"Stop! No! Don't!": Babbitt Tried to Stop Attack on Capitol Speaker’s Lobby, Video Analysis Suggests

TUESDAY, JAN 18, 2022 - 11:50 AM
Authored by Joseph M. Hanneman via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Ashli Babbitt desperately tried to prevent rioters from vandalizing the doors leading to the Speaker’s Lobby at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, even stepping between one troublemaker and police officers guarding the doors, a video analysis shows.

Frame-by-frame video evidence analyzed by The Epoch Times paints a vastly different picture of Babbitt’s actions than that portrayed in media accounts over the past year. News media regularly painted Babbitt as “violent,” a “rioter,” or an “insurrectionist” who was angrily trying to breach the Speaker’s Lobby.

Video clips appear to show she tried to prevent the attack, not join it.

Video shot by John Sullivan, also known as Jayden X, shows that Babbitt tried to stop the violence against the Speaker’s Lobby at least four times before she climbed into a broken window and was shot by U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. At one point, she was so distressed at the violence, she was jumping up and down in frustration.

“The reality of it is, Ashli wasn’t a violent person. She was a good person, but they’ve demonized her to become this domestic terrorist that she never has been,” Tayler Hansen, an independent journalist who was feet away from Babbitt when she was shot, told The Epoch Times.

“She served her country for 14 years. That’s just insane to me that they can actually get away with pushing this narrative,” Hansen said. “They’ve done that by suppressing first-hand witnesses like me.”

Hansen said he was walking behind Babbitt in a hallway on the second floor of the Capitol at about 2:40 p.m. She turned right down the Speaker’s Lobby hallway. Hansen followed.

Trapped in Hallway
“We didn’t know anything about the building we were in. She turned the corner and I just followed her,” Hansen said. “A big group of people followed us after I followed her. People just kind of emerged on the door. By that time, she was stuck in the corner.

“She was literally trapped there,” Hansen said.

Babbitt, who served in the U.S. Air Force as a military police officer, was chatting with three officers from U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department.

“About five minutes prior to her getting shot and killed, all of those officers, Officer Yetter and the other officers in the hall, the MPD cops, they were all joking with her and laughing with her,” Hansen said. “They were having conversations and joking and laughing. Then not even five minutes later, Michael Byrd comes and executes her.”

Babbitt confronted rioter Zachary Alam, leaning in between him and one of the police officers guarding the doors. Alam turned away from Babbitt and punched a window to the side of the officer’s head. Babbitt winces just before Alam strikes the window with his right hand. He later uses a helmet to smash the tempered glass.

An audio analysis of video taken in the hallway reveals that Babbitt shouted, “Stop! No! Don’t! Wait!” according to her husband, Aaron Babbitt.

“After repeatedly forcing myself to watch the murder of my wife, I have come to my own conclusion that Ashli came to a point of realization that she was in very bad situation and the police weren’t acting appropriately to what she was witnessing,” Aaron Babbitt told The Epoch Times.

“I know my wife very well. She’s not destructive,” Babbitt said. “She was not there to hurt anybody.”

As the three police officers moved away from the Speaker’s Lobby doors, a U.S. Capitol Police Containment Emergency Response Team (CERT) was coming up the stairs, responding to an erroneous police radio report of shots fired.

Standing adjacent to the departing officers, Babbitt peers around them at the men smashing the glass. Her expression is one of shock. She yells at the two rioters.

In Fear for Her Life
Babbitt feared for her life, her husband said, so she climbed into the broken window to escape. Byrd shot her before she got more than part way into the window frame.

“The only way we’d ever know why Ashli felt the window was the only way out is if she had been detained by one of the countless police officers that abandoned their post in front of those doors,” Babbitt said. “That did not happen. She was murdered and robbed of the chance to tell her side of the story.”

Hansen and Sullivan said they did not hear any warnings from inside the Speaker’s Lobby before the shot was fired. The protesters were extremely loud. There were conflicting accounts from police officers on both sides of the barricaded door as to whether warning instructions were given before Byrd fired on Babbitt.

Sullivan was the first to notice Byrd’s service pistol aimed at the window. He and Hansen both shouted warnings. “I began yelling, ‘Hey, there’s a gun! He’s got a gun!” Hansen said. “But nobody could hear us. I could barely hear John Sullivan and I was right next to him, because people were screaming and windows were breaking.”

“Since there was a gun, I got on the ground because I didn’t know what was going on,” Hansen said. “I figured I’m going to get as low as possible in case there’s any ricochets or any misfires or anything like that. I had my Kevlar vest on, which I always wear when I report.

“We tried to warn people and they couldn’t hear us — and we were screaming,” Hansen said.

Alam broke out the side window to the right of the double doors because he intended to use it to breach the Speaker’s Lobby, Hansen said. The only reason he didn’t climb through before Babbitt, Hansen said, was his glasses got knocked down on his face and he stopped to readjust them.

“He was about to go through that window,” Hansen said. “It was his idea. He was the one shattering it.”

Babbitt said the situation shows how two people can look at the same video and reach completely different conclusions.

“It all comes down to which mental angle a person views it from. If they hate Ashli because they believe the lies, that’s all they see: her being part of a mob,” Aaron Babbitt said. “Us who love her, know her, know every action and emotion she was displaying — she realized a minute before her death she was not in a friendly situation and something very wrong was occurring.”

US Cleared Byrd Without Interviewing Him

The U.S. Department of Justice cleared Byrd of criminal culpability in the shooting death without ever questioning him or taking a statement that explains his actions that day, according to investigative records and the Babbitt family attorney.

Byrd shot Babbitt at 2:44 p.m., as she tried to climb through the broken window. She was not armed.

Byrd met with investigators from the Internal Affairs Division of the Metropolitan Police Department five hours after the shooting. The DC police department investigates officer shootings involving U.S. Capitol Police.

“He did not give a statement to the Internal Affairs Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, which was charged with conducting the investigation after the shooting, and which the U.S. Attorney relied upon to reach his decision not to charge,” Terry Roberts, a Washington D.C. attorney who represents the Babbitt family, told The Epoch Times.

“The lead investigator brought Byrd in to question him and Byrd declined,” Roberts said. “He wanted a lawyer present. That means the investigator’s not going to talk to him at that point. It could mean that later, the investigator could approach Byrd and say, ‘Let’s get your lawyer down here and let’s ask you questions.’ That never happened.”

A U.S. Capitol Police sergeant who was posted at the double doors to the Speaker’s Lobby just before the shooting told an internal affairs investigator he left his post out of fear for his safety. He moved aside “due to the rioters surging towards them” and then “made a decision to leave the area and began to move towards the east stairwell,” a Metropolitan Police Department report said.

“If we didn’t have that stairwell down there, I thought they were going to kill us,” the sergeant said. If the stairwell had not offered them an escape route, “we would have been forced” to use deadly force, he said.

Another officer who was near the Speaker’s Lobby doors said he did not hear any warnings to the crowd. “Prior to moving away from the Speaker’s Lobby doors, officer [redacted] did not hear any verbal commands coming from any of the USCP officers that were inside the Speaker’s Lobby,” an internal affairs report said.

A member of the Capitol Police Containment Emergency Response Team (CERT) who arrived in the area as Babbitt was shot, “reported that he did not recall hearing any type of verbal commands being given prior to Ms. Babbitt being shot, nor did he see who shot Ms. Babbitt,” a February 2021 internal affairs report said.

A U.S. Capitol Police sergeant who entered the Speaker’s Lobby just before the shooting said he saw Byrd and an officer “had taken up positions and had their guns out,” an internal affairs report said.

The glass panel to the side of the double doors leading into the Speaker’s Lobby was smashed out. Shortly after, Babbitt was seen attempting to climb through the opening where the pane of glass had been.

“There was a lot of screaming and Sergeant [redacted] heard someone yelling, ‘Get back! Get back!’ the report said. The sergeant was posted “furthest away from this barricaded door.”

The sergeant wasn’t aware whose weapon discharged until he spoke with Byrd, who stated, “I was the one who took the shot,” the report said.

According to a transcript of the interview, the sergeant said he noticed Byrd make a backwards motion after firing. “…He stepped back and I don’t know if that was from him taking the shot and realizing that he shot somebody and he was like, ‘Oh my God. You know, I actually did what I did’…”

A U.S. Capitol Police officer who was also in the Speaker’s Lobby, said he heard Byrd and others tell the crowd, ‘Stay back,’ before Babbitt came through the window. “He then observed Ms. McEntee (Babbitt) climbing through the window and the shot was fired, she fell back,” an internal affairs report said.

“While he noted that Lieutenant Byrd was shaken, he did not say anything. He has worked with him for about a year,” the report said. “He observed that Lieutenant Byrd was nervous, teary-eyed, and appeared very upset. His voice was also shaky when he called for medical assistance over the radio.”

Byrd met with an internal affairs agent from the Metropolitan Police Department at 7:38 p.m. on Jan. 6. After providing the agent with information on his duty assignment in the House Chamber that day and his last qualification on a firing range, Byrd was given a Garrity warning advising him of his rights.

“Lieutenant Byrd declined to provide a statement until he can consult an attorney,” the agent wrote in his report.

On April 14, 2021, Acting U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips notified the Metropolitan Police Department that no charges would be brought against Byrd.

“We have declined criminal prosecution of the above officer as a result of this incident,” Phillips wrote in a three-sentence memo to Assistant Chief Wilfredo Manlapaz. No explanation was provided.

Roberts said the shooting was not justified. He is preparing a lawsuit.

“If you’re acting in self-defense, you have to tell somebody you’re acting in self-defense, or it should be quite plain from the circumstances,” Roberts said. “It clearly was not plain in these circumstances. I don’t believe the officer acted in self-defense at all.”

Byrd’s attorney, Mark Schamel, declined to comment. The U.S. Capitol Police Department did not respond to a request for comment and information on Byrd’s current duty assignment.

Washington state legislation to outlaw lying about elections raises free speech issues

The legislation could test a landmark US Supreme Court ruling that said speech can be criminalized only if it would cause imminent lawless action.

Washington state legislation to outlaw lying about elections raises free speech issues
The legislation could test a landmark US Supreme Court ruling that said speech can be criminalized only if it would cause imminent lawless action.

Updated: January 18, 2022 - 11:27pm

The one-year anniversary of the storming of the U.S. Capitol prompted Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee to seek sponsors for a bill to make it a gross misdemeanor for an elected official or candidate to lie about election results.

Inslee’s wish has since become reality in the form of Senate Bill 5843, which had its first reading on Thursday.

“We have to realize, unfortunately, it’s not just in other states; it is right here in Washington state, this ongoing effort,” Inslee said at the Jan. 6 Associated Press Legislative Preview. He called former President Donald Trump’s attempts to contest the electoral college results a “coup effort.”

But does SB 5843 fly in the face of the First Amendment’s provision against government “abridging the freedom of speech”?

Inslee gave a hint of his thinking at the legislative preview when he answered a question about the constitutionality of his proposed law.

“I believe it will be constitutional because we understand that this speech is the type of speech that will promote violence,” the governor said.

Hugh Spitzer, professor of law at the University of Washington School of Law, expanded on Inslee’s likely reasoning.

“That’s actually not so easy a question as one might think,” Spitzer said in an email responding to The Center Square asking about the constitutional validity of the legislation. “In Brandenburg v. Ohio, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1969 outlined some rules for when speech can be criminalized. The key is whether the speech is meant to cause ‘imminent lawless action.’”

He went on to note, “I can tell that the drafters of this legislation had Brandenburg in mind, because the bill says a candidate can be criminally responsible for words that ‘are directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and such statements or claims produce such action….’”

In fact, the Washington state bill is more stringent in making a distinction between speech and action than the Brandenburg decision, Spitzer pointed out.

