Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed John D. O’Connor.
This segment shows that this impeachment is meant to demonize any claims that the recent election was unfair. The Impeachment Brief of the Democrats speaks of Trump’s false statements “without evidence.” While Pres. Trump incorrectly felt he should have won some of his court filings
in fact the Courts are not the proper place to re-litigate an election; these cases should not have been successful. That said, these defeats do not mean that there was no irregularity in the election, understanding that true “fraud” is only part of the problem. So when pundits like Stephanopoulos and politicians say there was “no evidence” of a problematic election, they are wrong. Citizens should understand these distinctions.
