Dinesh D’Souza cuts through some of the chaff and countermeasures deployed by Tucker Carlson and asks a transparently obvious question: Are U.S. ballot counting machines capable of being manipulated? That baseline question is not dependent on any answer within a court or Trump campaign team filing. That question is simply a matter of investigative journalism finding out… but they are disinterested.
If the U.S. uses election machinery that is capable of being manipulated, that alone should initiate a serious line of inquiry about why such a function would even be present. Why would any ballot counting machine even need to have a feature to shift votes or change outcomes? The brutally obvious questions sit in the corner of the room like an 800/lb gorilla the media pretend isn’t there. WATCH:
If you support our President, watch OANN or Newsmax, not Fox. They WANT a Biden presidency as demonstrated by their actions, including Tucker.
Newsmax is better than FauxNooz…for the moment. But I hope people won’t make the same mistake of jumping on the cheerleading bandwagon again. Newsmax is not run by Conservatives, either.
TV is entertainment, first and foremost. It is theater, with an emphasis on ratings and adverts. These on-air talking heads spend more time getting their hair and makeup done, than doing investigative research.
Does Newsmax project anything vocally or on their graphics differently or do they say “President Elect Biden” as loud as Fox ?
You’d have to ask someone who sits and watches them. As I have neither the time nor interest, I only catch relevant clips here and there.
From what I’ve read and heard from others, it depends on the show, guests, and talking heads. Same formula as Faux.
Well, Mom and I joined the MSM boycott last week (it was SO hard to get her to stop reflexively watching Fox News all day; I had to tape a note to the TV remote), and started watching Newsmax for the first time.
Newsmax is actually reporting the TRUMP side of the election controversy, and showing the key press conferences and fraud evidence. The difference between Newsmax and Fox is STARK. For now, at least, Newsmax is reporting THE NEWS!
I read the articles that Newsmax has on-line and the comments that posters put on to the articles. I come away feeling thoroughly disgusted by the nasty NEGATIVE comments from the liberal left. These comments inundate the site. Rarely do I find a comment that counters any of these in a logical, reasonable way. I have reached the conclusion that Newsmax is NOT as CONSERVATIVE as those who flock to it, think it is!
I am weaning myself off news just as I suspect the Russian people did in 1920. But what little “news” I do watch (NewsMax), NewsMax does not call Biden “president-elect” because they say the election has not been decided yet.
I used to watch Fox and Friends every a.m. while I did my back exercises, but though they are good guys, I am boycotting Fox, so I have switched to NewsMax. Interestingly enough, when I made the switch I found one of the morning hosts (Rob Schmidt) who hosted the show BEFORE Fox and Friends (sometimes my DVR picked up the tail end of that show), was the new host on NewsMax.
That said, I think it is too late for alternative information. What good is knowing the truth when the PARTY controls everything?
Newsmax frequently states they have not declared a winner as yet.
I use the TV for very little news. Instead, multiple sources from the internet are what I use. It’s a bit more work, but worth it as far as I’m concerned.
NM is a better alternative but clearly not without its own infuriating, crazed liberal perspectives and stories – about the same as ZeroHedge
The outrage from all voters should be deafening….. voting machines capable of being manipulated with easy to follow instruction manuals?
Where’s the evidence of voter fraud they ask?
Really?
Why would any votes be tabulated in another country? That is fundamentally wrong… for starters. The data massaging is damning. Any vote tabulation that is from this system needs to be tossed…
Chris Christie said that the lawyers for Trump are an embarrassment. They have no fraud they can prove.
Never trusted Blowhard Chris Christie.
This is the man who President Trump went to bat for! With “friends” like this, who needs an enemy?
Doesn’t he work for CNN?
I saw Christie on a panel with George Stephanopoulos recently and he commented he was included to give a perspective that others on the panel (all die-hard leftists) wouldn’t be delivering. So I presume that would mean he works for ABC. I don’t know because I watch ZERO TV nooz. Any respect I had for Christie went out the window when he became pals with 0bama during Hurricane Sandy

To explain how I saw Christie while claiming I do not watch TV nooz, I’ll stipulate I watch YouTube videos of various nooz channels for entertainment not for the news value
same here.
Chris Christie can pound sand then… I know a person that has posted here, his dead father in law voted… I know there is fraud. It is personal to that him….
I agree, wt heck….this Dominion is an awful system. It actually seems to act like a training device for children…..how to use our software: Step 1. Change the votes, 2. Delete the votes. Using this is beyond the pale. People knew in advance and had their plans in place.
Thank goodness I have a good mind but it never works that way. Devious intentions have no place in my gray matter.
Both Dinesh and I are married to Venezuelans. We’ve gone through this before. I wrote an article published in American Thinker in September 2017 about Smartmatic and voting in Venezuela. These people need to be put in jail starting with Soros.
Do you have link to article?
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/09/how_the_venezuelan_elections_were_rigged.html
bgtomli Seriously, How do you without uncovering this or stepping neck deep in it?
Governments have to be putting these in place with knowledge of it all, so that’s the issue. President Trump is a target by our complete government, we are.
State governments buy the h/w and s/w with intent. There is no doubt when you check the sales pitch videos and the operating manuals. Also consider the best bud of Lord Malloch is it? Soros.
