It’s difficult to overstate how dangerous such a declaration would be for American democracy. It would mean a president is attempting to sidestep the Constitution, which empowers states to run elections, in order to prevent his party from losing. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Could Trump take over voting by declaring a ‘national emergency’?
Advocates agree such an attempt would be blatantly unconstitutional but still worry that such an emergency order could suppress voting nonetheless.

A few hundred noncitizen votes are a national scandal. But when states reject hundreds of thousands of ballots from eligible voters, it’s business as usual
One state rejected ballots because some voters failed to include their mother’s maiden name on the back of the return envelope.

I’m spitballing here, but: “Petrol thieves” sent to scout base and get information on surveillance/response times. Trump’s “they wanted to do big damage” comment could be a lie, but could be a leak of a classified assessment referring to the actual would-be attackers, not the recon element.

I mean, how about just a basic follow-up of "ok, do we actually have any evidence that he was at this game?" They just looked up that there was an NBA game in Atlanta at that time and assumed he was there. They made NO effort to actually corroborate in any way.
