President Donald Trump on Friday called for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 presidential election, alleging his oft-repeated claim that the race was fraught with fraud.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD!” He added that there is “MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING” evidence of fraud and called for a special prosecutor to ensure such an outcome “cannot be allowed to happen again.”
Trump’s renewed demand revisits a claim many have made since Trump’s 2020 loss to President Joe Biden, when, campaigning from his basement, Biden managed to lose all but one bellwether county in the entire nation, and yet still win the election with 81,283,501 votes. His unbelievable vote count set an all-time record and exceeded President Barack Obama’s previous record of 61,000,000 votes by 17%.
Several failed court challenges and investigations found no evidence of widespread fraud. But that came before a declassified FBI document, made public by FBI Director Kash Patel on June 16 and dated Sept. 25, 2020, from the FBI’s Albany, New York field office, showed that the Chinese Communist Party planned to produce and ship fake US driver’s licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in ballots in favor of Joe Biden. The document may prove that the CCP aimed to exploit mail-in voting by creating voter identities for Chinese residents in the US to cast these ballots. Customs and Border Protection data supports concerns about fraudulent documents, noting 1,513 seizures of fake documents, including 19,888 counterfeit US driver’s licenses, at Chicago O’Hare International Airport in the first half of 2020, mostly from China and Hong Kong.
The social media post comes amid a broader push by Trump to point out Biden’s cognitive decline and use of auto-pen to sign many important documents, including over 8,000 pardons and commutations. During his final weeks in office, Biden’s signature was done by auto-pen on all pardons except that of his son, Hunter Biden, whose pardon was signed by hand.
Trump’s call also follows a major legal win for his defense team last year, when a federal judge he appointed ruled that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was invalid. Smith had been tasked with investigating Trump’s actions surrounding the 2020 election and his retention of classified materials. The judge found that Smith’s appointment by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland lacked Senate confirmation, leading to the dismissal of the case.
As of June 20, no new special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate the 2020 election, and it remains unclear whether such a move would be legally or politically viable, especially considering Trump’s own legal precedent challenging special counsel appointments of Biden.
Our Dear Leader is intent on fabricating a new “truth, no matter the consequences ☠️
Evidence demands a verdict. If you could remove your TDS glasses long enough to see that, you might not have spouted off. We’re all assuming you were more than happy to follow blindly President Autopen, right?
I’ll give you a verdict when you actually show me some evidence. Until then I’ll dismiss your claims out of hand.
What constitutes evidence in your mind, cman?
.
When I see people demanding evidence of voter fraud, they tend to want convictions, or at the bare minimum, charges. But, those things never happen until after an investigation. And, in 2020, everyone who was happy to see Trump lost claimed this was the “most secure election ever” and fought tooth and nail against any in-depth investigation.
.
There were enough anomalies on election day 2020 to warrant a deeper look, but none happened. When something potentially illegal happens, and the authorities refuse to look into it, there cannot be any evidence. Arizona looked unusual, but, no investigation until years later. Georgia seemed weird, but no investigation at all.
.
So, asking again. What would you accept as evidence of election fraud?
Proof of tampered ballot drop boxes, tampered voting machines switching votes for Trump to Biden. That would be a good start. However, unless the special prosecutor is someone outside of trumps orbit or sphere of influence, any investigation would have about the same veracity as 2000 mules.
I agree, a ballot drop box with a busted lock would be excellent evidence. But, when did any of the voting machines undergo a forensic audit? i do not recall it. I do, however, recall several districts blanking their machines even though there is a requirement to leave them untouched. But, no investigation into that, just an “oops, we screwed up, so sorry.” and done.
.
And, 2000 Mules is proof of nothing, I agree totally. It presents a lot of unanswered questions as if they mean something. However, where was the investigation into those unanswered questions? Did anyone ever actually reach out to the owners of those mobile phones, and ask them why they were going from ballot drop box location to ballot drop box location? If they did, no one published the results. Innocent actions have reasonable explanations, even when they are suspicious. But… crickets.
.
I am also reminded of the Maricopa County audit, where somewhere between 70,000 and 110,000 ballots were determined to have been cast illegally (not sure of those numbers.). The results of that audit were put on a shelf and ignored. Curiously, in 2022, when the candidate for Governor refused to recuse herself from overseeing the election, there were problems with the voting process, that… curiously… happened in the conservative areas. Again… no actual investigation.
