If President Trump could succeed in getting the Des Moines Register and Ann Selzer to the point of discovery in the lawsuit, he would win- BIG TIME. However, getting a judge to allow Trump as a plaintiff to advance a lawsuit to the level that would expose the fraud, is a very uphill battle.

Intellectually honest people know exactly what happened. Ideological political operatives in/around Ann Selzer’s polling operation, perhaps even Ann Selzer herself, manufactured, meaning completely fabricated, a polling outcome of Kamala Harris +3 in the final weekend before the November election.

It likely wasn’t an actual poll per se’, and no one is even sure if any voters were contacted; however, the assembled data analysis was sold as a genuine poll outcome. The poll was 16 points wrong. The claimed Kamala +3 poll was actually Trump +13 in the voter result in Iowa. Quit Pretending – Pollsters don’t miss by 16 points unless they are trying to miss by 16 points.

Selzer didn’t get it wrong or make a mistake. With malicious intent and malice of forethought, Selzer created a fraudulent narrative using a manufactured poll to push it.

If Trump could get to the emails, text messages and various communications from the people in/around Selzer’s polling operation, he would find the explosive planning and coordination in the background. But I doubt it’s going to get that far; a judge will likely try and stop it.

The motive for the poll was simple. In the final days of the Kamala campaign, they were pushing the abortion message as hard as possible to get out the votes. The Iowa +3 poll was the launch vehicle where Selzer proclaimed that a “MASSIVE UPSWING” in Iowa women suddenly shifted the entire race as the women were showing up inside the data to support Kamala.

The corporate media ran with that shock polling narrative on Saturday, Sunday and Monday before election day on Tuesday. It was all nonsense, and Ann Selzer knew it. That’s why Trump is suing her.

(Via Politico) – President-elect Donald Trump is suing retired Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer over her pre-election survey that showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading in the state, calling it “brazen election interference.”

The shock poll, which drew national attention given Selzer’s record of success in Iowa, proved incorrect: Trump won the state by more than 13 points. But that has not stopped the president-elect from claiming the poll was intended to manipulate the results of the election.

“While Selzer is not the only pollster to engage in this corrupt practice, she had a huge platform and following and, thus, a significant and impactful opportunity to deceive voters,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit also represents an escalation of Trump’s pledge to more aggressively pursue litigation against media he views as unfair to him. The case against Selzer comes just after Trump settled another media lawsuit with ABC News and its political anchor George Stephanopoulos for $15 million. (read more)

Just like the ABC case, if President Trump can get to the discovery phase, he wins.

The Des Moines Register will never permit Ann Selzer to sit for a deposition where she likely describes the people who did everything for her, under her name, and claims she had no idea what they were doing.  Nor will anyone associated with the plan allow their emails and text messages, which clearly evidence the structure of the fraud, being reviewed in discovery.

If President Trump’s lawyers got close to discovery where depositions and communications were going to be revealed, the DMR and Selzer would throw massive money at him to settle the lawsuit, just like ABC did…. for exactly the same reason.
