Gableman is still at it in Wisconsin. He was on Bannon's podcast pleading with Trump supporters to keep his 'audit' going. He's been receiving $11,000 per month of taxpayer money from Vos. “It’s Performance Art”: Inside Republicans’ Absolutely Wild, Ongoing Campaign to Decertify Biden’s Win excerpt: "It’s been nearly a year and a half since the 2020 election. No one has produced any real evidence of the fraud Donald Trump insists plagued the process. And while the special counsel who has spent months and more than half a million taxpayer dollars on an “audit” of the results in Wisconsin has suggested Joe Biden’s victory in the state should be decertified, neither the Republican lawmaker who commissioned the election review nor the special counsel’s own attorney believes that is possible. And yet, Michael Gableman’s absurd inquiry into the 2020 election continues—alarming Democrats, election officials, and democracy advocates, who say Republicans are using the probe to create a veneer of legitimacy around Trump’s voter-fraud lies and to chip away at democratic institutions ahead of the 2022 midterms. “All the attacks on the free and fair election of 2020 are laying the groundwork for attacks on the 2022 and 2024 elections,” says Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. “We’re seeing attacks on the core bedrock of democracy at every level in the state.”"
Gableman has spent $675,000 of taxpayer money on his 'audit' which has produced nothing. Vos is giving him more money beyond April to help finance his court battles. Gableman visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago a few days ago to see the screening of a 'documentary' film about the supposed stolen 2020 election.
Trump pressured Vos in summer 2021 to start an audit in WI. Gableman, a retired Wisconsin supreme court judge, was assigned to lead the effort. Recounts show Trump lost a legitimate election in WI in 2020 by 21,000 votes.
Republican city council member arrested and jailed for voter fraud in Indiana excerpt: "An Indiana city council member has been arrested and charged with two counts of voting outside precinct and one count each of theft, perjury, and official misconduct, WISH-TV reports. Brian Young, a Republican on the Pulaski County Council, listed the address on his voter registration back in 2004 as 959 W. County Road 700 North in Winamac, which is located in the district he represents, but he has not changed his address since then. Police suspected that Young actually lived at a different residence outside of his district with his girlfriend and their daughter, with the residence listed on his voter registration being where his parents live. Young claimed to the court that he sometimes stays with his girlfriend because she has multiple sclerosis and that he had already cleared the situation with the Republican county chairman, the current Pulaski County clerk, and a previous county clerk. But previous and current county chairmen say they didn't approve him to run for his position. Police ultimately determined Young does not live at the address on his voter registration and instead lives outside of the district he represents and used that address to vote in multiple primary and general elections outside of the precinct where he resided. He was booked into the Pulaski County Jail on Tuesday and was released after posting bond."
The pro-Trump Donald Kirk of Nevada was just as bad or worse. He claimed someone stole his deceased wife's ballot and voted with it. He made it sound like it was proof of Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud (by Democrats). Kirk was arrested and said he couldn't wait for the trial where he could tell his side of the story. He pleaded guilty to voter fraud before the trial started. Nevada man who claimed someone voted as his dead wife charged with voter fraud
CNN Exclusive: 'We control them all': Donald Trump Jr. texted Meadows detailed plan for overturning 2020 election before it was called - CNNPolitics excerpt: "Two days after the 2020 presidential election, as votes were still being tallied, Donald Trump’s eldest son texted then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows that “we have operational control” to ensure his father would get a second term, with Republican majorities in the US Senate and swing state legislatures, CNN has learned. In the text, which has not been previously reported, Donald Trump Jr. lays out ideas for keeping his father in power by subverting the Electoral College process, according to the message reviewed by CNN. The text is among records obtained by the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021. “It’s very simple,” Trump Jr. texted to Meadows on November 5, adding laterin the same missive: “We have multiple paths We control them all.” In a statement to CNN, Trump Jr.’s lawyer Alan S. Futerfas said, “After the election, Don received numerous messages from supporters and others. Given the date, this message likely originated from someone else and was forwarded.” The November 5 text message outlines a strategy that is nearly identical to what allies of the former President attempted to carry out in the months that followed. Trump Jr. makes specific reference to filing lawsuits and advocating recounts to prevent certain swing states from certifying their results, as well as having a handful of Republican state houses put forward slates of fake “Trump electors.” If all that failed, according to the Trump Jr. text, GOP lawmakers in Congress could simply vote to reinstall Trump as President on January 6. “We have operational control Total leverage,” the message reads. “Moral High Ground POTUS must start 2nd term now.”"
