"... If the 2020 election in Fulton County were truly the most secure in history, why are they guarding the employee roster like it’s the nuclear launch codes?
Who knows. Maybe they are just very, very modest. Or perhaps, when you spend five years insisting that there is absolutely nothing to see here, the last thing you need is someone switching on the lights.
Nobody outside the grand jury room knows where this is going. But the scale and persistence of the effort —the warehouse raid, a civil lawsuit, and now a subpoena for 3,000 names— suggests that whoever is driving the bus believes there is something real to find. Here’s my lawyer’s take.
The most obvious reason to demand the names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails of every single person who worked the 2020 election in Fulton County is to build a comprehensive witness list. Obviously, before you can interview people, you first need to know who they are. The county has never voluntarily produced a full roster, so the grand jury is forcing the issue. This is standard investigative groundwork: get the list, start making calls, and see who is willing to talk and who lawyers up.
The worst case for the County is that one or two cooperating witnesses provide testimony that implicates supervisors or officials— and those supervisors, facing their own legal exposure, flip upward. Federal prosecutors call this “building the pyramid.” Start at the base and work upwards toward whoever was giving the orders. The subpoena for worker names is the foundation of that pyramid.
If the physical evidence about which we’ve heard so much —the ballots, machine logs, and tabulator tapes— show discrepancies, then a cooperating witness who can explain how those discrepancies occurred transforms a forensic anomaly into a criminal conspiracy. That is the difference between “the numbers don’t add up” and “here is the person who told me to run those ballots through again.” The former is a political argument; the latter is an indictment.
The county’s statute of limitations argument is a dead loser.
Fulton County’s lawyers are making a lot of hay of the fact that the statute of limitations for 2020 election crimes has expired. That’s true for most standalone offenses. But it is not true for conspiracy charges, which have a longer clock and reset every time a conspirator takes an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
But worse for Fulton County, there’s another common play that could also easily explain the subpoena: looking for a cooperating witness.
With nearly 3,000 names on that list, the odds favor that at least some of those workers saw something irregular, were pressured to do something they were uncomfortable with, or just want to tell their story. Prosecutors in complex criminal cases almost always build from the bottom up— find the low-level participant who is nervous, offer them immunity or leniency, and work your way up the chain. The sheer breadth of the request (everyone, not just supervisors) suggests they are casting a wide net, precisely to find that person who can crack the case like a piñata.
The SOL argument also fails if the investigation considers conduct that continued beyond 2020— for example, if records were altered, destroyed, or concealed after the election. The FBI’s January raid focused partly on record retention violations, which would be a separate and more recent offense. So the SOL argument, while real, is not even close to the slam dunk Fulton County claims it is.
But there’s an even more alarming possibility— alarming for Fulton County, that is.
The theory that should make Fulton County most nervous is that the grand jury may just be using 2020 as a predicate —establishing a pattern of conduct— while the real target is what happened in subsequent elections, such as 2024. If the same workers, supervisors, or systems were involved in later elections, and if there is evidence of ongoing misconduct, the 2020 data becomes the foundation of a much larger case rather than 2020 alone.
This would completely explain why the DOJ is still actively pursuing this years after the fact, and why they raided the warehouse in January rather than simply closing the file.
The county’s claims about political persecution arise mostly because the subpoena was signed by Dan Bishop, the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of North Carolina, who Pam Bondi appointed as national coordinator for election-related crimes. For context, back when he was a Republican Representative in the House, Dan voted against certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory on January 6, 2021— in other words, a true believer.
And don’t forget: Dominion —Fulton County’s e-voting provider in 2020 and 2024— has been bought out and rebranded out of existence (it’s now “Liberty Vote” under new Republican management). Liberty Vote has Dominion’s records and could easily be voluntarily cooperating with the DOJ, and nobody would know. (Smartmatic is fighting for its corporate life in federal court on foreign bribery charges.)
The pincers are closing from multiple directions.
