Donald Trump Could Pressure Bill Clinton & Barack Obama To Force Joe Biden To Admit He Cheated, Author Says
Dec. 31 - Author Scott Fishman believes that Donald Trump should leverage the threat of intelligence declassification to pressure former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to force President-elect Joe Biden to admit he cheated in the 2020 election.
“If Barack Obama and the Clinton’s know President Trump will release ALL the dirt on them, they will consider urging Joe Biden to admit he cheated and concede,” Fishman tweeted on Wednesday morning.
Although Trump continues to cite alleged widespread electoral fraud for Biden’s victory, he has lost over 50 legal battles to date trying to prove his theory. Nevertheless, many Americans support the theory being pushed by him and his allies. Notably, an NPR/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday revealed that one-third of respondents believe that voter fraud helped Biden win. Elsewhere, a Rasmussen Reports poll revealed that almost half of Americans believe that the Democratic Party stole the election. continue to read

DECEMBER 31, 2020 | PART OF U.S. SENATE
U.S. SenateSenators McConnell and Schumer on Veto Override and Stimulus Checks
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) the Senate day by talking about the importance of finishing work on the fiscal year 2021 defense authorization. He also talked about the effort to increase COVID-19 stimulus checks to $2,000, reiterating his opposition to the plan and calling it “socialism for rich people.” Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke next, refuting some of Senator McConnell’s claims. He also tried to bring up a stand-alone bill to increase the checks to $2,000, which the majority leader objected to immediately.

Why January 6 Is a Key Date for Trump’s Election Gripes
Jan. 1 - The voters have spoken. So have the electors who, under America’s unique system, have the official job of choosing the next president. The U.S. Congress still has a role to play, one that’s usually mostly ceremonial, but this time around could mark one last attempt by loyalists to President Donald Trump to overturn the election of President-elect Joe Biden.
1. What is Congress’s role?
On Jan. 6, the Senate and House meet jointly to open and count certificates of electoral votes from the 50 states and the District of Columbia, in alphabetical order. The process is spelled out in great detail in the U.S. legal code, right down to the Jan. 6 date and the hour (1 p.m.) at which the joint session begins. The candidate who reaches 270 electoral votes is the winner. During the session, at which Vice President Mike Pence will preside, any member may object to the results from any individual state.
2. What might happen this time?
At least two House Republicans have said they either plan to make an objection to the declaration or that they support such an effort -- Mo Brooks of Alabama and incoming freshman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Asked in a Dec. 9 C-SPAN interview which state electors he plans to challenge, Brooks replied, “Well I’m not limiting myself, but by way of example, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin, maybe Arizona.” The question is whether any senator will take up the cause. If no senator does, then the process stalls out before it can even begin.
3. Will a senator go along?
That seemed unclear until Senator Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican, announced on Dec. 30 that he would raise an objection as well, mentioning Pennsylvania as one state whose election procedures troubled him. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had urged fellow Republicans not to object, saying it could hurt the party politically. Pence, as the presiding officer, could find himself in the awkward position of having to gavel down objections raised by supporters who would like nothing more than to keep him in office as vice president. continue to read
