In late December 2020, President Donald Trump engaged in a controversial phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The call, which was secretly recorded by Raffensperger’s office, became the center of a heated debate surrounding the 2020 presidential election. However, further investigation has revealed a web of deception and lies surrounding the call, raising serious questions about the integrity of those involved.
The Phone Call and Evidence of Election Irregularities
President Trump’s call to Secretary of State Raffensperger was prompted by concerns over potential election irregularities in the state of Georgia. The President believed there was ample evidence, uncovered by his auditors, that cast doubt on the certification of the election results. A competent auditor or a person of integrity would have recognized the significance of this evidence.
Secret Recording and Fraudulent Transcript
Secretary of State Raffensperger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, violating the trust of their conversation. However, their actions did not stop there. To further manipulate the narrative, Raffensperger’s office leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call to The Washington Post. This deceitful act aimed to damage President Trump’s reputation before the impending impeachment trial.
The Anonymous Source and False Quotes
The Washington Post, known for its left-leaning bias, published an anti-Trump hit piece on January 9th, relying on the fraudulent transcript provided by an anonymous source. Later, it was revealed that Jordan Fuchs, an aide to Raffensperger, was the source of the false quotes. This revelation exposed the malicious intent behind the leaking of the fraudulent transcript.
Deletion and Recovery of the Audio Recording
In an attempt to cover their tracks, Raffensperger’s office deleted the audio file of the phone call. However, their efforts to conceal the truth were in vain. The audio file was later discovered in the laptop’s “trash” folder, exposing their deceitful actions. This revelation sheds light on the character and integrity of those involved in the scandal.
Conflict of Interest and Lack of Assistance
Critics argue that Raffensperger’s office, including Jordan Fuchs, did not demonstrate helpfulness during investigations into the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Fuchs, who ran Raffensperger’s campaign for Secretary of State, is believed to have prioritized personal and political interests over transparency and fairness.
Investigation Based on Lies
District Attorney Fani Willis initiated an investigation into President Trump’s phone call based on the false information provided by Jordan Fuchs and Raffensperger. Despite being aware of the deception, they proceeded to indict President Trump and 18 of his associates. This raises serious concerns about the integrity and impartiality of the investigation.
