Did we learn anything new from Rudy Giuliani's press conference today?
Rudy provided what would be a damming list of election errors, inconsistencies and fraud, which would leave a dark cloud of doubt hanging over the entire election process, that, regardless of what happened in the courts, would lead to a substantial proportion of US citizens refusing to accept a Biden win, and which could have unthinkable consequences, except for one comment he made.
When asked by a journalist at his news coverage for the evidence he had to support the raft of claims he made Rudy responded "I would love to release all the information I have. I would love to give it to you all, except most of you wouldn't cover it. A few of you would. Then we would have half of the American people properly informed”.
For Trump supporting Republican voters, this should be all you need to see through this complex, convoluted web of lies spun by your President and his lawyer that is a direct attack on the very constitutional rights you are defending so stoically.
Don't ignore the fact that 99% of the world's media is calling Trump out for his lies. Stop reading the same media that Trump is building his case from and look at what the world is saying. The Democrats don't have the power or the reach to have the world's media on their payroll. If you want an unbiased, non partisan perspective on what's happening in the USA, look outside the USA for these sources
Don't dismiss the 32 out of 33 court cases that Trump has filed and failed in. Your separation of powers enshrouded in your Constitution and legislation has not been spectacularly hijacked, nor has the US judiciary become a partisan Democratic movement overnight.
Consider why Republican leaning legal representatives and firms representing your President's claims before the courts have independently withdrawn their services immediately before having to present their case before the courts. There are no democratic threats of not getting work that they would run scared from. They have 47% of the population who would continue to support them, even more so by representing the President. This would have been their minute of fame propelling them and their firms into the lofty stratosphere of the legal fraternity if they had even the outline of a plausible case to present. No lawyer would pass up this opportunity for fame and fortune.
Most of all though, think carefully about Giuliani's response to providing the press with his evidence.
There is no truth in his statement only some would cover it. Every media outlet would publish it. Sure, many may try and debunk it, and provide alternate evidence or opinion on it, but they all would release it, and Rudy knows this.
Even if most media didn't publish it, anyone with any interest, which has to be the overwhelming majority of US citizens, would simply find it by going to one of the media sources who did publish it, and Rudy knows this also.
Let's say I'm wrong on both these points, and only half of Americans will be informed. So what? How does this in any way diminish the value of providing evidence for the claims that are made?
It is not because Trump's case will be diminished before the courts. In statements he has to provide the court and the other side with this information as discovery of the evidence prior to proceedings for it to be admissible.
If the substance is published and supports the claims, it's game over. The divided opinions will swing in Trump's favor. The world's media will get behind Trump's demands. The government's of the free world will agitate for the wrongs to be righted and for the rightful party to rule the US. Guiliani knows this is also true. He also knows he has no evidence, only convoluted, unsubstantiated rhetoric.
Your President is prosecuting the most deceitful, dangerous, divisive and treasonous attack on the very fabric of your society, for the benefit of himself, and he has shown he does not give-a-fuck about you, your nation or your Constitution and rights. This is only about Donald Trump.
He will continue to tear apart your nation if you let him. Please consider carefully the allegiance you have given him, because your belief in his claims is the oxygen fueling the fire that is burning at the very foundations of your great nation. I'm not suggesting you abandon your Republican conservative values, in fact I'm suggesting that you apply these very same values to protect your country and community from this existential threat and reject your President's dangerous and divisive rhetoric.

I know you didn't write this so I expect this is an exercise. As an independent thinker my views run from a bit left of Mao to a bit right of Birch but I happen to believe the Democrat's did steal this election and I do see this country on the slow steady path to Socialism as Kruschev had predicted. Way too many American's have gotten lazy and are easily led. As for the 'leaders of the free world' I'm sure they're happy to see Trump leave since he actually expected them to pay their own way since they too had gotten used to free stuff. Nobody want's to admit that someone always has to pay for the 'free stuff'. As Alexander Tyler wrote back in the late 1700's "A Republic will fail once the people learn that they can vote themselves free gifts from the public treasury".