“I think that could be drafted in a way to track Brandenburg even more closely, but it’s pretty close for starters,” he said. “One thing that’s interesting is that the bill requires that someone actually take lawless action as a result of the words, and Brandenburg doesn’t specifically require that. So the proposed legislation is in that sense tighter than Brandenburg.”

Still, according to the professor, it’s an uphill battle linking action directly to speech.

“The practical question – which you might pose to a prosecuting attorney – is how easy or difficult this would be to successfully prosecute,” Spitzer said. “It’s a very high standard of proof, so I think prosecutions would occur once in a very blue moon.”

As an aside, he said, “Perhaps the only example I can think of where someone gave a speech and maybe meant to incite people to engage in lawless action AND resulted in lawless action, would have been the speeches by former President Trump and some others on January 6. But those would be hard to prove too!”

Senate Democrats Predict DoJ Will Prosecute Trump over January 6

PAUL BOIS18 Jan 2022613

Attorney General Merrick Garland could prosecute former President Trump for the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Senate Democrats say.

Speaking with The Hill, several Democrat lawmakers said there is a “good chance” the Department of Justice will seek to prosecute Trump, potentially knocking him out of the 2024 election. Merrick Garland has given no indication he plans to prosecute Trump, and Senate Democrats provided no direct evidence or sources to support their claims.

Both Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Tim Kaine (D-VA) said the Department of Justice could have evidence to prosecute the former president without specifics.

“They have all of the evidence at their disposal,” said Kaine, adding that he believes there are “federal statutes that are very much implicated” by the president’s efforts to stop the election certification prior to the riot on January 6. Kaine said:

Garland is a sort of by-the-book guy. You have prosecutors who will talk about things, kind of give you status reports along the way. But that’s not really the most professional things for prosecutors to do.

What prosecutors usually do is they analyze all the evidence and then they either file an indictment or charge or they say nothing. If they file an indictment or charge, they let that speak for itself and they don’t editorialize about it.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said, while he will not rule on the president’s guilt before seeing all the evidence, he still believes there’s “a lot of evidence that he was complicit” in sparking the riot on January 6.

“I think anybody who it’s proven had a role in the planning of [the Jan. 6 attack] should be prosecuted, not just the people who broke in and smashed the window in my office and others,” said Brown.

Though Merrick Garland has not said anything about prosecuting the former president, on the anniversary of January 6, the attorney general said that he would prosecute those “at any level” for enacting what he said was an “assault on our democracy.”

“The Justice Department remains committed to holding all Jan. 6 perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law — whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible,” he said.

Speaking anonymously, some Senate Democrats worried that such a prosecution could backfire if Trump were to break free of it, similar to the botched Muller report.

“If you pull the trigger on this one, you have to make sure that you don’t miss, because this is one if you miss it essentially validates the conduct,” one senator told The Hill.


[COMMENT: OMG will they leave him alone, already? I don't think they are gaging the mood of the nation very well if they think another witch hunt will fly without repercussions from the public.]

Pollak: Democrats Are Abusing January 6 Committee to Create Their Own Wikileaks

Democrats are abusing the Jan. 6 inquiry to search private, personal information -- creating their own "Wikileaks" on Trump and Republicans.

Pollak: Democrats Are Abusing January 6 Committee to Create Their Own Wikileaks

JOEL B. POLLAK18 Jan 2022450

The news Tuesday that the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has subpoenaed the personal telephone records of President Donald Trump’s son, Eric; his son Don Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle; and several of his attorneys, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, is the latest sign that the committee is abusing its power to spy on Trump’s family, to abuse his rights, and to create opposition research: in short, to create their own version of Wikileaks.

Recall that Wikileaks released two sets of hacked emails that created embarrassment for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 2016.

The DNC emails, published on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, suggested party officials conspired to rig the presidential primary against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Later, the emails of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta embarrassed the candidate and the media outlets who carried water for her.

Clinton and her party blamed Russian hackers for the leaks, and began insinuating that then-candidate Donald Trump was colluding with the Russian government of Vladimir Putin to sink the campaign. Years of investigation would later confirm that Trump had nothing to do with it.

(Meanwhile, of course, the Clinton campaign and the DNC were planting fake stories about Trump’s ties to Russia — ironically, using a dubious source who was previously suspected of being a Russian spy.)

Even though Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not find any evidence linking Trump to Russia, the Democrats still blame Wikileaks and Russian interference for Clinton’s loss in 2016.

They are taking their revenge in the January 6 committee, by looking for private — and constitutionally-protected — information about the internal communications of the Trump White House, the communications of Trump’s lawyers, and even the personal communications of his close aides and his family.

Several objections have already been raised in court to what the January 6 committee is trying to do. Former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has argued in a lawsuit that the committee has violated the terms of its own enabling resolution, as well as the Constitution’s separation of powers.

But the attempt to gather the communications of Trump’s attorneys crosses a further line, implicating attorney-client privilege and violating the Sixth Amendment right to counsel.

Attorney-client privilege cannot protect communications from a client to a lawyer if they are part of a crime. But there is no evidence whatsoever tying any of the subpoena targets to a crime or to the January 6 Capitol riot. This time last year, the Senate was taking up the second Trump impeachment trial, and the House impeachment crew — headed by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who is also on the January 6 committee — provided a lot of hoax “evidence” but failed to win a conviction.

The January 6 committee’s methods bear the fingerprints of Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), right down to the secret depositions and the attempt to spy on other people’s phone conversations, including the president’s own lawyers.

Schiff, too, is on the January 6 committee, and he is using it the same way he tried to use the House Intelligence Committee in 2019: to dig up as much dirt as possible, and faking whatever necessary, to smear his opponents and undermine their ability to function.

Schiff was obsessed with Wikileaks and its role in 2016. He and his colleagues are now attempting to use — or abuse — the power of Congress, which has no law enforcement authority, to “investigate” his opponents, their staff, their lawyers, and their families. His purpose is not only to prevent Trump from running again, but to find out about the inner workings of the Republican opposition.

It is like the Democrats’ own version of Wikileaks — but this crime is happening in broad daylight.

“We’re inspired by Hugo Chavez….Cesar Chavez. We’re inspired by all of these leaders”
Jeffries was listing off names of people who inspire Democrats to press on with their horrible election bill, and it was perfect that he said “Hugo Chavez”. Perfect for a number of reasons, but mainly because nationalization of elections, industry – everything – is what Chavez did in Venezuela. Chavez is the reason Venezuela is a socialist hell-hole today after having once been a thriving country.

So Jeffries can say he didn’t mean to say Hugo Chavez, but we all know that is exactly who inspires these socialist Democrats.

This fool went on to suggest that Republicans oppose their elections bill because a black president won in 2008, saying: “What happened to the modern day Republican Party? Was it the election that took place in 2008? Did that disturb you? Did that throw you off? Were you confused by that?”

It Doesn't Matter That Voters Hate Biden If Democrats Can Rig Elections

The left is pressing to pass legislation that would brush aside state election safeguards in a bid to cement permanent power.

It Doesn’t Matter That Voters Hate Joe Biden If Democrats Can Rig Elections

BY: BOB ANDERSON
JANUARY 19, 2022

Just a month before the 2020 election, radio host Rush Limbaugh commented that Democrats “resent the whole premise behind elections. Look, they don’t believe they should have to persuade anybody to agree with them … The modern-day Democrats have to go through the motions of campaigning, and they have to go through the motions of trying to win the hearts and minds of voters. But they resent the h-ll out of it. And in their world, it’s the one thing standing in their way: This need, this requirement to win elections. And I’m just telling you: As soon as they can figure out a way to eliminate elections, they will do it.”

Today, Democrats are engaged in a full-court press to pass legislation that would brush state election safeguards aside and codify the shenanigans of 2020 into federal law. They’ll nuke the filibuster if they can, a step never taken previously for high-priority legislation but pursued now for a bill that nobody is marching in the streets for. Anything to cement themselves into a permanent position of power.

As Joe Biden himself said, “It’s about election subversion, not just whether or not people get to vote. Who counts the vote? That’s what this is about, that’s what makes this so different from anything else we’ve ever done.” Indeed.

Voters Aren’t Clamoring for Democrat Priorities
It’s hard being a Democrat lately. Just ask Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. After promising to hold a vote to eliminate the filibuster and force through passage of their “voting rights” bill by Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 17), he had to push it back again.

This, of course, comes on the heels of a stinging defeat of the Biden administration’s Covid vaccine mandate by the Supreme Court. That failure was preceded by the “Build Back Better” bill being stalled in the Senate, perhaps for good.

Party leaders are upset, but the truth is that voters are not enthusiastic about much of this.

There are no marches for mandates. Nor is there any grassroots demand for Build Back Better or the federalization of state elections. And a recent poll found that support for the filibuster has only grown since Democrats began their push to eliminate it (now by a 53 percent to 27 percent approval to disapproval margin).

Democrats Mistakenly Double Down
Democrats may fail at policy, but they’ve always been reliably competent at the game of politics, zeroing in on votes with great precision. Have you noticed they haven’t been themselves lately, though?

Even after taking a shellacking in statewide elections in Virginia and New Jersey last November, a moment when sane politicians typically learn from defeat, they instead doubled down. In her usual well-reasoned manner, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., commented after the electoral bloodbath that Democrats were beaten, not because of the president’s agenda, but because they hadn’t done enough to “excite, speak to, or energize a progressive base.”

Never mind that voters knew what was at stake — and clearly rejected it.

One would have thought that older and more seasoned politicians might have guided the young House member back to reality, but the ragin’ Cajun himself, James Carville, only sparked her outrage in saying that “stupid wokeness” had cost the Democrats. James comes from the era of old-school politics, one that abided by the cardinal rule: “Never piss off voters.” He’s surely aware of its corollary: “If you do, then turn back – ASAP.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should know better, but she responded, “no, no,” when asked if the election results in Virginia and New Jersey would cause Democrats to rethink their plans. Full steam ahead.

Democrats Out of Touch
The president lamented that his big ticket bills hadn’t been passed before Election Day, and then concluded, “but I’m not sure I would have been able to change the number of very conservative folks who turned out in red districts that were Trump voters.”

For a politician who’s been in public office for nigh 50 years, that kind of logic seems disturbingly unhinged. How exactly does one surmise both that the party’s losses were due to not passing the big agenda soon enough (AOC’s position), and that it would not have mattered anyway because, you know, the red wave was coming? Excuses, blindness, or something else? It’s hard to tell.

We’re left to ponder: Have Democrats lost the ability to navigate public opinion? Does it even matter to them anymore? With the midterm elections just 10 months away, and the polls moving away from Democrats, will they continue to walk off the electoral cliff or bring themselves back to reality?

No Compromise
President Bill Clinton, who also saw his party shellacked in a midterm, acted in the way that sensible politicians normally do. He called up the new Republican speaker of the House and asked how they could work together. The result was a Democrat president signing on to welfare reform and abandoning his unpopular quest for government-run universal health care. Voters rewarded him with re-election.

Nothing seems to faze Joe, though. No compromise ever seems possible. There are, of course, times it’s noble to dig the heels in. Faced with an approaching enemy, Winston Churchill proclaimed, “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.” So where is the honor and good sense in ignoring voters who now give this president an embarrassing 33 percent approval rating?

Instead of finding common values to unite the nation, Biden calls those who disagree with him a bunch of racists. “Do you want to be the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?,” Biden pontificated in a speech pushing his “voting rights” bill. “Do you want to be the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? Do you want to be the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide, to defend our elections, to defend our democracy.”

Churchill battled the Nazis. Biden battles half of the country who simply disagrees with his party on a matter of policy — that is, who should control state elections — and whether we should suddenly abandon a Senate rule that’s existed for more than 200 years.

Not the Will of the People
Instead of being the moderate voters thought he was and simply calling up Republicans to find common ground legislation, policies for which voters would reward him, Biden remains ideologically ensconced in a White House driven by leftist special interest groups — venturing out to speak only to his own party’s caucus.

