Gov. Kemp is not having this circus of lies Trump want to perform.

Georgia's Republican governor responded to that with his own social media post declaring, "The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen. For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward -- under oath -- and prove anything in a court of law.”

ptsdstillinmymind,

Kemp ain’t no better. He is an asshole too

flossdaily,

REPUBLICAN* Gov. Kemp.

AND, He put out that response IMMEDIATELY when Trump announced his latest attack on reality.

Where Trump is concerned, almost all Republicans do anything they can to weasel out of criticizing Trump, even when asked.

Hell, even Chris Christie, who is building his presidential campaign on attacking Trump, always pulls his punches when it comes to Trump going to prison. He said Georgia shouldn’t have indicted him. He said New York shouldn’t have indicted him… He says Trump’s conduct was unpresidential, but will not say what we all know: Donald Trump belongs in prison.

Kemp is on his second term and doesn't need Trump or his base. And while he's certainly a bit of a shit, he probably doesn't love the idea of his state government being accused of blatant corruption or incompetence (to say nothing of there perhaps being a small shred of respect for democracy buried somewhere deep in him)

Christie just wants reduced punishment for people on power for when he gets caught with something similar.

Izzgo,

I think he wants to tempt wavering Trump voters.

athos77,

Yeah, but Kemp also claimed that elections in Georgia are entirely fair, after blatantly meddling in Georgia's elections in order to become governor.

Yeah, the man definitely doesn’t want people really investigating whether the GA elections were tampered with, because when you open that box who knows which way the shit will fly.

Everyone already knows about rhe gerrymandering and voter suppression.

takeda,

I think it is quite obvious which way the shit would fly. He doesn't want his very own investigation.

He might have the right to remain silent, but it is clear he doesn't have the ability.

Tylerdurdon,

I’m okay with this. I look forward to the day when I can look back on this as a distant memory of a tumultuous time. Right now, I just don’t want to hear about the orange idiot anymore, even though it will be worse before it gets better.

athos77,

Remember when the Republicans claimed that having Trump interviewed by Mueller was a "perjury trap"? And last week, his lawyers were claiming that orders for him to not try to intimidate witnesses against him was a "contempt trap". Man is incapable of keeping his mouth shut, and just as incapable of telling the truth.

Needs to keep his trap shut

Unaware7013,

Normal tasks that non-insane people can complete are always traps for trump. Probably because his mind is like a steel trap - a steel trap that's been left in the forest for a century, is rusted to hell and no longer closes.

Behaviorbabe,

No…no…let him talk! popcorn

See, this is what happens when you don’t arrest the idiots guilty of dozens of crimes. They forget what their rights are. and what they aren’t.

robbotlove,

lmao fucking do it you coward

Nougat,

What I'm expecting for Monday: Trump climbs into the Starship Heart of Gold and activates the Infinite Improbability Drive.

LordTrychon,

Zaphod>>>>>>>>Trump.

It’s just part of the script. Of course he has no proof. This just let’s him continue making that absurd claim and when anyone asks for the proof, he can just say his lawyers won’t let him reveal it.

div,

There it is, always a scapegoat for the actual truth. Its always delay, delay ,delay and when the final deadline comes, blame the opponent for not being able to bring the truth.

curt,

I don't think Trump's lawyers have anything to worry about. If Trump had anything to prove his innocence, he would have brought it out a long time ago. He may even say he has all this great evidence, but now his lawyers won't let him produce it so you'll just have to trust him.

curt,

From George Takai today on Mastodon:

We’ll see this “irrefutable proof” that Trump won the 2020 election around the same time as his tax returns. He now says that instead of releasing the YUGE report Monday, he’ll produce it at trial. Which he wants to start in April of 2026. Who else sees the con?

We'll just have to wait two and half years.

I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it's because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything's fine, it's all a sham.

He'll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told 'the truth' and all, and he'll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.

btaf45,

He'll think this completely absolves him,

He won't think that. He will just say that.

Good luck denying a narcissist his supply.

flossdaily,

But … WHY would Trump’s legal advisors say that? I mean, surely they understand that Trump has definitive proof that the election was stolen.

Unless … wait. You don’t think … I mean could it be possible … that Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States … is LYING to people?!

Possibly, it's something like this:

Trump: I need to show that I really really believe that the election was stolen from me!

Lawyers: it doesn't matter what you believe, because the actions were illegal

Trump: but I really believe this, so it's OK if I do all that

Lawyers: it doesn't work that way!!

JonEFive,

More like “but all of my life has taught me that there are no consequences for my actions, why would I think anything will be different now?”

Treczoks,

The more rope he provides to get himself hanged, the better!

Too much rope means the feet touch the floor and it isn't effective.

He’s going to jail until the trial(s) then he’s going to prison.

TheButtonJustSpins,

If only.

JonEFive,

I’m a bit of a dreamer myself.
