New House Judiciary Committee Chair says Donald Trump will be nailed for “rigging” the election

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

In the days after the 2016 election, Palmer Report examined the voting results in key swing states and determined that they were statistically impossible, and that the election somehow had to have been rigged in Donald Trump’s favor, even though we didn’t know how, or by whom. As time went on, it became clear that Russia had rigged it through voter registration hacks, social media scams, and other techniques, and that Trump was in on it.

Until fairly recently, Palmer Report has taken heat from all sides – particularly from the mainstream media – for using words like “rigging” and “rigged” to describe the 2016 presidential results. But as the real world evidence piles up which confirms our original mathematical premise that the specific results in those swing states were statistically impossible, these words have become far more common and less controversial. In fact one of the people who will decide when and how to oust Donald Trump just used the word “rigging” himself.

Jerry Nadler is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, where the impeachment process begins. Because of the crucial position he’s in, he tends to choose his words very carefully, not wanting to get out ahead of himself. But he just told CNN that he’ll have his committee look into the 2016 election, “specifically the attempt to have a massive fraud on the American people in terms of rigging an American presidential election and undermining the integrity of the election … and we have to look into that, whether it’s by hush payments or by collusion with Russians or by any other means.”

In other words, one of the officials in charge of Donald Trump’s ouster is now referring to Trump and his allies “rigging” the election. Nadler is using this word at the correct time; he and the House Democrats weren’t in a position to do anything about it until now. But the media should have been using words like “rigged” from day one, because everyone paying close attention has known all along that these were indeed rigged results. Now that the House leadership is using the word, will the media finally begin doing the same? Trump rigged this election, and he isn’t the “president” of anything.