Facing a headwind of opposition, he told the group of fellow Democrats on the Hill, “I don’t know that we can get this done … but I know one thing, as long as I have a breath in me … I’m going to be fighting to change the way these legislatures have moved.” Perhaps that’s the problem, Mr. President. You’re pushing a process rather than the will of the people.

Real Clear Politics notes that “it isn’t accidental that, in the generic ballot … the Democrats’ current vote share is 42.8%, nearly mimicking Biden’s.”

And “what does [RCP’s model] tell us about 2022? … a Republican-controlled Senate starts to come into the picture when Biden’s job approval falls to around 51% and becomes the most likely outcome at around 48%.” Biden is now at 42 percent approval in the RCP average, and that math should be clear to Democrats — but somehow, they seem unconcerned.

Maybe there’s a logical reason, a method to their madness. After pulling off the statistics-bending, six-fold swing-state wonder in the wee hours of election night 2020, perhaps Democrats now have reason to believe they’re no longer accountable to voters. Public opinion and polls become meaningless when you control the election process, when the courts turn a blind eye, and when the media blocks any honest inquiry.

Rush was right. Democrats are now working harder to change the election system than to change your mind because, as their actions demonstrate, they don’t care what you think. They just want to win.

“She was literally trapped there,” Hansen said.

Ashli Babbitt is shown in the two pix BEHIND the man with the yellow (Don't Tread on Me) flag. In subsequent pix/video, she is AHEAD of the man with the yellow flag - and seemingly being PUSHED FROM BEHIND.

One imagines she was grabbed and pushed there by either Yellow Flag Man, or an ally.

It is my contention that this "Yellow Flag Man" is a Federal "Operator" (his apparent age and physical condition indicates this.) and his role was EXACTLY what he did - present someone for "execution."

It all may have been a "setup within a setup."

The Military calls it "progressive resistance" - each layer offers MORE resistance with a time interval between layers to allow "second thoughts" or awareness of the situation to creep in among the aggressors.

DEMOCRAT INSANITY: DC Cops Sue Black Conservative Ali Alexander Using KKK Act — Claim “Racism and White Supremacy” Pervaded His Efforts – ALI RESPONDS

By Joe Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 8:00am

Ali Alexander is being sued by eight cops in DC alleging that he is responsible for their alleged injuries on Jan 6. The police are using the KKK Act as their basis to sue.

Alexander is a black conservative.

A group of corrupt DC police is suing Ali Alexander, President Trump, Roger Stone and others and blaming them for their injuries on Jan 6. This crazy case is backed by a progressive DC-based law firm that is representing them.

The case relies on the KKK Act. Alexander is a black conservative. WTH!
Below is Alexander’s first response to this case filed today. It is well worth the read.

Alexander was raised by his single mother in section 8 housing. He overcame many hurdles while making his way to a Bible college. He eventually got into politics and where he in the projects and rallies and raising awareness for a variety of candidates and issues, including advising the Trump Administration on criminal justice reform.

He used a silhouette of his most tragic youthful mugshot on a t-shirt to raise money for fatherless Black boys, boys who are growing up like he grew up. That Alexander is being accused by the Plaintiffs and their attorneys of conspiring to violate the Ku Klux Klan Act, the D.C. Bias Related Crimes Act (Am. Compl. para. 4), and that “[r]acism and white supremacy pervaded Defendants’ efforts from the outset” (Am. Compl. para. 5) is particularly odious, let alone factually baseless.

Did these DC cops and their attorneys even look at his picture?

Will RINO Republican Senators Like Romney or Murkowski Vote with Democrats on HR1 Ending Free and Fair Elections in the US?

Will RINO Republican Senators Like Romney or Murkowski Vote with Democrats on HR1 Ending Free and Fair Elections in the US?

By Joe Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 9:30am

Far-left groups are all over Democrat Senators Manchin and Sinema but what if RINO Republicans like Romney and Murkowski side with the Democrats in their place on the ‘end elections forevermore’ bill?

Democrats are enraged with Senators Manchin and Sinema who are blocking the Democrats’ plans to codify their 2020 Election steal tactics for all future elections:

MSNBC Contributor Says Manchin and Sinema ‘Are the White People’ MLK Jr. ‘Warned Us About’

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema is under attack from previously friendly allies because she says she’s not in favor of changing the centuries-old policy of the filibuster:

A political action committee dedicated to helping elect to office female Democratic candidates who support allowing abortion says it will no longer endorse Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., over her opposition to a change in Senate rules.

In a statement released Tuesday, Laphonza Butler, president of Emily’s List, warned that Sinema may “find herself standing alone in the next election” should she not support efforts to change the chamber’s rules so Democrats can pass legislation to overhaul elections.

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is also under attack from the left not only for not backing HR1. Newsmax reports:

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has been targeted in more than 700 ads on Facebook and Instagram by Democrat colleagues since the House sent President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better package to the Senate on Nov. 15, Newsweekis reporting.

Democrats are panicking about the passage of HR1 that will take over elections at a national level, allow for voting without ID, no proof of US citizenship, drop boxes everywhere, ballot harvesting, and more. The bill will end free and fair elections forevermore.

So without the two Democrat Senators’ votes, the Democrats’ plan to end free and fair elections will fail, or will it?

Let’s not forget that RINO Senators like Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski are wild cards who will do anything to stop President Trump and his movement. HR1 will do that because the Democrats will steal the next election as they did in 2020.

With RINOs like Romney and Murkowski there’s always a chance.

EXCLUSIVE: The Fact that Arizona Attorney General Brnovich Has Done Nothing with Criminal Activities Identified in 2020 Election Audit is REPREHENSIBLE

By Joe Hoft
Published January 19, 2022 at 10:00am

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich was given a platter of fraudulent and criminal activities related to the results of the 2020 Election in Arizona. The fact that he has done nothing with this to date is reprehensible.

Arizona AG Mark Brnovich acts tough. He is happy to show that he knows how to use nunchucks. He thinks this makes him tough. But the fact is that Brnovich was given a platter full of criminal acts and activities related to the 2020 Election and he has done nothing. He’s proving that he’s the opposite of tough.

In September a group of individuals in Arizona identified thousands of issues related to voters who reportedly voted in the 2020 Election. This group estimated that nearly 300,000 votes in Maricopa County in the 2020 Election were questionable and very possibly fraudulent.

Then later in the month, the results of the audit in Maricopa identified over 400,000 ballot issues. These included in images of over 250,000 ballots that were lost, over 80,000 ballots related to voters who don’t appear to exist, over 17,000 duplicate absentee ballots, 9,000 ballot envelopes that were missing, and much more. (Note that the audit excluded signature verification on absentee ballots per the original agreement for the audit which would have no doubt have identified tens of thousands of additional ballot issues.)

BREAKING: THE LIST - Nearly 700,000 Maricopa County Ballots Identified with Issues from the Audit and Separate Canvassing Work to Date | The Gateway Pundit | by Joe Hoft

We determined that nearly 700,000 ballots in Maricopa County have issues as identified during the recent audit and canvassing of the county. These issues are not likely mutually exclusive but give a very good indication that the 2020 Election in Arizona was full of hundreds of thousands of...

These numbers are horrific, but the really shocking results from the Maricopa Audit were those items identified by IT expert Ben Cotton and his team. Included are items like routers and poll worker laptops that have not yet been provided to the audit workers despite being subpoenaed. Why have people not been arrested for not providing these items?

Cotton’s team even caught individuals deleting data from devices. These illegal acts were caught on video and were turned over to Arizona’s AG. There is no reason for delaying arrests here. Where is Brnovich and why have these people not been arrested? If there is a reason then why has Brnovich not provided it? This could have been done months ago.

No matter what state you live in, contact Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich to demand immediate action and arrests for the criminals identified in the long-ago reported audit and canvassing efforts in Maricopa County.

The fact that individuals have not been arrested in Arizona related to their criminal acts during the 2020 Election is outrageous.

Either we have laws or we don’t. We need people of integrity and courage to address the criminals who stole our 2020 Election.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Denies Trump’s Effort to Block White House Records From Sham Jan. 6 Committee

By Cristina Laila
Published January 19, 2022 at 6:09pm

The US Supreme Court on Wednesday denied President Trump’s efforts to keep White House records from the January 6 Committee.

Trump asserted executive privilege over hundreds of pages of documents, but Joe Biden said the records should be released to Congress.

House lawyers argued the sham committee needs Trump’s records “to complete a thorough investigation into how the actions of the former president, his advisers, and other government officials may have contributed to the attack on Congress to impede the peaceful transfer of presidential power.”

Trump filed an application for stay with mandate and injunction pending review with the US Supreme Court after a 3-judge panel for the DC Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his effort to block the records.

On Wednesday the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s request to stop the National Archives from giving the House Select Committee probing January 6 hundreds of documents.

Clarence Thomas was the only justice who said the court should have granted Trump’s motion while the case is under review.

NBC News reported:

The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected former President Donald Trump’s effort to stop the National Archives from giving the House Jan. 6 committee hundreds of pages of documents from his time in the White House.

The court’s action clears the way for the National Archives to hand the material over now, while the Supreme Court in the meantime decides whether to hear Trump’s broader appeal of lower court rulings that said he could not stop the material from being produced by asserting executive privilege.

Only Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should have granted the Trump motion to block the National Archives from handing the material over while the case is under review.

There is no deadline for the court to decide whether to take up the Trump appeal. But Wednesday’s order means that even if the former president eventually wins on the legal point about the strength of a former president’s privilege, any victory would be a hollow one, because the documents will have been turned over in the meantime.

The corrupt Pennsylvania Secretary of State, Dominion Voting Machines, and now the Democrats in the Pennsylvania Senate all desperately want to end the investigation of the voting machines in Fulton County. Today they dropped nearly 750 pages of garbage arguments and made their plea in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

Remember this… As an international auditor who performed hundreds of audits around the world, I have never seen or heard about an auditee refusing to be audited. I have certainly never experienced an auditee take me to court to prevent an audit from taking place… The fact that the state of Pennsylvania and Dominion Voting Machines are trying to prevent an investigation of these machines in Fulton County raises more red flags than are raised in a CCP parade.

On Friday the liberal Pennsylvania Supreme Court stepped in and halted the 2020 Election investigation of Fulton County’s voting machines. This was after the lower courts allowed the investigation to proceed.

Then on Monday Fulton County responded to the PA Supreme Court with their rationale for moving ahead with their investigation.

AZ Attorney General Mark Brnovich Threatens To Prosecute Soros-Funded Secretary of State Katie Hobbs For Rigging 2022

By Jordan Conradson
Published January 19, 2022 at 7:50pm

Radical Soros-funded leftist Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is straining to steal the 2022 elections, starting with a rigged primary election.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported that the Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich rejected Katie Hobbs’ proposed 2022 Elections Procedures Manual after she failed to correct the outlined law violations. Arizona will now operate under the 2019 Elections Procedures Manual.

Katie Hobbs' Arizona 2021 Elections Procedures Manual Rejected By AZ Attorney General - AZ Will Operate Under 2019 Elections Manual Instead | The Gateway Pundit | by Jordan Conradson

Arizona will operate under the 2019 Elections Procedures Manual in the upcoming elections after Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich refused to certify AZ Secretary of State Katie Hobbs’ 2021 draft manual.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Katie Hobbs, who is also running for Governor of Arizona, sent an email to candidates last week, informing them that the E-Qual online system would be shut down in March, likely until the end of the filing period in April.

She is rigging another election.

This would make the online petition portal for 2022 candidates unavailable. Candidates must obtain a minimum number of petition signatures to appear on a ballot.

Arizona law requires the Secretary of State to provide a secure internet portal for candidate petitions.

On Friday, Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright sent an email to the Secretary of State’s office, threatening Katie Hobbs’ with a class 6 felony if she follows through.