.
So… when you ask for evidence, my response is get an investigation into the anomalies. It will turn up your evidence. Until the investigation happens, it is only suspicion.
Here, let me give you an example.
A wife suspects her husband is cheating because some behavior changed. She chats with her friend, describes the weird behavior. Does her friend say:
1. There is no evidence, ignore it
-OR-
2. Look at his phone, or follow him, or call one of his coworkers, or check his wallet/credit card/bank account for expenses he should not have.
.
You are choosing path #1, I am saying path #2 is the correct path, and it has not been taken.

What we should demand an answer to: who gave the order to stop counting votes in the swing states on the night of November 3/4, 2020?
Come on Matt Gaetz!
Was the Alaska voter database hacked or leaked about that time?
‘https://ltgov.alaska.gov/newsroom/2020/12/state-of-alaskas-online-voter-registration-system-victim-of-data-exposure/
I’m sure it’s nothing. Nothing to be worried about. Nothing to be concerned about. Nothing to do with not requiring signatures on ballots, or anything at all.
Of course Alaskan elections are compromised. It is why we always shook our heads at people yelling at the voters for ‘electing’ incompetent politicians. Did anyone with sense believe Biden received a historic 81 million votes? Of course not. That 81 million votes was the ‘elephant’ in the room, revealing fraud in our elections, and timing was not America’s side.
When the presidential election is riddled with fraud, then it goes without saying that the election rot is at the State and Muni level as well. It becomes increasingly clear now that the FBI has begun to declassify documents. Perhaps this is why Alaska has the elected leadership it has and why Alaskans cannot remove the corrupt, incompetent judges up for retention.
Is it a coincidence that Dunleavy hurried up and finally released the Election Integrity Report from 2017 a few days before the FBI declassified? We think not.
Make America Great Again!
Yes please. Get it done expeditiously… the data is mostly already there. This is very important.
Wow, stop and think a moment where we would be if those same record number of votes had been cast for the kackling Kamala Harris and her sideshow Tampon Timmy Walz.
Scary thought huh? I cant begin to fathom that possible reality.
You seem incapable of making a point without name calling or insults. This is a sign of weak or nonexistent argument.
Noted NYC naturalist, hiker, animal and nature lover Donald Trump wants to turn over federal lands to developers. What a surprise. It’s worth noting that, late in his career, Adolf Hitler was also quite delusional and detached from reality, convinced that he was always the smartest person in the room.
OTOH, O’Bama, Harris – Biden and congressional democrats were perfectly happy turning over federal lands onshore and offshore to green developers. Better yet, they issued waivers allowing the developers to kill large numbers of birds, whales and dolphins, numbers that would have made Exxon and Capt Hazelwood blush. Exxon and Hazelwood’s environmental impact was accidental. Yours is intentional. Apparently, some “nature lovers” are more acceptable than others.
Note that it only took you 3 sentences to violate Godwin’s law by invoking Hitler. Congratulations on a quick loss in this particular argument. In hockey or soccer this would be referred to as a self goal / own goal. You must be very proud. Cheers –
C’mon pedocrats, don’t you know the ‘Trump is Hitler’ bs only impresses you sexually deviant maoist molochites?
Do better.
Merrick Garland needs a a lot of jail time over this. And to think this turd could have been on the US Supreme Court.
It takes a weak mind to succumb to the Big Lie.
Those who promulgate it know it to be untrue, but they foist it on you anyways, and you take it like a salmon going after a Pixie.
Gullible believers, you have fully surrendered your own personal integrity and perception of reality. Deep down, we all know that you’re a little ashamed for doing so. But I guess that’s a small price to pay for the opportunity to vex the libs, and to be remain in good standing with your fellow MAGA cultists.
81M votes
not
81M voters.
It was clearly a fraudulent election.

And Trump lost in 2020. His own people have told him as much, and he has also publicly admitted the same..
Give it up, Mike. It’s salmon fishing time down there, so why not go do that instead of continuing to promulgate a lie that you know to be untrue. Honestly, at long last, end this stupid and transparent charade.
