As we wait for the political show trials of Donald Trump to begin, it's good to remember a hard and fast rule: Quotes and summaries of events reported by the corporate media are always either half wrong or deliberately misleading.
That "Twist" is an open letter Trump sent to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in September 2021, which was after the former president was out of office, thus supposedly undercutting the Trump team's assertion that the criminal charges are purely federal in nature, rather than addressable at the county court level.
The media enjoy short-handing that hourlong conversation as an effort by Trump to get the secretary of state to fabricate votes.
In the call, Trump is audibly frustrated nearly to the point of tears, which is a little embarrassing for him, but the pressure amounts to asking over and over again for Raffensperger and Georgia election officials to examine claims of mass voter fraud, which he believes will uncover enough votes in his favor.
At another point, Trump says, "No, they were 100 percent for Biden- 100 percent. There wasn't a Trump vote in the whole group. Why don't you want to find this, Ryan? What's wrong with you?".
The call ends with Trump stating, "We just want the truth," which he says is that, "I won by 400,000 votes, at least. That's the real truth. But we don't need 400,000 votes. We need less than 2,000 votes."
That's why the media will lie about the Trump political trials every single day.