Charlotte:
The first rule of firearms is you don’t point a gun at anyone or anything unless you’re in a position to use it.
If governments (federal, state, or local) anywhere on earth, are buying voting machines with the potential to alter the count, then they must see the real possibility that they’re going to change the vote.
The only (insufficient) defence is negligence, like a reckless gun owner.
I am incensed that the undisputed capability for vote manipulation by these dominion and smartmartic machines is not by itself reason enough to force rejection of the votes “tabulated” through this software. It absurd. Similar to having Vegas slot with a public API.
Agree IF. You are assuming the answer to the question rather than asking for the answer. Dinesh asks the right questions and points out it should be possible to answer his questions objectively. Someone needs to do that but so far no one on either side has done so. Is or is not the Dominion machine simply set up to count votes or does it have the capability of manipulating the vote count? Why can’t someone answer this question?
ms powell and others have indicated that vote editing capability is covered in the dominion systems operating manual. I don’t believe this issue is in question.
You are correct about this issue not being in question. I also don’t believe D’Souza was asking the question because he didn’t know the answer. He knows the answer. He was asking the question as he did all the others in this 4 minute clip to buttress his point about the incuriousness of the fake nooz media.
I am incensed that the undisputed remote access capability for the manipulation of votes in these dominion and smartmatic machines is not sufficient to reject their output. This is like a Vegas slot machine with a public facing API.
I worked with an engineer some years ago who had designed slot machines at a company producing gambling machines. These systems are VERY carefully designed and controlled. The machines and the company were audited and certified by a small army of government inspectors as well as the gaming houses. Also have you noticed the inspection stickers on gas pumps? It is very apparent that slot machines and gas pumps are audited and certified at a far greater level than our voting machines if the voting machines are certified at all.
If the election infrastructure is not capable of changing or shifting votes, you would think the media would seize the opportunity to show that a core component of President Trump’s fraud claims are baseless. The fact that they won’t investigate this issue speaks volumes to anyone with a shred of common sense.
Yeah…you’d think someone from the left would be defending these machines and the process. Somehow they always seem to stop short of a defense that says more than we just said so, deal with it.
Mary Jo:
Barbra Streisand said, after the 2016 election, that she was told by a Democrat Congressman (unnamed) that Hillary lost Wisconsin because the Russians hacked the voting machines.
Where has been the outcry, from Democrats, to fix or change those same machines?
Instead, we got the dishonest and inconsequential accusation, from the FBI, that the Russians stole DNC emails and that trivia altered the election.
Meanwhile, the Democrats used crooked voting machines to their full potential.
You cannot defend the indefensible!
The FAKE NEWS MEDIA has had four or five years of ‘stories’ that they SHOULD HAVE run down to expose the deliberate mischief, fraud and MANY crimes committed by a whole CRAPLOAD of both elected and non-elected people and gubberment agencies.
Why would they start now?!
Seriously.
I believe Brandon Martin AZ CD2 was cheated out of a congressional seat by machines. The way the numbers were released didn’t make sense. Kirkpatrick D, his opponent, had NO ground game, gave very few interviews – even when called – she hadn’t been seen in congress since the end of May and she had the Biden campaign plan. HIDE and fix the machines. She didn’t have to campaign because she knew she was going to win, It’s very discouraging to work so hard for Brandon and be cheated out of a win.
He had election insurance.. and it didn’t come from LIMU EMU!!
I am certain that while the left concentrated on Biden votes, they also manipulated votes for their other candidates. That was reflected in the polling, to show House gains. I think they rigged the counting for all the races, as it was to be a total rejection of President Trump, but they didn’t count on him doing so well beyond their cheating, overcoming the original planned fraud. It affected the down ticket fraud as they had to scramble to pump up Dementia Joe’s votes and didn’t have time to work on the other races. President Trump had big coattails. The “red mirage” narrative was meant to give cover to the stealing of the election in every area, then the Red Tsunami broke and it was only in smaller areas where they were able to overturn true election results to be a win for the left.
NY used mail in ballots to shrink big leads to small ones. I am sure other states did the same, as it was the big push by the left to have mail in ballots. It’s the Frankin model of success. Keep it close enough, then manufacture enough mail in ballots to steal the election.
Then you had Omar’s buying votes, which probably happens far too frequently as well.
Both sides do fraud, but the left have made it an artform.
Encourage Brandon to sue. Powell said this happened everywhere, and any candidate that lost by 6% or less should contest and sue. Or, Lin Wood said you can as a disenfranchised voter. Take one of his filings and change the necessary details to fit your case and file.
No, we don’t have an investigative journalist community unless it’s Project Veritas, David Daleiden and the few others on the right who have to go undercover and then are sued by left wing AG’s, mocked and ignored by ‘the community’. Then there are the chirping birds on the left in ‘the community’ who are fed disinformation from nefarious deep staters seeking to overthrow a duly elected president if not creating their own stories out of whole cloth.
And Faux News Sucks. Tucker has been compromised, promised, threatened, set up, whatever. There is no more “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, …..” No, when it comes to news trust, you now get only one shot. Faux and Tucker blew it. And I thank them for it. It’s so much easier.
