Trump Promises ‘Massive Information and 100% Evidence’ on Rigged Election — from THREE Years Ago

Like any good conspiracy theorist, former President Donald Trump knows that the question or allegation of something is more important than the proof. Why is Bigfoot still a thing? Because no one has yet proven that the weird man-ape-creature DOESN’T exist.
The same can be said of allegations that the 2020 election was stolen, as Trump and his minions continue to prattle on about.
On the very day that House Speaker wannabe Rep. Jim Jordan refused to admit that the 2020 election was NOT stolen, Trump took to social media and promised that “Massive information and 100% evidence will be made available during the Corrupt Trials started by our Political Opponent.” Oh, will it, now?
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
Does anyone notice that the Election Rigging Biden Administration never goes after the Riggers, but only after those that want to catch and expose the Rigging dogs. Massive information and 100% evidence will be made available during the Corrupt Trials started by our Political Opponent. We will never let 2020 happen again. Look at the result, OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED. MAGA!!!
Trump has forever claimed he lost his reelection bid, not because he’s a loser, but because some other nefarious forces came into play. Like Don Quixote’s famous tilting at windmills, Trump’s insistence that he is the victim flies in the face of even his most senior administration officials, who did not find sufficient evidence to support his baseless claims.
Again, former Attorney General Bill Barr called these claims “bullshit.” On Thursday, one of the chief architects of the “stolen election” conspiracy, Sidney Powell, pleaded guilty to a Fulton County case alleging election fraud. The number of supporters who are vocally in line behind Trump’s batshit claims is getting smaller and batshit crazier.
No matter to Trump: the facts matter less than the allegation. The burden of proof does not matter to Trump or his MAGA followers.
There is also the ugly use of the term “Riggers” in this, which drew outrage the last time Trump used the term because of the direct rhyming the term has with the most racist term imaginable. But the less attention given to that ugly episode, perhaps the better. Do not feed the troll.
