Texas filed a lawsuit against four states. They were required to file their briefs in response today. Predictably, these responses are mainly outrage that Texas would interfere with their election. Most legal experts do not believe the Supreme Court will even hear the case. However, 2020 is a weird year in every way, so we all need to wait and see.
Texas has support from 17 other states. That, at least, should give pause. In addition, the responses from those four states are from the Attorney Generals, not the legislatures. Technically, only the state legislature is authorized under the constitution to determine how elections are conducted. I am not sure if this will matter.
However, even if the Supreme Court does not hear this case, a lot of things are happening. One is the criminal case against Hunter Biden. Another is the Special Prosecutor who is investigating the origins of the Russian Collusion case. In addition, contrary to what is being reported in the MSM, there is a ton of evidence regarding systemic corruption. That evidence is going to continue to come out and there is the potential for some real bombshells. We all need to remember that the election is not over until January 6th, when a joint session of congress will meet to decide. Then and only then does anything become official.
There is something else. Everyone has been frustrated because of the lack of obvious investigation by the FBI and/or the DOJ. But I went back and read the transcript of the speech by Donald Trump on December 2, 2020. The media downplayed this as just another Trump rant, but Trump said this may be the most important speech I’ve ever made:
“ This may be the most important speech I’ve ever made. I want to provide an update on our ongoing efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November 3rd elections.
On top of everything else, we have a company that’s very suspect. It’s name is Dominion, with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. What kind of a system is this? We have to go to paper, maybe it takes longer. But the only secure system is paper. Not these systems that nobody understands, including in many cases, the people that run them. Although, unfortunately, I think they understand them far too well.
In one Michigan County, as an example, that used Dominion systems, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched from Trump to Biden, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what we caught. How many didn’t we catch? Are there 100s of other examples throughout the country? Are there 1000s? We just got lucky and they called it a glitch, but we found numerous glitches that evening. 96% of the company’s political donations went to Democrats, not surprisingly.
Frankly, when you look at who’s running the company, who’s in charge, who owns it, which we don’t know, where are the votes counted? Which we think are counted in foreign countries, not in the United States, Dominion is a disaster.”
This reminded me that Trump signed an executive order regarding foreign interference in our election on September 12, 2018:
Section 1. (a) Not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election. The assessment shall identify, to the maximum extent ascertainable, the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it, the persons involved, and the foreign government or governments that authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported it. The Director of National Intelligence shall deliver this assessment and appropriate supporting information to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.
The election was on November 03, 2020. This report is due on December 18, 2020. More importantly, this investigation is done by the DNI in consultation with other agencies, including the CIA and the NSA. This means if there is an investigation, it was done by our intelligence agencies, not the DOJ or the FBI.
That investigation is required to report:
(i) the extent to which any foreign interference that targeted election infrastructure materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, the tabulation of votes, or the timely transmission of election results; and
(ii) if any foreign interference involved activities targeting the infrastructure of, or pertaining to, a political organization, campaign, or candidate, the extent to which such activities materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, including by unauthorized access to, disclosure or threatened disclosure of, or alteration or falsification of, information or data.
There are numerous reports of foreign interference in this election, particularly regarding Dominion software. Do you think that John Ratcliff, DNI, ignored that? One thing is certain, no one will know anything unless he or President Trump decides to tell you.
Like I said, a lot of moving parts here and most people commenting on this have no clue regarding what really matters. In the meantime, the Ayes of Texas themselves could change everything.
