The Donald Trump Score Card

Damning text messages reveal plot to give pro-Trump supporters access to Georgia's voting machines: report

excerpt:

"According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, texts obtained by the website between a former Georgia Republican county chair and an election board member revealed they were plotting to allow pro-Donald Trump outsiders access to the county's election computers.

As the report reveals, those text messages were flying back and forth on Jan 6th as the Capitol in Washington D.C. was under siege to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election that saw Trump lose re-election.

As Pagliery notes, the Washington Post has reported that "the Secretary of State’s office was investigating the matter. But the previously unreported text messages shed new light on who arranged the possibly illegal access to the computer and who was on the team that traveled south to do it."

According to the new Beast report, "The text messages acquired by The Daily Beast show two separate conversations in which former Coffee County GOP chair Cathy Latham and elections board member Eric Chaney lay out a plan to bring in a team of computer experts to access the computer voting system. The Daily Beast has verified that the conversations were real and remain stored on an iPhone."

"At 4:26 p.m. on Jan. 6, 2021, as the Capitol building in Washington was under attack, another plan was in the works 607 miles away in the small town of Douglas, Georgia," Pagliery wrote. "Chaney, the elections board member, received word that the county GOP chair was on the phone with an Atlanta businessman who wanted access to the voting system computers there."

Misty Hampton, then the Coffee County elections supervisor, reportedly texted, "Scott Hall is on the phone with Cathy about wanting to come scan our ballots from the general election like we talked about the other day. I am going to call you in a few.”

Adding, "The next morning, the operation was underway. Text messages show that a group of five people traveled south from Atlanta to the government elections offices in Douglas. According to the texts, the team was led by Paul Maggio, an executive at a computer forensics and data storage company in the city," the Beast reports another text message stating, "Team left Atlanta at 8… 5 members led by Paul Maggio… Scott is flying in,” later followed by, "Scott has landed and the rest of team is almost to Douglas.”

According to the report, "Hall and the team made their way to the windowless Elections and Registration building. Hampton would later tell The Daily Beast that Chaney and Latham were there, and she recalled telling her junior assistant, Jil Riddlehoover, to stay quiet," adding, "The team’s work wrapped up later that afternoon. Flight records show that the propeller plane left the tiny airport at 5:16 p.m. When Hampton reached out to Chaney that evening, he directed her to take the communications to an encrypted app with disappearing messages."

The report notes that Trump's team later "named Coffee County in a draft executive order dated Dec. 16, 2020, that would have authorized the nation’s defense secretary to 'seize, collect, retain and analyze' election equipment.""

 

Texts Reveal GOP Mission to Breach Voting Machine in Georgia

excerpt:

"DOUGLAS, GEORGIA—The Georgia Secretary of State claims it is investigating how a local election supervisor gave a cadre of 2020 election truthers improper access to an election computer system, in what initially seemed like the latest example of rogue actors misusing their government positions to cast doubt on President Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump.

But that investigation may expose a far more sinister plot than previously suspected.

According to text messages obtained by The Daily Beast, the covert access granted to Atlanta bail bondsman Scott Hall and his technical team was actually part of a coordinated effort to find election irregularities. And the effort, it turns out, was led by a local elections official and the chair of the rural county’s Republican Party—who was also one of former President Donald Trump’s infamous slate of fake electors."

Dr. Oz says he'll fight to end illegal immigration. A business owned by his family, in which he is a shareholder, faced the largest fine in ICE history for hiring undocumented workers.

excerpt:

"The company, which has donated $12,000 to Oz's Senate campaign, was sentenced to pay forfeiture in the amount of $80 million dollars and an additional $15 million dollars "to satisfy civil claims arising out of their failure to comply with immigration law," an amount which represented the largest payment ever levied in an immigration case."

 

Taking Aim at DeSantis, Spooked Trump Considers Launching 2024 Bid in Florida

excerpt:

"Donald Trump in recent months has been telling confidants that he may launch his 2024 presidential campaign early — and that he’s considering launching it in Florida to stick it to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Trump has kicked around staging a large, flashy launch rally (with fireworks, of course) that would announce his White House bid before the 2022 midterm elections, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

People who’ve spoken to Trump say that one reason he’s eying the Sunshine State is to assert his dominance over an ascendant DeSantis, who — if they both run in 2024 — would likely be the former president’s most formidable competitor in a primary fight for the GOP nomination. One of the sources said Trump’s motivation is to show the governor “who the boss is” in the modern-day GOP.