BTW, OANN has been my new TV news source on the chance that I watch TV, but I tuned into NewsMax the other day and was astonished to see a Mark Halperin show with Faux News type ‘Fair and Balanced’ arguing and talking over each other. They must have had 9 commenters all socially distancing from their homes, some arguing that “Trump’s a poo poo head,” and others arguing that he’s not. Like I said, they got their shot. I won’t do that again.
It’s ok to watch while it suits you. I found revolver.news through watching Tucker. We knew something was in the works, knew who owned FNC, knew about Ryan and Donna Brazile hirings, and management changes. So watch NewsMax the same way, take what you can from it, and know they, too, may betray you. It’s TV, not marriage!
Pegon – right the hell on!
Fox News has never done investigative journalism either. The oligarchs never gave them the funding. They were only allowed to comment on the ‘news’ generated by the fake news companies from a conservative angle.
This is the question that likely got the Cyber Chief and his Deputy fired by President Trump.
How could they certify deployment of any systems and not issue a “decertifying” bulletin for ALL systems having this feature?? Not only did they not decertify systems deployed, they issued no warning or notices about these machines and their integral software.
Further, given their role in DHS, how could they not know these systems were integrated across the US, with the US Government and Foreign Data bases?
There seems a fairly straightforward answer to that.
They *did* know. It was a feature, not a bug.
While my daughter isn’t a journalism major, as a media management major I have always told her not to keep asking the same questions or accepting the first answer that comes along. Think of three questions that the interviewer or journalist did not ask but should have. This is basically what Mr. D’Souza is saying to journalists. Do your jobs. Ask the obvious but hard questions, even though you don’t want to hear the obvious but hard answers.
Excellent point… even non journalists know about who, what, when, where and why.
These ejits are asking how much? As in how much they will get paid to spread this bs.
If we follow that money we will easily find the Oligarchs, who are pulling the strings to destroy our concept of Freedom and replace it with a laundry list of entitlements. These people appear to be a tight alliance of Globalists, Communists, and Monopolists. They are presently holding on to their alliance to push their individual agendas, but don’t think for a minute that a bunch of unicorn idealist Globalists and money grubbing Monopolists are going to last long after the Communists achieve their goal of dominating the power structure of these groups.
The middle classes, represented by President Trump and a few of his allies, are the only political constituency that is in the cross hairs of all three of these dangerous groups. If the middle classes have been subdued, the circular firing squad will commence.
If the votes can be counted correctly, the middle class will live on to fight for the Republic, which is the source of our enablement to attain the well-being of the working class. This is what the Communists fear the most and is the reason for all of this senseless identity politics.
Democraps have latched on to identity politics because it has kept them in the game up to now. Soon, Democraps will be learning they are in the same pot of soup. That will be fun to watch but misery does love company. Repugnants are just looking for a safe place to hide so they don’t lose contact with the real power structure, as if that could help those morons.
I wish I could just kick one oligarch in the shins, even a small one…
Let’s see,,
1. Yes (past corruption in blue cities)
2. Yes (foreign countries vote tabulation)
3. Yes (machines manipulated)
4. Yes (Affidavits and whistleblowers have weight. )
There are a whole bunch of yeses in my mind.. but I caught Dinesh in a lie.. a big whopper!!! At the 1:55 mark he said that we have a press in this country. That is blatantly a lie.. We do not have a press anymore, we have a ministry of propaganda.. Other than that, he hit the mark, four or five times. Asked and answered.
Are we too far gone as a nation, or, is this the reversal that corrects decades of corruption and evil?
God knows. Be obedient and trust in Him in the person of Jesus Christ, not to the world. If you do that you will be saved.
Voter integrity is Caesar’s domain. Honest citizens must deal with it in the here and now.
Jesus said “give to Cesar what is Cesar’s.” In our country, we the people are in charge – in effect WE are Cesar and we have a responsibility that other countries don’t have. What we owe our country is to act like we are in charge, make our voices heard and if that isn’t enough, we know what to do.
I just skimmed this book which one of our posters was good about sharing –
Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses Seventh Edition May 2007 (Revised August 2007)
Would anyone in our 3 letter agencies ever think to do a Public Service Announcement warning
about criminal consequences – A public service announcement (PSA) is a message in the public interest disseminated without charge, with the objective of raising awareness of, and changing public attitudes and behavior towards, a social issue. What ever happened to Smokey the Bear?
Could you imagine Biden or Harris making such a PSA? Now we know why we are compelled to wear face masks – we all know they can’t do any of what they are doing or saying with a straight face – How about our DOJ or FBI?

I am Proud that our immigration system allowed a person like Dinesh to become an American.
I am astounded by the fact that Tucker Carlson – smart and laser focused guy he purports to be – is not camped all over this question. Clearly, the answer for Dominion systems is YES. The second, equally demanding question is, if the capability exists, would it be simply ignored by questionable players, and never used? I doubt it…
Jessie Watters did a deeper dive into this on his show Saturday night than anyone on FNC so far. He could have gone a lot deeper, but at least he started.
Tucker’s demand for ‘evidence’ seemed reasonable at first glance, but once Sidney replied, saying she HAD given him evidence (a sworn affidavit IS EVIDENCE) he PERSISTED.
