ELECTIONS

Waiting for Sidney The pressure to make these allegations disappear is enormous. Where is the evidence? By Roger Kimball

https://amgreatness.com/2020/11/21/waiting-for-sidney/

So what is the state of play regarding the 2020 presidential election? There seem to be two main positions. 

One is that Joe Biden won the election, narrowly but with sufficient latitude that any challenge is bootless. A corollary of that contention is that the adults in the room, be they Republicans or Democrats, should get with the program and accede to the Narrative. 

Over the past week or so, I have had many Republican friends—including some sympathetic to President Trump—explain that the fight is essentially over. Some acknowledge the political wisdom of Trump pursuing every legal recourse. Yet the assumption is always the same: the game is lost but, like a transmission from a distant galaxy, the news has not yet reached us. “To preserve our democracy,” both Left and Right say, we will soon need to draw a line under the election of 2020 and declare Joe Biden the winner. 

If you are a Democratic mouthpiece—i.e., if you are a spokesman for the mainstream media—then you think (or at least you say) that Trump’s refusal to concede is “damaging democracy” and isn’t it just the kind of bad behavior you would expect of a man of “bad character” who should never have been president in the first place? Those on the Right, many of them, want or at least are willing to let the “process” play out but in their heart-of-hearts they have already conceded and are calculating how they might turn this unfortunate situation to their advantage. 

The other main position—and let me hasten to acknowledge that it is mine—is that this election was riddled with voter fraud. Nor was it the usual taken-for-granted and (between us sophisticated men of the world) acceptable margin of fraud but a planned and systematic assault on the integrity of our election that overturned a convincing victory for Donald Trump. 

I believe this partly because of the stunning statistical anomalies in the election—I have written about this several times (here, for example, and here). 

Matt Braynard’s data analytics have paid off By Andrea Widburg

Within days of the election, people were hard at work looking at fraud, and Matt Braynard was on the front line, getting information for Trump’s lawyers

Over the course of two days, I introduced American Thinker readers to Matt Braynard. The first time I wrote about him, he’d run a successful GoFundMe campaign to fund research into fraudulent votes. The second time, I reported that GoFundMe had deplatformed him and returned all the pledged money. I can now update you about Matt’s work: He was able to complete his project and it’s paid off in the form of support for Trump’s legal challenges to the election.

Just three days after the election, I wrote about Matt Braynard, who had made a successful GoFundMe pitch for money he planned to use for a sophisticated data analytics program. It would allow him to determine how many “voters” in the contested states were dead people, non-residents, or infrequent voters whose identities were stolen.

Only one day later, I wrote about Matt’s travails with GoFundMe. The platform had kicked him off because it disagreed with the project he sought to fund:

We raised $220k on GoFundMe before we were deleted for “Prohibited Content.” None of the money was disbursed to us.  This is the same platform that raises money for bail for terrorists. Help us out by 2x’ing what you gave before to help make up what we lost.

That’s how the left rolls: It pretends to create a free and open marketplace of ideas and then, when it attains dominance in the market, it silences views with which it disagrees.

Fortunately, Matt was able to obtain crowdsourced funding again through GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site.

One day later, with money again flowing in, Matt published a video explaining the project he was creating with that money. It’s a fascinating video.

When is a perfect oval evidence of vote fraud? By John Keller

Watching a Dominion Voting System sales presentation from 2017, I have to wonder: Could the thieves have outsmarted themselves?

Having sworn off professional sporting events like many of you, I have made what feels like the moribund turn to other pursuits, such as watching a Dominion Voting System Presentation from 2017.  I did this so you don’t have to; unless your Lawrence Welk Betamax of Cissy and Bobby’s greatest hits is fuzzing up, then by all means, take a look. 

In the video we have a team of sales and demo experts (Dr. Eric Coomer, Waldeep Singh, David Marino, CEO John Poulos and other support staff) “…to outline new voting equipment options in Chicago on April 13, 2017.”  This was the 4th of four election equipment videos and had a few items of note that I haven’t heard or read anywhere before and I wanted to share those with you. (video is almost an hour long)

First, let’s talk about the elephant in the room, Dr. Eric Coomer.  Recognize that name?  In this video, Coomer comes across as a consummate professional, knowing hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the line.  In my professional experience, it was a very good demo highlighting the capabilities and features of the hardware and software that Dominion Voting Systems sells.  As he walks through his measured and informational demo, you would never know the alleged radical and hateful conservative contempt kicking around in the back of his head.  So rather than dismiss Mr. Coomer outright, let me present some information that has been hiding in plain sight in what is otherwise an unremarkable video.  Given the propensity for technocrats to scuttle damaging info, I am surprised Google hasn’t memory holed this item, nor has Dominion has requested a takedown.

