Does Anybody STILL Think This S---- Isn't Real???? (continued from similarly titled threads)



TRUMP:

What to know about Trump’s effort to take over midterm elections. From dismantling guardrails that upheld the integrity of past elections to gutting federal agencies and installing allies who supported Trump’s claim that the 2020 vote was stolen, here are the key takeaways from our recent investigation.

1. In 2020, institutional guardrails helped to prevent Trump from overturning the election.
2. Less than 18 months into his second term, Trump has dismantled many of those same guardrails.
3. Among the first agencies Trump gutted after returning to office was one that had repeatedly disproved his stolen-election claims.
4. Trump and his appointees have gutted election-related teams at federal law enforcement agencies.
5. Trump ousted career specialists and replaced them with pro-Trump “Team America.”
6. Team America members are using a powerful Homeland Security Investigations tool to try to identify noncitizen voters.
7. Trump’s head of elections security is behind the FBI’s seizure of 2020 election ballots in Georgia.
8. The DOJ’s Public Integrity Section, once responsible for making sure the department’s inquiries weren’t improperly influenced by politics, was eviscerated.