WHAT would satisfy him? An actual Dominion machine that can be demonstrated to be miscounting ballots right in front of him? Or would he say “That’s just ONE machine! YOU could have tampered with it! Bring me ALL machines!”
And then what? Could he not claim “So, you proved NOTHING. Just because the machines CAN be programmed to cheat, that doesn’t mean they WERE programmed to cheat.
According to Rudy and Sidney, they have affidavits from people who designed the software, and from people who witnessed the acceptance of phony ballots. They even have affidavits from people who were told to ” FIX” flawed ballots, and other people who witnessed ballots being co counted multiple times.
What MORE do you want, Tucker? What would SATISFY YOU, you willfully blind fool?
“Affidavits.” Michael Avenatti had affidavits alleging Bret Kavanaugh was a sexual predator and serial rapist. It’s just a sworn statement of a witness who may not be credible. Sure, it’s under penalty of perjury but unless they’re intentionally lying (and you can prove it) then it’s very hard to prosecute. The quantity of affidavits doesn’t say anything about the quality of the testimony or the credibility of the people who swore to them.
Jeffrey Colley
Avenatti had an affidavit from Swetnick who was a known liar. Are you dumb or dishonest?
Not dishonest – completely honest. An “affidavit” proves nothing, except that there is a witness. Michael Avenatti is a charlatan and a clown; and his affidavit wasn’t worth the paper it was written on. I don’t expect shoddy legal work from Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani so I am hopeful they actually have something of merit. But that’s based on my esteem for their reputations, not the number of “affidavits” they’ve collected.
Notice how the media treated the Kavanaugh affidavits as Gospel despite blatantly obvious inconsistencies in the “victims” testimony. Including a supposed eye witness that flat out denied what that crazy b__h stated while testifying in front of the Judicial Committee. Now compare and contrast to what’s going on today. And please stop comparing Avenatti to Sydney Powell. The guys in prison for attempting to extort money from Nike for C__’s sake!
I’m saying this: These cases have only just begun, but from what I’ve seen so far I’m not impressed. The Trump legal team is going to have to do a lot better.
True. By themselves, affidavits aren’t enough to WIN a case, but they’re enough create a probable cause to investigate further. In Kavanaugh’s case, the accusations could not be verified. In fact, CONTRADICTORY evidence was uncovered that refuted them. These “Voter Fraud Whistleblower Affidavits” ALSO deserve investigation beyond being dismissed by Leftist Judges and media lackeys.
Sidney Powell’s job is not to satisfy a lazy, self-centered Tucker Carlson. He can go satisfy himself.
Dinesh was spectacular! If Tucker is such a great investigative journalist, then why doesn’t *HE* go investigate instead of issuing edicts like a lazy, self-centered GOPe pasha?
It’s not what he does. He’s a yacking TV pundit. A prima donna.
If one wants true investigative journalism and interviews in the visual format, The Epoch Times puts out quality videos – both in-depth, and shorter.
Is that like pulling a Toobin?
Unlike Toobin, Tucker get paid to do it on-camera nightly.
Paid to do it? That makes him a real presstitute.
Hence, the term! (Not to be confused with “pornolists.”) 😉
Poronlists?
You have pictures?
Are they in color?
“Porno-list” was coined during the media’s obsession with Stormy. They’re all over anything salacious (peeing hookers, Playboy bunny affairs, etc.) – no matter how fake.
They’ve been conspicuously absent with the real porn involving Hunter or Toobin. It appears they’re selective about their porn, ha!
(Yes, there are pics…but trust me…)
Well, what abou…….ah, never mind. I’m going to get myself in trouble.
LOL
He may be doing that very thing
Indeed, it’s problematic because his Democrat buddies say the same thing. It’s verbal ju jitsu because the request seems reasonable, but it leads to an endless trail of more evidence and perseveration. The problem is that question sets Tucker up as the arbiter, and Sidney saw right through it and is staying the course. Tucker however revealed himself to be a FOX News shill, just like Me-again, which is disappointing.
Tucker has always been more of a Libertarian than a Conservative, and I’ve never believed he supported Trump OR MAGA. He just brays at whomever he dislikes based on HIS OWN personal agenda.
You may have used the word intentionally, but voting machines’ ability to be manipulated is not a problem, it’s a “feature”. That is, is is *HIGHLY* in the interests of the political class to be able to manipulate these voting machines. Remember when they became available, 0bama’s people brought them in, and the companies had Porge Poros ties? The politicians were *HIGHLY* incentivized to bring them in, like the Iran Deal, and lots of money all of a sudden became available to buy these machines. Why? For the same reason the Iran Deal got done — there were lots of side payments in the form of wealth, status, and power. Nothing could be more obvious.
Hence Powell’s comment that “both democrat and republican party members are involved”. Powell is making no biasing comments limiting her focus to a single political entity.
That’s one thing Trump and Sundance has taught me, that the GOPe like the Bush Crime Family, McCain, Romney, Flake, etc. are just as bad if not worse than the Democrats! Trump forced them to drop their masks, and Sundance did the intellectual groundwork.
