Democrat Cal Cunningham concedes to GOP incumbent Sen. Thom Tillis in North Carolina

Democrat Cal Cunningham has conceded in his race to unseat Republican Sen. Thom Tillis in North Carolina, placing the GOP one step closer to maintaining control of the upper chamber.

What are the details?

Cunningham, 47, released a statement Tuesday saying that he had called Tillis "to congratulate him on winning re-election to a second term in the U.S. Senate and wished him and his family the best in their continued service in the months and years ahead."

"The voters have spoken and I respect their decision," he continued. "While the results of this election suggest there remain deep political divisions in our state and nation, the more complete story of our country lies in what unites us: our faith and sense of confidence in our democracy, our civic values and common humanity, our shared aspiration to care for one another, and our belief that we live in a country that does exceptional things."

Tillis, 60, issued a statement acknowledging Cunningham’s call, saying, "This was a hard-fought campaign and I wish nothing but the best to Cal and his family going forward."

Earlier this afternoon, Cal Cunningham called me to offer his concession. This was a hard-fought campaign and I wis… https://t.co/CKNqkPBscX

Polls showed Tillis trailing behind Cunningham leading up to the election, but the race tightened in October after Cunningham admitted to exchanging sexually charged texts with a woman who is not his wife. The married father of two children was also hit with allegations of engaging in separate physical affairs with the alleged mistress and another unnamed woman.

Fox News reported that, according to elections policy analyst Andy Jackson of the conservative Civitas Institute, Tillis "had the odds stacked against him," noting that "North Carolina voters are ‘brutal’ to their incumbent senators, rejecting nearly all modern senators after just one term."

Anything else?

The Associated Press reported that Tillis led Cunningham by more than 95,000 votes in the race, and with it decided, "all eyes turned to Georgia, where two U.S. Senate runoff races in January are likely to determine the balance of the upper chamber."

The outlet pointed out:

With votes still uncounted and the races in North Carolina and Alaska still too early to call Tuesday, the Senate remained tied 48-48. Alaska GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan is favored for another term against Al Gross, an independent running as a Democrat. If the Senate ended up tied 50-50, Democratic Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would wield the tiebreaking vote.

Now that Tillis has kept his seat, Republicans now hold 49 seats in the Senate to the Democrats’ 48.

Also, North Carolina’s presidential race and several other statewide races have not been called. President Trump leads former Vice President Joe Biden by more than 73,000 votes.

Ex-CIA Chief Under Obama Urges Palace Coup Against Trump So He Doesn’t “Declassify Everything”

Ex-CIA Chief Under Obama Urges Palace Coup Against Trump So He Doesn’t "Declassify Everything"

Tyler Durden

Tue, 11/10/2020 – 18:04

On Monday amid the Trump administration’s election challenge turmoil which has resulted in over a dozen lawsuits filed in several battleground states, Donald Trump Jr. urged the president to unleash the nuclear option"DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING!!!" he urged in all caps. "We can’t let the bad actors get away with it."

Others also picked up on the idea: "Here’s something constructive Trump could do before leaving office at noon on January 20: he could order — demand, insist — that all classified intel and other documents related to the origin of the Russia/election investigation be declassified and released to the public forthwith — unredacted," columnist Sheldon Richman wrote.

It didn’t take long for this distinct possibility to attract the attention of both the mainstream media and the intelligence establishment which has so long been at odds (or even at ‘war’) with the president. Reacting specifically to the ouster of Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday, ex-CIA spy chief under Obama essentially urged a palace coup against Trump prior to January 20th to ensure he doesn’t declassify anything sensitive or too revealing:

In the incredible Monday evening CNN interview, Brennan – himself responsible for stoking the now widely debunked Russiagate claims from the start of the Trump presidency – brazenly urged Vice President Mike Pence to seize power.

He asserted that despite Biden preparing to transition into the White House on inauguration day, still two months away, at this point Trump is a threat to national security:

"I’m very concerned what he might do in his remaining 70 days in office," said Brennan on Monday’s edition of Cuomo Prime Time. "Is he going to take some type of military action? Is he going to release some type of information that could, in fact, threaten our national security interests?"

Brennan took things even further and added specifics in terms of what the former longtime spy chief wants to see happen: "If Vice President Pence and the cabinet had an ounce of fortitude and spine and patriotism, I think they would seriously consider invoking the 25th Amendment and pushing Donald Trump out because he is just very unpredictable now," he added.

And referencing what appears to be a post-election purge and exodus following multiple federal agency top officials either being pushed out or resigning since last Thursday even as votes were being tallied, Brennan suggested this is part of a Trump conspiracy to compromise national security. 

