Democrat scholar, attorney, and commentator Jonathan Turley (shown) is known as a straight shooter. That’s why it should give even skeptics pause when the George Washington University law professor says that “voting fraud occurred” in the 2020 election and that the process that could prove its magnitude should continue unimpeded.
Critics who’d like to quickly wrap the election up with a bow and present the nation a gift that’ll keep on giving will rhetorically ask, “Where’s the evidence?!” But Turley points out that this question is premature: Obviously, you can’t provide evidence until you conduct an investigation — the very thing those critics would like to forestall.
While speaking to Fox News’s Sean Hannity, Turley alluded to the four stages in an election: voting, tabulation, canvassing, and certification. The professor pointed out that we currently know little because we’re still just in the second stage.
As to what he does know, Turley echoed the Ohio election worker who called the way we conduct our national elections “ridiculous and inexcusable” and himself characterized the current confusion as “alarming” and “maddening.”
Criticizing the legal analysts who early on claimed there was no vote fraud and that President Trump should concede, Turley said that we “didn’t have any of the information to judge anything about voter fraud — we still don’t.”
“We’re still in the tabulation stage. We wouldn’t have evidence of systemic problems until we’re into the canvassing stage in most elections,” he continued. “And that has created this frustration in court; you know, a Trump attorney was asked by a judge ‘Are you saying there was massive fraud?’ and he said ‘Honestly, no.’ But the reason he said that is because it’s the election officials who hold this information.”
The academic then presented an excellent analogy. “It’s like being not just asked to guess the number of jellybeans in a jar, but you have to do it without actually seeing the jar,” he said. “You know, so in order to find system problems, you need access to the system. Now, does that mean we have seen evidence that would establish systemic violations? No.”
He then continued, however, saying,
[But] I’ve been reading these complaints and these affidavits. I think it’s clear at this point that voting fraud occurred; I mean … there is obviously a record here of dead people voting. There are obviously problems of keeping observers in positions where they really couldn’t observe very effectively. But we still don’t know. But we wouldn’t know — unless we had greater access to the system itself. That is held by election officials, and that requires a court to order that information to be turned over” (video below).
Moreover, Turley also says, to paraphrase Mark Twain, that the rumors of Trump’s political death are greatly exaggerated.
If “the Trump campaign is premature in claiming a deceased electorate, the Biden campaign is premature in claiming Donald Trump is deceased in the race,” the academic wrote at The Hill last Saturday. “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has referred to him in the past tense and Joe Biden as president-elect. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney called on the president to ‘put his big boy pants on’ and concede like Al Gore even after local officials said they were still counting votes.”
(Hat tip: RedState.)
Of course, Kenney failed to mention that Gore didn’t concede till December 13.
Turley further stated that the public should “welcome close scrutiny” of swing states and that it’s “implausible” that our untested, widespread system of mail-in voting “was used across the country without major glitches.” He also mentioned that big, Democrat-run cities such as “Detroit and Philadelphia” have a history of election fraud .(To see the full Turley appearance, go here.)
In donning his court-of-law-level-proof hat, the professor was putting it mildly. While he said he wished Joe Biden would request a full electoral-process review, the reality is that the septuagenarian politician — and especially his allies in politics, media, and Big Tech — insist, “There’s nothing to see here; move along.”
For example, when I and others would post a piece on mail-in vote fraud on Facebook, the platform would attach to the post a link with the text (this is close to verbatim), “Click here to learn why mail-in voting is safe and secure.” (Now do you see why Big Tech-connected individuals would be well represented in a Biden administration?)
Note, this is what politicians may call spin and what small children, manifestly more honest, call in their nomenclature “a lie.” As I’ve reported previously, mail-in vote fraud is not only real but rampant. In fact, a “comprehensive assessment of the frequency of election fraud was conducted by the News21 project at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University … [and] found 2,068 prosecutions for election fraud,” reported the Herald-Tribune August 13. “Mail-in ballot fraud represented the most frequent type of case prosecuted, making up 24% of the total.”
As an example, mail-in vote fraud was so bad in Paterson, New Jersey, during a May 12 special election between two Democrats that a judge ordered a new election be held.
And the only reason this operation was exposed, said a Democrat operative who spoke to the New York Post this summer, is that it was amateurish. He ought to know, too: The operative said that he has been perpetrating such fraud “on a grand scale, for decades,” as the paper put it. He also said that Democrat election shenanigans “could be enough to flip states.”
So is it any wonder why Democrat and ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich recently called his party’s vote fraud “a time-honored tradition” (video below)? Is it surprising that Chris Matthews, former host of Hardball, once said about election fraud occurring in, I believe, Philadelphia, (I’m paraphrasing) that “everyone knows it’s going on”?
He’s right, too. Blago knows. Matthews knows. And it’s hard to imagine there are very many connected Democrats who don’t know; they just pretend otherwise in public.
I truly believe this election was stolen, largely via the discarding/deletion of massive numbers of Trump ballots (as a source told me would happen before November 3). Pre-planned, it’s no wonder Biden said in late October, “I don’t need you to get me elected — I need you once I’m elected” (video below).
It was perhaps a big truth about a really, really big lie.
