‘Find the fraud’: Trump pressured a Georgia elections investigator in a separate call legal experts say could amount to obstruction
-
So far that's three calls to Georgia that we know of...
- to the Governor Kemp to berate him for ceritfying the state's results;
- to the Secretary of state (the recorded call); and
- this one to pressure an elections' investigator.
I'm putting the Over/Under at 5 and taking the Over...

Damn.... looks like I may have missed one. It's Federal level, but it is in Georgia so I think it should count making the total four.
Looks like my taking the Over is promising...

White House Forced Georgia U.S. Attorney to Resign
Pressure for resignation was part of broader push by President Trump to overturn state’s election results
White House officials pushed Atlanta’s top federal prosecutor to resign before Georgia’s U.S. Senate runoffs because President Trump was upset he wasn’t doing enough to investigate the president’s unproven claims of election fraud, people familiar with the matter said.
A senior Justice Department official, at the behest of the White House, called the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Byung J. Pak late on the night of Jan. 3. In that call the official said Mr. Trump was furious there was no investigation related to election fraud and that the president wanted to fire Mr. Pak, the people said.
Mr. Pak resigned abruptly on Monday—the day before the runoffs—saying in an early morning email to colleagues that his departure was due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Mr. Pak, who had a job lined up in the private sector, planned to leave by the end of the administration and had drafted a resignation letter, people familiar with his plans said.
