#1 In Western democracies the burden of proof is on the government.

The government must prove that elections were free and fair to legitimize its powers.

One necessary element for this is that vote counts be only conducted in public, the government must prove that measures were taken that would deny access to uncounted ballots when not under public scrutiny.

Here, we not only know that officials had theoretical access to ballots but we actually have evidence of ballots being "counted" in the absence of observers.

The 2016 Austrian presidential elections were annulled because it was established that government officials theoretically had unsupervised access to a number uncounted ballots in excess of the margin of victory.

Here, at issue is not a remedy of the government's proven wrongdoing but suppression of information on the government's wrongdoing.

Does the government derive its power from the consent of the governed or from the consent of the likes of Mrs. Ross and Mrs Freeman.

This creates a chilling effect for speech that touches a vital aspect of any form of Western democracy.

This will deter anyone from pointing out possible election fraud.

Could the Trump admin's justice department investigate Mrs. Moss & Mrs Freeman for civil rights violations?

Could sympathetic legislators in Congress and state legislatures enter this video and an informal reprimand into the official record?

Could President Trump issue a proclamation entering the video and an informal reprimand into the public federal record.

Maybe they should.

It would draw the public's attention to the issue and it would protect the information from suppression by the courts.

The principle of Checks & Balances should limit courts' powers as well.

Will Trump pardon Rudy, having seen and experienced 1st hand the fraud that many Fulton Co. GA Election workers pulled off, despite the mountain of evidence showing it happened?

Will the MSM blow a fuse for Trump doing the right thing, unlike they didn't do with the babbling Biden pardons?

Well, yeah. That's kinda to point, isn't it? I mean, I believe that is their intention.

#6 He seems to be his own worst enemy, when it comes to dealing with legal process. Probably getting to old for this game. You should see the vulture peanut gallery on X.
