President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Thursday aggressively made the case for the Trump campaign’s legal challenge of the 2020 election results, alleging in a fiery news conference that there was a “centralized” plan to carry out voter fraud around the country.
While Giuliani did not present any direct evidence of a massive fraud scheme, Giuliani asserted that this is the “logical conclusion” reached as a result of incidents he said took place in several states.
His descriptions largely entailed recitations of allegations put forth in several lawsuits that the Trump campaign has filed.
Giuliani says the Trump legal team has obtained affidavits to support that at 4:30am a truck pulled up to the Detroit center where they were counting ballots & dropped an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 ballots that voted for Joe Biden only with no down-ticket voting. Many of them were triple counted in the machines.
The former New York City mayor spoke to incidents in Pennsylvania where Republican poll watchers claimed they were not allowed to observe the counting process because they were kept too far away. A judge had ruled in their favor and ordered that they be permitted six feet away from the counting at a center in Philadelphia, but that was overturned after officials appealed.
Meanwhile, Sidney Powell, known for representing Michael Flynn before Trump, began by claiming that the “massive influence of communist money through Venezuela, Cuba, and likely China” is the reason why Joe Biden won.
“The Dominion voting system, the Smartmatic software and the software that goes in other computerized voting systems as well, not just Dominion, were created in Venezuela at the direction of Hugo Chavez to make sure he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out.”
Giuliani also claimed that while Pennsylvania does not allow absentee voters to fix any errors with their ballots, some were given that opportunity — but not those from Republican areas.
Another affidavit said that in Michigan a supervisor instructed workers to change the dates on absentee ballots to show that they arrived earlier than they had. An affidavit also claimed that workers were told not to request photo identification from Michigan voters, even though state law requires it.
Giuliani clashed with a reporter on Thursday who asked him about the Trump campaign’s failed lawsuits.
“We’ve seen that a lot of your lawsuits and in fact lawyers have been dropping like flies,” the reporter said. “What do you think of people who call this RussiaGate 2.0? Just on the other side.”
Giuliani interrupted to ask what “fake network” the reporter came from, but she replied that she was independent.
“It’s not our case, ma’am,” Giuliani said. “Don’t lie to people! Ma’am, ma’am, ma’am, you are lying.”
He said he only had three lawsuits.
“You’re a totally discourteous person,” Giuliani remarked as the reporter continued to ask him questions.
“Where is the FBI?” Giuliani looks around the room to find hidden microphones. Says “we may need a new agency to protect us”.

So far just repeating claims that have gone no place in court… Also, Giuliani accused Biden of orchestrating this whole thing. And now some insult-machine is insulting the press and everyone that voted against Trump.
Sure sounds like a clear path to victory. Maybe in a Banana Republic.
This is the summary of the press conference:

As the Republican Attorney General of Georgia said. Stop playing with peoples emotions. Trump lost fair and square. His losses in court just help prove how baseless his fraud allegations really are
sheker nisht emes, Democrats used technology from Banana Republic to steal elections the way they do in a Banana Republic.
Facts matter.
Biden, Oct. 24: But one of the things that I think is most important is those who haven’t voted yet, first of all go to IWILLVOTE.com to make a plan exactly how you’re going to vote, where you’re going to vote, when you’re going to vote. Because it can get complicated, because the Republicans are doing everything they can to make it harder for people to vote — particularly people of color — to vote. So go to IWILLVOTE.com.
Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration — President Obama’s administration before this — we have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. What the president is trying to do is discourage people from voting by implying that their vote won’t be counted, it can’t be counted, we’re going to challenge it and all these things. If enough people vote, it’s going to overwhelm the system.
You see what’s happening now, you guys know it as well as I do, you see the long, long lines and early voting. You see the millions of people who have already cast a ballot. And so, don’t be intimidated. If in fact you have any, any problem go to — and I don’t have the number but it’s 833-DEM-VOTE… Call that number. We have over a thousand lawyers, over a thousand of them, they’ll answer the phone, if you think there’s any challenge to your voting. Go to 833-DEM-VOTE, dial those letters on your phone. That will get you the assistance that we have already put in place.