Trump, the sources say, has even asked some associates if they had opinions on any good venues or event spaces — that just happen to be located close to the Florida’s Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee."

 

From Crackhead to CEO to Whack-a-doodle.

 

And the shit-show continues…..

 

I'm just sad for America.....

 

Watching Former Attorney General Bill Barr laugh his ass off during the hearing about “2,000 mules” being mentioned - that had me rolling, LOL!

 

Bill Barr Cracks Up at Voter Fraud Allegations in 2000 Mules

excerpt:

"Former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr featured prominently during Monday’s Jan. 6 House Select Committee hearings and recalled his interactions with then-President Donald Trump regarding the voter fraud claims that fueled the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Barr also discussed more recent debunked claims of voter fraud in 2020, like Dinesh D’Souza’s conspiracy theory movie 2000 Mules, which elicited a hearty laugh from Barr.

“When I walked in, sat down, he went off on a monologue saying that there was now definitive evidence involving fraud through the Dominion machines and a report had been prepared by a very reputable cybersecurity firm, Allied Security Operations Group, and held up the report,” Barr said of his first meeting with Trump following the 2020 presidential election.

“And he asked that a copy of it be made for me. And while a copy was being made, he said this is absolute proof that the Dominion machines were rigged,” Barr said during his deposition, which was replayed during Monday’s hearing.

“‘The report means that I’m going to have a second term,’” Barr recalled Trump saying. “And then he gave me a copy of the report and as he talked more and more about it, I sat there flipping through the report and looking through it. And to be frank, it looked very amateurish I shall to me.”

“And I was somewhat demoralized because I thought if he really believes this stuff, he has lost contact with — he has become detached from reality if he really believes this stuff,” Barr continued, speaking about Trump’s ongoing belief in voter fraud."

 

Bill Barr Cracks Up at Voter Fraud Allegations in 2000 Mules

excerpt:

"The other thing that people don’t understand is that it’s not clear that even if you can show harvesting, that that changes the results of the election. The courts are not going to throw out votes and then figure out what votes were harvested.

The burden on the challenging party to show that illegal votes were cast. Votes were the result of undue influence or bribes or there was really, you know, the person was — absent that evidence, I just didn’t see courts throwing out votes anyway. I felt that before the election it was possible to talk sense to the president and while you sometimes had to engage in a big wrestling match with him, it was possible to keep things on track."

 

Had he EVER been attached to reality ? I mean, beyond reality TV.

 

Bill Barr Cracks Up at Voter Fraud Allegations in 2000 Mules

excerpt:

“But I felt that after the election, he didn’t seem to be listening and I didn’t think it was — I was inclined not to stay around if he wasn’t listening to advice from me or his other cabinet secretaries,” Barr concluded, referring to his resignation from the Trump administration.

 

That would truly be something to watch with the two Republicans attacking each other daily while Democrats sit back and let them go at it while the Dems make plans for 2024 Election Day.

PICTURE THIS: If DeSantis wins the GOP primary and becomes the Republican nominee to run for POTUS, does anyone really believe that Trump wouldn't stir up his followers to vote for him as a 'write-in' candidate in the general election? And due to 'allegiance' of his followers, millions of 'em would vote for him, blissfully unaware that they would only be taking votes away from DeSantis and practically guarantee a Democratic win for the presidency.

Then again, even if Trump beats out DeSantis and wins the nomination and the election, how long after Trump's second term begins do you think it would take him to launch a "President For Life" movement that would keep him in office until he dies? This way, he wouldn't have to bother with silly exercises like running for president in the future! Of course, his supporters would be all in favor of this.

I mean, who needs this 'democracy' garbage, anyhow?

 

trump's problem is that he felt like he didn't have to answer to anybody when he ran his businesses. When you work for the government, it's a little different, and something he didn't like.

 

Eastman concocted pro-rated schemes to erase enough Biden votes relative to Trump to make Trump the 'winner' in PA.


Eastman The Mathematician: MAGA Lawyer Advised Lawmaker To Make Up Formula To Throw Out Biden Votes

excerpt:

"In the Dec. 4 exchange, Eastman floated another option that had to do with verification: Why not just apply the “historical rejection rate” for ballots and then “discount each candidates’ totals by a prorated amount based on the absentee percentage those candidates otherwise received.”

