AG Merrick Garland Announces DAG Lisa Monaco Will Lead DOJ Effort to Frame Political Opposition as Domestic Terrorists, Equates January 6th DC Protest to 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 15, 2021 | Sundance | 503 Comments

The coordination of narrative engineering across all agencies of the U.S. government is quite remarkable. Today Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco (Obama crew) will lead a “whole of government” effort to label any political opposition to the Biden regime as “domestic terrorists”.

To facilitate that objective, Garland announced that DAG Monaco is reconstituting “the domestic terrorism executive committee“, an investigative agency process used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma bombing in 1995. Additionally, Garland is noting the January 6th Capitol Hill protest was the current equivalent of the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people and injured 680. The Domestic Terrorism committee, led by Monaco, will focus their efforts at ensuring the center of U.S. government is never again put at risk.

You only need to watch the first 4 minutes of the video below to see the framework of the narrative being deployed. Garland’s statements align with Nancy Pelosi’s legislative demand to weaponize a January 6th Commission for the same political intents and purposes.  [White House Announcement Here]

As announced the Biden administration will use the opportunity of the protest against the 2020 election outcome to set into place various multi-agency monitoring systems to “identify threats”, “monitor behaviors” and “conduct surveillance” on all Americans, in effort to identify the “domestic extremists”.  This, they hope, will help eliminate  any political push-back in the upcoming 2022 mid-term election.

The purpose of this announcement should be crystal clear to everyone.  We discussed and outlined the background previously.  {Go Deep 1} and {Go Deep Two}

In the background of these maneuvers Big Tech and Corporate Media have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative; and any truth-tellers are considered subversive, ie. against the interests of the U.S. government.

The January 6th DC protest is being used as evidence for that narrative. Deplatforming, censorship and ultimately control of voices who would warn of the larger issues continues daily.

Let me be very clear… stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen.  Approximately 100 million American voters are considered dissidents now.

WHITE HOUSE – […] Under Federal law, “domestic terrorism” is defined as “activities that involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.”

The review was rooted in an expert assessment of the domestic terrorism threat provided by the intelligence and law enforcement communities. An unclassified summary of that assessment was released in March so the public could see the key findings. It found that the two most lethal elements of today’s domestic terrorism threat are (1) racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists who advocate for the superiority of the white race and (2) anti-government or anti-authority violent extremists, such as militia violent extremists.

To develop a government-wide strategy to counter domestic terrorists, the Biden Administration consulted extensively with a wide array of experts across the U.S. Government as well as with leaders in Congress, state and local governments, academia, civil society, religious communities, and foreign governments. Throughout the process, we embraced the protection of civil rights and civil liberties as a national security imperative. The strategy we are releasing today is carefully tailored to address violence and reduce the factors that lead to violence, threaten public safety, and infringe on the free expression of ideas. It is organized around four pillars – the core elements of how the Biden Administration will improve the U.S. Government’s response to this persistent, evolving, and lethal threat to our people, our democracy, and our national security:

[…]  Drawing on the expertise of a variety of departments and agencies, the U.S. Government has revamped support to community partners who can help to prevent individuals from ever reaching the point of committing terrorist violence. The U.S. Government will strengthen domestic terrorism prevention resourcesand services. For the first time, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated “Domestic Violent Extremism” as a National Priority Area within the Department’s Homeland Security Grant Program, which means that over $77 million will be allocated to state, local, tribal, and territorial partners to prevent, protect against, and respond to domestic violent extremism. DHS and FBI are working to strengthen local prevention, threat assessment, and threat management frameworks. The Department of Defense (DOD) is incorporating training for servicemembers separating or retiring from the military on potential targeting of those with military training by violent extremist actors. The U.S. Government will improve public awareness of federal resources to address concerning or threatening behavior before violence occurs.

The U.S. Government will augment its efforts to address online terrorist recruitment and mobilization to violence by domestic terrorists through increased information sharing with the technology sector and the creation of innovative ways to foster digital literacy and build resilience to recruitment and mobilization. The United States also recently joined the Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online, an international partnership between governments and technology companies that works to develop new multilateral solutions to eliminating terrorist content online while safeguarding the freedom of online expression.

