Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee...
Yes, I know last night was the first Republican Debate. I didn't watch for many reasons, high among them is because none of those participating will be getting the party's presidential nomination. I'm sure in post-debate analysis, it will be discussed who won, and how it will impact their polling, and if it will move them up in the polls (or who will move down.) I should add two things. One, the Republican Party is not going to nominate 37-year old tech millionaire with zero political experience Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the party, whatever analysis say. And two, if if by some otherworldly miracle one of the people on the debate stage does get the nomination other than Trump, including Mr. Ramaswamy, Trump will trash that person and burn down the party.
Perhaps I'll write about the debate later, though who knows?, that might cover it in brief. We'll see how the spirit moves me...
Instead, another matter came to mind back on August 14, which I've been meaning to write about.
When the Georgia racketeering indictments were released 10 days ago, four of the nineteen people indicted were tied to the election office breach in Coffee County. That was where technicians hired by now-indicted Trump attorney Sidney Powell were allowed entry into the elections building, given free reign to wander around secure areas, and copied data which got disseminated around the country.
For all the reactions people had to the indictments, mine was -- "Wait, Coffee County got included?? It's about time!!"
That's because observant readers of these pages will recall the article I wrote about the event almost a year ago, on September 21, 2022, when video of the breach was discovered, which I embedded.
So, as an appropriate Golden Oldie, and to remind people of the event with the details and video, I thought it was a good time to bring it back. I should add that the article refers throughout to GOP chairwoman Cathy Latham. What I didn't know at the time is that she also was one of the Georgia fake electors. And yes, she's one of the 19 people who were indicted.
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.