Whiney birch blathers on sanctimonious – scared shirtless at the prospect of Special Prosecutor Matt Gaetz’ execution of his duties to investigate and reveal all of the seditious treason and subtrifuge of the pedocrats and their masters in Beijing
I vote to kick Whidbey off of MRAK. Perm banned. He goes to numerous other sites as WtD and makes berating comments about Suzanne and MRAK. This isn’t about free speech any longer. It’s about someone who is allowed to heckle and berate without consequence. He can do it on another forum, but not here at our house.
Well go ahead and vote, then. And if I lose, I won’t whine for years, claiming that it was fraudulent.
I push back on MRAK mainly because of the many vile and contemptuous comments I read, which are unrepresentative the people of Alaska, whom I love, and with whom I lived for 35 years. Some of the viewpoints I read are shocking, odious, and downright dangerous, and while perhaps not being formally promulgated here, they are at least tacitly encouraged and are allowed to be posted on the site.
Furthermore, there is never any effort on MRAK for conciliation, detente, or rapprochement. Nope. You won’t find that here. It’s always “own the Libs all the time”. That is not a good recipe for life, nor is it representative of Christian dogma.
And of course, poor old Whidbey has suffered years of searing abuse and derision at the hands of folks like Jefferson, Steve-O, CBMTech, and many, many others. It’s understandable, therefore, that I sometimes get a little bit shirty and bite back. An old dog can only take so much, after all. But I never bite first.
Dona nobis pacem.
I’m voting to kick Whidbey off too. But it’s Suzanne’s call. His lefty snark comments and his overall attitude is just plain offensive to us readers here at MRAK. After he trolls here daily, he runs over to the Democrat sites and makes fun of Suzanne personally, and MRAK readers and contributors in general. His favorite Marxist sites include Dermot Cole, whom is quite hated by Conservatives and Republicans because of his blatant lies and fabrications. Guess Dermot is Whidbey hero. I’d like to know if Whidbey ever contributed as much as a dime to Suzanne?
His viewpoints don’t pay the MRAK bills. I don’t mind honest discussions with dissimilar viewpoints, but I get tired of reading condescending and behavioral misconduct by a person who has only one goal here, that is, to disrupt MRAK at every turn. My vote is to put him into the kennel.
I am forced to agree, North Pole Patriot.
Whidbey is the very definition of a classic and willfully antagonistic online troll. He is the MRAK equivalent of the ever-shrieking toddler during a church service.
I disagree fully. Without Whidbey the Dog disrupting the continuous flow of patriotic and conservative blather at MRAK, Marxists like me would have no other method of spying on my enemies. I get this service free of charge from Whidbey. In turn, I let him post all of his hateful diatribes against Suzanne and MRAK right here at my blog. I’m a principled blogger. No alternative viewpoints will be tolerated. If they were, my dedicated Marxist/Stalinist brothers and sisters, and the loyal Democrats who support my habits, would cancel all donations. I cannot live like that. I need my daily fix through commie donations, although slight in proportion, which are better than nothing at the end of my miserable day. Please, Suzanne. Don’t dump Whidbey just yet. Wait until I’m gone.
Yes, I contribute. And MRAK can confirm that I do. I always pay my own way.
Now, now – I do keep it lively, don’t I? And aren’t engagement, clicks, and eyeballs what social media is all about?
And if you can’t stand someone challenging your “beliefs”, well then I question how much you really believe them..
What? The Dog contributes$$ to MRAK?
I’m kicking you off my Alaska Reporting Blog, Whidbey. You are a two-timing cheat.
Giving Suzanne money, but all you give me is some lousy one-year fermented spirits. You know what I like. You are temp-banned until you get me the good stuff. And don’t try sweet-talking your way back to me with more hate and anti-MRAK rhetoric. I’m on to you.
I also pay for both Fox and CNN. Like I said, I pay my own way and always have.
I do not know if it was a big lie or not.
No one ever bothered to investigate any of the anomalous things that happened on and after election night. In fact, a lot of powerful people fought hard to prevent any investigation into them.
.
So… belief has nothing to do with it. Skepticism does. Why did people stay after to continue counting votes? Why did vote counting stop at all? Why did an overflowing toilet require a building evacuation? How did the vote count swing by tens of thousands of votes almost instantly?
.