As usual, this is all lies. Here is the guidance that every county in PA got from their Secretary of State:
The Department of State has been asked whether county boards of elections can provide information to authorized representatives and representatives of political parties during the pre-canvass about voters whose absentee and mail-in ballots have been rejected. The Department issued provisional ballot guidance on Oct. 21, 2020, that explains that voters whose completed absentee or mail-in ballots are rejected by the county board for reasons unrelated to voter qualifications may be issued a provisional ballot. To facilitate communication with these voters, the county boards of elections should provide information to party and candidate representatives during the pre-canvass that identifies the voters whose ballots have been rejected and should promptly update the SURE system.
Some Republican counties chose to ignore this. And in any case the number of balllots in question is too small to affect the result.
Trump lost because he only cares for himself. He is withholding transition informaton even though he is endangering everyone as safek pekuch nefesh trumps shabbos.
Continuing to try to steal the election he lost by a wide margin. They can spew these lies in a driveway or at the White House, but not in court where they have failed miserably. This gaiveh is endangering the country.
So Rudy wanted $20,000/day to jump up and down and rant like the old guy who hangs out near the big shul on 14th avenue and 47th St screaming that you are going to gehenon but for a small donation he will share with you his “secret” information on how to get a special invite to gan eden. This comes a day after he made a fool of himself (and Trump) in a Pennsylvania courtroom where the judge reluctantly just released the recording of an incredibly dismal performance. It only took 10 days for them to tie it all together in tin foil package linking Biden, George Soros, a software company with links to Venezuela, and Republican and Democratic state AGs and election officials ALL working together in some grand conspiracy. For $20,000/day (and a few bits of schmaltz herring) my cat could provide more credible legal representation than Crazy Rudy.
If the Democrats manipulated ballots how did they lose so many House and Senate seats
All delusional brainwashed Democrats on this forum deny their own “El Presidente Elect” who admitted voter FRAUD on camera.
First the Four Seasons Total Landscaping and now the hair dye dripping down his face….
Honestly Guliani is a joke.
He couldn’t pour water out of a boot with instructions written on the heel.
Crooked stupid Democrats are denying Heist Of The History.
I cannot believe how stupid some of the comments here are.
(I advise to see the entire video – Matzav.com)
Do you realize that in WI and Detroit there was about 93% turnout??
Do you realize Biden performed worse than Clinton and worse than Obama with Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Women in every major metropolitan area – besides Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee etc. – all the swing states??
Do you realize the data clearly shows in multiple states (I’ve seen it myself) more than 70,000 votes in a row all for Biden – not even one for Trump??
Do you realize they actually kicked out (!!!) republicans for seeing the count??? (I’ve heard from one of them from Detroit) that’s “fare and square”??
Seeing these comments I feel like I live in Venezuela …
Fiery press conferences are easy to stage, but real lawyers save their fire for court rooms. If the stuff said at this conference were true, it should have been brought to court. Or maybe it was brought to court, where all Trump’s election lawsuits have been thrown out for want of credible evidence or sound legal positions.
MoisheInGolus – Well if the software changed the numbers then a recount or audit should turn that up. But Giuliani said the recount in (I think) Georgia won’t change anything because apparently the issue is not the count but which votes are counted… So I guess Giuliani first said the software was fine but he does not like that they counted votes for Biden and then the next person said the software is being used to cheat. I mean, arguing things that completely contradict itself in the BIG news conference that was going to lay out a path to victory. Oh, they also managed to tie in George Soros to the software… Don’t ask me. These conspiracy theories would make Hitler proud. Even Baghdad Bob seems honest compared to these jokers.
Trump screamed wolf in 2016, so he is not believed now.
Rt, Trump may have lost but by no means was it by a large margin. Even the most liberal media outlets have suggested that Dems underperformed, particularly with the House and Senate. Polls suggesting a landslide for Biden, were wrong again. Lastly, what exactly are you excited for with Biden? More pressure on Israel? Reentering the Iran agreement?
Maybe the liberals who voted for socialism and higher taxes can really move out of the country once Trump is re-inaugurated.
Everyone here is claiming that there is no evidence of fraud. There is also no evidence that no fraud occurred, beyond assurances from various interested officials and experts.
Evidence takes time to prove in court. Why are you all so sure that there is nothing to worry about?
There is plenty of circumstantial evidence that should be enough to concern everyone at least enough to attempt to fix the system instead of attacking supporters of Trump for undermining the legitimacy of the election process.
Actions such as limiting the access of poll observers is what severely damages the trust that people have in the elections. Why are democrats not demanding stronger regulations and stricter oversight?
Even if there is no evidence of fraud, I don’t see how anyone can deny that fraud is likely if there is no bipartisan supervision.