I have 4 questions. Why hasn’t Christopher Wray been fired? Why hasn’t the DOJ seized all of the Dominion voting machines in PA, GA, MI, WI, AZ and NZ. and subjected them to audits? As President Trump might say: “what the hell is going on”? That question should be directed to President Trump. Finally, does President Trump want to be reelected?
Pro-tip: The president doesn’t have as much power as people normally think, especially when his interests run counter to the bureaucracy…
President Trump has been forced to make the same decision continuously over his 4 years in office.
Fire the Uni-Party bureaucratic landmines every time they show their heads and spend ALL his time in justifying decisions and searching for somebody to do the job, thereby getting nothing done …. or move forward and govern and unfortunately having to live for long periods of time with the traitorous hemorrhoid nagging him until he time to remove it.
Sundance said it was interesting watching 0bama’s uniparty deep state defend itself with muh Russia, shampeachment, and all manner of delay and deception as you point out.
The President has the power to fire Christopher Wray. In addition to obstructing the coup which Democrats have been engaging in since even before President Trump was inaugurated, Christopher Wray’s FBI was in possession of Hunter Biden‘s laptop as of December 2019. Pro tip 1, from a lawyer: know to whom you are giving tips.
Pro tip 2. Ask obvious questions, such as why hasn’t Wray been fired. It is a question that needs to be asked and answered.
Pro tip 3. It seems that Ms, Powell will able to prove that the Dominion voting machines were designed to facilitate fraud and she may be able to prove by inference that they were in fact used to facilitate fraud. But taking possession of the computers and examining them would enable fraud to be conclusively proven. I am concerned that a court might wonder why the computers were not seized and examined and it might draw an adverse inference that Ms Powell was not confident that the computers were in fact used for the purpose she alleges.
Editing my 11:41 am comment.
I meant to say that Wray has obstructed investigation into the coup against President Trump. Obviously.
I have 4 questions. Why hasn’t Christopher Wray been fired? Why hasn’t the DOJ seized all of the Dominion voting machines in PA, GA, MI, WI, AZ and NZ. and subjected them to audits? As President Trump might say: “what the hell is going on”? That question should be directed to President Trump. Finally, does President Trump want to be reelected?
Y’all don’t understand. These “journalists” KNOW…..they’re either being paid off, forced to look the other way, or they truly are so brainwashed that they honestly feel this is all just a Republican ploy. Either way, God Himself could come down and show everyone the truth and they would refuse to believe it because it doesn’t fall in with their cult-like way of thinking. They don’t CARE. It blows my mind though how they ALL are this way, which points to falling within one of my 3 reasons above. The Cult has them ALL.
Actually, that has already happened. John 1:11 -“He(Jesus)\ came to his own, and His own did not receive Him.” Jesus Christ came down from heaven and most of the Jewish people, especially the religious leaders, rejected Him. So you are 1000% correct that God himself could come down from heaven and they’d refuse to believe they’ve been LIED to about our whole voting system.
I am POSITIVE they skimmed votes away from President Trump is virtually every county in the country, including the one I live in in northern Wisconsin. Sure President Trump won my country but I don’t believe the margin of victory.
It would be an excellent way starting a presentation – showing these machines can indeed be accessed for manipulating the vote count. Then show the data that it happened.
OANN had a whole program on last night about Dominion and their machines concerning these very topics. OANN is a network the does do investigative reporting.
Sidney Powell is a great federal criminal defense attorney but I’m not sure she is an expert on election law (Len Wood certainly isn’t), or computer science. I do hope she really does have “evidence” and has not been led astray by “experts” who are in fact crackpots who don’t know what they’re talking about.
I’m not at all certain the “vote flipping” could have been used as alleged. Too many cross checks, audits, and validations that would reveal the chicanery. I DO fear the Democrats did exactly what we always knew they would do: Stuffed the ballot box on an industrial scale using mail in votes, and the massive number of fraudulent ballots were put into the mix where they are now hopelessly comingled. As in Georgia, you can count them again and again by machine or by hand and you’ll get the same result: Biden with a come-from-behind win courtesy of mail in voting. Without auditing the signatures on the mail-in envelopes (which it appears did not happen at all) the result stands.
The team really needs some subject matter experts.
I have absolutely no doubt that there ARE experts on election law deep into this along side Powell, Giuliani, and the rest of their dedicated team. They aren’t stupid!
Tucker lied.
He stated Sidney did not send him one page of evidince. Sidney said she sent him an affavit.
Both statements are on video.
Who do you believe
Cuckers does not know how to read outside from his telepromter.
Great point! Given their relative incentives and credibility, got to go with Sidney. The work she’s done for LTG Flynn is amazing.
I am contacting all of my duly elected representatives in the senate and house….I’ll be explaining that nearly 100 million american patriots understand that the US government, as it exist in the real time and present policies with DJ Trump, works for us….going back to the prior methods and policies DOES NOT. They need to change to support the Trump mantra …. if not, we will take action to be change their lives for them…… this must come to pass for the republic to survive..I do not accept the government previous to the Trump administration….and will not support my elected representatives if they continue to sit on their hands. Make it count…….
they aren’t interviews.. they are interrogations..
and they are getting very frustrated..
they aren’t gettin’ any..
it means they have nobody on the inside of this one..