All valid questions, and there are likely perfectly innocuous reasons for all of the weirdness, but without any investigation (or even any questions asked), one cannot determine if there was a lie or not.
“I do not know if it was a big lie or not.”
Well, I know that’s a lie.
How?
We are all sorry that whidbey never met his biological father. All those nights in the basement waiting for his baby momma to return from the seemingly never-ending car dates has left this pitiful chud screeing into the ether.

How nice.. See, searing abuse and derision. And please leave my parent out of this.
The biggest sore loser in American political history continues to be a sore loser. Any claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Trump is delusional.
Cman, another victim of TDS. Get in to your psychiatrist’s office before your circuitry begins to fry. You need help, bud.
Suzanne needs to have an entire separate room for these nutcases with TDS. I mean really, put them in a separate containment area so the rest of us can ignore them, but visit from time to time and see if any progress is being made. Kind of like visiting the zoo, or the psychiatric ward, on your own terms, just for occasional entertainment. Who knows? Uncle Joe, or even Aunt Gertie may be in lock-down.
No, sorry. Mix it up. I get as good as I give here. And if you can’t stand your beliefs being challenged, then I question how deeply you really believe them.
Oh, and you all have TDS as well, only on the other end of the spectrum.
I have noted this dozens of times.
There cannot be any evidence unless someone actually investigates claims of fraud. And, after the 2020 election, anyone with authority to investigate choose to claim (often quite vocally) that this was the “most secure election ever.”
“The now-disbanded voting integrity commission launched by the Trump administration uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud, according to an analysis of administration documents released Friday.”
‘https://apnews.com/article/f5f6a73b2af546ee97816bb35e82c18d
The investigation conducted by the “…now-disbanded voting integrity commission…” was a joke. To call it cursory is exaggerating its effectiveness.
.
If you actually looked at the report you would realize how laughable your citation actually is.
And, you will also notice the report was delivered in 2018. Which means absolutely NONE of the 2020 weirdness could have possibly been investigated in any way.
I mean, seriously, whidbey. Did you even read the article you cited? I have seen swings and misses before, but this one is epic. It is almost as if you assumed I would not bother clicking on the link you provided, and just capitulate. From the article:
““It’s calling into the darkness, looking for voter fraud,” Dunlap, a Democrat, told The Associated Press. “There’s no real evidence of it anywhere.””
Also from the article:
““For some people, no matter how many cases of voter fraud you show them, there will never be enough for them to admit that there’s a problem,” said Kobach”
Gee… who to believe?
.
Oh, I know, actually read the report, and see how awful the “investigation” actually was. But, that represents work, and we all know how adverse the average leftist is to work.
This is the gift that just keeps giving…
From your link:
“Kobach said there have been more than 1,000 convictions for voter fraud since 2000, and that the commission presented 8,400 instances of double voting in the 2016 election in 20 states.”
.
So… 1,000 convictions for voter fraud, and 8,400 instances of double voting in 2016 alone, but there is no evidence. What is it whidbey? Are you trying to prove you all your assertions are wrong?
So we’re supposed to believe that a crooked third-rate politician in profound cognitive decline garnered 81,000,000 votes when the country was locked down and when we had peace and prosperity during the Trump administration? 2020 was an aberration and after 2024 we now know that 81,000,000 votes was a spike. The whole idea of a special prosecutor is to gather the evidence that Democrats don’t want gathered. Just like Democrats are against any and all meaningful election reforms. Democrats don’t want the ugly truth to come out and they want to be able to continue their election shenanigans to maintain power. Because, let’s face it, Democrats can never win on their ideas alone.
Pedocrats cannot win any nationwide election without widespread election fraud. The maoists who b|tch about this investigation are not doing so because it’s illegal to do so. They are terrified at the ramifications of the “sleepers” becoming aware of their acts of seditious treason – and being supportive of reforms and criminal referrals that will surely follow.
cman:
Does the FBI report on the millions of fake IDs the Chinese government provided in order to mail in votes count as evidence? While it is not Steele Report level of evidence, it is sufficient to warrant investigation.
Or do you disagree>
The 2020 election was fraudulent and many other election since. 2020 was a obvious wake-up call.
The entire system with the computers used, needs to be done away with.
Make Elections Great Again!
Perfect assignment for Matt Gaetz. 81 million ballots, my a$$!
