Above, Rush Limbaugh and President Trump.

When I saw the Rudy Giuliani press conference last week, my initial reaction (besides disgust) was that the lawyers for the Trump Campaign laid out well the problems in different states with the election vote tabulation. That they did not show any specific evidence was not bothersome, as I figured they are holding it for the courts instead of for the press.
Since then, the press conference became a nothing-burger in the eyes of Trump supporters. Where's the beef?
Rush Limbaugh discussed the press conference yesterday. Everything he said is right.
Here's some snippets:
You call a gigantic press conference like that, one that lasts an hour, and you announce massive bombshells, then you better have some bombshells. There better be something at that press conference other than what we got, such as a hacker who can tell us, yep, everything these guys have said is true. I’ve looked into it. I’ve run the software, I’ve hacked this, I’ve hacked that. Even put him behind a screen, if you want to protect his identity.
I talked to so many people who were blown away by it, by the very nature of the press conference. They promised blockbuster stuff, and then nothing happened. And that’s just not good. I mean, if you’re gonna promise blockbuster stuff like that, then there has — now, I understand — look, I’m the one that’s been telling everybody, this stuff doesn’t happen at warp speed, light speed the way cases are made for presentation in court, but if you’re gonna do a press conference like that with the promise of blockbusters, then there has to be something more than what that press conference delivered.
Christopher Bedford says, “There’s a problem here, and it’s more than the tens of millions of dollars hopeful Americans have poured into a legal fight they feel is necessary… The problem is this battle is far too important to be buried by conspiracy-theory accusations from the left and its media, which means it’s far too important to be left to conspiracy theorists.
“Election fraud is not just a real issue, it is a deadly serious one…” It is. This is… Folks, this is why from the very beginning, we spent a lot of time — I spent a lot time tweeting and pontificating — here that this is about the Constitution, the rule of law, and the integrity of the American electoral system. It really is about that.
It’s not about just trying to secure a legitimate victory for Trump if he had one. It’s not just that. Because if this actually is fraud — if it is fraud on the massive scale many people believe it is — then it deserves much more than conspiracy theory treatment. It deserves a serious investigation regardless how long it takes. There isn’t a time limit that’s too short.
You cannot fix this by putting an artificial time limit on it, saying, “You got two days to fix it,” or two weeks, whatever. This is crucial. This is as important as anything could be. The Constitution hangs in the balance. The electoral system hangs in the balance. If this fraud that has been widely alleged — if it occurred, it has to be found out. It has to be discovered through the courts.
It has to be discovered with evidence. It has to be persuasive and convince-able via evidence, and it needs to happen, and it needs to happen outside the purview of the humor of conspiracy theories. It’s too important. It’s too crucial. And it should not, as I say, have any kind of an artificial time limit on it. Because if this is genuine fraud, real fraud, and it’s not addressed and fixed?
