    Washington Post: In call, Trump demands Georgia official 'find' votes to tilt election - CNNPolitics

    Trump begs Georgia secretary of state to overturn election results in remarkable, hourlong phone call (nbcnews.com)

    Mafia boss is as mafia boss does.

    BTW, what Trump just did is, of course, in and of itself a crime. He is trying his hardest to get Raffensberger to break the law and commit electoral fraud. That's incitement to fraud and of course, a gross abuse of power.

    One has to ask why Trump is really THIS desperate. Why, it's almost as if he is terrified of having to leave office, as if he thinks that he is chum about to be dumped into the ocean and there are thousands of sharks out there.

    Hmmmmmmm......

    Opinion | Trump’s election call to Georgia’s Raffensperger is impeachable. It’s likely illegal. It’s a coup. - The Washington Post

    OMG, CNN is playing the ENTIRE hour of Trump spewing just one lie after another. Trump is talking about getting numbers "certified" right now, numbers that he likes.

    I mean, he really is batshit crazy. The man is literally quite insane. Totally gaga. It's just a endless torrent of lies, lies, lies.

    In a normal world where both political parties actually care about America, everyone would be screaming for this man to resign this very minute.

    But of course, it's Trump and he has numbed us all to this level of criminality.

    It's gonna be a rough ride every day until Joe Biden's inauguration.

    Predictably, Trump has already filed 2 lawsuits against Raffensberger for having released the telephone call.

    LOL.

    What a chump.

    Well, Trump is probably not going to be in a very good mood tonight.

    Expect the sound of things breaking in the night.

    His finances. If he looses the protection of the presidency, he is toast.

    Before he became President he was already in trouble, because his cash cow that reality show, was in trouble.
    Ratings went down the drain, naturally cash to.

    He had hoped to promote his name by running for President.
    Than the crap hit the fan, he won.
    Suddenly 24/7/365 in the spot light, was not what he had planed.
    His presidency was a catastrophe to his brand, especially abroad. He lost most of his contracts, Trump Towers.
    For his lenders he became a image burden, Deutsche Bank for example. They want to get rid of him. Fired the 2 persons who dealt with his account, last month.
    DB will call the loans or sell it, just to get away from him and his bad image.
    He is a international outcast and he knows that and needs huge amount of money. His whole clan is tarnished, Kushner's included.
    The guy is desperate.
    Well their is naturally his legal problems on State level. Will cost him millions, which he does not have.
    He has to sell, fire sells.
    He is finished and he knows that, he needs the power of the presidency, to stem the flood.

    Simple as that.

    A con man at the end of the rope.

    Here is the entire call, slightly over 1 hour in length:



    What you are hearing are the ravings of a lunatic madman who chews on every worthless conspiracy he can, who speaks of himself in 3rd person, who literally declared himself the winner of the Georgia presidential race - on the phone. I listened to the entire call this morning, for a second time. Every single word, every single nuance.

    That it was wholly inappropriate from the get-go is an understatement.

    "Ultimately, I win. You guys are so wrong."

    It was a mafia-boss pressure job from the first minute to the last. John Gotti would have been very proud of Donald Trump.

    Republicans should be glad once this nutbag is gone from the national stage and enjoying 3 hots and a cot. The damage he is doing to the nation, including his own party, is inestimable. Every single elected Republican who still supports this crazy person named Trump deserves to be scorned for all eternity.

    And this telephone call opens up great opportunities for Dominion to sue Trump 3 of 6 feet under the ground. Dominion can bite deeply into what little money Trump still posesses. In the end, Trump's ego and his stupidity will undo him.

    I don't care if trump only had one day left in office. I think Congress should start the impeachment process today. He could enjoy the distinction of being impeached twice.

    Georgia would not get Bunker Boy to 270.
    So we can count on it, that similar calls were made to the other swing states Secretaries.

    Find me the votes, recalculate.

    I bet $100 on it.

    I always pay my bets.

    One was leaked, I think we will have more leaks.

    Looks like the SOS of Georgia committed a serious crime.......

    2010 Georgia Code
    TITLE 16 - CRIMES AND OFFENSES
    CHAPTER 11 - OFFENSES AGAINST PUBLIC ORDER AND SAFETY
    ARTICLE 3 - INVASIONS OF PRIVACY
    PART 1 - WIRETAPPING, EAVESDROPPING, SURVEILLANCE, AND RELATED OFFENSES
    § 16-11-62 - Eavesdropping, surveillance, or intercepting communication which invades privacy of another; divulging private message

    You're reading the wrong section. 16-11-62 deals with 3rd parties eavesdropping, wiretapping in a public setting, surveillance cameras, etc. This was a phone call to which the recorder was a party.

    See § 16-11-66 - Interception of wire, oral, or electronic communication by party thereto; consent requirements for recording and divulging conversations to which child under 18 years is a party; parental exception

    I've looked over the rest of wiretaping laws, but I'm not seeing anything specifically forbidding the release of said recording. The closest is in 16-11-62:

    From the language given, this is clearly talking about recordings of activities people are taking - such as a private diary or something. It does not cover a recorded phone conversation.