https://thehill.com/news/house/3262224-gop-no-votes-on-russia-measures-prompt-pro-putin-accusations/ excerpt: "A handful of House Republicans have been voting against bills aimed at holding Russia accountable for its invasion of Ukraine, giving Democrats an avenue to accuse the GOP of harboring a faction that is sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Six Republicans on Wednesday opposed a bill directing the government to collect evidence “related to war crimes and other atrocities committed during the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.” Every other member of the House present voted “yes.” The six Republicans who voted “no” were Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Scott Perry (Pa.)."
Is Trump's hold on the GOP waning? We’re about to find out. excerpt: "Starting next month, in states from Georgia and North Carolina to Arizona and Alaska, former President Donald Trump will see his influence tested in a series of high-stakes GOP primaries. Trump has placed himself in the middle of a wide range of races in which his chosen candidates have struggled or where he is at sharp odds with other prominent Republican voices -- including former Cabinet members, close aides and potential rivals who hope bad calls by Trump prove a point. "Trump is trying to insert himself in races all across the country where people he's supporting are crazy," Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, told ABC News."
Wisconsin governor vetoes Republican election bills. Wisconsin governor vetoes Republican election bills excerpt: "Wisconsin's Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who is up for reelection in November, on Friday vetoed a package of bills passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature that would have made a series of changes to the battleground state's election laws. Republicans who fast-tracked the bills don't have the votes to override his vetoes. The bills are part of a nationwide Republican effort to reshape elections following President Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump. The bills were quickly passed earlier this year amid Trump's insistence that the 2020 election was stolen from him and that there was widespread fraud, despite no evidence to back up his claims. Courts, recounts, independent audits and partisan reviews have all upheld President Joe Biden's nearly 21,000-vote victory. In vetoing the eight bills, Evers told lawmakers, "The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy; it should not be subject to the whim of politicians who do not like the outcome of an election.""
I just sent an E-mail to Merrick Garland. TO wit: What the hell Mr Garland. Why aren't you prosecuting those that tried to overthrow our democratic goverment? Are you a republican or just a coward? I'm 82 years old and I've never seen the likes of what is happening to our democratic system!! The anti-American republicans have shown that they don't care a whit about democracy. DO YOUR JOB!! ----(my Name) --an American citizen. If anyone wants to do the same--go to the Department of Justice and give em'what for!!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...home-is-proving-be-magnet-political-spending/ excerpt: "In the 2018 cycle, about 2 percent of spending was at Mar-a-Lago, with far more spending at places such as the Trump hotel in D.C., where incumbent Republicans could hold quick fundraisers. In the 2020 cycle, about 13 percent of non-Trump and non-RNC spending was at Mar-a-Lago. Since the 2020 election, though, more than $4 out of every $10 spent at Trump properties is spent at Mar-a-Lago — to the tune of $190,000. And why not? If you want Trump’s endorsement, you go to his house. And then you rent out his house for your fundraiser. And maybe Trump shows up and pumps his fist and talks about voter fraud and everyone’s happy. It happens over and over again. Here, I’ll show you. This is data from the Federal Election Commission. Spending by Trump’s campaign and PACs are in red; RNC spending is in gray. Those black circles? That’s other candidates and PACs spending money at Mar-a-Lago. Since the 2020 election, it’s been a blizzard. There were a lot of reasons for Trump to move to Florida after serving as president, from legal pressure he faced in New York to simply following a well-established pattern for New York retirees. But, intentionally or not, it’s been a boon in another way, too. Still the GOP kingmaker, he was able to establish a system where people not only visited to seek out his endorsement but could put money in his pocket while doing so."
