked:
‘Were you having a similar feeling in that moment?’
Obama replied:
‘Yeah, it was a concern.’
Colbert paused for a brief moment and then asked if his concerns were “borne out.” Without hesitation, President Obama replied:
‘Exceeded.’

bipartisanreport--2020-11-25--Trump Calls Into PA Election Results Hearing & Melts Down

Trump continues to push nonsensical and dangerously deranged conspiracy theories about the election .
His conspiracy theories make him sound stunningly willfully ignorant of the political and electoral processes that are at work around him .
During a Wednesday hearing in Pennsylvania about the election results , Trump called in , claiming that post-Election Day changes to vote tallies in Biden ’ s favor are automatically dubious because of their timing — which is wildly ignorant .
Authorities have long spent awhile after Election Day counting ballots , and the Democratic tilt of many mail-in ballots — many of which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not a mystery .
Donald Trump himself spent months complaining about mail-in voting prior to Election Day , and his supporters listened .
During the Pennsylvania hearing , Trump said , in part , as follows : ‘ This was an election that we won easily .
We won it by a lot… This election was rigged , and we can ’ t let that happen .
We can ’ t let it happen for our country , and this election has to be turned around , because we won Pennsylvania by a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these swing states by a lot .
Anybody watching television the night of the election was saying wow — I was called by the biggest political people : congratulations , sir , on a big win .
And all of a sudden , ballots were dumped all over the place , and a lot of horrible things happened.
’ The total disconnection of Trump ’ s comments from meaningful truth feels difficult to overstate .
He ’ s unequivocally wrong .
The election was not “ rigged , ” and ballots were not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
The ballots are there .
Republican observers ( contrary to the president ’ s claims of systematic GOP exclusion ) watched the tabulation process .
Also — odds are , those “ biggest political people ” who supposedly called to congratulate Trump for winning even though many votes remained to be counted were likely already Trump sycophants .
Subsequently , Trump claimed that “ we have many , many cases ” of voters arriving at polling places and finding that ( ostensibly fraudulent ) ballots had already been cast in their names @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for this claim .
Trump also pointed out that this time around , his campaign got more votes than Ronald Reagan did when he swept the country and won 49 states — but Reagan was in office decades ago .
The U.S. population has increased rather starkly since Reagan was president .
As such , numbers of registered voters have also increased .
This concept is not complicated .

The total disconnection of Trump’s comments from meaningful truth feels difficult to overstate. He’s unequivocally wrong. The election was not “rigged,” and ballots were not “dumped” — they were counted! The ballots are there. Republican observers (contrary to the president’s claims of systematic GOP exclusion) watched the tabulation process. Also — odds are, those “biggest political people” who supposedly called to congratulate Trump for winning even though many votes remained to be counted were likely already Trump sycophants.
Subsequently, Trump claimed that “we have many, many cases” of voters arriving at polling places and finding that (ostensibly fraudulent) ballots had already been cast in their names. There’s no meaningful evidence for this claim. Trump also pointed out that this time around, his campaign got more votes than Ronald Reagan did when he swept the country and won 49 states — but Reagan was in office decades ago. The U.S. population has increased rather starkly since Reagan was president. As such, numbers of registered voters have also increased. This concept is not complicated.
Later, Trump added the following lie:
‘This election was lost by the Democrats. They cheated. It was a fraudulent election.’
Watch Trump’s unhinged comments below:
"Why wouldn't they overturn the election?" asks the president pic.twitter.com/wGGgJKdBEO — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 25, 2020
In order to successfully perpetrate the fraud scheme that Trump and his allies allege unfolded, the fraudsters could have required the cooperation of: county canvassing boards, state canvassing boards, supervisor of elections offices, Secretary of State offices, frontline election workers, observers from both major political parties… and the list goes on. The meaningful evidence for Trump’s claims just is not there.
Trump’s refusal to concede the election doesn’t mean that Joe Biden won’t become president — concession is just a formality. The federal General Services Administration has certified Biden as the president-elect, clearing the way for his team to access federal resources.


bipartisanreport--2020-11-25--Trump Sees Failed ‘Hearing’ & Erupts Into Afternoon Rage

Trump is right on one count : 2020 is far from over with Trump in the White House .
A child , sulking , resentful lame duck president is a dangerous thing , and it will be another 57 days until Americans no longer have to worry every day about what the thin-skinned president might be doing .
But 2020 will end , and in 2021 , Trump will no longer be president , no matter what he ’ s convinced his followers to believe .
The story about Trump referring to fallen soldiers as “ suckers ” and “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Members of Trump ’ s White House staff came forward to deny it , but none of them were present for the conversations that were reported .
In fact , the only person present alongside Trump for once of those instances with former chief of staff John Kelly , and he has so far refused to deny it .
There was no rigged election .
Trump is just having a very hard time admitting that he lost and is looking for every excuse , each of which have been knocked down in court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Twitter was quick to remind Trump that he lost and that they are thrilled about it .

The story about Trump referring to fallen soldiers as “suckers” and “losers” has not been debunked. Members of Trump’s White House staff came forward to deny it, but none of them were present for the conversations that were reported. In fact, the only person present alongside Trump for once of those instances with former chief of staff John Kelly, and he has so far refused to deny it.
There was no rigged election. Trump is just having a very hard time admitting that he lost and is looking for every excuse, each of which have been knocked down in court. 2021 cannot come soon enough.

A Trump campaign official has attempted to deny that the campaign has any responsibility for the debt. This official claimed as follows:
‘It is the U.S. Secret Service, not the campaign, which coordinates with local law enforcement. The campaign itself does not contract with local governments for police involvement. All billing inquiries should go to the Secret Service.’
In reality, according to a summary from The Philadelphia Inquirer from earlier this year, “the Secret Service does not pay for police overtime associated with protective visits,” according to a Secret Service spokesperson.
These days, the Trump campaign — or what’s left of it, at least — seems a lot more focused on its potentially pricey legal battles against the election results than on settling its outstanding debts. Reportedly, top Trump ally Rudy Giuliani, who recently joined the Trump campaign’s legal team in a Pennsylvania fight, wanted a whopping $20,000 a day, although The New York Times reports that exact details of how much Giuliani may actually be getting paid are unclear.
Giuliani hasn’t exactly been some kind of boon of success for the Trump team. The Pennsylvania case hasn’t really gone anywhere but down — recently, federal Judge Matthew Brann dismissed the case, and although the Trump team has rushed to appeal, in the meantime, Brann characterized the case as full of “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations.”