The Fulton County situation is a microcosm of a broader Democrat polycrisis. Democrats spent four years using the legal system as a political weapon against Trump —two impeachments, four criminal indictments, civil fraud cases, state prosecutions— and now the instrument is in other hands. The norm against weaponizing federal law enforcement has been thoroughly shredded— by Democrats. It is now intellectually impossible for them to argue that investigating a political opponent’s election conduct is inherently illegitimate, when they just spent four years doing exactly that." .......

DNI Gabbard spurs probe into evidence Congress, Trump were misled on election security, memos show | Just The News:
"Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has spurred an investigation into evidence that spy agencies tried to conceal U.S. election vulnerabilities, including whistle-blower claims that a CIA officer was asked to alter evidence of China meddling and that President Donald Trump and Congress were intentionally kept in the dark about concerns involving China and Venezuela, according to unclassified memos reviewed by Just the News.
The memos indicate Gabbard's team first learned about the evidence — much of it yet classified — last year as part of a review conducted by her now-disbanded Director's Initiative Group (DIG) and recently referred it to the new Intelligence Community (IC) Inspector General Christopher Fox, a move that could eventually lead to the public gaining access to declassified versions of some of the evidence.
Foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized as far back as 2020
The wide-ranging approach taken by the FBI in response to now-debunked claims of Trump-Russia collusion in 2016 stands in stark contrast to how the U.S. intelligence community sought to bury evidence of Chinese government efforts to undermine Trump’s candidacy in 2020.
The National Intelligence Council concluded in 2020 that China had hacked or gained access to several state voter registration databases, but that information was hidden from the American public, state election officials, and Congress. The new memos reviewed by Just the News cite evidence that China may have gained access to between 12 and 18 states' voter registration databases in 2020 alone, an infiltration far larger than previously acknowledged.
They also chronicle efforts to suppress the extent of China's malicious election activities despite whistle-blower complaints from Christopher Porter — the now-former national intelligence officer for cyber — trying to bring attention to it. Just the News recently reported that Fox, the current intel community watchdog, is reviewing Porter’s whistle-blower concerns anew, including evidence of possible retaliation during the Biden years.
The ODNI is currently in possession of allegations made by one or more intelligence officers arguing that foreign interference efforts by China were de-emphasized or omitted entirely from final analytic assessments, kept out of the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, or hidden from congressional oversight, according to documents reviewed by Just the News.
These actions within the IC were taken in an alleged effort to undercut Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign and resist his China-related policies, according to the memos reviewed by Just the News.
One email in the possession of ODNI allegedly states that an intelligence agency planned to massage one particular presidential briefing document meant for Trump to dodge the mention of election influence concerns despite raw intelligence reporting on the subject.
The memos also point to emails showing alleged attempts by certain CIA officials to cover up election influence efforts by China and to push a CIA analyst to change a federal record about an agency meeting where CIA officials purportedly hinted that China-related evidence was being held back to avoid helping Trump in the 2020 race.
The memos also chronicle concerns about the handling of congressional briefings on foreign interference and Chinese interference attempts in 2020. The warnings raised and then purportedly suppressed inside the IC in 2020 also included concerns about vulnerabilities tied to Venezuela-linked election infrastructure, the documents state.
Months before the 2020 presidential election, U.S. intelligence issued a secret but stark warning that foreign adversaries had the capability to “compromise” America's voting infrastructure and raised specific concerns about the vulnerability of voter registration databases that later would be penetrated by China and Iran, a recently declassified memo obtained by Just the News also showed.
The National Intelligence Council's concerns were so extensive that officials personally briefed Trump at the White House in February 2020, according to photos obtained by Just the News showing top CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security officials joining with NIC analysts to inform the president.
But the American public was never fully alerted, even after evidence emerged that China had gained access to voter registration data in multiple states.
"We judge that U.S. adversaries, including, at a minimum, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, as well as non-state groups, have the capability to compromise US election infrastructure for the 2020 presidential election," the NIC wrote in the memo dated Jan. 15, 2020. Until Gabbard last month declassified and Just the News reported it, that assessment never saw the light of day.
