Evidence (2020-12-23): Cromwell finishes up his speech and just has one thing he wants to check. He just doesn’t want to suffer. [...] And Cromwell is now definitely dead. After his head was displayed for a while he was buried in the church of St Peter ad Vincula in the tower. [...] And it would turn out that the next iteration of Cromwell was, as far as talent went, a cross between Napoleon and Thatcher, and about as flexible. And what the Cromwell line had been shedding in its near century long quiet fade was all scraps of deference, and religious uncertainty. And it produced a man who, in the depths of the Civil War, helped bring into being the New Model army, commanded it to become became the original model Old Ironsides, and thought:

Evidence (2024-09-16): Anyway those are the announcements, now we must return to 1651, and the aftermath of Cromwell’s triumph over Charles II at Worcester. And after the battle, London welcomed its conquering hero with open arms. As Oliver came into the city on 12th September, cheering crowds lined the streets, with such enthusiasm, that some republicans worried that he would mount this wave of relief and popularity with his blade, his soft top, and surf into a new role as head of state. But to those who see Cromwell as power hungry or a megalomaniac – well there was no sign of this kind of ambition, in neither public nor private, just a dose of humility [...] So in one of the loonier initiatives of the Commonwealth, in March 1651 Oliver St John led a delegation over to the Netherlands. The delegation included one John Thurloe, a fellow East Anglian, lawyer and, as St John wrote, ‘bred in his service’. John Thurloe was a clever, efficient, straight-talking, devious but basically honest man. We will hear of him again.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Died: September 3, 1658 [...] Oliver Cromwell was an English general and statesman who, first as a subordinate and later as Commander-in-Chief, led armies of the Parliament of England against King Charles I during the English Civil War, subsequently ruling the British Isles as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death in 1658. He acted simultaneously as head of state and head of government of the new republican commonwealth. [...] A sad day it was, and a repaying of blood with blood. For in the time of Oliver Cromwell, when several men were put to death by him, being hung, drawn and quartered for pretended treasons, I felt from the Lord God that their blood would be required; and I said as much then to several. And now, upon the King's return, several that had been against him were put to death, as the others that were for him had been before by Oliver. This was sad work, destroying people; contrary to the nature of Christians

Evidence (2024-03-03): More than his conviction of sexual assault – in truth a rape – and his multiple indictments, Donald Trump’s most grievous fault has been his attempt at obstructing the democratic transfer of power by encouraging his supporters to violently oppose the certification of the election in 2021, and his continuous false claim that he, in fact, won in 2020. [...] The result is that the election lie has become the norm and now a loyalty test within the party. A vast majority of new congressional members in 2022 have in turn cast doubt on the 2020 results. When Kevin McCarthy proved to be insufficiently loyal to Trump, he was replaced as Speaker of the House by Mike Johnson, a Christian nationalist and staunch election denier. [...] Questioning electoral results is a constant theme for Donald Trump. In 2012, he called Barack Obama’s re-election a "total sham and a travesty", adding that "we are not a democracy" and that it would be necessary to "march on Washington" and stop what he claimed was a "travesty". In 2016, he contested, with no evidence whatsoever, the results of the Iowa caucus and the popular vote won by Hillary Clinton, attributing it to "millions of illegal votes".

Evidence (2024-09-11): Trump repeats false claims over 2020 election loss, deflects responsibility for Jan. 6 WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump persisted in saying during the presidential debate that he won the 2020 election and took no responsibility for any of the mayhem that unfolded at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the building to block the peaceful transfer of power. [...] An Associated Press review of every potential case of voter fraud in the six battleground states disputed by Trump found fewer than 475. Biden took Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and their 79 electoral votes by a combined 311,257 votes out of 25.5 million ballots cast for president. The disputed ballots represent just 0.15% of his victory margin in those states.

Evidence (2024-04-02): "You know we won this state. We won this state by a lot. It came out that we won this," Trump told the crowd at a rally here. Trump won Wisconsin in 2016; he did not win it in 2020. Turnout was higher in 2020 than it was four years earlier, so Trump did get more votes than he did in 2016 — but it was over 20,000 votes short of what Joe Biden received. [...] Wisconsin played a central role in Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Two attorneys who worked for Trump orchestrated a plan that originated in Wisconsin for fake electors to falsify paperwork saying he won the state, according to a lawsuit settlement reached more than three years after the 2020 election. That strategy was replicated in other key battleground states.

Evidence (2020-11-07): Let the 2020 election bury the mistaken notion once and for all that the 2016 election was a historical accident, an American aberration. [...] But Donald Trump also lost the presidency in 2020 partly because he was a norm-busting political outsider who was prepared to say what had previously been unsayable. [...] But the 2020 election was not a re-run of the 2016 election. This time he was the incumbent, not the insurgent. He had a record to defend, including his mishandling of a coronavirus outbreak which by Election Day had killed more than 230,000 Americans. In this age of negative partisanship, where politics is often driven by loathing of the opposition, he was not pitted against a hate figure like Hillary Clinton.

While encouraging the crowd in the key battleground state to "turn out and vote in record numbers," Trump reiterated previous false claims about the last election. "You know last time, last election, we did great in 2016 a lot of people don't know we did much better in 2020," he said. "We won, we won, we did win. It was a rigged election, it was a rigged election."

Evidence (2023-09-17): Former President Donald Trump acknowledged in a new interview that, despite receiving counsel from multiple people that the 2020 election was not stolen, he pushed ahead anyway with his false claims to try and overturn the results. The comments to NBC’s "Meet the Press" directly address a central premise of special counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results: that Trump knew the election claims he was making were false after being told by several close aides that he had lost. [...] In the indictment against Trump, prosecutors detailed the "prolific lies" Trump made in the wake of the 2020 election, including knowingly pushing false claims of voter fraud and voting machines switching votes despite state and federal officials telling him the claims were wrong.

Evidence (2024-10-05): "Anytime you have a mail-in ballot, there is going to be massive fraud," he told Dr. Phil McGraw on Aug. 27. Trump vowed "long-term prison sentences" for election "cheaters." At a Sept. 13 rally in Las Vegas, he said, "We have a good lead, but we’ve got to be careful because remember, they cheat like hell." Trump summarized his concerns into one rant in an interview with conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root: "We have a rigged election. We have bad borders, we have very bad elections. We have a bad voting system. We have mail-in ballots." It’s important for voters to know that his election claims are wildly false, just as they were in 2016 and 2020. We wanted to help voters understand why. Trump’s claims could discourage voters, including Republicans, from participating in the election. If they think their votes won’t count as a result of Democratic scheming, fraudulent mail-in voting, and noncitizens participating illegally, then why should they bother? "As a Republican, it bothers me when Trump says that we win without voter fraud," said Trey Grayson, former Kentucky secretary of state. "On the one hand, it is literally true.
