Let's play part of that
conversation.
Mr. Trump: All I want to do is
this, I just want to find
11,780 votes, which is one
more than we have because we won
the state.
Rep. Schiff: Was the president
asking for exactly what he
wanted, one more vote than his
opponent?
Mr. Roethlisberger: What I knew
is we did not have any votes to
find.
We investigated.
There were no votes to find.
That was an accurate count that
had been certified.
As our general counsel said,
there was no shredding of
ballots.
Rep. Schiff: After making this
request, the president goes back
to the danger of having you deny
these allegations of fraud.
Let's play that part of the
clip.
Mr. Trump: I watched you this
morning, and you said there was
no criminality.
All of this stuff is dangerous
stuff when you talk about no
criminality.
I think it is dangerous for you
to say that.
Rep. Schiff: You wrote about
this in your book.
You sai, "I felt than and still
believe to this day it is a
threat.
Some of president trump's more
radical followers responded as
if it was their duty to carry
out this threat."
Please explain what you, your
wife, and your daughter-in-law
faced following these threats.
Mr. Roethlisberger: After the
election, my email, cell phone
was doxxed subsequently,.
My wife started getting texts,
and hers typically came in a
sexual passion.
Tricia and I met in high school,
married 40 years.
They started going after her to
put pressure on me.
Why don't you just quit, walk
away?
That happened.
Then some people broke into my
daughter-in-law's home.
My son is passed, and she is a
widow and has two kids.
We are concerned about her
safety, obviously.
Rep. Schiff: Why did you not
just quit and walk away?
Mr. Roethlisberger: I knew that
we had followed the law, the
constitution.
I think sometimes moments
require you to stand up.
You are doing your job.
That is all we did.
We just followed the law and the
constitution.
At the end of the day, president
trump came up short.
I had to be faithful to the
constitution.
That is what I swore to do.
Rep. Schiff: During the
remainder of the call, the
former president continued to
press you to find votes that
would assure his victory in
Georgia.
Mr. Trump: Why would you not
want to find the right answer
instead of saying the numbers
are right?
Can you get together tomorrow?
We just want the truth.
It is simple.
Everyone is going to look very
good if the truth comes out.
It is ok.
Let the truth come out.
The real truth is I won by
400,000 votes.
I only need 11,000 votes.
I need 11,000 votes.
Give me a break.
Rep. Schiff: Four days after the
president's call to secretary
raffensperger was January 6.
The president once again
promoting the allegation that
secretaryroethlisberger.
Mr. Trump: Fulton county poll
watchers rejected from the room
on the false pretense of a water
main burst, which we now know
was a lie.
Election officials pull boxes,
Democrats, suitcases of ballots
out from under a table.
You saw it on television.
Illegally scanned them for two
hours unsupervised.
Tens of thousands of votes.
This coincided with a mysterious
vote dump of up to 100,000 votes
