excerpt:

"Jones and his Infowars website’s parent company were found to have “intentionally disobeyed” the court by not turning over documents in such lawsuits. The ruling is what’s known as a “death penalty sanction,” which is highly unusual. The penalty is expected to be determined either by a hearing or a jury.

Penalties have also increased in recent months for pro-Trump lawyers who launched ill-fated and specious claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and other lawyers were also ordered to pay the other side’s legal fees by a federal judge in Michigan — the requested amount is $204,000 — and could face other disciplinary measures too. The judge said the lawsuit they brought never bothered with the facts but instead “was about undermining the people’s faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so.”

Giuliani and Powell have also been joined by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, Fox News and other conservative outlets in being sued over claims that voting machines changed votes in 2020 — lawsuits that could be the most significant of all if successful, given how many pushed them and the ability to define damages."

 

Case in point:


U.S. Capitol riot suspect from Mahopac, New York, arrested

excerpt:

"A Mahopac man was arrested on Thursday on charges that he participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Anthony Vuksanaj's alleged crimes in Washington, D.C., were revealed after he was arrested in an unrelated robbery case in Westchester County in June, which allowed authorities to see that his cellphone had been present at the Capitol during the riot, court records show.

The FBI took the 52-year-old into custody in Mahopac, a hamlet in the town of Carmel, and he appeared in White Plains federal court on Thursday.

Vuksanaj faces charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Washington, D.C."

'the capital (sic) is ours!': Feds recommend house arrest and probation for Capitol riot defendant from SA

excerpt:

"The Justice Department is recommending that a San Antonio loan officer who illegally entered the Capitol with other Trump supporters do no jail time and pay a small portion in restitution of the more than $1.5 million in damages caused by the Jan. 6 riot.

Matthew Carl Mazzocco, 37, wearing a body-worn videocamera, took photos with his phone of people scaling walls and breaching doors as if he was “on vacation,” entered one of the breached doors, fist-bumped police officers, and spent 12 minutes inside taking selfies, then posted them to his Facebook page, proudly proclaiming “the capital (sic) is ours!” federal prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum."

 

'Made up the numbers': Experts find Arizona's 'hoax' audit was even worse than it looked

'Made up the numbers': Experts find Arizona's 'hoax' audit was even worse than it looked

excerpt:

"Wines and Nick Corasaniti add, "But a worksheet containing the results of the hand count of 40 of those boxes was included in a final report on the election inquiry released a week ago by Cyber Ninjas, the Florida company hired to conduct the inquiry."

The three election experts who scrutinized Cyber Ninjas' audit are Benny White, a data analyst for the Arizona GOP; Larry Moore, founder of the election consulting Clear Ballot Group; and Tim Halvorsen, the Clear Ballot Group's former chief technology officer.

In their scathing report, the experts slammed Cyber Ninjas for having "zero experience in election audits" and said, "We believe the Ninjas' announcement that they had confirmed, to a high degree of accuracy, the election results of the second-largest county in the country is laughable."

"The Ninjas made up the numbers," the report said, calling it a "hoax."

It explained: "An enormous discrepancy of 15,692 missing hand counted ballots from 40 boxes out of out of 1,634, supports our opinion that the Ninja's hand count of ballots was so far off the Senate's machine count of ballots that any statements about the vote counts (e.g., that Trump lost 261 votes) are meaningless.""

 

AZ election audit will continue.

excerpt:

"Arizona taxpayers will also be picking up more bills for an election review that has cost them at least $3.5 million, according to Senate and county documents, as well as news reports.

The total cost of the review is more than $10.5 million, when adding in fund-raising by Trump allies that was reported by Cyber Ninjas in July. The donors to those Trump-linked groups haven’t been disclosed.

Experts: Findings reflect lack of knowledge

The five-month election review was largely run and financed by individuals and organizations that have promoted, without any evidence, the lie that last November’s presidential vote in Arizona was stolen from President Donald Trump.

According to elections experts, the findings released Friday reflect a lack of understanding about how Maricopa County elections are run.