"If Mark Esper has been pushed aside because he is not listening to Donald Trump, carrying out these orders, who knows what his successor, this acting secretary Chris Miller’s going to do if Donald Trump does give some type of order that really is counter to what I think our national security interests need to be," Brennan said.

But thankfully few actually in power are likely to listen to John Brennan, given his sour grapes and anger at Trump has clearly long been personal.

After all, who can forget this episode?

John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director under President Barack Obama, struck back at President Trump on Thursday for revoking his security clearance, calling the president’s claims of "no collusion" with Russia to influence the 2016 election "hogwash" and arguing that the commander in chief was trying to silence anyone who would dare challenge him.

So given Brennan is now openly and literally calling for an illegal overthrow of the president of the United States so he can’t continue his final two months in office, Trump appears fully vindicated in having revoked his security clearance in the first place.

Obama Security Adviser Admits Biden Is Already Talking With Foreign Leaders; A Breach Of The Logan Act

Obama Security Adviser Admits Biden Is Already Talking With Foreign Leaders; A Breach Of The Logan Act

Tyler Durden

Tue, 11/10/2020 – 14:15

Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,

Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes admitted Monday that Joe Biden is already speaking with foreign leaders as if he is the next President, a move that some believe to be a breach of the Logan Act, the same law that President Trump’s former national security adviser Gen. Mike Flynn was prosecuted under.

Rhodes made the comments during an MSNBC interview in which he slammed Trump for contesting the election:

“We’re going to have the pageantry already of the president-elect announcing his advisory board. He’s going to start announcing cabinet secretaries. The center of political gravity in this country and the world is shifting to Joe Biden. Foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden, talking about the agenda they’re going to pursue January 20th,” said Rhodes.

This is the exact same scenario that Obama advisers accused Gen. Flynn of being in prior to Trump’s inauguration, when the former national security advisor was purportedly communicating with foreign officials, including the then Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Flynn was forced to resign after his conversation was exposed by the FBI, which was monitoring Trump campaign officials’ communications at the behest of the Obama administration.

In addition, notes made by former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, which were later made public by the Justice Department, suggested that it was Joe Biden himself who suggested using the Logan Act against Flynn, although the claim was denied by former FBI head James Comey.

After initially pleading guilty to making false statements to the FBI, Flynn retracted the plea in January of this year after claiming that the terms of his plea deal had been violated by government officials.

The case is still ongoing, and under review after documents pertaining to it were discovered to have been altered.

If indeed Biden is speaking off the record with foreign leaders, it adds to the charges stemming from the Hunter Biden laptop case, which allegedly proves that Joe Biden was involved in dodgy foreign business deals with Chinese and Russian government agents.

Current Actual Election Result Update: President Trump Leading In Electoral College With More Paths to Victory Than Biden

Based on actual results and accounting for states currently not called, still counting, recounting, under investigation or audit, or states with election issues now in the courts, President Trump is winning the 2020 Presidential Election.

Per consideration for all the states still in question, President Trump is currently winning the 2020 election.

Here is what we already know.  A number of states have been called but a number are still in question.  Here is a list of those in question.

Pennsylvania – although the current counts show Biden leading there is so much corruption in this state that it is likely that this state will never come to a transparent and agreed upon decision on who wins this state.  President Trump was up by 700,000 votes on election night but more than a million ballots were added since that which eventually stole the election for Biden.  The President has a clear path to victory once the illegal votes are addressed.

Wisconsin – this state as well now shows Biden in the lead but early in the morning after the election more than 100,000 votes magically appeared in Milwaukee.  The current lead for Biden is only 20,000.  If these votes or the exception in the numbers in Rock County are addressed, Trump will likely win this state by a large margin.

Michigan – this state is as well full of fraud.  Lawsuits are in place.  In addition there were over 100,000 votes dumped in Detroit and the lead here was stolen from Trump as well.  Once the illegal votes are eliminated President Trump has a very good chance of winning this state as well.

Georgia – this state too has much fraud.  The President was winning this state on election night by 100,000 votes.  But after the election a program was put in place to basically harvest a number of ballots.  Now Biden leads in this state as well.  Once the harvested ballots are thrown out, this state will go to Trump as well.

Nevada – there is much fraud here as well.  Signatures were not verified on hundreds of thousands of votes.  It is likely that President Trump will win this state if any of the ineligible votes are eliminated here as well.

Arizona – no one knows what the hell is going on here.  Due to the delays in counting and recording a winner, it is likely this state is being stolen from President Trump as well.  What a mess.

