Entering the Projection Booth
If a Biden campaign lawyer spent EIGHT HOURS in a restricted Georgia county elections office with the local Democratic Party chairman and forensic experts copying sensitive data from voting machines and opening boxes with digital data pads -- and lie about it – Republican heads would EXPLODE. And the thing is, they should have. That this breach was Trump experts working for Trump lawyer Sydney Powell, along with the Georgia Republican Party chairwoman is no less a major issue.
Actually, it’s a far bigger issue given that it’s the Trump campaign which has been crying “election fraud” and data breaches and that the election was “stolen” and – and is the party that built an insurrection to overthrow the election.
Man, talk about projection. This is projecting your own actions, indeed your own election fraud crimes on steroids.
Oh, and now, to make this an even bigger issue, throw in that the Georgia GOP chairwoman Cathy Latham breaching the restricted elections office is already under investigation by D.A. Fanny Willis as one of the state’s fake electors.
Furthermore, Ms. Latham claims that her lie is not a "lie" because she shouldn’t be expected to remember details from two years ago – which confirms the lie, since the “claim” is ludicrous. While I forget small matters like everyone, I also (like everyone) remember details from decades ago. Most especially those occasions are important and extensive. And trying to help the president of the United States prove faux-voter fraud for EIGHT HOURS during an election that was so deeply contested that there was an insurrection to overthrow democracy qualifies as important and extensive. And even that that, it’s one thing to forget minor specifics like, “I’m sorry, I forgot that I said down by the computer, when it was by phone bank.” It’s another thing entirely to say you were only at the county elections office for just a few minutes and stayed in the lobby the entire time – when, in fact, there is video evidence showing that it was EIGHT HOURS and she spent it in the restricted office with the computer system where people around you are opening boxes with data and handling it all.
And she can't recall that from only two years ago??!! Two years?!!
As lies go, this is a whopper. If this was a scene in Pinocchio, her nose would grow so long the tip would end up in Alabama.
And again, to be clear, there is video of it all. This is not a “he said/she said” thing. This is a “She lied until the video evidence proving the lie” thing.
As they say in sports – let’s go to the video.
Here is a news report with a very edited-version of the EIGHT HOURS of video. It’s only two minutes with jump cuts in, but makes it all clear that this is not something you, oops, just forget some minor details, that it wasn’t only a few minutes in the lobby and nothing more.
That’s Ms. Latham wearing a blue cardigan on the far left at the beginning of the video. You can see her sitting in the restricted office surrounded by data, which is being accessed by others. Later, you’ll see her wandering around with her co-conspirators.
(The Washington Post has an excellent, three-minute edited version of the data office breach embedded in their article. I can’t post it here, but if you’re able to get access, you can watch it here.)
At the moment, there’s no evidence that any election data was tampered with. That doesn’t mean none was, but we have no evidence of it, yet. But – the danger of that aside – it’s also moot. Because it brings us back to how this all began:
If a Biden campaign lawyer spent EIGHT HOURS in a restricted Georgia county elections office with the local Democratic Party chairman and forensic experts copying sensitive data from voting machines and opening boxes with digital data pads -- and lie about it – Republican heads would EXPLODE. And the thing is, they should have. That this breach was Trump experts working for Trump lawyer Sydney Powell, along with the Georgia Republican Party chairwoman is no less a major issue.
Time after time, for two years, Republicans have cried “election fraud” and for two years, we learn that every time some election fraud is found – whether with fake electors, phone calls to pressure a Secretary of State to overturn legitimate votes, or breaking into a restricted county elections office -- it’s by Republicans.
Projection, thy name is the Republican Party
