Lawfare Groups Ask For Federal Intervention in Arizona Ballot Audit – Send Letter to DOJ Asking for Immediate Involvement


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 29, 2021 | Sundance | 296 Comments

After the Democrat Secretary of State failed to get the Arizona State Attorney General to initiate an investigation of the audit; and after a Democrat state judge rejected the Democrat effort for a temporary restraining order; and after all other efforts have failed…. now we see three outside left-wing election groups (claiming bipartisanship yet led by lawyers from NYU) asking the DOJ to intervene in the Maricopa County, Arizona, ballot audit.

The audit started on April 23. A judge on April 28 rejected the attempt by Democrats to halt the process.

The Brennan Center, Protect Democracy and The Leadership Conference have signed a letter to the civil rights division of the DOJ asking them to get involved.

The arguments within the letter [pdf here] are identical to the arguments made previously by other Lawfare groups, including Perkins Coie, to a state judge.  The state judge rejected the arguments because there was no evidence submitted to the court to back them up.

Obviously there is a great amount of fear amid the network of Lawfare and leftist activists about this ongoing ballot audit.  The letter only highlights the worry they carry that Arizona’s election fraud might be demonstrably proven the the wider U.S. electorate.

WASHINGTON DC – A group of election security and administration experts are asking the Justice Department to send federal monitors to Arizona as the Republican-led state Senate carries out an audit of 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County in the state’s 2020 presidential election.

In a letter to the top official at the Justice Department’s voting section, five elections experts from the Brennan Center for Justice, Protect Democracy and The Leadership Conference expressed deep concerns about how the audit is being conducted, warning that it has put ballots “in danger of being stolen, defaced, or irretrievably damaged.”

“They failed to ensure the physical security of ballots by keeping doors unlocked and allowing unauthorized persons to access the ballot storage facility,” the letter reads. “They also risk compromising the integrity of the ballots themselves, using materials and technologies that will cause the ballot paper and marks to deteriorate, such as holding ballots to ultra-violet light without gloves.

Yeah, the “Brennan Center” from NYU…  Gee, who would that be?

You just cannot make this stuff up folks…

Arizona Audit Shines A Light On election Fraud


Posted originally on GrrrGraphics.com APR 28, 2021 AT 10:11 AM

You can’t hide the truth.

Arizona is conducting the first serious and forensic audit of the stolen election. The audit officially began a few days ago panicking the Democrats. The Democrats sent a team of 100 lawyers to try and stop the audit. They know what the results will be.  We remember on election night in 2020 how Fox News called Arizona for Biden minutes into the count. They were in on it. Never forget that.

Finally election workers are running true forensic testing on the ballots. As the Gateway pundit previously reported, inventor and data analyst Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, has a process and the patents surrounding the process where he can identify fraudulent ballots based on the paper used, creases in the paper, the ink on the forms, and other characteristics. Pulitzer can identify fraudulent votes, which will ultimately result in the accurate results of the 2020 election when only valid votes are accounted for.

In true transparency, the audit is being monitored from nine different angles by security cameras. One of those cameras revealed an ultra violet light scanner that checks ballots for fraudulent evidence.

And former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett confirmed the audit officials are using ultraviolet light to scan the ballots for folds and watermarks on Monday.

Today President Trump weighed in on the Arizona audit:

The Radical Left Democrat Party has gone absolutely INSANE in fighting the Forensic Audit of the 2020 Presidential Election Scam, right now taking place in the Great State of Arizona. They sent a team of over 100 lawyers to try and stop it because they know what the result of the Arizona Senate sponsored audit will be—and it won’t be good for the Dems. The audit is independently run, with no advantage to either side, but the Democrats don’t want to hear anything about it because they know that they lost Arizona, and other scam election States, in a LANDSLIDE. They also know that the Arizona State Legislature approved virtually none of their many election requests, which is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The people of Arizona are very angry, as are the people of our Country. If we can’t have free and fair elections, we don’t have a Country. The audit must continue. America deserves the TRUTH!

We deserve the truth indeed.

The Democrats will throw everything in their arsenal to stop or overturn the Arizona audit. Don’t let them get away with their distraction tactics.

All eyes on Arizona

The First domino to drop!

Tina.

Biden Confuses We the People with Politicians


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Apr 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Thomas Paine said that those in power think they are the nation. We just listened to Biden and he confirmed that statement. He said that those in Washington are “We the People” when that is simply not true. Those in Washington serve the people – they are not the people. We also do not live in a Democracy, for if that were true, then the people should vote on the $6 trillion he proposes to spend which will be along party lines.

