    From the transcript: Trump, "I have to find 12,000 votes, and I have them times a lot. And therefore, I won the state."

    I admit to misremembering the quote but yes Trump is asking for just enough votes to win.

    Further the transcript shows that Trump was putting forward several theories that were debunked in real time by the Raffensberger and others. He continued to persist even after given that information by his own lawyers. This was also before Jan. 6th and the attempt to have a false slate of electors replace the official ones.

    That is verbatim from your very link. Search it yourself if you don't belive it.

    Yes and I admitted to misremembering the quote. You got me.

    I posted a verbatim quote from Trump though from the transcript where he says he needs to find votes.

    And do you have any comment or opinion on that the transcript undermines Turley's argument?

    Why don't you just post what you think it said and save us the trouble of trying to play psychic.

    yes, and the VERBATIM quote that was originally asserted had Trump saying "I want YOU to find ME" x number of votes

    That is a semantic difference with lilttle meaning given that the statements he makes are directed at Raffensberger.

    no, it's not . . . particularly since you asserted it was a VERBATIM quote

    And yes I admitted to misremembering it. I posted the VERBATIM quote from the transcript where Trump says he wants to find 12,000 votes. I will note you then claimed that wasn't verbatim when it was direcrtly from the link you provied.

    This isn't a straw man when Trump actually said he wanted votes found.

    Let me ask you this.

    Are you denying that Trump wanted those votes found and he wasn't directing that comment at Brad Raffensberger?
