RUSH EXCERPT:
NESSEL: "Here’s how I look at it. If you’d go into a casino and you try your hand at blackjack, and you lose, so you tried to rob the casino, I’m going to charge you with that. It does not matter that maybe four years later you somehow get back into that same casino, and this time you win and you just peacefully go home with your winnings. It does not absolve you of the crime that you tried to commit four years ago. And I’m not dropping the charges. I brought these pieces because I believe these people were guilty of the crimes for which they are alleged to have committed. And just because their candidate happened to win this time does not make them any less guilty of the crime they committed four years ago. But even more than that, you know, the damage that they did to people’s beliefs and our system of elections, we used the exact same procedures, policies, laws, and election equipment as we did last time, and I did not hear them complaining about there being fraud in the system this time when their candidate won. You can’t only love democracy and only support free and fair elections when your candidate is the winning candidate."