That document did not mention Venezuela, but the new memos make clear that some concerns about Venezuela emerged in 2020 and have yet to be made public. An intelligence community inspector found in an early January 2021 report that U.S. intelligence analysts appeared to hold back information on Chinese meddling efforts because they disagreed with the Trump administration’s policies. The Iranian regime’s efforts to harm Trump’s 2020 candidacy were also downplayed by some Democratic opponents of Trump ahead of his face-off with Joe Biden.
It was revealed last year that a confidential human source told FBI counterintelligence in the summer of 2020 that China’s communist government was seeking to meddle in the impending election in an effort to help then-candidate Joe Biden, according to a raw intelligence report distributed to federal agencies that was made public.
Warned about being an easy target, report ordered "recalled"
Though officials say an ongoing second Trump administration investigation has found no evidence yet that vote-counting machines themselves were directly compromised in the 2020 election, the memo also shows how such machines could be vulnerable to intrusions in the future and made clear that the voter registration databases that were breached by China and Iran were easy targets.
The ODNI had released a March 2021 assessment in which agencies unanimously agreed Russia sought to hurt then-candidate Biden while Iran worked to harm then-President Trump in 2020 — but the agencies did not reach unanimity on China. The majority argued China didn’t try to influence the election against Trump, while a minority dissent contended that’s exactly what Beijing did.
Then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, who is now Trump’s CIA director, revealed in early January 2021 that he had found evidence about the politicization of China election influence analysis inside the IC and of undue pressure being brought to bear against the analysts who had assessed that China had worked to stop Trump from being reelected.
The intelligence report was titled “Chinese Government Production and Export of Fraudulent US Driver's Licenses to Chinese Sympathizers in the United States, in Order to Create Tens of Thousands of Fraudulent Mail-in Votes for US Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, in late August 2020.” That report was soon recalled in 2020, with spy agencies told to delete the information before they had a chance to properly investigate its claims.
Bombshell revelations about alleged Chinese election meddling — and the politicized suppression of analyses pointing to Beijing trying to hurt Trump in 2020 — were made public on January 7, 2021." .......

Goode Defies Trump-Backed Challenge In Indiana’s GOP Primary Showdown:
"In a pivotal political contest in [Terre Haut] Indiana, incumbent State Senator Greg Goode defeated Brenda Wilson in the Republican primary for District 38. This race was noteworthy not only for its intense competition but also as it reflected the ongoing struggle over former President Donald Trump’s influence in the Republican Party. …
Adding complexity to the primary was the candidacy of Alexandra Wilson, who also challenged Goode. Despite recommendations for her to withdraw to consolidate pro-Trump support, she chose to remain, potentially dividing the vote and complicating the dynamics of the race."
That sonofabitch hired someone with the same name--also a woman-- to split the vote. That’s an old Boston Dirty Trick.
He won by a safe margin, so he didn’t need to cheat. But he’s still a No Goode Dirty Cheater for trying.
"... Maybe things are changing: A judge ruled the Trump DOJ can keep 600+ boxes of "ballots" seized from Fani Willis' Fulton County, to inspect them for authenticity.
Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrewExactly.
No one has ever inspected the actual ballots that didn't have an interest in the 2020 results being confirmed.
A federal grand jury has no obligation to accept any conclusions reached by anyone before them.
That's because no one before them had subpoena power of a federal court, and the ability to compel testimony under oath with a threat of contempt if they refuse.
This is a new ballgame played by different rules.
Update: They're still babbling that the seat held by Steve Cohen is his forever because "it's a black district."

Minnesota officials are IN on the fraud"" .......
Antifa Keef Ellison paid off the defendant with no jail time to buy his silence about Ellison's own crimes. The Dirty Walz Judge let the other defendant keep his passport so he would flee. Dirty Judge wanted the thief to flee to hide the Judge's own crimes.
A Judicial System unable and unwilling to enforce law is a trigger for the Insurrection Act.