..she’s got it all locked up..
Wait! Wait! Don’t leave yet! You gave me the WRONG key!
Fraud and looting is prevented on the front end not after it’s occurred. The doors were left wide open to facilitate both by removing virtually all reasonable precautions widely known to be required to have a secure, trusted election. To see that doesn’t require a law degree or 6 years of journalism courses.
I have another question for Tucker Carlson. Since you believe our voting machines are on the up and up, do you believe all other elections in other countries using theses same type of voting machines are on the up and up? The answer should be yes. If the answer is no, then why do you believe we are SO much more righteous and pure than other countries? Oh, we are the United States and NOTHING like that could happen here. Oh. please. How many pieces of silver did you receive for attacking Sydney Powell Mr. Carlson?
Styx has a pretty good take on Tucker.
who is styx? good video
“I say I say…Son the same people that pay you hate what you say”. -Foghorn Leghorn to Cucker Carlson
I wrote the following on my blog in July 2015 as I struggled to explain the Trump Phenomenon. He had announced the month before and shot to the top of the polls. I watched FOX News and the “panel” on Special Report was horrified by him. I had not found The Treehouse at that time, so I was confused, too. This was written before I found the Treehouse, before I realized that our two party system is only an illusion kept in place by the Globalists. Trump made them rip off their masks in 2015. Today they are completely naked.
Here are excerpts.Keep in mind “the President” then is Barack Obama. “Roberts” is Chief Justice Roberts and the “trade deal” is TPP.
“In 2010, the American electorate elected Republicans to the majority of the House of Representatives. The House tried, but failed to stop the Obama/Democrat/media agenda. The House’s excuse was that without the Senate, there was nothing they could do. So in 2014, the electorate voted the Republicans into the majority in the Senate.
“Nothing changed except now it’s Boehner, McConnell and Roberts who pass the President’s agenda instead of Pelosi and Reid. Terrified of the media accusing them of “shutting the government down”, they let the Obama agenda shut down the country.
“With the recent trade deal, the Republicans handed the President and his allies a double victory. The President got the deal he wanted without his Democratic allies having to vote for it and endanger their standing with Big Labor. It’s called having your cake and eating it, too. And the kick in the head is that the GOP baked the cake.
“Now they’re telling us that in order to get anything done, they need the presidency. ”
…
“The Trump Phenomenon is a nonviolent rebellion, an uprising by a silenced electorate that is tired of being fooled by campaign promises only to watch their representatives grovel at the feet of a media that no longer even bothers to pretend they are objective. But most of all, they’re sending a message to Republicans whom they send to Washington to represent them only to find that once they get there, represent Washington instead. “
Excellent analysis. In order to stop President Trump and still get their way the Democrat media has gone from extremely biased to completely unhinged. It is the enemy.
I’ll add that we gave the GOP the House, Senate and Presidency and the only thing that changed was what the president (Trump) could change by Exec Order. And now they are telling us if we don’t vote the two Georgians into the Senate, we will be sorry. WE ARE ALREADY SORRY!
They are begging for money! I replied saying I only support President Trump! They are all rinos! NO SYMPATHY HERE! WE PUT THEM THERE AND IF TRUMP LOSES THE WAR NO SUPPORT FROM US FOR REPUBLICANS. SCREW THEM.
Paraphrased – PDJT to Don Jr., Fall 2015 – ‘Now we will find out who our friends really are.’
Character is fundamental & truth is not subject to interpretation.
I was surprised by bowtie’s announcement that his program would become bigger. Every action at Fox starting with the 11/3 vote count has been blatant in terms of bias. The ‘bigger show’ was predicated on this liar getting ‘evidence detail’ from PDJT’s legal team. Hence the hissy fit when he did not get what he promised to deliver. This excuse for a journalist will also find out that we do not care to be lied to. The Angle is no better. Maybe two remaining at that media company that retain credibility.
There are no games or excuses in that final court of judgement that every soul has to face. A lifetime of faith, honesty & constant effort to become what He wants of us – I can say without qualification that Treepers & PDJT hold this to be true.
When has faith not been challenged? But, when has faith not won the day? Why do we stand without fear even when betrayed by those we thought of as friends? To borrow a cliche – ‘because we would rather die standing than live on our knees’. Today we are in battle but the war is far from being lost.
I was baffled when Carlson dumped the Hunter Biden laptop story. In my recollection, he said something to the effect that he would not discuss Hunter’s addiction problems out of concern for his ex-wife and children, who were formerly his neighbors. But he seemed to totally ignore any part of what should have been an ongoing investigation. Certainly his core audience would have an intense interest in that story.
Wow! Dinesh D’Souza hits the nail directly on it’s head! Well “investigative media” where in the hell are you????
Indigestive media. People are wallowing in their propaganda.
Well “investigative media” where in the hell are you????
Hanging out with Joe Biden.
Adding up the information we have at this moment it points to the following:
Trump won in a landslide so massive the Dominion voting software algorithm used to flip votes to Biden could not keep up with it without it becoming obvious what it was doing. Some Trump votes were counted as Biden votes, each Biden vote was then counted as 1.23 votes and each Trump vote was counted as .77 votes, and hundreds of thousands of Trump votes were just transferred wholesale from his column to the Biden column, and more. . It happened in every state where Dominion was used. But Trump was still winning and the manipulation was becoming obvious (networks showing fractions of votes).
