AUDITING COMPUTER RESULTS, TO DETECT ELECTION FRAUD. WHAT A GOOD IDEA, IF YOU WANT HONEST ELECTIONS. (GUESS THE U.S. ISN'T READY.)

(LETS SEE: BOLIVIA AUDITS ELECTIONS TO CATCH COMPUTER FRAUD, AND EXPOSE THE "IMPOSTER," WHILE THE U.S. PLACES THE BENEFICIARY OF ELECTION FRAUD IN THE WHITE HOUSE, IGNORING EVIDENCE THAT CLEARLY INDICATES "BOGUS" RETURNS IN A NUMBER OF STATES. 

ANOTHER PROUD MOMENT IN THE DONALD TRUMP ERA.

(NPR NEWS.)
Bolivian President Evo Morales has resigned amid widespread protests across the country alleging fraud in the presidential election that he declared himself the winner of just three weeks ago.
"It is my obligation, as the indigenous president and as the president of all Bolivians, to look for peace," Morales said in a televised address on Sunday. "For this and many reasons, I am resigning."
Morales added that he felt deeply sorry for what he referred to as a "civic coup."
Since October's election, Bolivia has descended further into turmoil as allegations of fraud cast a cloud over the results of the vote. Morales initially called for new elections early on Sunday, after the Organization of American States released a preliminary audit indicating "serious security flaws" and a "clear manipulation" of a computer system, which the audit says ultimately affected the final count.
"The manipulations to the computer system are of such a magnitude that they should be deeply investigated by the Bolivian government to get to the bottom of and assign responsibilities in this serious case," the audit said.
The audit wasn't the only factor likely forcing Morales' hand: Police across the country began to declare themselves in mutiny, joining the throngs of protestors. In several cities, there have been reports of officers marching with demonstrators and chanting opposition slogans.
Williams Kaliman, commander of the Bolivian armed forces, said Saturday at a press conference that the military would not confront protestors.
"We will never face the people who we serve and we will always ensure peace between our brothers and the development of our country," Kaliman said.
Luis Fernando Camacho, a Bolivian protest leader, tweeted that he "cried with joy" at the mutiny of police forces, thanking them for "being with the people

THE TRUMP IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATIONS, AND HEARINGS. PART 3.

As the House of Rep. continues its investigation into whether or not DONALD TRUMP should be IMPEACHED, there are several issues that are not being properly addressed;

#1. How he has been allowed to use the elected office of PRESIDENT as a means to promote PURELY PRIVATE ENTERPRISES:

-  FINANCIAL GET RICH SCHEMES, BOTH AS A CANDIDATE, AND THE OFFICE ITSELF.

-  PRIVATE MEDICAL PLANS CALLED "TRUMPCARE."

...without any objection as to the Criminality of such behavior, makes absolutely no sense, since the evidence for both is extensive. (SEE MY ARTICLES)

#2. While the focus has been on the charge of "BRIBERY", MENTIONED IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AS A REASON FOR IMPEACHMENT, AND REMOVAL FROM OFFICE (FOR GOOD REASON), LET US REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING, THE ENTIRE WORDING THAT REFERENCES "IMPEACHMENT."

ARTICLE 2, SECTION 4.


The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I would like to point that that while TREASON AND BRIBERY ARE MENTIONED, the following

are also included; ...or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

With the Testimony we have already heard, TOGETHER WITH THE INVESTIGATION OF RUSSIAN INVOLVEMENT IN THE 2016 ELECTION, (EMPHASIZING THE BOGUS RETURNS THAT HANDED THE OFFICE TO DONALD TRUMP), AND THE USE OF THE OFFICE TO PROMOTE PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, (SEE ABOVE), WE MIGHT ALSO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING CHARGES*:


Lets start with BRIBE.

BRIBE- money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust.

CONSPIRACY- (CONSPIRE)- to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement.

INFLUENCE PEDDLINGis the illegal practice of using one's influence in government or connections with persons in authority to obtain favours or preferential treatment for another, 

usually in return for payment. 

COLLUSION- secret agreement or cooperation especially for an illegal or deceitful purpose.