Re: Availability of E-Qual for 2022 Legislative & Congressional Candidates

Dear Ms. Dul:

We have received numerous complaints regarding the Secretary of State’s Office (“SOS”) recent communication to congressional and legislative candidates regarding the E-Qual online system. An email sent from the SOS dated January 11, 2022, informed candidates that the system would be suspended when the new redistricting maps are finalized and likely remain unavailable through the remainder of the filing period. The purpose of this letter is to inform you that any such action would be contrary to law. The SOS must therefore take all steps necessary to continue the E-Qual system during the remainder of the candidate filing period in order for the Secretary of State to comply with the law and her legal duties.

The law requires the Secretary of State to provide an online system for congressional and legislative candidates to gather nomination signatures: “Notwithstanding any other statute in this title, the secretary of state shall provide a system for qualified electors to sign a nomination petition … for [candidates for statewide and legislative offices] by way of a secure internet portal.” A.R.S. § 16-316(A), (B) (emphasis added);seealsoA.R.S.§16-318(same for congressional candidates). Furthermore, the“system shall allow only those qualified electors who are eligible to sign for a particular candidate to sign the petition[.]” Id.

Moreover, as you are aware, a public officer upon whom a duty is imposed by Title 16, who knowingly fails or refuses to perform that duty in the manner prescribed by law or knowingly acts in violation of any provision of such law, is guilty of either a class 6 felony or class 3 misdemeanor. A.R.S. §§ 16-1009, -1010.

The Attorney General is required to enforce the provisions of Title 16 through civil and criminal actions in any election for members of the legislature. A.R.S. § 16-1021.

As it is clear that no action yet has been taken to deprive candidates of their statutory right to obtain online nomination signatures, we urge the Secretary of State to fix the system without delay.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Wright
Assistant Attorney General

Yesterday, Arizona Senate Republicans issued a statement commending Arizona Attorney General Brnovich.

Senate Majority Leadership Applauds AG Brnovich for Once Again Calling Out Secretary of State Hobbs for Failing to Comply with Elections Law

In response to numerous complaints on Secretary of State Katie Hobbs for warning that the electronic system E-Qual will be shut down in March, the Senate Majority Leadership commends Attorney General Mark Brnovich for taking action and issuing the letter regarding “Availability of E-Qual for 2022 Legislative & Congressional Candidates,” concerning her absurd violations of state statute.

“The Secretary of State’s office is tasked with facilitating candidate election qualification- not influencing it. Secretary of State Hobbs’ blatant disregard of state law infringes on the ability for candidates from all parties to qualify for the ballot. We would expect greater leadership from someone charged with carrying out the core functions of Arizona’s election laws, but instead, she continues to make serious errors that violate statute. No potential candidates should face any illegal roadblocks when participating in our democratic process,” stated Senate Majority Leadership.

Arizona Republicans are working to pass election reform in the legislature, including decertification of the fraudulent 2020 election after the Maricopa County election audit found hundreds of thousands of ballot discrepancies, and elections law violations.

Senate Rejects Filibuster Change, Defeats Election Overhaul Bills In History-Making Day

Senate Rejects Filibuster Change, Defeating Election Overhaul Bills

ANDREW TRUNSKYPOLITICAL REPORTER
January 19, 202210:52 PM ET

• The Senate late Thursday rejected a Democratic effort to alter the filibuster in order to pass their long-sought voting bills over unanimous Republican opposition, capping one of the most consequential days in the history of the chamber.
• The change, had it been adopted, would have established a “talking filibuster,” allowing any senator to speak for or against the bill for as long as they wanted but lowering the 60-vote threshold for passage to a simple majority.
• Democrats’ attempt to change Senate rules concluded a marathon day of debating in the chamber that saw nearly half of the body speak about the voting bills. They failed, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer moved to change the rules soon after.
• Though senators engaged in genuine debate throughout the day, most expressed disdain for how deliberation seemed to have faded from the world’s greatest deliberative body.
• “I don’t know what happened to the good old days,” said West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, “but I can’t tell you they aren’t here now.”

The Senate late Thursday rejected a Democratic effort to alter the filibuster in order to pass their long-sought voting bills over unanimous Republican opposition, capping one of the most consequential days in the history of the chamber.

The vote failed 48-52 after Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema voted as they said they would for months, joining a unanimous Republican caucus in opposition and denying their party the necessary support for the change to take effect. The change, had it been adopted, would have established a “talking filibuster” pertaining to the voting bills only, allowing any senator to speak for or against them for as long as they wanted but lowering the 60-vote threshold for passage to a simple majority.

“What we have now … is not a filibuster,” Maine Sen. Angus King, and independent who caucuses with Democrats, said ahead of the vote. “It doesn’t require any effort. It doesn’t require any speeches. It doesn’t require to hold the floor.”

“Strom Thurmond would have loved this filibuster,” King added, invoking the late segregationist senator who set the record for the longest filibuster speech ever while speaking against the 1957 Civil Rights Act.

Democrats’ attempt to change Senate rules concluded a marathon day of debating in the chamber that saw nearly half of the body speak either for the John Lewis Voting Rights Reauthorization Act and the Freedom to Vote Act, the twin bills that passed the House Thursday with a quirk that prevented Senate Republicans from blocking debate on them as they had in the past.

The voting bills failed to garner 60 Senate votes earlier Wednesday night even though Manchin and Sinema voted in favor, sparking Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s motion to change Senate rules to allow them to pass without GOP support.

“For those who believe bipartisanship is possible, we have proven them wrong,” Manchin said ahead of the vote. “Ending the filibuster would be the easy way out. I cannot support such a perilous course for this nation when elected leaders are sent to Washington to unite our country by putting politics and party aside.”

Democrats have said the bills are necessary to counter election reform laws that Republican state legislatures across the country have passed in the wake of the 2020 election that allegedly suppress people’s ability to vote. As a result, nearly all have endorsed altering the filibuster to ensure their passage even if done on a partisan basis.

“I share with many of you … a vision of the Senate that collaborates and negotiates the most important issue of our time,” Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock said. “I believe in bipartisanship. But at what cost? Who is being asked to foot the bill for this bipartisanship and is liberty itself the cost?”


Republicans, however, have countered that the federal legislation, which sets uniform voting standards and outlaws partisan gerrymandering, will invite voter fraud and infringe on states’ rights to oversee their own elections.

“The president and his party will try to use fear and panic to smash the Senate, silence millions of Americans and size control of our democracy,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday.

McConnell said hours later that while the day was one of the most consequential in the history of the Senate, it really boiled down to a simple question: “Will it take 60 votes to pass massive changes or a simple majority to ram them through? That’s what’s at stake here.”

Though senators engaged in genuine debate throughout the day, most expressed disdain for how deliberation seemed to have faded from the world’s greatest deliberative body. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, the only Republican who backed the John Lewis voting bill, said Wednesday that the rhetoric surrounding voting has become very concerning.

“I was part of a very troubling conversation last evening,” she said. “It was shared depending on which side you’re on in this body today on this issue, you’re either a racist or a hypocrite. Really, is that where we are?”

Manchin echoed her hours later in his speech, criticizing the lack of bipartisanship as he has time and time again throughout his filibuster defenses.

“I don’t know what happened to the good old days,” he said, “but I can’t tell you they aren’t here now.”

Senate Democrats failed to advance their Election Steal legislation in a 49-51 vote.

The vote passed on party lines. Chuck Schumer switched his vote for procedural reasons.

The bill will make elections open to all and allow Democrats to manufacture and stuff ballot boxes.

It is a dream for Democrats who know they must cheat to win elections.



It is also a disgrace and pure communism.

These people are pure evil.

Democrats now hope to use a “talking filibuster” gimmick to pass the legislation.

God help us.



NBC News reported:

Senate Republicans voted in unity Wednesday to block the advancement of a package of sweeping election legislation pushed by Democrats in a tense showdown over national voting rights.

The vote on the Freedom to Vote Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act was 49-51. The vote broke evenly along party lines, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer switched his vote to “no” in the end for procedural reasons. It fell short of the 60 votes required to defeat a filibuster under Senate rules.

Senate Democratic leaders now turn to a planned effort to change the rules, impose a “talking filibuster” and ultimately pass the legislation without Republicans once debate ends.

The vote is set to be followed by an attempt by Senate Democratic leaders to change that 60-vote rule, impose a “talking filibuster” and ultimately pass the legislation without Republicans once debate ends.

That effort, which is expected later Wednesday night and would require only 50 votes, is also expected to fail.

Dems Plot To Prosecute Trump Over Jan 6 To Prevent Him Running In 2024

WEDNESDAY, JAN 19, 2022 - 02:00 PM
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit News,

Senate Democrats are plotting to have Attorney General Merrick Garland prosecute Donald Trump over January 6 in a bid to block him from running for president in 2024.



Several Democrat lawmakers believe there is a “good chance” the Department of Justice will act to prosecute Trump, knocking him out of the race before his campaign can even begin.

The move is being plotted despite there being no evidence that Trump (unlike certain federal agents) orchestrated or encouraged the January 6 raid on the Capitol.

“They have all of the evidence at their disposal,” claimed Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), asserting that “federal statutes that are very much implicated” by Trump’s apparent attempt to stop the certification of the election.

Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) claimed there was “a lot of evidence that he was complicit” in fueling the January 6 riot (without citing any).

“I think anybody who it’s proven had a role in the planning of [the Jan. 6 attack] should be prosecuted, not just the people who broke in and smashed the window in my office and others,” said Brown.

However, some Dems said any prosecution of Trump could backfire if he was able to wriggle free of it.

“If you pull the trigger on this one, you have to make sure that you don’t miss, because this is one if you miss it essentially validates the conduct,” one senator told The Hill.

The plot is another indication of the desperate position Democrats find themselves in two years out from the next presidential election year.

Massive doubts are still swirling as to whether Joe Biden, whose approval rating just sunk to a new low, will be physically and mentally competent to run again in 2024.

However, his potential replacement, Kamala Harris, is even more unpopular.

The desperation is so evident that reports have begun to circulate that the universally loathed Hillary Clinton could even throw her hat in the ring once again.

Whether Trump or someone else ends up on the Republican ticket in 2024, the GOP will only have itself to blame if it doesn’t provide a highly competitive candidate.

AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem Speaks At Save America Rally: “The Arizona Election Should Be DECERTIFIED With Cause By The Legislature”

By Jordan Conradson
Published January 19, 2022 at 10:45pm
Arizona State representative and Trump-endorsed candidate for Secretary of State Mark Finchem spoke at President Trump’s latest rally in Florence, Arizona.

The Gateway Pundit reported on President Trump’s entire rally and the enormous crowd sizes.

During the rally, Trump-endorsed Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers called for decertification of the fraudulent 2020 presidential election in the 2022 legislative session, which started last week.

While on stage, Rep. Finchem joined State Senator Rogers in her calls for decertification of the “irredeemably compromised” 2020 Presidential Election.

He also spoke about critical election reform that he has sponsored in the Arizona House, including banning voting machines, conducting regular audits, ballots with currency-grade fraud countermeasures, and making ballot images publicly available to the voter.