[…] The work of Federal law enforcement as well as our state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement partners is critical to countering domestic terrorism. The U.S. Government will increase support to Federal, state, and local law enforcement in addressing domestic terrorism nationwide. U.S. Attorney’s Offices and FBI field offices across the country have formally made domestic terrorism a top priority and are tracking comprehensively domestic terrorism-related cases, reallocating or requesting appropriate funding and resources as needed to target the threat. That includes over $100 million in additional resources for DOJ, FBI, and DHS included in the President’s Fiscal Year 2022 Budget to ensure that the Federal Government has the analysts, investigators, prosecutors, and other personnel and resources it needs to thwart domestic terrorism and do justice when the law has been broken. State, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement will have access to increased intelligence sharing and training on domestic terrorism and associated threats. DOJ is closely examining whether new legislative authorities that balance safety and the protection of civil liberties are necessary and appropriate.

The U.S. Government is improving employee screening to enhance methods for identifying domestic terrorists who might pose insider threats. The Office of Personnel Management will consider updates to the forms used to apply for sensitive roles in the Federal Government that could assist investigators in identifying potential domestic terrorism threats. DOD, DOJ, and DHS are similarly pursuing efforts to ensure domestic terrorists are not employed within our military or law enforcement ranks and improve screening and vetting processes. Training and resources will be developed for state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement partners as well as sensitive private sector partners to enable them to enhance their own employee screening programs and prevent individuals who pose domestic terrorism threats from being placed in positions of trust.

[…] In implementing this strategy, and at the direction of President Biden, we will remain focused on addressing violence and reducing the threat of violence while vigilantly safeguarding peaceful expression of a wide range of views and freedom of political association. (read more)

No-one Knows What the Heck Biden is Talking About

End All Holiday Names – School Rules


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civilization Re-Posted Jun 15, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Well, here we go. This entire “woke” movement is made up of a bunch of hypocrites. They are demanding that Columbus statutes and Columbus Day be changed to Indigenous People Day. This has all come to a head in New Jersey where the school board of Randolph Township in Morris County was forced to remove ALL holiday names from their academic calendar.

Some students protested Columbus Day and demanded it is renamed Indigenous People’s Day on their school calendar. Quite frankly, they are not indigenous and I would say you are expelled from school and you should return to the country of your origin. If you want to protest a day’s name while enjoying the space that was once indigenous occupied before Columbus, you are an absolute hypocrite.

One board member responded: “If we don’t have anything on the calendar, we don’t have to have anyone [with] hurt feelings or anything like that.” Everything seems to offend someone. I would pass a law saying anyone who protests “Columbus Day” should forfeit their citizenship and be transported back to the country of their origin.

An estimated 1.9 million people in the USA are members of one of over 500 federally recognized Indian tribes. However, taxpayers and tax professionals are often confused about taxes on tribal benefits – and whether they’re taxed at all. The Supreme Court settled this dispute in 1956 when the Court declared that Native Americans “…in ordinary affairs of life, not governed by treaties or remedial legislation … are subject to the payment of income taxes as are other citizens.”

Arizona AG Fires Shot Across the Bow Against Federal Intervention in a State Audit

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich [Twitter Acct Here] writes a strong letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy AG Lisa Monaco after their public threats to intervene in state election audits.

While reminding the DOJ about the 10th amendment, Brnovich writes: The DOJ seems “more interested in supporting the hysterical outcries of leftist pundits on cable television, rather than the rule of law.” … “My office is not amused by the DOJ’s posturing and will not tolerate any effort to undermine or interfere with our State Senate’s audit to reassure Arizonans of the accuracy of our elections:

“Whenever possible, throw sand in the machinery”

A brilliant display of strategy as Fox26 (Houston, Texas) Journalist Ivory Hecker uses a live broadcast to notify her audience that Fox News has been censoring the content of media reporting for ideological reasons.

The network couldn’t block the transmission because it was live, and they didn’t know it was coming.  WATCH:

Obviously James O’Keefe and Project Veritas knew this was coming in advance, as highlighted by their capture of the moment.  Brilliant coordination and use of the corporate machine against their own interests.  Breitbart is smiling, James.   The Truth Has No Agenda

Why JoeBama Picked Garland – U.S. Senate Confirms Ketanji Brown Jackson as DC Circuit Judge – Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski Supported (Vote 53-47)


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 14, 2021 | Sundance | 95 Comments

First, REMIND YOURSELF HERE of the larger objective.

