1) 4-12-2005 And this was so completely different than the old-style [House Speaker] Newt Gingrich politics that I had associated with the Republican Party, which was "Burn government down." George Bush was saying, "No, let's not burn it down; let's make sure there's an appropriate, limited role for government, but let's be proactive about this and make it work for us." https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:wliFVZJ6R8sJ:https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/architect/interviews/mckinnon.html+&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

3) 10-21-20 US Supreme Court split 4-4 Monday over a Republican plea to undo a state court order and force elections officials to ignore absentee ballots received after Election Day, Nov. 3. The tie vote left the Pennsylvania court order in effect and allows mailed ballots to be counted if they are received by Nov. 6. Chief Justice John Roberts and his three liberal colleagues voted to leave the court order in place. https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-state-courts-voting-pennsylvania-amy-coney-barrett-c13e057a7fd30c57fbf23c1e98a4be9c

4) 11-16-20 Bush’s top strategist in 2000 said in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that Trump’s litigation to overturn Biden leads won’t succeed because there’s no evidence of the systemic fraud that Trump must prove. And he said a recount underway in Georgia won’t flip that state either. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/trump-has-no-path-to-win-bushs-2000-florida-recount-team-says/ [In 1973 Skull &Bones-man George H.W. Bush chose Rove to chair the College Republicans, then hired him to be a special assistant at the Republican National Committee, where he ran errands for Bush. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/karl-rove-and-the-modern-money-machine-108019_Page3.html]

5) 11-17-20 Sec. of State Frank LaRose (R-OH), like a few other Republican, also said President Donald Trump has a right to make his case in court, but that he should do so quickly for the sake of an orderly transition….“I certainly have faith in Ohio’s elections, and I believe that other states… almost all, I think all the other states do it very well also,” LaRose said during an interview Monday with reporters and editors from cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer. “All I’m saying is there’s a reason why there’s an opportunity to present evidence in a courtroom, and if you have that evidence you have to bring it forward and vet it out. Maybe it can even be cathartic for people to see it play out, but it has to happen quickly. That’s my point. If anybody believes that there’s something out there, they need to show evidence. Otherwise, making claims without any basis or evidence behind it is problematic,” he said. https://www.cleveland.com/open/2020/11/ohio-secretary-of-state-frank-larose-weve-gone-down-the-path-of-constantly-challenging-the-elections-when-we-dont-like-the-results.html

7) 1-21-21 Former FBI Director James Comey said in an interview published Thursday that the Republican Party must “be burned to the ground” before it can rebuild now that former President Trump's term in the Oval Office has ended. Comey told Australia’s ABC “7.30” news program that the GOP “doesn't stand for anything that is valuable to our country. It doesn't stand for anything that is other than a cult of personality around a man who is a demagogue and a liar,” he added. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/535195-comey-republican-party-has-to-be-burned-to-the-ground