So they shut down the counting software during the night and frantically manufactured fake paper ballots the old fashioned way to jam through the counting machines, sometimes multiple times, while keeping watchers away, to make up the difference. But they still could not hide their fraud. See some precincts in which more Biden votes were counted than there are people living there, including children.
But here is the big magilla, the 10,000 pound festering gorilla carcass that NO ONE wants to look at, leaked by one comment from Sidney: every democrat got a head start of 35,000 votes. EVERY democrat. EVERY down-ballot Democrat benefited from Dominion-manufactured votes. Holy smoke!
The ENTIRE election was rigged, top to bottom. Read that again.
The fraud is so massive that it should not be a surprise that some, even generally on our side like Tucker Carlson, resist getting their minds around it.
Trapper
Carlson is intellectually dishonest. He gets an idea and runs with it and the facts be damned. His promotion of Sweden has the perfect solution to COVID-19 is a perfect example. He kept saying that Sweden had no lockdown and now it has herd immnity. He never compared Sweden to Norway, a country with which it shares a border. Norway has half Sweden’s population. Both are Nordic countries with similar lifestyles and one would expect similar comorbidites. As of two days ago, Norway has total of 306 deaths and a fatality rate of 56 per million. Sweden has 6406 deaths and a fatality rate of 633 per million. So why was Tucker Carlson extolling Sweden’s approach while ignoring Norway’s approach? Did he have an agenda? Or is he overrated?
Why on earth does Tucker Carlson think he knows more about lawyering than the esteemed Sidney Powell? And he actually thinks that she has time to sit down with him while she is trying to cram two or three years of work into three weeks. He’s a maroon.
Counting votes overseas is a great excuse for our corrupt politicians to have…..Plausible Deniability….
Where did we recently hear this ‘Plausible Deniability’ excuses…??? Senate hearings with Comey, Yates, McCabe etc……Yep….and most recently from Hunter Biden’s partner who specifically said Joe’s brother told him they’d use ‘Plausible Deniability’….
Bruh,
I am thankful mr bowtie swanson’s(cucker) smarmy high pitched yap is banished from my consciousness except for entertainment purposes.
And I am glad I no longer have to sheepherd
conservatives away from his weak milqtoast wolf in plebs clothing ass.
“I No be gentlemen like that!”-Fela
Can the voting software be manipulated? Probably. As long as electoral boards use proprietary software, whose source code cannot be inspected, the answer to this question must be “yes”.
Voting machines are tested before elections by running a known set of test ballots through them, then comparing the actual results with what the results should be. But I’m reminded of the Volkswagen hack, where the car’s software was able to detect when it was being tested, and changed its operation to match the test’s expectations. “Trust me” from the software vendors is not good enough.
IF you have Amazon Prime, Dinesh d’Sousa’s documentary, Hillary’s America is available….awesome!
Also Lee Smith’s documentary on the coup (Deven Nunes story) is there for free w/Prime.
And…no, I don’t need a lecture on the evils of Amazon. I have my reasons for having Prime. We are still America and I choose the membership for reasons specific to my life.
I recommend watching them before some intern cancels them.
Here comes a long post and it starts with this simple statement and question…….
Sidney said in one of her recent interviews that the Kraken HAS already been released and yet PT seems very calm even golfing this past Sat.
So where is the Kraken and what is it?
Some might think the Kraken is the evidence that the lawyers are gathering
Some might think the Kraken are the official lawsuits or SC filings
Some might think the Kraken is possible upcoming declassifications.
I think what Sidney is referring to, is the Kraken is the ACTUAL Investigation or surveillance by possibly USCYBERCOM.
And the first domino of this Kraken being PUBLICLY released was on Sept 12, 2020 BEFORE the Nov election, when PT extended for a year, Executive Order 13848.
Why renew this EO unless you think or KNOW election interference is coming?
So what does EO 13848 allow and do?
Quite simply beyond confiscating assets, it connects election interference with US Code Title 50 War & National Defense as reference within EO 13848. I’ve inserted the verbiage referencing USC 50 below and a link to Title 50. (Note you may want to import this into acrobat for easier searching of words/sections)
Within Executive Order 13848 – Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election is the key linkage and justification to USC 50.
“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,”
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/text-notice-continuation-national-emergency-respect-foreign-interference-undermining-public-confidence-u-s-elections/
So, IMO the actual Kraken is in Title 50 or more specifically within Chapter 36 of Title 50 called Foreign Intelligence Surveillance – section 1802, Part A (ii), which I have listed below.
TITLE 50—WAR AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
Chapter 36. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
§1802. Electronic surveillance authorization without court order; certification by Attorney General; reports to Congressional committees; transmittal under seal; duties and compensation of communication common carrier; applications;
jurisdiction of court
(a)(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at,
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than the spoken communications of individuals, from property or premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign power, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this title;
https://uscode.house.gov/download/annualhistoricalarchives/pdf/2008/2008usc50.pdf
So, now PT has an EO about election interference referenced and justified by using USC Title 50 regarding National Emergency, to conduct Foreign Intelligence Surveillance where he doesn’t need any court order, meaning no DOJ lawyers or FIB involved to possibly block or expose this covert mission.