Merrick Garland was not selected for U.S. Attorney General because JoeBama wanted him as AG.  Factually Garland is not radical enough for the Obama crew to give an enthusiastic elevation.  [Nope, that’s why they installed Lisa Monaco as Deputy AG to keep tabs on Garland and focus him on the bigger objectives.]   The real reason why they selected Garland was this:

(Via Reuters) Democrats overcame Republican opposition on Monday as the U.S. Senate voted to confirm federal judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, seen as a possible future Supreme Court nominee for President Joe Biden, to an influential appellate court.

The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 53-44 to approve Jackson’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. All those in opposition were Republicans, with three voting with Democrats to approve the nomination.

Biden nominated Jackson, a Washington-based U.S. district judge, to the D.C. Circuit to replace Attorney General Merrick Garland on the bench. That appellate court has served as a springboard to the Supreme Court in the past, including for current Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh. (read more)

The vote was 53-47 [link here] Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Lindsey Graham voted with Democrats to support KBJ to the circuit court. This Deep State manuever was transparently predictable. {Go Deep}  This was the real reason why Biden elevated Merrick Garland to AG, to get him out of the way for Ketanji Brown Jackson to work her way to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.  Obama would then have another tool for total control.

As we predicted in March, “this is how they roll”… With Obama’s crew you always have to watch the other hand; the third and fourth moves.

MARCH 2021 – Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court.  Garland’s replacement will be a senate confirmed seat for that court.

Once that replacement is senate confirmed, we anticipate (almost to a certainty) that replacement will be quickly elevated to a Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Stephen Bryer, now 82-years-old.  The senate will have no political ammunition to block or not confirm the radical SCOTUS pick because she will have been confirmed a few months before. It’s a smart play.

Garland himself is too old (69) and too centrist for the interests of the JoeBama ideology; but watch for JoeBama-Biden to move activist DC District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (50), twenty years Garland’s junior, into the DC Circuit Appeals Court role.

Despite her known activist ideology, Judge Kentanji Brown-Jackson will likely achieve senate confirmation without issue for the circuit court role.  Soon thereafter Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer announces his departure, and Judge Brown-Jackson is quickly nominated as Bryer’s replacement.

Having passed senate confirmation recently, activist Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson  -a black female who checks all the boxes- is then positioned to avoid senate challenge and will move swiftly through the SCOTUS confirmation process.

It is a typically Obama-esque play.  As a stand alone nomination for SCOTUS she would be a radical pick; Justice Brown-Jackson is a known activist in the DC District Court; however, with this maneuver she could get through nomination easier and then sit on the highest court for thirty years.

Additionally, Obama’s former White House Homeland Security Advisor, Lisa Monaco, will be Deputy Attorney General supporting Garland.  Monaco then becomes the insurance policy to keep an eye-out for the ideological needs of the JoeBama administration, and assist with the smart political targeting that will come from the DOJ, FBI and the IRS.  (link)

We all know that Biden is an avatar for Obama’s third-term. Hence the plan by Team Obama (BLM) and James Clyburn (AME) to use a cognitively impaired tool to secure the 2020 club nomination.  They then inserted Kamala Harris as the useful radical to manipulate for actual policy objectives.

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never return to that time before when you did not see them.  It’s all a conspiracy theory until it’s proven accurate, then it’s racist…

FBI Triggers Politically Strategic Narrative, Highlights Q-Anon Supporters as Domestic Violent Extremists


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 14, 2021 | Sundance | 313 Comments

The left-wing extremist Saul Alinsky famously instructed his radical followers on the best way to attack their political opposition.  Alinsky told his communist crew to “Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize” their opponents.  In the decades since those first Rules for Radicals were published the instructions have been used and adapted on a continual basis by a growing faction inside the Democrat apparatus.

President Barack Obama then brought an entire cabinet of people who followed those instructions into the federal government and they spread out like fertilizer over the seeded embeds within every institution.  After twelve years of the Obama-led operatives purging a replacing people within government with like-minded followers the cancer of left-wing radicalism metastasized.

Key institutions of government (across all branches at the federal level) are now controlled and operated by Socialist/Marxist/Communist ideologues and agitators.  The intelligence agencies and justice system are particularly filled with political operatives.  The unified coup de grâce was the manipulation of the 2020 presidential election by national political activists using mail-in ballots, and supporting local operatives within targeted precincts.