Finchem: From Maricopa County to Pima County and yes, even all the way down to Yuma. We have a systematic problem. I’m not talking about voter fraud. I’m talking about election fraud. We’re always going to have voters that cheat, but we have systems that are broken. We need to repair those systems. We need to take care of those systems. We need to maintain those systems. You deserve a secretary of a state who will put your interests first, who will diligently promote voter list clean up, watermarks on ballots, a verifiable audit trail, and to refer criminality to the Attorney General’s office when it’s found. We must take what we’ve learned in the audit and restore your confidence in your elections, but I’m going to need your help. I look forward to the day that we set aside an irredeemably flawed election. That’s the election of 2020. With all the evidence we have, the Arizona election should be decertified with cause by the legislature. And yes, the unenumerated powers of the 10th Amendment do indeed give the state legislatures around this country, when they have an irredeemably flawed election, irredeemably compromised means they cannot determine who the real winner is because the election is so polluted. It is time for us, the Arizona legislature to move those counties which are irredeemably compromised into the you’re decertified section. This is how the people can get justice. Now, if you want to join me, and you want to help me clean this mess that Katie Hobbs and Adrian Fontes created. I need to have you go to VoteFinchem.com, sign my petition at the top of the page, and read the news because every single thing that I put out there is on the News tab. I’m probably going to be the most transparent candidate you have ever seen in a political race. Every news hit is out there. God bless you, and God bless Donald Trump.

Contact Arizona legislators and demand decertification of the fraudulent 2020 Presidential Election.

Garland Favorito and VoterGA held a press conference this morning at 10 AM Eastern to discuss the lack of chain of custody documentation on the state’s ballot drop-box implementation.

According to Garland at least 100,000 Georgia ballots lack the adequate chain of custody documents from the 2020 election. The number is likely much larger than this. Garland Favorito told The Gateway Pundit his investigation corroborates the True the Vote ballot box fraud investigation in the state of Georgia. Garland told us they still have no idea how many ballots came from drop boxes in 202o. That number has not been provided by the state! This is absolutely shocking that that number was never released.

This morning during the press conference Garland Favorito spoke out against the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Garland Favorito: “This is a systematic coverup by the Secretary of State. He’s been doing this ever since the election… So ‘yes’ there is a coverup in the state of Georgia and ‘yes’ the Secretary of State is behind it.”

Who’s "Cleaning" Our Voter Rolls? Soros Funded ERIC Is Now Used In 31 States | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

Who’s “Cleaning” Our Voter Rolls? Soros Founded and Funded ERIC Is Now Used In 31 States

By Jim Hoft
Published January 20, 2022 at 8:00am

For decades the Democrats and leftists have fought ferociously to prevent the cleanup of State voter registration rolls. Recognizing a potential niche, left wing activists created ERIC to clean voter rolls their way, using their rules. So in 2012 the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) was formed as a membership organization primarily for blue States. ERIC is essentially a left wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean up. But it’s been gaining traction in Red States too. Originally funded by the Soros Open Society, it is now responsible for cleaning the voter rolls in 31 States, plus D.C. A top election official from each member State is appointed a seat on the ERIC Board or as an Officer, all unpaid positions.

ERIC located 17 million new voters for the 2020 election, the most in the history of their organization. For comparison, they only found 5.7 million in 2012, Obama’s reelection.

The ERIC database is comprehensive and would be one of the most coveted by bad actors looking to influence an election. Member States must not only submit all details on inactive and active voters to ERIC every 60 days. But they must also provide every individual in their states Motor Vehicle Department database, both licensed and ID recipients. This combo of data is breathtaking. It’s everyone who could generate a legal ballot. It includes those approaching voting age, even those here illegally yet issued an ID by their left leaning State. This data includes names, addresses, DOB, License #, last 4 of social #, voter activity, phone, email, title and type of citizenship documentation, and much more!

ERIC doesn’t just manage lists, they demand action. But it’s not the action you would expect, like cleaning voter rolls. ERIC provides each member State a targeted list of people that are not registered to vote. The Membership Bylaws require the State to contact at least 95% of these people within 90 days, soliciting them to register. ERIC also wants specific registration profiles updated and requires the State to contact these voters within 90 days too. It’s essentially a left wing voter registration drive all paid for by the States, not the Democrat Party. The membership fee is $25,000 but costs can run into the millions to fund the activities and membership dues.

Oddly, ERIC has no requirement or mandate that member States clean up their voter rolls.

States are only “strongly encouraged” to request ERIC’s voter updates at least once a year. If a member fails to make a request in 425 days, the data will be sent automatically. What’s even more odd, and seemingly corrupt, is that ERIC does NOT want to know who is voting illegally.

Their rules explain that “Under no circumstances shall the members transmit any record indicating an individual is a non-citizen of the U.S.” as stated in Exhibit A, 2b. If ERIC hears no evil, then they see no evil.

ERIC uses advanced technology including Artificial Intelligence from Senzing. This data matching AI compares information collected by member states with USPS address data and Social Security death records. But no one knows how else this data collected from the 31 States is being used. J. Christian Adams recently discussed ERIC in a Breitbart podcast interview (starts 1:16:50). Adams says: “That’s part of the smoke screen. ERIC learns who gets registered from their program, so they’re able to micro target with whoever is partnered with ERIC. We don’t know who their interfacing all this data with. It could be Catalist, the massive Democrat database organization. We just don’t know. I’ve talked to some ERIC Board Members who are Secretary of States. They don’t even know what ERIC is doing. They’ve asked questions and can’t get answers.”

ERIC demands additional data, like the total number of provisional ballots cast (See Exhibit B&C). They. They want totals of provisional ballots counted, provisional’s uncounted, and why. They want to know who registered or updated their data, then voted that same day. They require data on those who registered using paper and those using electronic methods. They also want a list of all individuals in other agencies that perform voter registration functions. This includes staff in Public Libraries, Department of Public Safety, Unemployment, Dept of Health, Social Services, and so on.

Member States are currently using ERIC to hide their list maintenance data, citing it violates their ERIC contracts, even though Federal law mandates it be made public. The 1993 NVRA (Motor Voter) law includes a “Public Disclosure Provision” which allows the public inspection of “voter list maintenance records”. The Public Interest Legal Foundation with J. Christian Adams recently sued the District of Columbia for this exact reason. They expect to sue other States as well. Those leading election audits should demand “Voter List Maintenance Records” by citing the Federal law U.S.C. 20507(i)(1) and not use the weaker FOIA requests for maintenance records. See DC case for details.

ERIC was funded by an “anonymous” donor and The Pew Center On The States. This grant was provided by the George Soros Open Society. David Becker, an experienced Democrat election lawyer, left the Justice Department to create the ERIC architecture. Originally a blue State project, ERIC had 11 member states by 2014 and 22 by 2017. ERIC has not published an annual report since 2017, almost 5 years ago. Becker, who still has a seat on the ERIC board, went on to create the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) in 2016. He distributed $69.5 million in grants from Zuckerberg for the 2020 election using similar methods as CTCL.

J. Christian Adams from PILF explains: “The history of ERIC is important. Kansas State Cross Check was a group of States doing this for free. This caused leftists to go wild. They sued Cross Check participant States, particularly Indiana, and got court orders to basically shut down Cross Check. There’s no longer a competitor to ERIC. Once this happened, red states started joining ERIC like GA, FL, TX. This is what really opened the flood gates to ERIC’s power. If a State like Georgia wants to know who’s registered in both Louisiana and Georgia, there’s no one else.

Mr. Adams also says: “One thing we do know is ERIC is hiding the facts about how States are making these decisions. It’s a system breakdown. It’s a leveraging of power of who writes the rules. It’s not just outright cheating, it’s way more sophisticated involving who has power, who can see records, who gets to vote, and who are the observers. It’s (ERIC) a comprehensive suite manipulating the process. And it’s not always cheating. Sometimes it’s totally legal what they do.”

In 2016, leaked funding documents showed Soros money, partnered with the Rockefeller Family Fund, was used to push changes to voter registration policies at the national level. Soros also gave money to Pew Center On The States for voter list maintenance practices favorable to Soros at the state level. Soros also funded the Brennan Center for Justice and the Advancement Project. These two groups became the loudest voices in opposing election integrity and STOPPING any effort that would ensure only U.S. citizens vote.

Newly released footage from Maricopa County Elections shows more disregard for policies and procedures by Elections employees and further discredits the recent County efforts to rebut election fraud claims.

The Gateway Pundit recently reported on videos that show Maricopa County Elections employees using cellphones and even photographing ballots in unauthorized areas. A sign in the staff break room clearly reads, “ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED IN THIS AREA ONLY.”

Despite the policies in place, another elections worker can be seen in the next video using his cell phone in the server room.

The Elections department shows utter disregard for its own policies.

Maricopa County recently released a report attempting to rebut Arizona Senate election auditors’ claims that hundreds of thousands of ballots were cast illegally in the 2020 election. The County finally admitted that ballots were cast illegally but claimed there were less than 100 cases.

The County also attempted to refute claims that data was not deleted from the elections system and cited their policy that states, “It is County elections policy to require two people in the server room whenever someone is using the server room keyboard video monitor (KVM).”

In the video below, an employee is seen alone in the server room in violation of County elections policy. When walking out of the server room, he also appears to be using a cellphone in the unauthorized area.

Will the PA Supreme Court Produce Another Unconstitutional Ruling Validating the Democrats' Election Steal or Will It Follow the Constitution? We'll See

Will the PA Supreme Court Produce Another Unconstitutional Ruling Validating the Democrats’ Election Steal or Will It Follow the Constitution? We’ll See

By Joe Hoft
Published January 20, 2022 at 9:15am

Before and after the 2020 Election, the Supreme Court in Pennsylvania made several rulings that many believe weren’t based on the Constitution but went against free and fair elections.

Will they do it again?

Before the 2020 Election in Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court there ruled that absentee ballots could be received and counted up to three days after Election day. This went against common sense and the Pennsylvania Constitution.

By allowing this, the court allowed the Democrats to determine how many votes were needed to steal the election and then send in these ballots during the three days after the election.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Strikes Green Party Candidate from Ballot -- Allows Late Ballots to Be Counted Up to Three Days After Election

www.thegatewaypundit.com

This case was referred to the US Supreme Court and was kept in place because new judge Amy Coney Barret refused to get involved. Justice Barret claimed she was too new to the court. Judge Alito ordered the state to keep track of all ballots that came in after Election Day.

President Trump was up by around 700,000 votes on Election Night. Somehow the Democrats made up this difference and gave the state to Joe Biden. There was no tally of absentee ballots on Election Night so we have no idea how many ballots were in-house on election night and how many were received or manufactured after Election Night. The state eventually claimed on 14,000 ballots came in after Election night and gave Biden the lead by 80,000 ballots. The election was stolen.

After the election, the Pennsylvania Supreme court rejected President Trump’s claim that election observers were unconstitutionally prevented access to vote counting centers.

President Trump was up by nearly 700,000 votes on election night in Pennsylvania when all of a sudden vote counting came to a halt.

www.thegatewaypundit.com

The actions by Democrats to prevent Republicans from observing election counting were reprehensible and invalidated the election. The court ignored this in their ruling.

[This article was first published on November 5, 2020] A registered Democrat and poll watcher at the Philadelphia Convention Center overseeing ballot counters detailed corruption at the highest levels in the city of Philadelphia.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court also ruled after the 2020 Election that mailed-in ballots with no dates or handwritten names could be counted. Who knows where these ballots came from.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Rules Mail-In/Absentee Ballots with No Dates or Handwritten Name/Address Can be Counted

www.thegatewaypundit.com

Now the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is hearing a case where a small county (Fulton County) would like to investigate their voting machines and the state and Dominion claim that the county can’t do it. Dominion is acting like a used car salesman who claims he can tell the owner of a car he sold where the car can be driven. The Pennsylvania Secretary of State is claiming that the county’s voting machines should not be investigated because the investigators are not who the SoS wants to perform the investigation and they aren’t professional enough, which is not true.

This decision may be the last election audit in the US. Dominion knows it and is all-in. The Democrats do too. This is why they’ve produced around 1,000 pages of legalese to make their non-sensical arguments, all paid for by the PA taxpayer.

We’ll see what the PA Supreme Court does.

Overall, as a former auditor, I’ve performed hundreds of audits around the globe. I never had anyone refuse an audit. I certainly never was sued to prevent an audit. The fact the state and Dominion are doing this says it all.