Alaska – this still hasn’t been called but it is clearly a red state and should have been called on Election night.  No doubt more monkey business going on here as well.

In spite of all the fraud, the President currently has more roads to win the election than Biden:

If Americans and President Trump obtain fair verdicts in court decisions, President Trump will be declared the winner.  This is all now down to the courts.

The tide is already turning for President Trump


Attorney General Barr just mobilized the Department of Justice to engage as appropriate to investigate this election fraud throughout America. He is on very solid legal grounds.  ​It is a very simple means of addressing the greatest attempted political theft in American history and I would rather be us, Trump Nation, than them, the Democrat Party’s illegal operatives.

This is because President Trump and his team laid the legal ground work for identifying and prosecuting such criminal behavior in 2017:

Federal Prosecution of Election Offensives

Eight Edition 2017

“Our constitutional system of representative government only works when the worth of honest ballots is not diluted by invalid ballots procured by corruption.

The actual fact that AG late last night triggered the use of the DOJ legal handbook bodes very ill for those who are involved in electoral cheating.

For them, when the men and women in suits arrive on their doorstep to politely inquire “can you explain this,” with “this” beking one of many the many felonies listed above, the campaign operative is likely to immediately have a life-altering moment. As often is said: you can go easy or you can go hard, but make no mistake, you are going to address your behavior. And as the joke goes, never steal anything small and the Democrat team certainly took that to heart.

At the moment of an investigation asking a low-level operative ‘what role did you play’ in this grand theft election, the massive conspiracy will begin to crumble. After all what young campaign worker wants to go to jail for Joe Biden? So far, it looks like Biden will have trouble even keeping his own son out of entanglement with potential legal felony charges.

Notice I said men and women in suits. This is because of my very direct personal experience working officially with very honorable FBI Special Agents. I’m not talking about the deep state operatives at the top. I have much faith in the dedicated honor and respect for the rule of law enforced by Special Agents of the FBI in the field.  Adding to that phalanx of the FBI in the field, there is also the absolutely no-nonsense U.S. Marshals Service. And, as the evidence may present itself, there’s also our world class diligent Secret Service agents.

The majesty and mission dedication that all Americans expect of our federal protectors is well placed. Please do not let the horrific aberration of people like Jim Comey, and those like him in D.C. paint in your minds FBI field agents as deep state swamp creatures.

Federal prosecutors also have very solid legal guidelines because the Supreme Court has already established precedent for nationwide election fraud cases. 

See “Anderson v United States, 417 U.S 211, 227 (1974) cited in the Department of Justice criminal file cited above.

Now for the very big and scary surprise for election-stealing criminals: there is a new federal team on the field of battle at the Department of Homeland Security. Note this:

ELECTION INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY

Fair and free elections are a hallmark of American democracy. The American people’s confidence in the value of their vote is principally reliant on their confidence in the security and resilience of the infrastructure that makes the Nation’s elections possible. Accordingly, an electoral process that is both secure and resilient is a vital national interest and one of CISA’s highest priorities.

CISA is committed to working collaboratively with those on the front lines of elections—state and local governments, election officials, federal partners, and vendors—to manage risks to the Nation’s election infrastructure. CISA will remain transparent and agile in its vigorous efforts to secure America’s election infrastructure from new and evolving threats


 

The practical result of these teams fighting in the 2020 election campaign can already be seen.

As interviews are conducted in the field and hard evidence accumulated with federal prosecutors building cases and the need for a “Rocket Docket” directly to the Supreme Court I suspect the conspiracy will crumble as the minions and mid-level political miscreants scurry for legal safe haven. It is simple as the DHS team chases the illegal computer voting “trons” many in criminal legal trouble  may see an opportunity for   get out of jail free plausible deniability.

Essentially “the computer ate my homework” defense, with press claims of what happened a “computer glitch” may swing significant votes back to the correct column.

Sadly, if it takes walking a few conspirators to identify and correct many machine directed mis-votes but so be it.

President Trump will eventually win just look at this early headline at a very local level in the key battleground state of Michigan.

Fixed computer glitch turns losing Republican into a winner in Oakland County

A computer error led election officials in Oakland County to hand an upset victory Wednesday to a Democrat, only to switch the win back to an incumbent Republican a day later.

Soon many “computer errors,” I suspect, will be corrected.

However, those election-thief conspirators that took the analog route by corrupting hard-copy ballots, by either throwing away Trump votes and/or adding illegal Biden votes, well, they can become cooperating witnesses. Or else too bad for them because I hope they enjoy their stay at a “Club Fed” and living with a lifelong felony conviction in the thereafter.