“What’s Coming in Georgia Will Be Shocking!” – Trump Attorney Jordan Sekulow Promises BIG NEWS in Georgia on Monday or Tuesday (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/coming-georgia-will-shocking-trump-attorney-jordan-sekulow-promises-big-news-georgia-monday-tuesday-video/

President Donald Trump lawyer Jordan Sekulow told Newsmax TV on Saturday that the campaign is filing a “shocking” lawsuit next week in Georgia!

Jordan added that the coming lawsuit includes NEW allegations that no one has heard yet.

Sekulow told Newsmax host Tom Basile:

“We have got lawsuits likely to be filed in Georgia on either Monday or Tuesday; I can’t get into the details. I can’t tell you right now, but what’s coming in Georgia will be shocking, when we file this in federal court Monday or Tuesday It’s nothing that we have talked before. It’s not what you heard in the press conference [Thursday] either. This is something completely separate… I will tell you, the Lt. Gov. [Geoff Duncan] in Georgia, the Secretary of State in Georgia [Brad Raffensperger] in Georgia, they’re in for quite a shock on Monday and Tuesday about how poorly they run and they ran – there’s going to be a proof – of how poorly run they ran the elections in one of their major counties”

Sidney Powell: Some ‘May Need Witness Protection’ After Our Exposé Beth Baumann

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2020/11/21/sidney-powell-whistleblowers-may-need-witness-protection-after-their-allegations-are-brought-to-light-n2580467

Trump Team attorney Sidney Powell on Friday told Newsmax’s Howie Carr that once the campaign drops evidence of voter fraud there will be a number of people who will need to be in witness protection. 

“When are we going to have some positive developments in the president’s case here?” Carr asked.

Powell said evidence of fraud will be released this coming week.

“This was very widespread, very deliberate, well-funded and everybody and their pet rock is trying to stop me from exposing it,” the attorney said. 

According to Powell, the various election software that was used went far beyond just the presidential election and was used so specific people were put in government positions. She believes it was also used against John James, the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan, and Leon Benjamin, the Republican candidate for Virginia’s 4th Congressional District. 

“I think they did it to any particularly strong Republican candidate this time around,” she said.  

When Carr pressed the former federal prosecutor about whether or not there will evidence of a “smoking gun,” Powell stated the Trump Team has it.

Ken Blackwell: The Greatest Electoral Heist in American History

https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2020/11/21/blackwell-the-greatest-electoral-heist-in-american-history/

Ken Blackwell, former Secretary of State of Ohio, is the Distinguished Fellow for Human Rights and Constitutional Governance, at the Family Research Council.

The pieces are finally coming together, and they reveal a masterpiece of electoral larceny involving Big Tech oligarchs, activists, and government officials who prioritize partisanship over patriotism.

The 2020 election was stolen because leftists were able to exploit the coronavirus pandemic to weaken, alter, and eliminate laws that were put in place over the course of decades to preserve the integrity of the ballot box. But just as importantly, it was stolen because those same leftists had a thoroughly-crafted plan, and because they were rigorous in its implementation and ruthless in its execution.

Let’s not forget that liberals have been consumed by a fixation with removing Donald Trump from office for longer than he’s actually been in office. The sordid story of the 2020 election heist begins all the way back in January 2017, when Barack Obama’s former campaign manager and senior advisor, David Plouffe, took a job leading the policy and advocacy efforts of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a “charitable” organization established by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

Earlier this year, just as it was becoming clear that Joe Biden would be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, Plouffe published a book outlining his vision for the Democrats’ roadmap to victory in 2020, which involved a “block by block” effort to turn out voters in key Democratic strongholds in the swing states that would ultimately decide the election, such as Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Detroit, and Minneapolis.

The book was titled, A Citizen’s Guide to Defeating Donald Trump, and it turned out that the citizen Plouffe had in mind was none other than his former boss, Mark Zuckerberg. Although Plouffe no longer officially managed Zuckerberg’s policy and advocacy efforts at that point, the political operative’s influence evidently remained a powerful force.

Biden Corruption Allegations Have 32% of Democrats Asking for a Special Counsel to Investigate By Stacey Lennox,

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/stacey-lennox/2020/11/21/biden-corruption-allegations-have-32-of-democrats-asking-for-a-special-counsel-to-investigate-n1165970

According to a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports for Just the News, 32% of Democrats and a majority of registered voters want a special counsel appointed to investigate allegations of corruption against the Biden family. The poll asked, “If Joe Biden becomes president, should a special counsel be appointed to investigate allegations of corruption involving his family’s dealings with China and Ukraine?”