Wisconsin Speaker Vos Removes Rep. Ramthun’s Staff after He Outed Vos for Being Behind Drop Boxes Across the Country in the 2020 Election

By Joe Hoft
Published January 20, 2022 at 9:45am

On Wednesday Wisconsin House Speaker Robin Vos sent his Chief of Staff Jenny Tofness to Representative Timothy Ramthun‘s office in Madison.

Speaker Vos removed and reallocated Rep. Timothy Ranthun’s staff to a different office after Ramthun outed Vos of signing a deal with attorneys for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to authorize ballot drop boxes, according to Vos’ office. We heard from our sources this morning that Vos’s operatives even removed Ramthun’s Chief of Staff who was at home tending to a sick child.

Recently Rep. Ramthun has been on fire, calling out politicians and explaining to his followers and supporters in a number of press releases how the state laws were broken in the 2020 election by the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC). Ramthun also believes Robin Vos’ election investigation is a sham and is nothing more than a coverup to run out the clock. We will see.

Recently, Rep. Ramthun released a series of press releases leading up to his ultimate plans of introducing a formal resolution to withdraw Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes.

Ramthun also discussed the fact that it was Speaker Vos who was behind the move to insert illegal drop boxes, not just in Wisconsin, but across the country in the 2020 election.

Voter GA held a press conference today at 10 am Eastern. During the conference, the VoterGA team released two bombshells that prove the 2020 Election in the state should never have been certified.

The first item involves the chain of custody documentation gathered and maintained during the 2020 Election. All ballots are to be accounted for with proper custody activities performed and documented. Documentation should be available for all ballots that come in the door.

(Remember, Biden was given the state by only a 12,000 vote margin.)

We have noted this for months in Georgia and now VoterGA provided proof that this is the case. We first reported a year ago that over 400,000 ballots in Georgia don’t have the proper evidence (chain of custody documentation) to show that the ballots entered the election process legitimately.

BREAKING: Corrupt Fulton County DA Ignores Election Fraud, Instead Calls for Grand Jury to Investigate President Trump

By Joe Hoft
Published January 20, 2022 at 1:25pm

While ignoring mounds of election fraud, criminal and operational issues involved in the 2020 Election, Fulton County Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis has requested that the local Fulton County Court Chief open a grand jury to look into actions by President Trump related to her county.

Al.com reports:

The Georgia prosecutor investigating possible attempts to interfere in the 2020 general election by former President Donald Trump and others has asked for a special grand jury to aid the investigation.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday sent a letter to Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Christopher Brasher asking him to impanel a special grand jury. She wrote in the letter that her office “has received information indicating a reasonable probability that the State of Georgia’s administration of elections in 2020, including the State’s election of the President of the United States, was subject to possible criminal disruptions.”

Willis’ office has tried to interview multiple witnesses and gather evidence, and some witnesses and prospective witnesses have refused to cooperate without a subpoena, she wrote. A special grand jury would have the power to subpoena witnesses.

Willis has declined to speak about the specifics of her investigation, but in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month she confirmed that its scope includes — but is not limited to — a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a November 2020 phone call between U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and Raffensperger, the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta on Jan. 4, 2021, and comments made during December 2020 Georgia legislative committee hearings on the election.

The release of this story and related actions by the local DA appear very suspicious. For example, the phone call that Willis is referring to has been debunked at length by The Gateway Pundit. What we found was the corrupt Secretary of State Raffensperger, who certified the obviously faulty results in the 2020 Election, was involved in a manipulated release of the call with the President.

Yesterday’s hearing built on those findings and presented more questions for the Wisconsin Elections Commission, which has failed to answer previous questions on the 2020 election.

“This hearing really was to respond to the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s response and really, what it showed is that their response was insufficient,” said OANN correspondent Christina Bobb.

Christina Bobb provided live updates via Twitter during the hearing.








Liz Harrington also shared a thread of clips from yesterday’s hearing.

Bobb joined Alicia Summers yesterday on One American News Network to break down the findings in yesterday’s hearing.

Summers: What can Wisconsin leaders or what will Wisconsin leaders do with his information now?

Bobb: I can’t wait to see because the information is coming out. It’s been over a year since the 2020 election, and it’s taken this long just to get access to some of that information. And now it’ll be interesting to see what they do with it. It’s kind of funny that one of the Democrat representatives on the committee said, oh, well, people should be prosecuted if, you know, if they register to vote illegally or if they cast an illegal ballot, they should be prosecuted. Well, okay, do an investigation and prosecute. What are you waiting for? So that was her response, and yet we have, you know, Republican districts attorney of Racine, the sheriff’s office in Racine, has referred criminal charges, saying that laws were broken and recommended that the district attorney prosecute, and yet the republican district attorney Patricia Hansen has for whatever reason chosen not to prosecute. So there seems to be a lot of politicking going on in Wisconsin right now about how they’re going to handle this problem. They have a lot of problems with their elections. So are they going to prosecute? Are they going to continue to investigate?

Are they going to pass legislation? These are all things that they’re working on right now, and I hope to see some solutions in the very near future.

The Gateway Pundit reported that the Racine County Sheriff, Christopher Schmaling, recommended charges for election fraud against the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

Judge Overturns Eatonville Election Due To ‘Illegal’ Votes
Martin WalshDecember 6, 2021
OPINION: This article contains commentary which reflects the author's opinion

Almost two years after Democrat Tarus Mack was certified the winner of an Eatonville Town Council election, a judge has ordered Mack to be removed from his position due to evidence uncovered by his opponent suggesting votes were illegally cast or procured.

“I was very ecstatic,” Marlin Daniels said, who filed the lawsuit challenging the election results.'

“Immediately I said, ‘Let’s get to work.’ We have to fix things that have been going wrong in this historic town and make things right, not for me, but for the people.”

“There were both illegal votes as well as fraudulent votes cast in this election. And for those familiar with local politics, that was not a surprise,” said Daniels’s attorney, Christian W. Waugh.

“Those votes have now been removed from the tally. And because of that, my client, Marlin Daniels, is now going to be a public servant for the Town of Eatonville.”

Click Orlando reported:

In March 2020, Eatonville voters went to the polls to decide whether Mack should retain his seat on the town council. After the voting results were tallied, it appeared Daniels had defeated the incumbent by a single vote.

But following a recount by the Orange County Canvassing Board, court records show two previously uncounted votes were discovered, giving Mack a 269-to-268 vote victory. Daniels filed a lawsuit in April 2020 contesting the election. Mack and the Orange County Canvassing Board were named as defendants.

Orange County Circuit Court Judge Kevin Weiss held a non-jury trial earlier this month, where several witnesses were called to testify. One of them, William Sheketoff, said he had been living in a motel owned by former Eatonville mayor Anthony Grant.

Sheketoff, who was behind on his rent payments and at risk for eviction, claims Grant offered to drive him and another tenant to a polling location on election day and coerced them to vote for Mack, according to an affidavit.

“[Grant] gave both of us ‘sample ballots’ with Tarus Mack and [another candidate] highlighted in yellow stating, ‘This is who I would like you to vote for” and drove us to Town Hall,” said Sheketoff. “I realized that he expected me to vote for Tarus Mack… or I would be evicted.”

The report continued:

About a week after the election, Sheketoff said Grant locked him out of his room at the motel but did not initiate a formal eviction. Grant declined to comment on the matter. When asked by a News 6 reporter if he denied Sheketoff’s allegations that he interfered in the election, Grant hung up the phone.

In 2017, a jury convicted Grant of felony voter fraud following allegations that he interfered in a prior Eatonville election. A judge sentenced Grant to probation. After hearing Sheketoff’s testimony in court, Judge Weiss concluded his vote was illegally procured.

“Debt forgiveness is a major thing of value – as is a place to live – for someone like Sheketoff who has nowhere to go,” Weiss wrote in his ruling. “Sheketoff was a credible witness, and the defendant offered no testimony to rebut his testimony.”

Using voter registration data, which shows which voters participated in an election but not how they voted, Daniels said he was able to identify who cast the two uncounted votes that were later added to the final tally during the recount.

Those two votes were in favor of Mack.

One of those voters voluntarily confirmed he voted for Mack, court records show.

The other, Bobby Taylor, testified in court that he never voted in the 2020 town council election.
By excluding Sheketoff’s vote and the vote cast under Taylor’s name, Daniels ultimately received one more vote than Mack.

“Daniels is therefore entitled to election to Seat 4 of the Eatonville Town Council,” wrote Judge Weiss. “Mack shall be, and hereby is, ousted from Seat 4 of the Eatonville Town Council.”

The January 6 Narrative is Starting to Unravel
By John Green

The Democrats and the propaganda ministry have tried to portray the events of January 6 as the greatest assault on democracy… in like, forever. But it seems like that narrative is starting to unravel. The unraveling began when many people began to suspect that the whole thing was a setup and started looking into it.

It wasn’t law enforcement or MSM journalists investigating -- they could be controlled. It was amateur citizen investigators using the power of the internet. Ah… the internet -- allowing average citizens to cross-reference and collate a limitless sea of information. Our Founders would approve.

Citizen investigators began to identify individuals who were clearly involved in inciting the riot on January 6. But a curious number of them had not been arrested by the FBI, even though their identity was well known. One such individual is Ray Epps. Epps is seen on video urging the crowd to enter the Capitol building. He lives in Arizona on a ranch and hasn’t been arrested. There are numerous others, just like him. The question became unavoidable: Did the federal government have involvement with January 6? We don’t know the answer to that question -- and that’s a problem for a constitutional republic.

As this curious information began to come to public attention, the FBI cover-up started. It removed Ray Epps from its “most wanted” list and released a report stating that there was no evidence of a coordinated attack on the Capitol -- even though they had been calling it a coordinated attack for months. Apparently, the bureau hoped the whole thing would fade into obscurity. But it didn’t. Merrick Garland and San Fran Nan wouldn’t let it.

The proud head of the police part of our police state couldn’t let it go. Garland was having too much fun playing with his new “fully operational death star” -- which has the Orwellian name “Department of Justice.” The only thing missing is a “Peoples” at the beginning of that name.

Unfortunately, Garland has bragged for months about his “shock and awe” campaign to bring insurrectionists to justice. The DoJ has had hundreds of citizens under arrest for months -- for the horrendous crimes of trespassing and taking selfies on Capitol grounds. What are prosecutors supposed to do? Go to the judge and say, “Oops! Our bad.” That’s not the way police states operate.

Merrick Garland isn’t the only one pushing the narrative beyond what the evidence supports.

San Fran Nan has kept the topic in the news as well. She is facing a midterm shellacking, looking down the barrel of a Trump return to politics, and needs a propaganda blunt object with which to beat on Republicans. Her solution was simple, elegant, and stupid.

• Appoint a committee to investigate something that didn’t happen -- the greatest assault on our democracy since Pearl Harbor -- or was it 9/11? I forget.
• Add a couple of useful idiot Republicans -- preferably of the #NeverTrump variety.
• Subpoena every Republican in the known universe.
• Provide creative leaks to the awaiting propaganda ministry. [Pelosi note to self: Don’t forget to add Adam Schiff to the committee.]

Voilà, a year’s worth of negative Trump news cycles. Maybe it could even be stretched to three years. But after a year of investigating an insurrection that the FBI said wasn’t an insurrection, the questions started to get a bit too inconvenient for San Fran Nan’s committee. So, she did what masters do. She jerked the leash hard, and her twin dogs barked. The committee released a statement defending Ray Epps, and the FBI arrested Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, and a number of his fellow travelers.

In August of 2021, the FBI said there was no evidence of a coordinated attack on the Capitol. Now, in January of 2022, the FBI is saying that Rhodes organized teams to conduct an armed paramilitary operation to prevent congressional certification of the vote. There’s just one problem: It never happened. Except for the activities of Ray Epps, who is no longer wanted by the FBI, there was no coordination at all of the mob at the Capitol. Stewart Rhodes was present, but he never entered the Capitol, and like the other Oath Keepers present, he was unarmed. In fact, the only firearms present in the Capitol on that day were those in the possession of the Capitol Police -- one of which was used to kill an unarmed protester.

