    Probably, or less likely, NBC knows they're full of shit, so they asked for the copy knowing Giuliani won't give it to them.

    Great column from Greg Sargent in the WaPo:

    "There’s a lot to scrutinize about John Ratcliffe’s big announcement about Iran and Russia, but an important piece of news about it is getting lost: Without doing so directly, Trump’s own Director of National Intelligence actually debunked one of the president’s biggest lies about the election."

    snip

    "But the other thing that Ratcliffe said about Iran is really important. Here it is:

    "Iran is distributing other content to include a video that implies that individuals could cast fraudulent ballots, even from overseas. This video, and any claims about such allegedly fraudulent ballots, are not true."

    You don’t say, DNI Ratcliffe. By the way, who else has been making such claims about fraudulent ballots?

    Why, Trump has, of course. And so has his attorney general, William P. Barr. And so has the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr.

    The wretched meaning of this is further underscored by the video that Iran has allegedly circulated. It’s not available now because Twitter suspended the account where it had been posted.

    But The Post viewed the video:

    "The video, which was reviewed by The Washington Post, shows Trump making disparaging comments about mail-in voting, followed by a logo with the name of the Proud Boys. It then documents what was made to appear as a hack of voting data in an effort to produce a fraudulent ballot."

    So, to be as clear as possible, this video circulated by Iran, which Ratcliffe has denounced for spreading false information about voter fraud, features Trump himself making such claims.

    Indeed, the series of claims that Ratcliffe here denounces as disinformation from a hostile foreign power — that balloting fraud is a serious problem, including from overseas, which necessarily means vote-by-mail — are ones that the President of the United States and his attorney general make on a regular basis."

    It would make 1968 look like child's play.

    The University of Florida's' Elections Project estimates that 239,247,182 will be eligible to vote this year. That's a 3.6% increase from last time. If 62.8% of them vote, the total vote count will be 150,247,230. Might be happening.

    And 3.2 MILLION felons. Including a whopping 329,000 in the great state of Georgia.

    The late-game Trump strategy, and that of his sycophants from his idiot children down to MAGA Joe and Karen waving a Trump flag from their pickup is to accuse Biden of everything he's guilty of: lying, using his position to influence foreign leaders to line his pockets, having a child using Dad's name to his financial benefit ... it's really stunning. It's one thing to be a lying, thieving turd. It's another to take absolutely everything that people know about you and accuse your opponent of the exact same thing.

    Go buy Rick Wilson's books before the changeling becomes something other than Woke Twitter's cuddly racist uncle.