As for Russia, Biden said:

“With regard to Russia, I know it concerns some of you, but I made very clear to President Putin that while we don’t seek … escalation, but their actions will have consequences if they turn out to be true, and they turned out to be true.” 

It is time for Direct Democracy and not pretend Democracy. Hopefully, that awaits us post-2032. You do not represent the people by punishing one group for the benefit of another. That is discrimination – Marxist style. It was the government that created the economic collapse and loss of jobs – not We the People.

The theatrics are unending. Biden, not wearing a mask, bumps elbows with Pelosi not shaking hands. This is not America. They have changed society far beyond what anyone imagines. They have created in the minds of many that not simply shaking hands is a risk of death. They have succeeded in dividing and conquering which is essential to the fall of any empire.

Weekly Reminder, The Duplicity of Nikki Haley

Previously Nikki Haley Said:

…”“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”  (link)

Yesterday when asked about her 2024 presidential ambitions Nikki Haley says:

…”Out of respect I would never do anything to go against [Trump], he knows that. I would have a conversation with him and talk to him about it should we decide we want to pursue it; but, um, no, I have a great respect for him and I would never consider running against him.”

Feds Raid Rudy Giuliani Apartment, Seize Electronic Devices – It’s The Corrupt DOJ FARA(951) Angle All Over Again


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 28, 2021 | Sundance | 293 Comments

According to media reports federal authorities raided the New York apartment of Rudy Giuliani today.  Apparently electronic devices were seized as part of their investigation into him.  However, the DOJ motive behind the investigation is something everyone should be familiar with, Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA).

The corrupt and political agents at the DOJ, led by attorney Andrew Weissmann, have used FARA(951) violations to target their political opposition.  They attempted, and in some instances successfully used, FARA investigations and prosecutions against Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Walid Phares and others.

Former DOJ official Andrew Weissmann ran the FARA division of the DOJ-NSD specifically to use this approach as a political weapon.  However, notice he never went after any Democrats who were well documented to be lobbying while unregistered for foreign governments.  The Podesta brothers were two notorious lobbyists who were not registered and the DOJ looked the other way.

FARA violations being used as a backdoor justification for political targeting has long been the approach of a weaponized DOJ.  They are using that same tactic again in their effort to target Rudy Giuliani.

New York – Federal investigators in Manhattan executed a search warrant on Wednesday at the Upper East Side apartment of Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who became President Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, stepping up a criminal investigation into Mr. Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine, three people with knowledge of the matter said.

One of the people said the investigators had seized Mr. Giuliani’s electronic devices.

Executing a search warrant is an extraordinary move for prosecutors to take against a lawyer, let alone a lawyer for a former president, and it marks a major turning point in the long-running investigation into Mr. Giuliani.

The federal authorities have been largely focused on whether Mr. Giuliani illegally lobbied the Trump administration in 2019 on behalf of Ukrainian officials and oligarchs, who at the same time were helping Mr. Giuliani search for dirt on Mr. Trump’s political rivals, including President Biden, who was then a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The United States Attorney’s office in Manhattan and the F.B.I. had for months sought to secure a search warrant for Mr. Giuliani’s phones. (read more)

It’s likely they struggled to get a search warrant because it is well known that Guiliani was not lobbying for Ukraine, but rather communicating with Ukraine officials about the corruption of the Biden Family and Hillary Clinton through the Ukraine government.

Giuliani was publicly informing everyone of his contacts and findings, and that included the White House.  That’s not lobbying; that was his job as Trump’s counsel during the ridiculous impeachment effort.

Jack Cashill Gives His Review of the Derek Chauvin Trial – Turning Chauvin Into A Racist Killer


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 28, 2021 | Sundance | 66 Comments

Author Jack Cashill has followed the intersection of the severe left and law enforcement for decades.  In his latest article he walks through the Derek Chauvin case and outlines a familiar pattern.  [Full Article Here]

Excerpt: […] “Roughly six or seven minutes before Floyd took his last breath, Chauvin had shown no signs of racism or brutality, let alone the potential for murder. To this point in the interaction, he had been polite, professional, and, if anything, too patient. “I’ll put the air on” — are those the words of a racist killer, Joe?