The flaw in their 2020 strategy was the transparency of the manipulation.  It was the scale of the manipulation that made the fraud so visible.  However, once that Rubicon was crossed the outcome must be protected at all costs by those previously mentioned institutions and their leadership.

When we described the upcoming battle their activity has predictably created, I said this:  “I would expect the government response … will be a combination of the DOJ/FBI “domestic extremist” narratives, combined with racism accusations and claims of election disinformation.”  Put another way: “The Alinsky model: Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize your political opposition in combination with the use of arrests and threats by the justice department.”

It only took a few hours before that exact scenario started to unfold in real time:

WASHINGTON DC – “The FBI has warned lawmakers in Washington that QAnon followers may move from being “digital soldiers” to engaging in “real world violence.”

“We assess that some [domestic violent extremist] adherents of QAnon likely will begin to believe they can no  longer ‘trust the plan’ referenced in QAnon posts and that they have an obligation to change from serving as ‘digital soldiers’ towards engaging in real world violence—including harming perceived members of the “cabal” such as Democrats and other political opposition—instead of continually awaiting Q’s promised actions which have not occurred,” the assessment says.

The FBI is now targeting any political opposition by defining them as “Domestic Violent Extremists.”  Those of you who have been in this larger political battle against Marxism for a while will ‘already have noticed’ the ¹predictability of this approach.

“Domestic Violent Extremists”, “Deplorables”, “JiHobbits”, “Right-Wing Extremists”, “Vulgarians”, “Racists” etc. etc.  The names change, but the underlying purpose of the labels to achieve political objectives remains the same: Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize.  The difference this time around is the open participation of the U.S. Justice System and federal law enforcement.  This is going to be ugly.

There is a dangerous battle brewing and it is very clear for those paying attention {Go Deep}.  The 2020 election fraud was so large in scale it is becoming increasingly visible, and it is starting to become impossible to hide.  There is no bag big enough to throw over the evidence.

Those behind the Biden avatar are now positioning resources, actual physical resources, to fight awakened U.S. citizens through the fully weaponized institutions of government.  The FBI is one of those key institutions in the battle; a key weapon in their arsenal.  They will use threats, intimidation and actual arrests if needed to achieve their objective.

Those who stand jaw-agape now perhaps should have reacted more urgently to the FBI no-knock raids on President Trump’s advisors (Manafort, Stone) or personal lawyer (Giuliani).  The lack of an outraged response from a nation of citizens has only empowered these agencies to be more aggressive, more bold and more confrontation in their manipulation of the justice system.  Passive and non-confrontational acceptance by republican political cowards and our elected federal representatives provides a willfully blind endorsement for this corrupt behavior.

A corrupt political Intelligence Community, DOJ and FBI crossed constitutional limits long ago.  We are now in the phase where those institutions feel above any restrictions that may have been imposed by previous citizen government.

In essence, ‘We The People’ have now become their enemy.  This will not end well.

FN¹ – For those who have been in this political fight for a while, the rise of Q-Anon was a transparently predictable problem for the patriotic movement.  CTH was criticized frequently for my decision to at first politely request, then block, the “Q” discussions.  A fracturing of MAGA supporters from CTH took place.  However, that decision I made a few years ago was not made arbitrarily to shut down valid opinion or discussion; rather it was a prudent decision with a great deal of forethought into it because this exact scenario was an obvious risk and predictable outcome.  These networks of Alinsky types know how to manipulate assemblies and groups who oppose them.  These same federal agencies ran a similar operation against the Tea Party in the aftermath of the 2010 mid-term election.  Protecting this CTH community and the discussion therein has always been my highest priority.  Perhaps now you see why that decision was made.  Warmest best, Sundance

Attorney General Merrick Garland Pre-Positioning Assets Against Looming Election Audit Results and Voter Data Forensics


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 14, 2021 | Sundance | 525 Comments

The next war will not come from foreign soil, it is about to happen based on a great awakening in the heavily corrupt and manipulated voting system in the United States.  The battle is about to happen right here on our soil.

BIG PICTURE – United States Attorney General Merrick Garland is pre-positioning assets from the DOJ and FBI [LINK].  Simultaneous to this, the U.S. military leadership is purging patriots and putting all service members under surveillance [LINK].  These two factual events are directly related.