The indictment of the Oath Keepers is not about what they did. It’s about what they wanted to do -- even though they didn’t do it. Crimes of intent are tricky things to prosecute. How can any man know what’s in another man’s heart and mind? Does the FBI have some evidence of his actual desire, or is Stewart Rhodes automatically guilty of wrong-think because he’s a patriotic (i.e., anti-government) conservative?

Maybe the FBI has gotten possession of incriminating emails. It’s possible that Rhodes (a Yale-trained lawyer) blasted out his insurrection plans with his Gmail account. Of course, the jury will also need to consider the FBI history of falsifying emails, such as it did to get warrants against Carter Page.

Maybe the FBI has witnesses that overheard the Oath Keepers’ plans. The bureau is well known for planting informants in organizations suspected of subversion. But whatever witnesses it has had better have more credibility than Andrew McCabe, Peter Stzrok, Kevin Clinesmith, or any of the three agents that have been removed from the Whitmer kidnapping witness list.

I’m not jumping to any conclusions about the Oath Keepers. Whatever evidence the FBI has, is going to need very close examination -- by an army of citizen investigators. Don’t underestimate their abilities. Doing so didn’t work out so well for Dan “Fake but Accurate” Rather.

Much to the FBI’s consternation, the January 6 investigation hasn’t faded, and the amateur investigations continue. The questions are getting more inconvenient by the nanosecond.

Now we have an attorney general and various FBI officials who can do little more than stammer, mutter the words “ongoing investigation,” and stare at the ceiling while being questioned by Congress. “Ongoing investigation” is starting to feel like the new “pleading the 5th.”

After the Republicans win the midterm elections, they should keep the January 6 committee in place -- but under new management. San Fran Nan’s committee set a few precedents that should be very useful. The minority party has no rights. Committee members are subject to the approval of the Speaker of the House. Executive privilege is a thing of the past. Any member of the opposing party is also fair game. The Republicans should subpoena Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and Nancy Pelosi. I’m dying to see how Granny Boxwine does under questioning from Ted Cruz. Watching Cackles Harris laugh nervously at every question should just about end her political future -- if she hasn’t already ended it herself. Heck, they should even subpoena the electronic devices of “Shifty” Schiff and “Bang-Bang the Fang Fang” Swalwell. I’m sure they have some interesting texts and emails about January 6 as well.

Congress's 1/6 Committee Claims Absolute Power as it Investigates Citizens With No Judicial Limits

Congress's 1/6 Committee Claims Absolute Power as it Investigates Citizens With No Judicial Limits

The Committee plotted with JPMorgan and its lawyer, former Obama AG Loretta Lynch, to obtain a citizen's financial records with no possibility of judicial review.

In its ongoing attempt to investigate and gather information about private U.S. citizens, the Congressional 1/6 Committee is claiming virtually absolute powers that not even the FBI or other law enforcement agencies enjoy. Indeed, lawyers for the committee have been explicitly arguing that nothing proscribes or limits their authority to obtain data regarding whichever citizens they target and, even more radically, that the checks imposed on the FBI (such as the requirement to obtain judicial authorization for secret subpoenas) do not apply to the committee.

As we have previously reported and as civil liberties groups have warned, there are serious constitutional doubts about the existence of the committee itself. Under the Constitution and McCarthy-era Supreme Court cases interpreting it, the power to investigate crimes lies with the executive branch, supervised by the judiciary, and not with Congress. Congress does have the power to conduct investigations, but that power is limited to two narrow categories: 1) when doing so is designed to assist in its law-making duties (e.g., directing executives of oil companies to testify when considering new environmental laws) and 2) in order to exert oversight over the executive branch.

What Congress is barred from doing, as two McCarthy-era Supreme Court cases ruled, is exactly what the 1/6 committee is now doing: conducting a separate, parallel criminal investigation in order to uncover political crimes committed by private citizens. Such powers are dangerous precisely because Congress’s investigative powers are not subject to the same safeguards as the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. And just as was true of the 1950s House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) that prompted those Supreme Court rulings, the 1/6 committee is not confining its invasive investigative activities to executive branch officials or even citizens who engaged in violence or other illegality on January 6, but instead is investigating anyone and everyone who exercised their Constitutional rights to express views about and organize protests over their belief that the 2020 presidential election contained fraud. Indeed, the committee's initial targets appear to be taken from the list of those who applied for protest permits in Washington: a perfectly legal, indeed constitutionally protected, act.

This abuse of power is not merely abstract. The Congressional 1/6 Committee has been secretly obtaining private information about American citizens en masse: telephone records, email logs, internet and browsing history, and banking transactions. And it has done so without any limitations or safeguards: no judicial oversight, no need for warrants, no legal limitations of any kind.

Indeed, the committee has been purposely attempting to prevent citizens who are the targets of their investigative orders to have any opportunity to contest the legality of this behavior in court. As we reported in October, the committee sent dozens if not hundreds of subpoenas to telecom companies demanding a wide range of email and other internet records, and — without any legal basis — requested that those companies not only turn over those documents but refrain from notifying their own customers of the request. If the companies were unwilling to comply with this "request,” then the committee requested that they either contact the committee directly or just disregard the request — in other words, the last thing they wanted was to enable one of their targets to learn that they were being investigated because that would enable them to seek a judicial ruling about the legality of the committee's actions.

But now the committee is escalating its aggressive investigative actions. They have begun sending subpoenas to private banks, demanding the banking records of private citizens, and doing so such that either the person never finds out or finds out too late to obtain a judicial order about the legality of the committee's behavior. In one case, they targeted JP Morgan with these subpoenas while knowing that that bank is being represented by former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch; Lynch — unsurprisingly — then directed her client not to accommodate any requests from its own customers to ensure they can seek judicial review.

On November 22, the 1/6 Committee served a subpoena on Taylor Budowich — a former spokesman for the Trump campaign who never worked for the U.S. Government — that requested a wide range of documents as well as his deposition testimony. On December 14, Budowich voluntarily complied by handing over a large amount of his personal records, and then, on December 22, he flew to Washington at his own expense and submitted to questioning. There is no suggestion that Budowich was engaged in any violence or other illegal acts at the Capitol on January 6. Their only interest in this private citizen is his connection to the Trump campaign and his stated view that he believed the 2020 election was marred by fraud.

After he furnished the committee with those documents and then testified, Budowich learned from others that the committee was issuing subpoenas directly to the banks used by other individuals for their personal accounts. He thus requested that his lawyer notify his own bank, JPMorgan Chase, that he would object to their cooperation with any subpoena without first providing notice to him so that he can have time to seek a legal ruling in court.

Typically, citizens learn when law enforcement agencies such as the FBI serve subpoenas to third-party providers such as banks or internet companies. That allows a crucial right: to contest the legality of the action in court before the documents are supplied. But when such a subpoena is concealed from the person, it prevents them from obtaining judicial review. In general, citizens learn of FBI subpoenas, and the FBI (with rare exceptions) has the power to impose a "gag order” or otherwise prevent the person from learning about it only if they first persuade a court that such an extreme measure is warranted (by arguing, for instance, that a terror suspect will flee or destroy evidence if they learn they are being investigated). That safeguard ensures that in most cases, a citizen has the right to seek judicial protection from an illegal act by an investigative body.

But the 1/6 Committee recognizes no right of any kind and no limits on its power. On November 23 — the day after it served a subpoena on Budowich himself — it served a subpoena on Budowich's bank, JPMorgan. The original date for the bank to produce the records was December 7, but JPMorgan — advised by Loretta Lynch as its legal counsel — bizarrely requested that the deadline be extended until December 24: the day before Christmas, knowing that courts would be closed that day and the next. It was only on December 21 — when Budowich was in Washington for his testimony before the committee — did JPMorgan send him notice at his home that it had received a subpoena and intended to produce the requested documents on December 24: just three days later. As JPMorgan and Lynch knew would happen, Budowich did not see the letter until he arrived home on the evening of December 22: less than forty-eight hours before the bank told him they were going to give up all of his financial records to the committee.

Upon discovering that the committee had subpoenaed his bank, Budowich's lawyers immediately advised JPMorgan that they had legal objections to the subpoena, and requested that — given it was about to be Christmas Eve and the courts would be closed — the bank seek an extension from the committee to enable Budowich to seek a judicial ruling. But the bank, advised by Loretta Lynch, refused — and told him they intended to turn the documents over on Christmas regardless of whether that gave him time to request judicial intervention. The bank even refused to provide a copy of the subpoena they received from the committee, which Budowich, to this very day, has not seen.

Budowich's lawyers did everything possible to seek judicial intervention before JPMorgan gave all his financial documents to the committee, but the timing agreed to by the committee, Lynch and the bank — documents produced on Christmas Eve, with notice to him arriving just a couple days before when he was testifying in Washington — made it impossible, by design. As a result, JPMorgan gave all of his banking records to the committee without even seeking an extension.

Budowich was therefore left with no alternative but to file an after-the-fact lawsuit against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the committee members, seeking an emergency injunction against the committee's use of his banking records. In response, both the committee and JPMorgan argued that the entire question was “moot” given that they already handed over the documents.

In other words, lawyers for the committee and Loretta Lynch created a plot whereby JPMorgan would notify Budowich of its intent to hand over the documents right before Christmas, so as to purposely deny him time to seek a court ruling, and then used the fact that he was "too late” in filing as a ground for arguing that the court should shut its doors to him and refuse to even give him a hearing. The court agreed that Budowich's request for an emergency injunction was “moot” given that the bank already supplied the documents, but agreed to rule on the merits of the arguments about whether the subpoena was legal.

The parties’ briefs on this question were submitted to an Obama-appointed federal judge, James Boasberg, in Washington. The oral argument on Budowich's request to enjoin the use of his banking records by the committee was held earlier on Thursday, and Judge Boasberg quickly rejected Budowich's objections to the subpoena. It will now be appealed to the Court of Appeals, but the issues presented by the committee's arguments are chilling.

At the hearing, the committee's lawyers essentially repeated the same argument they advanced in their legal brief: namely, that none of the legal safeguards imposed on the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to guard against abuse of power apply to this Congressional committee, which therefore enjoys virtually absolute power to do what it wants.

That is not an exaggerated summary of the committee's argument. The primary law on which Budowich is relying is The Right to Financial Privacy Act (“RFPA”), which prohibits any “financial institution, or officers, employees or agent of the financial institution” from "provid[ing] to any Government authority access to or copies of, or the information contained in, the financial records of any customer” unless they have first complied with the requirement of that law. Among the key requirements is that a “financial institution shall not release the financial records of a customer until the Government authority seeking such records certifies in writing to the financial institution that it has complied with the applicable provisions of this chapter.” As Budowich's lawyers argued, the key to the law is that a person whose financial records are sought must receive notice of that attempt and be given sufficient time to challenge it in court:

Both 12 U.S.C. §§ 3405 (administrative subpoena or summons) and 3408 (formal written request) require that a copy of the subpoena or request “have been served upon the customer or mailed to his last known address on or before the date on which the subpoena or summons was served on the financial institution” together with a formal statutory notice allowing ten (10) days from the date or service or fourteen (14) days from the date of mailing the required notice. See 12 U.S.C. §§ 3405, 3408. Additional provisions of RFPA establish the right of a financial institution customer to challenge a request for their financial records in an appropriate United States District Court, and that proceedings involving such challenges should be completed or decided within seven (7) calendar days of the filing of any Government response. See 12 U.S.C. § 3410(a)-(b).

