Though #Smartmatic machines were used in only one #US county during the #2020election — Los Angeles, which #Trump lost by more than 1.8 million — the company has remained a target for Trump & his allies, who have claimed without any evidence that the election was rigged.

“Since returning to office, President Trump has openly waged a campaign of retribution against his perceived enemies — chief among them those who undermine his mantra that the 2020 election was rigged,” attorneys for the company wrote in a court filing Tuesday.

“Put simply,” they added, “the charging decision is consistent with an administration that prioritizes targeting its enemies over equal protection under the law.”

The company also contends that #FoxNews & others #Smartmatic has sued for #defamation for statements about the firm’s voting machines are exploiting the criminal case in their defense.

While such defense claims are notoriously difficult to win in court, they have gained traction with federal judges as the #DOJ under #Trump has increasingly used its authority to target the president’s political foes.

A voting machine company at the heart of #ConspiracyTheories about the #2020election accused the #DOJ Tuesday of bringing a criminal case against it to further Trump’s baseless claims about that vote. 
The parent company of London-based #Smartmatic asked a federal judge to dismiss foreign bribery charges filed against it last year, alleging they amounted to little more than a vindictive & selective prosecution.

Trump braucht die Lüge, er sei um die Wahl 2020 betrogen worden, um die Midterms zu diskreditieren, um Wahlen zu delegitimieren. Ob er an die gestohlene Wahl glaubt oder nicht, das ist völlig egal. Es kommt darauf an, was seine MAGA-Basis glaubt.
Die #BigLie war Ausgangspunkt für d. Sturm aufs Capitol, es ist die Dolchstoßlegende des Trump-Regimes. Die Zahlen 45-47 auf Trumps Kappe sind die Insignien des Staatsstreichs.