In the background of these maneuvers Big Tech and Corporate Media have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative; and any truth-tellers are considered subversive and against the interests of the U.S. government.  The January 6th DC protest is being used as evidence for that narrative.  Deplatforming, censorship and ultimately control of voices who would warn of the larger issues continues daily.

Let me be very clear… stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen.

POINT ONE – Even before the November 2020 election there were groups of patriots who knew mail-in ballots were a tool toward an objective, the 2020 Presidential election.  Anyone with a lick of common sense, and the vast majority of readers right here on this website, knew that deployment of mail-in ballots was going to be the largest unknown variable in the 2020 election.  The DC-based apparatus was all-in.  This was the big one.

POINT TWO – There is data, massive publicly available geolocation data, available for purchase.  As you know data is the currency of the Deep State (U.S. Intel Community); however, insofar as the intel community uses federal authority to control data (at taxpayer expense), there is also a massive amount of data in the hands of private groups and individuals that can be legally purchased.

As a consumer you know your cell phone data is used by private industry commercially to sell you stuff and provide services. That is one type of data that is available for commercial purchase.  The feds have access to that type of data at their fingertips, and indeed they use it often illegally to circumvent fourth amendment protections.  But that type of data is also available for purchase; the issue is the cost.  Big Data requires a lot of money to purchase and then even more money to create the technological systems to use the data effectively.

♦ Put the two points above together and citizen led patriot groups have purchased big data to analyze the 2020 election.  These projects, and there are several, have been ongoing for quite a while.   As you know from our own crowdsourcing research in the past, you can easily tear apart large stories by focusing on the granular evidence that is available in the public sphere.

The results of that crowdsourcing research is incredibly accurate because it is not based on supposition, it is based on empirical data points.  Photographs, maps, camera shots, CCTV images, spatial and time patterns, geolocation, flight patterns, airline tracking and even star patterns at night have been used by hobbyist puzzle-solvers and citizen researchers to crowdsource information of interest.  CTH has taken apart several falsely framed investigative narratives (Trayvon, Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, RNC roadmap etc) with focused crowdsourcing research.  Heck, even 4Chan folks were having fun finding Shia LaBeouf’s “he will not divide us’ flag despite him hiding it in the middle of no-where.

The major point is with the internet at our fingers, and enough data available for review, just about anything can be deeply researched and then subject matter experts can guide the analysis and result…. With stunning accuracy.

Bear with me….  You have likely seen the same type of crowsourcing research being taken with the 2020 election data. The same type of statistical and analytical methodology on voting patterns at a macro and micro level.  Additionally, some groups, some very smart groups that have been in the business of voter integrity for a long time, have also been reviewing massive data purchased in the wake of the 2020 election.

I have recently been made aware that federal law enforcement agencies have been informed about some of the results from geo-location of cell phone data surrounding “drop boxes” used to collect voter ballots.  Essentially a mapping of specific cell phones which identifies their group association and outlines their activity in multiple states.  The data is the data and cannot be refuted.

Soon these types of very specific data-maps will be cross referenced in key precincts and added to any resulting audit outcomes.  The cell phone travel of these organized groups creates a map of their activity.  Keep in mind many of ballot collection sites have CCTV systems; some CCTV operations were actually mandated by legislation that authorized the collection drop-off locations.  It is not coincidental that public records requests for those CCTV recordings are being met with hostile denials and efforts to stall production.

The bottom line is this….  AG Merrick Garland knows a powder keg is very likely to explode as soon as the majority of American people discover just how manipulated the election of 2020 was.  His announcement to double the staff of the DOJ Civil Rights Division voter unit is not to protect election integrity, but rather to position his resources for a war against a looming storm of election review outcomes…. and the White House is so far exposed, they are positioning to use the military to protect their position.

The deep and irrefutable research has been taking place, mostly very quietly, in the background.  I would expect the government response to this will be a combination of the DOJ/FBI “domestic extremist” narratives, combined with racism accusations and claims of election disinformation.

The Alinsky model: Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize your political opposition, in combination with the use of arrests and threats by the justice department.

