It's a retraction.  Has your Orange God ever retracted any of his 10s of thousands of lies?   Plus, it doesn't really change the substance of the investigation but go ahead and gotcha all you want.

they are calling it something other than a retraction.

From "find the fraud" to "you'll find dishonesty there" if she keeps scrutinizing ballots.

 

From she would be "a national hero" to she "had the most important job in the country right now."

 

These are different words, not different sentiments.

 

It's going to be a sad day at court when the trumpets think this all makes trump innocent and the judge is like, "Yep, pretty much the same thing."

 

If they are really the same thing then why did the Bezos-owned WaPo have to lie about it?

 

Neither is criminal, the first report just looks worse.  The distinction between before&after is the grammar.  The fake story is in the imperative form, a command even though POTUS does not have power over state officials.  The real quote is a hypothetical opinion.

The cultiists, the alt righters, and their propaganda media outlets picked the wrong people to start a fight with.  And my question is: why isn't Trump being named in all of these lawsuits - only his henchmen.

Former President Donald Trump may yet face a lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems for spreading election fraud claims about the 2020 contest.

Stephen Shackelford, an attorney for the voting company, wouldn't rule it out when asked Sunday by CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter.

"We have not ruled out any potential defendants who participated in this defamation campaign," Shackelford said.

Dominion has a growing list of defamation lawsuits after the November election, citing claims about its technology and software that caused "irreparable damage" to the company's name and reputation.

TRUMP FACES TWO ELECTION-RELATED INVESTIGATIONS IN GEORGIA

The company filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit against Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, a similar suit against lawyer Sidney Powell, and a $1 billion suit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. In seeking to dismiss the lawsuit against her, Powell argued last week that "no reasonable person would conclude" that her comments about alleged election fraud "were truly statements of fact."

Like his allies, Trump himself spread election fraud claims about Dominion and, according to a video published on Sunday by TMZ of a wedding at the former president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, is still asserting that something untoward happened in his loss to President Joe Biden more than four months ago.

Trump may be as guilty as the day is long, but can the Fulton County DA get charges to stick - that is the question.

A sheriff’s deputy who went to law school but remained a cop for another two decades. A prosecutor best known for tackling juvenile offenders. And the guy who literally wrote the book on racketeering cases against mafia goons.

This is the team Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is assembling to investigate Donald Trump—to go after his advisers and their attempts to manipulate election results in Georgia.

In interviews with Willis, her staff, five former members of the team, and several people who interacted with them, The Daily Beast has learned there are now two grand juries underway in Fulton County, and jurors in these secret proceedings will soon be asked to issue subpoenas demanding documents and recordings related to the Trump investigation.

“I suspect that's in the very near future,” Willis told The Daily Beast.

It’s practically unheard of for a regional prosecutor to target a former U.S. president. But this is Donald Trump. Manhattan’s district attorney and New York State’s attorney general have active investigations. And so does the DA of Fulton County, Georgia. The case in Georgia may be the strongest; there’s a trove of evidence—documents, phone calls, witnesses—that Trump personally interfered with and pressured elections officials in Atlanta as they recounted votes.

Trump’s now infamous Jan. 2 call, in which he pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes,” became public on Willis’s first day in office.

Three cases were referred to her office from the Office of the Secretary of State, she said. The monumental task of conducting this investigation has fallen on the DA’s new anti-corruption team, once known as the “public integrity unit.” It’s a small team that traditionally investigates police misconduct and corrupt local government officials. Willis decided to scrap and rebrand the team because of its troubled history, one that has repeatedly drawn rebuke in Atlanta. Over the decades, the team has proved incapable of handling its regular caseload, derailing careers by leaving accused cops stuck at desk assignments—and forcing impatient families to wait years for basic answers.

With Trump, they’re now faced with the highest of high-profile potential defendants—one with enormous political backing and a legion of followers from whom he can instantly raise millions of dollars for his defense.

That checkered past is why attorneys, like Paul Kish, who have defended public officials targeted by previous iterations of that prosecution unit, had this to say: “I think they're so far out of their league it's not even funny.”

"Trumpland" is facing a legal juggernaut with Dominion. They picked the wrong company to blame for the election loss.  As the article notes, the monetary resources of Trump's allies are now having to be spent on legal defenses and most likely in payouts after they lose in court.

With billions of dollars in lawsuits now in the balance, Dominion Voting Systems has quietly expanded its legal armada in recent days, as the election technology company goes after Trumpworld and conservative media giants.

Clare Locke—the legal firm spearheading Dominion’s lawsuits against Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and pillow magnate Mike Lindell—recently brought in seven attorneys from the Texas-based firm of Susman Godfrey, which has experience litigating against the so-called “Kraken” suits filed by one-time Trump attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell.

Meanwhile - Trump keeps on raising money for his defense - yet it is unaccounted for.

"Don the Con" believes a sucker is born every moment.

Save America has been at odds with its stated purpose from the outset, as money donated to the PAC could not “be used to support Mr. Trump’s own campaign or the cost of litigation arising from his campaign,” according to Brendan Fischer. Fischer is an expert in campaign finance and government ethics at the Campaign Legal Center. “In the weeks following the November 3 election, President Trump asked donors to give to his ‘election defense fund,’ but in reality, the money raised flowed to Trump’s leadership PAC, which never paid for any post-election litigation and legally could not even do so,” Fischer told American Greatness. 

 

“One of the only restrictions on Trump’s leadership PAC is that it cannot be used to support Trump’s own campaign, including the costs of litigation arising out of his campaign,” he added. “In short, Trump raised tens of millions of dollars on a claim that his PAC would do something that it was legally prohibited from doing all along.” 

Nevertheless, the money-making machine rolls on.