The committee did not deny that it failed to meet these requirements. Obviously, they could not argue that, given that the plan they created with JPMorgan and its lawyer, Loretta Lynch, was designed to ensure that Budowich have no time to obtain a judicial ruling before his bank records were handed over. Instead, the committee's response is they do not have to comply with this law. “The Act restricts only agencies and departments of the United States, and the Select Committee is neither,” the committee's lawyer contended. In fact, they explicitly argued that these safeguards were meant to be imposed only on the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, but were intended to exempt Congress even when, as here, they are clearly engaged in investigating private citizens for potential crimes. “Multiple provisions of the statute underscore that Congress intended 'Government authority' to mean an executive branch agency or department,” the committee's lawyers wrote in an assertion of power breathtaking in its scope and limitlessness.

All of the other committee's arguments are similarly designed to bestow on itself absolute and unlimited power in how it investigates private citizens, and to insist that the judiciary is without power to impose limits on it. The committee insists, for instance, that it can investigate anyone it wants in connection with 1/6 even if its motive is not to enact new laws and even if the documents it seeks (Budowich's financial records) have no relationship to any proposed new laws. That is because, it says, “Congressional committees are not required to identify a specific piece of legislation in advance of conducting an investigation of the pertinent facts. It is sufficient that a committee’s investigation concerns a subject on which legislation 'could be had.'"

Such a principle, if accepted, would destroy any limits on Congress’s ability to investigate citizens (clearly, it was possible for the McCarthy-era Congressional investigations to lead to new laws even though, as the Supreme Court twice ruled when striking them down, that was clearly not its primary purpose). But Judge Boasberg nonetheless accepted the committee's argument on the ground that an appellate court had already ruled that the 1/6 Committee had a valid legislative purpose and he was therefore bound by that decision.

The committee's other arguments are even more extreme: namely, that “the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause provides absolute immunity to Members and committees when performing legislative acts" and that “sovereign immunity prohibits litigation against Congress to which it has not consented, and no such consent has been.” That would mean that the 1/6 Committee could literally do whatever it wanted to citizens, and no court would have the right even to review the legality or constitutionality of what it is doing let alone put a stop to it.

What happened during the first War on Terror — and so many other events that were perceived as traumatic — is instructive here. So many Americans were so horrified by the carnage of that day that, for years, many did not care or want to hear about legal niceties, constitutional limits or civil liberties regarding the government's actions. Anything the government did in the name of responding to or retaliating for 9/11 became inherently justified, and anyone who objected — no matter the principles cited — was deemed to be on the side of the terrorists.

The same dynamic is prevailing here. There are serious constitutional limits on the ability of Congress to investigate private citizens. It is blatantly abusive to scheme with JPMorgan and its counsel Loretta Lynch to ensure that a citizen has no time to seek judicial relief regarding the committee's attempt to obtain mounds of his personal and financial records. And, in general, the committee has been on a rampage targeting not only Trump officials or people who engaged in criminal behavior at the Capitol on January 6 but a wide group of citizens whose only crime appears to be their political beliefs and associations — exactly what the Supreme Court cited when striking down the excesses of Congress’s McCarthy-era probes of citizens.

But with the media overwhelmingly cheering anything done in the name of stopping the Trump movement and those who supported 1/6 in any way, all of these civil liberties concerns and constitutional protections are run roughshod over in the name of safety. The latest arguments from the Congressional 1/6 Committee amount to little more than an assertion of unfettered power for Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney and the rest of the committee members to dig into the lives of anyone they want without limits.

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) stated that President Joe Biden’s questioning of the legitimacy of the 2022 elections shows that Democrats are “the party of stolen election claims” and that Biden has “surrendered all credibility about election integrity.”

Raffensperger said, “Well, President Biden said what I’ve been saying out loud for several years now: The Democrat Party is the party of stolen election claims.”

He added, “Well, between being here last week in Georgia and then what he said yesterday, he’s surrendered all credibility about election integrity. And that’s what I’ve shown that I’ll do, I’ll stand for fair and honest elections here in Georgia, with the appropriate boundaries and accessibility with security.”

Trump says he authorized National Guard before Jan. 6, but Pelosi 'turned it down'

Former president said he wanted up to 20,000 guard members in D.C. on Jan. 6.

Trump says he authorized National Guard before Jan. 6, but Pelosi 'turned it down'
Former president said he wanted up to 20,000 guard members in D.C. on Jan. 6.

Updated: January 20, 2022 - 11:02pm

Former President Donald Trump said he authorized the National Guard in the lead-up to the Jan. 6, 2021 Stop the Steal rally in the nation's capital in anticipation of a large crowd, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) turned it down.

Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Trump during an interview Thursday evening if he authorized the use of the National Guard before Jan. 6.

"100%," Trump responded almost immediately, saying his claims were "attested to by many people."

Organizers estimated that 30,000 people would attend the rally, which ended with rioters breaking into the U.S. Capitol. More than 740 people have been arrested so far in connection to the event.

"They turned it down," Trump said. "Nancy Pelosi turned it down." Pelosi has been criticized for not allowing the National Guard to protect the U.S. Capitol.

The decision to request the Guard is technically made by the Capitol Police Board, which is composed of the architect of the Capitol and the House sergeant at arms, under the speaker of the House, and the Senate sergeant at arms, under the Senate majority leader, according to the Associated Press. It was only once the rally turned into a riot that the request was made. Pelosi's spokesperson said the speaker was unaware Trump had requested the Guard.

Trump told Hannity he initially wanted 10,000 Guard members before Kash Patel, chief of staff to the acting secretary of defense, recommended 20,000, to which Trump agreed.

"I wanted to have soldiers and/or National Guard, and Nancy Pelosi turned it down, and if she didn't turn it down, you would not have had any problem," Trump said.

Hannity concluded his interview with Trump by asking if the former President would run again in 2024.

"I think you'll be very happy," Trump replied, but said he will "announce at a later date."

The House Jan. 6 committee investigating the U.S. Capitol breach requested Hannity to sit for an interview earlier this month. The Fox host has been highly critical of the committee since its formation.

In The Next 24 Hours, Massive Corruption Will Be Exposed

• January 20, 2022

The family of former National Security Advisor Gen. Michael Flynn has issued a fiery statement in response to a report that the University of Rhode Island’s new president has recommended that the institution revoke an honorary degree conferred upon the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, calling the move “corrupt.”

Given that URI President Marc Parlange has held his position only since August, he apparently believes that revoking this honorary degree and one conferred upon former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 2003 are top priorities for the school.

The committee overseeing URI’s honorary degrees voted on Dec. 10 to revoke both degrees “based on their findings that General Flynn and Mayor Giuliani no longer represent the highest level of our values and standards that were evident when we first bestowed the degree,” according to a letter to the school’s board of trustees cited by The Providence Journal.

“As a civic institution, URI has the privilege and responsibility to sustain and preserve American democracy by insuring and modeling good citizenship,” Parlange’s letter claimed, according to The Journal. “Revoking these honorary degrees reinforces our values and allows us to lead with truth and integrity.”

“This is another example of cancel culture and ‘wokeness’ in our academic institutions,” Flynn told The Western Journal in exclusive comments. “And I know there is a concerted effort to attack me from certain elements on the Left, mainly because of my very visible stance fighting back against the socialist takeover of our country.”

“It will get national attention in the next 24 hours,” he predicted.

A statement from the Flynn family described Parlange’s recommendation to revoke the honorary degree as “a cowardly and corrupt attempt to discredit our brother, Lt. General Michael T. Flynn, USA (Ret.) and his life’s mission and work, without cause.”

“With this flawed and crooked action, URI endorses the destructive and tyrannical cancel culture, bowing down to the woke mob and repressive forces, while revealing itself to lack the intellectual capacity, fortitude or integrity that is required of an American public university in the 21st century,” the statement said.

“Astoundingly, URI’s new President Mr. Marc Parlange distorts the facts and adopts lies and gossip spread for years in connection with the, now confirmed, framing of General Flynn,” the family argued in their statement. “Mr. Parlange’s recommendation to revoke General Flynn’s honorary degree lacks moral courage, prioritizes pettiness over principles, and sets an unsavory, disturbing precedent.”

“This saga has been festering for a year,” Flynn told The Western Journal. “My family has had enough.”

URI the Doctor of Humane Letters Honoris Causa upon Gen. Flynn in 2014, The Providence Journal reported.

The Flynn family’s full statement appears below:

Today, our family learned the University of Rhode Island plans to disguise itself under a veil of false righteousness and turn its back on an American hero in a cowardly and corrupt attempt to discredit our brother, Lt. General Michael T. Flynn, USA (Ret.) and his life’s mission and work, without cause. If URI’s Board of Trustees gutlessly vote to revoke General Flynn’s honorary degree at their meeting Friday, January 21, 2022, the University will fail to stand for honor, truth, justice and morality, but instead, will smear its own reputation and dishonor its community, the State of Rhode Island, and General Flynn’s mother along with 10 of his siblings, nieces, and nephews who all graduated from the University. The blatant hypocrisy arising out of the Board’s expected decision to revoke General Flynn’s honorary degree smacks in the face of the core principles of this Country and the stated mission of the University, itself. With this flawed and crooked action, URI endorses the destructive and tyrannical cancel culture, bowing down to the woke mob and repressive forces, while revealing itself to lack the intellectual capacity, fortitude or integrity that is required of an American public university in the 21st century.

General Flynn has dedicated his life to protect and preserve the United States of America and the freedoms and liberties enjoyed by all citizens of this great country, including those associated with the University of Rhode Island. His unwavering love for God and Country – above all else – is the torch of light that he carried through decades of public service to America as a U.S. Army soldier and military leader of tens of thousands of young men and women in battlefields around the world. For General Flynn, that bright light of freedom, liberty and equal justice for all will never dim and he will never be deterred. Never will he stop fearlessly fighting for the Republic and for every individual’s rights and liberty bestowed on American citizens by the Grace of God Almighty.

For our nation to survive the deep-seated remarkable corruption exposed over the last several years, including the four-year political persecution of General Flynn as a means “to get Trump,” will take new leaders and brave Americans to courageously stand up to the controlling forces of evil, intent upon destroying this great nation. When an injustice to one person occurs in America, it happens to all citizens.

But America is awakened. She will no longer tolerate election fraud, media propagandists who acquiesce to their puppeteers, nor the fraudulent, treacherous rhetoric cloaked as wokeness. Those days are over. This moment in time demands more from all of us. The Flynn Family and General Flynn are still on the field and will continue to fight for America with all our might to ensure that all citizens enjoy their God-given rights to freedom, liberty, and equal justice under the law without fear of retaliation.

Astoundingly, URI’s new President Mr. Marc Parlange distorts the facts and adopts lies and gossip spread for years in connection with the, now confirmed, framing of General Flynn. Mr. Parlange’s recommendation to revoke General Flynn’s honorary degree lacks moral courage, prioritizes pettiness over principles, and sets an unsavory, disturbing precedent.

In fact, former U.S. DOJ Attorney General William Barr, in his May 2020 interview with CBS News Correspondent Catherine Herridge, verified the DOJ decision to dismiss the false charge against General Flynn was “to undo an injustice.” He further revealed the so-called January 24, 2017, interview of General Flynn by now disgraced FBI agents had “no legitimate basis” and was orchestrated as a “perjury trap” of General Flynn.

Furthermore, in September 2020, FBI Special Agent William J. Barnett testified – under oath – in an interview arising out of the DOJ’s independent investigation, led by USAO-EDMO Jeffery Jensen, into the truth behind, and the facts of, the General’s case, that he believed the prosecution of Flynn was used as a means to “get TRUMP.” (FBI William Barnett 302)

URI is without redemption to the Flynn Family and all others who seek right over wrong and truth over lies.

The family’s statement was sent Thursday to the board of trustees, who confirmed its receipt to the family, according to Flynn.

The trustees were scheduled to vote on the matter Friday, according to The Providence Journal.
