Jack Smith's team on the midnight train to Georgia

DOJ questions Raffensperger Wednesday for Trump election probe

Federal prosecutors examining former President Donald Trump’s efforts to cling to power following the 2020 election interviewed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Few other details about the meeting were available late Wednesday, including how long the parties met for, what exactly they discussed or whether Raffensperger was subpoenaed or agreed to speak voluntarily.

“Georgia is a national leader in election security, integrity, and access,” the Raffensperger spokeswoman said. “Failed candidates and their enablers have peddled false narratives about our elections for personal gain for a long time and the voters of Georgia aren’t buying it.”

Prosecutors working with Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith have also reached out to Chris Harvey, who served as Georgia’s elections director in the secretary of state’s office during the 2020 elections, according to a source with knowledge of the communication who was not authorized to speak on the record.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the meeting between Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger regarding Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference and why Jack Smith’s trip to Georgia is very bad news for Trump and his co-conspirators.

We know exactly what was said. We saw what he did and didn't do on 1/6/21, and the classified docs case is solid as a rock. NO WAY can he be trusted with our national security EVER!

I hope Trump isn't sleeping. I can see him wandering the halls of Maralago screaming at shadows on the wall. He has to be so unbalanced knowing the end may be near.

If he had never run for President none of this would've happened. He could've kept conning people with his frauds like Trump University and his failed businesses and lived his life of luxury.

Instead, his ego git the best of him. He had to be center stage and loved by his Magats. I have hope he will now face the reality (and consequences) for a lifetime of being a bad person.

The devil called down to Georgia, he was lookin' for some votes to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal.


And may he soon be held accountable for his attempts to steal the 2020 election from its rightful winner, Joseph R. Biden!
