Why Mike Lindell’s Election Fraud Video Should be Played at the Impeachment Trial

On Friday, February 5th, Mike Lindell—Mr. My Pillow—released to America a video entitled Absolute Proof. Therein, he purports to provide irrefutable evidence that both domestic and foreign conspirators fraudulently derailed the 2020 election to unlawfully defeat President Trump and illegally deliver a victory to Joe Biden.

What is telling is that, to date, the evidence of that fraud presented by Mr. Lindell has only been denied, but not demonstrably refuted. 

In the minds of thoughtful persons, the foregoing should eventually lead them to ask: where is the F.B.I in all of this? Particularly when the nation this institution is supposed to serve needs it more now than ever to confirm or deny such claims of election fraud that have understandably upset and divided so many.

In the impeachment trial this week, the Democrat managers have repeatedly accused the President of inciting an insurrection—a serious felony—in large part by inflaming his supporters with the “lie”(according to the Dems) that the election had been stolen by fraud. Which, of course, raises the question: Was the President lying about the election being stolen, or not?

If it was stolen, he clearly would not have been lying to incite his supporters. Rather he would have been exercising his right to free speech to assert a truth. And if it turns out that that truth is what incited 80 million voters to be upset, then clearly it is the perpetrators of that election fraud who would be guilty of the exact crime for which they are presently accusing the President—i.e. inciting a riot. In other words, one might reasonably ask, are the advocates of impeachment attempting to project on to the President guilt for a crime for which it is they themselves who are guilty?

Isn’t this a question the F.B.I. should have already investigated and answered in the months since November 3rd?