That, Eastman pointed out, would leave Trump with a lead in the state, therefore “bolster[ing] the argument for the Legislature adopting a slate of Trump electors — perfectly within your authority to do anyway, but now bolstered by the untainted popular vote.”"

 

Eastman The Mathematician: MAGA Lawyer Advised Lawmaker To Make Up Formula To Throw Out Biden Votes

excerpt:

"Eastman added that Diamond should add a section to the resolution that included “factual findings,” based in part on hearings held before the Pennsylvania state legislature the week before. (Trump himself appeared at that hearing via his attorney’s cell phone, which was held up to the mic for state legislators to hear. The President proceeded to complain that nobody would “overturn” the election for him.)

Eastman went on to articulate a series of claims that the legislators could make to do just that: why not just “pro-rate” the vote totals, ignoring a subset of mail-in ballots?

“For example, depending on how many ballots were counted that were received after the statutory deadline (say 10,000 for example’s purpose), those 10,000 votes need to be discarded, and you can take the absentee ballot ratio for each candidate in the counties were late-received ballots were illegally counted and deduct the pro-rated amount from each candidate’s total,” Eastman wrote."

 

Trump had Eastman and Mastriano trying to convince Diamond (a PA state representative) to overturn the PA election based in part on a pro-rated vote counting scheme concocted by Eastman.

Trump tried to overturn the GA outright by pressuring GA secretary of state Raffensperger directly.

In AZ, state GOP chairperson Kelli Ward and state representative Finchem were behind the slate of fake electors for Trump.

Overturning those three states would have made Trump the 'winner'.

Mastriano is a state senator from PA and won the GOP 2022 PA state primary for governor.

Finchem is running in 2022 for AZ secretary of state.

 

Mastriano hires former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis.

Trump Scammed Supporters Out of $250 Million for Nonexistent Fraud Fund

excerpt:

“Not only was there the Big Lie, there was the Big Ripoff,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) near the end of the Jan. 6 committee’s second hearing in laying out how the Trump campaign scammed money from supporters over false claims of election fraud.

The Trump campaign sent “millions” of emails to Trump supporters about how they needed to “step up” to protect election integrity, according to the Jan. 6 committee. The money would go to the so-called the “Official Election Defense Fund” — which doesn’t appear to have actually existed, according to testimony.

The fund — which, again, did not actually exist — raised $250 million, most of which did not go to election litigation, but to Trump’s newly created Save America PAC. The PAC then made contributions to Mark Meadows’ charity, to a conservative organization employing former Trump staffers, to the Trump Hotel Collection, and to the company that organized the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol last Jan. 6.

The Select Committee discovered no such fund existed." #January6th pic.twitter.com/tDXYCt604s

“The evidence developed by the select committee highlights how the Trump campaign aggressively pushed false election claims to fundraise, telling supporters it would be used to fight voter fraud that did not exist,” said Amanda Wick, a lawyer for the Jan. 6 committee. “The emails continued through Jan. 6, even as Trump spoke on the Ellipse. Thirty minutes after the last fundraising email was sent, the Capitol was breached.”

 

Russian state media frustrated about televised January 6 public hearings.


Team Putin in a Panic Over Jan. 6 Hearings ‘Lynching Trump’

excerpt:

"The House select committee’s primetime Jan. 6. hearings are causing conniptions in Moscow.

The attempted insurrection was embraced by the Kremlin as cause célèbre, with Russian President Vladimir Putin himself calling for an investigation into the death of Ashli Babbitt, who was part of the crowd attacking the U.S. Capitol. Russia’s state-controlled media obsessively covered the notorious attack, praising the would-be insurrectionists as law-abiding protesters and criticizing the United States for prosecuting them. But now, propagandists seem to be concerned that the hearings may negatively impact the chances of re-election for their so-called “partner,” former U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

Kremlin-controlled state media has been relishing the faltering popularity ratings of President Biden, describing Trump as a shoo-in for re-election and openly hoping that a Republican takeover in the midterms would spell a change in America’s foreign policy towards Ukraine. The Jan. 6 committee hearings seem to be a fly in the ointment and now Putin’s propagandists are no longer certain of what the future elections might hold."