As Chauvin understood, attempting to subdue a drugged suspect a half a foot taller than he and 80 pounds heavier was not going to be easy. Finally acknowledging the futility of their collective efforts, Chauvin let Floyd leave the car at 8:19. “Thank you. Thank you,” said Floyd. When ordered to hit the ground, he sighed, “I want to lay on the ground, I want to lay on the ground. I’m going down, I’m going down. I’m going down.”

Rejecting the more aggressive but legal hobble restraint — cuffed hands and legs connected behind the suspect — Chauvin used the same restraint I saw applied on the sidewalk outside my office: knee on the area where the shoulder meets the neck. In addition to the officers’ body cams, Chauvin could see bystanders recording the scene. If he were intentionally violating the law, he knew he would be found out.”  (read full article)

“Mistakes Were Made”, Video Outline to Explain History of FISA Court Abuse


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on April 28, 2021 | Sundance | 59 Comments

With the jaw-dropping revelation of former DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord being enlisted by the FISA Court as an Amici Curiae (advisor to the court) it is worthwhile revisiting this previous video explanation of the FISA Court.

John Spiropoulos does a great job outlining the history of the FISC looking the other way when the fourth amendment protections against searching American citizens electronic communication are violated by the FBI.  “Mistakes were made”… and made, and made, and made, and made….

Prior to the December 9, 2019, inspector general report on FISA abuse, FISA Court judges Rosemary Collyer (declassified 2017) and James Boasberg (declassified 2019) both identified issues with the NSA bulk database collection program being exploited for unauthorized reasons.  Neither of them took any action against the FBI for warrantless searches of American citizen information.

So it should come as no surprise the 2020 report written again by James Boasberg, shows exactly the same issues still exist and the same unlawful abuses of the NSA database are still taking place.  Taking events at their face value it would appear the court is in alignment with the FBI and thus the abuses have continued.  Under that context Boasberg enlisting Mary McCord appears to be an institutional motive of covering-up the wrongdoing.

In order for corruption to continue advancing without consequence, those with institutional power have to pretend not to know things: “mistakes were made.”

Once again the FBI is outlined by the FISA court using the NSA database for warrantless searches of American citizen information.  This is the fourth consecutive year the FISA court has outlined identical abuse of the NSA database by FBI workers, contractors and officials.

The latest 67 page FISA compliance review for the year 2020 was written by FISA Court Presiding Judge James Boasberg (same judge from Clinesmith trial).  The opinion was written in November 2020 and declassified (with lots of redactions) in April 2021. [pdf version HERE] – [SCRIBD pdf HERE]

[…] In other words, the FBI is using FISA acquired information to investigate domestic crimes – not matters of foreign intelligence. These included investigations of “health-care fraud, transnational organized crime, violent gangs, domestic terrorism involving racially motivated violent extremists, as well as investigations relating to public corruption and bribery.”

According to the Boasberg report seven FBI field offices were implicated in “these and a number of similar violations.”   That means institutionally the FBI continues to perform warrantless searches of the NSA database that collects electronic information on every single American.  The FBI is exploiting a backdoor into this database using search queries that violate the fourth amendment.

The FBI is extracting this information for their own personal use; likely political use including surveillance and black files on politicians; and for routine criminal investigations that are supposed to require warrants.

Keep in mind this 2020 review and report encompasses a time-frame prior to October 2020, so we can only imagine how many times since the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill protest the FBI reached into this NSA database to assist them with their investigation of “domestic extremists”.

Is Anything Real in the Biden Administration?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Conspiracy Re-Posted Apr 28, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I have said before, we have no idea who is running the country but I believe the ties go directly to Geneva. We also have no idea of what is real or what is fake anymore and the press is out to overthrow everything we thought was guaranteed. The press and Big Tech have obviously been promised special status in this new world of Authoritarianism emerging from the deliberate destruction of our Democracy. The protests against Georgia are stunning. Objecting to same-day registration and demanding ID to vote is somehow now racist when I cannot get on an airplane without ID or having to take my shoes off.

My family has fought in every war since the American Revolution. Not a single person ever fought for this complete change in the country that the facade of the Biden Administration is projecting. I spoke to the only guy in my neighborhood who had a BIDEN sign out during the election. He voted for Biden simply because he did not like Trump. But he never imagined the changes that Biden is implementing at the direction of undefined bureaucrats who will never be investigated nor will any links to foreign advisers be exposed.

Obviously, we have no idea what is real or what is fake anymore. Note, they also do not have face masks on yet for the film.