Yes – 52%
No – 33%
Unsure – 15%

The overall results of the survey of 1,200 registered voters are partially due to corporate media malfeasance in vetting the Democrat nominee during the general election. Some liberal-leaning outlets like The New York Times and Politico had written stories on the Biden family’s shady foreign business deals, even during the 2020 primary. Then they all had Trump-induced dementia regarding their own reporting during the general election. The DNC establishment had decided Biden was the nominee, and President Trump needed to be defeated at all costs.

When the most damning and corroborated evidence was obtained from Hunter Biden’s laptop, the corporate media was joined by Big Tech in suppressing and discrediting the information. Right-leaning media outlets documented how the information breaking in the New York Post was actively suppressed online. Corporate media outlets and their contributors straight from the deep state dismissed the story as “Russian disinformation.”

he results of the actions taken by Big Tech and the corporate media were documented in a poll conducted for the Media Research Center:

A new post-election poll from the Media Research Center, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, shows 36 percent of Biden voters were NOT aware of the evidence linking Joe Biden to corrupt financial dealings with China through his son Hunter. Thirteen percent of these voters (or 4.6% of Biden’s total vote) say that had they known these facts, they would not have voted for the former Vice President.

Washington Examiner interviews Trump lawyer Sidney Powell in podcast exclusive by Spencer Neale

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/hear-it-washington-examiner-interviews-trump-lawyer-sidney-powell-in-podcast-exclusive

Trump lawyer Sidney Powell laid out the case behind the president’s claims of election rigging in a wide-ranging interview with the Washington Examiner on Friday.

Larry O’Connor, host of the Washington Examiner’s Examining Politics, referenced articles from the New York Times and HuffPost that alleged a backdoor in Dominion Voting Systems used in several key battleground states could have been exploited to create vote tallies “that did not exist.”

Powell said those are part of the allegations being brought by the Trump campaign.

“Their system even admits, their own training manual admits, that people can go in and do that. That people can go in and put all kinds of votes in a ‘trash’ folder and then ‘trash’ them,” Powell said. “There are devices on the internet that can be used to see it, and we have multiple people who actually saw it as it was happening. We essentially have some pictures of it, and it is terrifying, and it is a huge national security issue. Why have the Department of Justice and the FBI not done something on this immediately?”

Responding to O’Connor’s question about reports of “overvotes or overballots” in key voting precincts that recorded “200% to 300% turnout,” Powell said it was a combination of different types of fraud.

“It’s probably attributable to fraudulent mail-in ballots or computer alterations of the vote. Either one is distinctly possible, and, of course, we have a lot of dead people voting. But that’s not what my case is really based on — that’s certainly one of the issues in the case, a scheme to defraud the people of their legal vote because people had to go out and affirmatively fill in ballots of people that they knew were dead and then file them, and each one of them is a federal crime punishable by five years in prison, if I recall correctly.”

Of course, we knew it was impossible that terrible and corrupt candidate Joe Biden who literally campaigned from his basement could beat the most popular fighter for the American people in history!

Powell was on Newsmax TV last night with Howie Carr as we reported earlier where she stated that President Trump had at least 7 million more votes in the 2020 election and Biden at least 10 million less:Then Powell announced that President Trump is relaxed because he already ‘Released the Kraken.’She warned the Deep State:And it involves Obama!

Law Firm Withdraws From Representing Boockvar in Trump Campaign’s Pennsylvania Lawsuit By Tom Ozimek

https://www.theepochtimes.com/law-firm-withdraws-from-representing-boockvar-in-trump-campaigns-pennsylvania-lawsuit_3588253.html?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2020-11-21-1

Law firm Kirkland & Ellis has requested withdrawal from representing Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar in a lawsuit brought forward by the Trump campaign, with Kramer Levin attorney Barry Berke stepping in as a substitute.

Kirkland & Ellis attorneys made the request in a notice of substitution of counsel filed on Nov. 20 (pdf), noting that Boockvar would be represented by law firm Kramer Levin, Myers Brier & Kelly, and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, until the end of legal proceedings.

This is not the first time Berke is to confront President Donald Trump’s legal team, with the National Law Journal reporting that Berke served as special counsel to the House Judiciary Committee as it built its impeachment case against Trump.

The move to switch legal representation comes after Linda Kerns, a lawyer leading the Trump campaign’s efforts to dispute the election results in Pennsylvania, complained to a federal court that she received an abusive voicemail from a Kirkland & Ellis attorney, with Kerns saying the message “by any measure falls afoul of standards of professional conduct.”

In a response, Kirkland lawyer Daniel Donovan said he thought the call was “discourteous and not appropriate” but disagreed with how Kerns had described it.
