Apparently, Trump pressuring Raffensperger to "find" some votes to overturn the Georgia Result.
Beyond desperation !!
Trump should resign so President Pence can give him a pardon.

I heard the same excerpt you linked to on cnn. The desperation in Trump's voice is obvious, whereas Raffensperger is cool, calm, and collected. Trump threatens criminal action against Raffensperger if he does not "find" 11,780 votes, cajoles, cites nothing but rumor, leaps from one issue to another without coherent logical connections. He's galloping in all directions at once.
@Dood111
No, we will finally have a chance to correct the screw job of Trump in the last four years and Moscow Mitch in the last TEN.
You probably don't even follow what has been going on with Moscow Mitch:
Stop ANYTHING started by democrats in the house for the past ten years.
He actually calls himself PROUDLY, the 'grim reaper'.
It doesn't matter if it is a bill to add a dog catcher to Lehigh county, if dems started it, into the trash it goes.
Just listened to the whole hour of audio. Trump trying to bully Raffensberger and his team into breaking a raft of laws, but he was just begging and pleading and talking the same nonsensical "alternative facts".
And now Republican Congressman Chip Roy is objecting to all the new Republican Congressmen, on the grounds that you can't object to only part of the ballot paper without objecting to the whole.
Hopefully this will get across to all Republicans that the GOP needs to jettison Trump to ensure its own survival.
@dood111 saidTrump doesn’t care about the country. There is a felony lawsuit against him waiting to roll the day he loses presidential immunity. If convicted, he’ll go to prison. He’s running scared and bending every law and twisting every arm to stay in office so the statute of limitations will expire.
Can you blame him?
If the Dems control the Senate and the House this country is screwed.
The flaw in his claim the election was rigged by the Democrats is that only he was diselected; Republicans running down-ticket did better. If the Dems had the means to rig an election, they would have rigged it to gain clear majorities in both houses of Congress too, not only the Oval Office. In fact, Reps. gained a few in the lower house. The message is crystal clear: a lot of Reps. voted for the party for Congressional seats but AGAINST Trump. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Carl Bernstein Says Latest Trump Tapes Are ‘Far Worse’ Than Watergate
Audio of the president trying to persuade a Georgia official to change election results is “the ultimate smoking gun tape,” the Watergate journalist said.
"In any other presidency, this tape would be evidence enough to result in impeachment, a conviction in the Senate and a call by members of Congress ― Republicans included ― for the president’s immediate resignation, Bernstein said."
( I just wanna remind everyone that Carl Bernstein, along with Bob Woodward, wrote All the President's Men, which basically brought down a corrupt sitting president, Richard Nixon, over the Watergate scandal. -- Suzi )