None of the contractors working on the election review, including lead contractor Logan, had ever handled an election review before."

 

The AZ routers will be investigated.

Truther narratives say that votes may have been switched from Trump to Biden via Italian satellites or actions related to the deceased Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

Trump referred to the AZ routers numerous times at one of his rallies, as if they would reveal fraud, but he didn't provide any details.

excerpt:

"Remember the routers?

Two weeks ago, Maricopa County cut a deal with Senate Republicans that ended a standoff over the GOP demand for access to the county’s computer network routers.

The routers were the subject of intense speculation by election conspiracy theorists. They believed an examination of the routers would confirm that outside entities somehow gained access to the county’s computer system.

Under the deal, former Republican Congressman John Shadegg was named a “special master” to oversee independent computer experts, who will answer Senate Republicans' questions about the routers.

It’s unclear when this work will begin or how much it will cost taxpayers.

The county has agreed to pay for the router exam. As of late last week, according to a county spokesman, a contract with Shadegg detailing the cost of the work had not been signed.

Ed Novak, of the law firm Polsinelli, helped negotiate the deal with the Senate GOP, 12 News has learned. Shadegg formerly worked at Polsinelli."

 

A squandering of Maricopa County taxpayer money.

 

GOP infighting.

Trump has a knack for creating these types of situations. He did it again in AZ.


Now that the Arizona audit is officially over, what happens next? | 12news.com

excerpt:

"The election review gave us a preview of the intraparty battle among Republicans that could play out heading into the 2022 elections.

Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates, a lifelong Republican, has emerged as the leading voice among a very small number of GOP elected officials who have publicly taken on the promoters of election lies.

Before the findings were released Friday, Gates tweeted his support for board colleague Clint Hickman’s call for GOP Chair Ward to step down."

 

So, let me get this straight... The hoax was actually a hoax... Right?

 

I really don’t know what the hell is going on anymore and I’m about sick of all of this

 

Cyber Ninjas could potentially be held liable for fraud if it falsified or fudged its count of an election that its leader alleged was fraudulent.

It's not known how Cyber Ninjas will respond to the court order to turn over documents pertaining to its audit that the court deemed to be public records even though it's a third-party company.

 

When the AZ router audit (at taxpayer expense) fails, the pro-Trump truthers will move the goal posts again and point to one place after another where fraud is supposedly hiding. By that time, the 2022 election will be approaching.

 

Funeral parlors are big business, serious business, and mass graves require heavy equipment.

 

Fuck the courts, they're the ones who are giving most of these assholes a slap on the wrist, and the ones who insisted on supporting all these assholes. If they're suddenly changing their minds and deciding to actually declare white collar crime illegal, Wall Street will lower the price of their stocks. The supreme court could get blown up, and the only ones who would care are conservatives and Wall Street. When the assholes give us back our constitutional rights and judges who don't believe white people and the wealthy are more important than our government, then I'll pay attention to their fucking family feuds with Wall Street and the KKK.

Rudy Giuliani Is (Probably) Screwed

excerpt:

"On top of that, his law license was suspended in New York and Washington, D.C., after he repeatedly lied to courts and in public statements to help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election results with baseless charges of widespread fraud. He is reportedly “aghast” that Trump has declined to help him out financially, despite the fact that Giuliani, as Trump’s onetime personal lawyer, had been his fiercest henchman. Giuliani has gotten so desperate that his allies launched a Rudy Giuliani Freedom Fund, replete with an endorsement from tarnished lawyer Alan Dershowitz, that blasts “deep state” forces for Giuliani’s legal morass.

Giuliani is being treated, by all appearances, as a dead man walking. America’s Mayor, as he was once known, has been abandoned by his most powerful friend. He has lost his megaphone at Fox News and is now going around with a begging bowl for money. And at the center of Giuliani’s legal troubles is a web of overlapping federal investigations, including a criminal probe focusing on him personally, which some experts say could force him to yield to prosecutors in a case that may implicate the former president."