REPORT: Several Hundred Thousand Maricopa County Ballots Missing, Boxes Identified With Totally Blank Ballots


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 14, 2021 | Sundance | 377 Comments

I give this report from the audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, a little more weight for two reasons: First, Patrick Howley is generally accurate in his reporting by disposition; and second, the source of the information is on record, not anonymous.

If this reporting turns out to be accurate, this will be an explosive development.  However, that said, if this report is accurate… this is likely the reason why Maricopa County officials have been fighting the audit, hiring lawyers and positioning themselves in an attempt to undermine the chain-of-custody of the ballots.

Remember, the county Board of Supervisors would not let the State Senate audit take place in their tabulations center.  In an effort to block and stall the audit, the county officials forced the audit organizers to transfer the tabulation machines and truckloads of ballots to the Veterans Coliseum.  Then the board of supervisors held closed-door meetings (shutting out the public) with their lawyers.

ARIZONA – Several hundred thousand votes that were counted in Maricopa County, Arizona are associated with missing ballots, according to an audit organizer who is speaking regularly with people on the audit floor.

“We found a ballot shortage, anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of the votes,” Josh Barnett, an audit organizer who led the affidavit drive to make the audit happen, tells NATIONAL FILE. “It looks like a couple hundred thousand ballots are unaccounted for. The ballots are missing.”

“I also know that there were boxes filled with blank ballots in those pallets. There were blanks in there,” Barnett said, citing a person who is frequently at the audit site as part of the audit process. “They (election officials) were doing it for appearance, to try to hide the fact that ballots are missing by saying, ‘It’s okay, they’re all right here.’ But the ballots are blank.” (read more)

Immediately after meeting with lawyers in April, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors then started looking to the feds for help.  According to media reports at the time democratic party election groups sent hundreds of lawyers to the audit once it started.

Last month the Board of Supervisors and county election officials refused to attend a state senate hearing on the audit status. Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward noted the Maricopa Board of Supervisors (BoS) was engaging in a propaganda war against the people of Arizona and the State Senate.

The propaganda was further evidenced when the Board of Supervisors sent the media a copy of the 13-page letter they claim to have sent to the Arizona Senate.  However, AZ Senate President Karen Fann said she had never even see the letter. [LINK]  The BoS sent the letter to the media before they sent it to the AZ Senate.  Yeah, propaganda.

If there are actually hundreds of thousands of ballots missing, or even several thousand ballots, that is obviously a very big deal.

Fulton County Georgia Election Official Admits Chain of Custody Documents Missing for Large Number of Absentee Ballots


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on June 14, 2021 | Sundance | 139 Comments

This admission published today will likely help the lawsuit filed by Georgia plaintiff Garland Favorito who previously won a legal fight to audit 145,000 Atlanta area absentee ballots.  The county has appealed the judge’s ruling granting access, and filed a motion to dismiss the case (squashing the audit). The judge will hear arguments later this month.  Today they admit 24% of the absentee ballots (one in four) are missing chain of custody documents.

GEORGIA – In a stunning admission about the critical chain of custody documents for absentee ballots deposited into drop boxes in the November 3, 2020 election, a Fulton County election official told The Georgia Star News on Wednesday that “a few forms are missing” and that “some procedural paperwork may have been misplaced.”

Star News analysis of drop box ballot transfer forms for absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes provided by Fulton County in response to an Open Records Request showed that 385 transfer forms out of an estimated 1,565 transfer forms Fulton County said should have been provided are missing – a number that is significantly greater than “a few” by any objective standard.

This is the first time that any election official at either the state or county level from a key battleground state has made an admission of significant error in election procedures for the November 3, 2020 election.

The admission of missing chain of custody documents by a Fulton County official is important for several reasons that cut to the very core of public confidence in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. (read more)

[…]  “These absentee ballots are at the center of a lawsuit filed by Garland Favorito and eight other Georgia residents, who have sued Fulton County to produce these ballots for a forensic audit. Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero ruled in May that this audit could proceed, but allowed the plaintiffs to review only the digital images of these 145,000 absentee ballots. . . An estimated 145,000 absentee ballots – between 75,000 and 78,000 of which were originally deposited in drop boxes and between 67,000 and 70,000 of which were sent via the United States Postal Service – were transferred from the centralized counting facility at the State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta to the EPC [the Election Preparation Center warehouse located at 1365 English St. NW, Atlanta] at some point after the counting of votes for the November 3 election was completed.  (read more)
