Exclusive | "I just want to find 11,780 votes": In extraordinary hour-long call, Trump pressures Georgia secretary of state to recalculate the vote in his favor https://t.co/NTT3hTvcrR

The recording details that Raffensperger and representatives of the secretary of state's office continued to patiently knock down some of the more inflammatory claims made by Trump and other top Republicans who allege hundreds of thousands of votes were illegally counted.

— NPR (@NPR) January 3, 2021

Incredible audio of Pres Trump bullying and threatening Georgia's secretary of state in a phone call Saturday, ordering him to recalculate votes to give the election to Trump. It's a historical documentation of a president trying to steal an election. https://t.co/EdmwfuPevo

— Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) January 3, 2021

I'm no lawyer but the fact Trump asked Raffensperger to "recalculate" and deliver him just the exact number of votes he needs to win shows corrupt intent. I'm sure a prosecutor could do wonders with this. And is it unreasonable for the House to do a quick impeachment this week?

— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) January 3, 2021

Do people understand what it means for the future of US democracy if Trump walks out of office and into a life of great fame and fortune? And that's before you even consider the totally plausible possibility of a successful 2024 presidential campaign. Moving on is not an option.

This Trump audio is far worse and more incriminating than anything from Watergate. It's not up for debate-it is legally, ethically, morally worse. Any politician who doesn't recognize this, or who intends to thwart the Constitution this week, has failed to uphold their oath.

Nixon hated the Washington Post for its aggressive coverage. On his secret tapes in September 1972, he told aides threateningly that “the Post is going to have damnable, damnable problems. . . They have a television station … and they’re going to have to get it renewed.”

— Nicole Hemmer (@pastpunditry) January 3, 2021

What's most terrifying is that Trump has once again made subtext into text and yet little may change. A majority of House Rs and a number of leading presidential contenders will still likely reject the peaceful transfer of power this week.

— Brendan Nyhan (@BrendanNyhan on 🟦☁️) (@BrendanNyhan) January 3, 2021

Here’s the harsh reality for Americans who’ve long believed we lived in the greatest democracy on earth: if Raffensberger wasn’t Sec of State in GA and/or if GOP controlled both chambers of Congress, there’s more than a high chance that Biden wouldn’t be president come Jan 20th.

Is it too much to hope that the criminal interference with the election result by the malevolent but hapless Trump will chasten the GOP sabotage of certification on Wednesday? At the very least it now makes them look ridiculous.

— Simon Schama (@simon_schama) January 3, 2021

Unless there are portions of the tape that somehow negate criminal intent, "I just want to find 11,780 votes" and his threats against Raffensperger and his counsel violate 52 U.S. Code § 20511. His best defense would be insanity.https://t.co/ZAtRgiRQmz