Question: Now who has the authority to conduct foreign surveillance if you don’t trust the C_A?
Answer: USCYBERCOM.
Who is in charge of USCYBERCOM? General Paul Nakasone who served under Adm Rodgers at Ft. Meade and reports to Sec of Defense. (where a change was recently made as we know.)
In 2017 USCYBERCOM and the NSA were split with USCYBERCOM under Nakasone and NSA under John Ratcliffe.
But did you know that USCYBERCOM has a MOU with the NSA where they can use NSA people when necessary and no violation to US surveillance laws?
I have attached below the key section from the link from DOD Inspector General that confirms this MOU.
NSA signals intelligence activities are authorized under Executive Order 12333, as amended, commonly referred to as “Title 50” foreign intelligence authorities. NSA does not have Title 10 authorities for the conduct of military operations, specifically However, NSA does have Information Assurance Title 10 authorities (10 USC 2224) that apply to. its monitoring of DoD network traffic.
While NSA does not have Title 10 authority for the conduct of military operations authorities, USCYBERCOM does have that authority and was authorized to use NSA personnel to execute its mission. When NSA personnel are integrated into USCYBERCOM, they operate under the direction, supervision, and authorities of USCYBERCOM, subject to any special restrictions or agreement negotiated between NSA and USCYBERCOM.
Those special restrictions are spelled out in the “Memorandum of Understanding Between NSA and USSTRATCOM Regarding Support to USCYBERCOM,” August 9, 2010 (hereafter referred to as the MOU) The MOU provides for NSA employees to be “integrated” into USCYBERCOM and perform USCYBERCOM tasks and mission. In accordance with the MOU, operational control for the NSA integrees will be transferred to Commander, USCYBERCOM while assigned to USCYBERCOM.
https://media.defense.gov/2018/Aug/29/2001960016/-1/-1/1/225_(U)%2011-INTEL-10%20(REDACTED).PDF
So IMO, to put it all together in summary format……
1. PT knew there was and would be election interference.
2. PT knew he could no longer count on or trust the FIB and DOJ
3. So by creating and extending EO 13848 he actually authorized USCYBERCOM to surveil and gather the technical intelligence regarding election interference since Sept 12, 2018 and then with the recent 1 year extension.
4. And by using USCYBERCOM for foreign surveillance under US Title 50 National Emergency, no courts are required and they can work with the NSA due to the MOU.
So my possible conclusions are………
1. PT may have been surveilling many foreigners and foreign companies who have plotted to interfere with our elections since possibly Sept 2018 but I would think for sure since Sept 2020 and thus the extension of EO.
2. They may have captured not only communications but also technical intelligence such as real time vote tallies.
3. Thus why securing the actual servers were important to go along with the comms and technical intelligence evidence that may have been captured.
4. And finally USCYBERCOM may have worked closely with the NSA under John Ratcliffe in this sting, to by-pass, C_A, FIB and everyone in DOJ except Barr. Another reason why we have not heard anything from Ratcliffe since the election.
Bottom line – PT seems too calm, collected and confident to be gambling everything on the whims of state election officials, governors, SOS, district courts and even the SC.
PT is a chess player where moves are planned out well in advance. So, I now think he has an Ace in his pocket and IMO that is months of surveillance and evidence that could very well lead to massive crimes, arrests and the take down of a huge part of the DS.
Very interesting comment and theory there BF.
I’ve read it twice and will have to do it twice more!
btw – Where’s your list of 25 questions?
Based on the ongoing coup, phony impeachment etc. this sort of surveillance could not take place without the deep state knowing about it. It would be nothing short of a miracle for the President to be able to form a trusted team from DOJ, FIB and intelligence agencies. They are thoroughly riddled with deep state. I’m praying for a miracle.
This goes perfectly with the President’s EO from 2018, titled:
Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election. This was issued on: September 12, 2018.
President Trump is playing 4D chess and check mate is coming!
Wow! Very interesting and I will have to read it two more times. Hard to absorb all this! If you are right and I hope you are Lawyers have to reveal all this to courts without anything redacted! Thanks for the post! Are these your theory based on what Sidney said?
Why do you think Wray still not fired?
The other night on NewsMax they brought up a photo of Rudy, Sidney, and Micheal Flynn. I believe it was taken after the news conference. Remember, Obama wanted Flynn out because he knew to much. Maybe he has been working with Ratcliff, USCYBERCOM, and the legal team. It allows him to payback a lot of people who stuck it to him.
Sounds good…I’m in, and hopeful!
But a good piece of evidence, it sounds like, is the Dominion voting machine user manual, which Sidney says explains all the ways to cheat.
I believe her, and would really like to see this manual! I’ve searched online for it, but to no avail.
Does anyone know how to get hold of it?
Such a good and very simple response. Journalists ARE waiting for President Trump’s team to put information out there so they can spend time demeaning it and not finding out the truth for themselves. Thank you Dinesh
Really who cares what Bowtie Tucker thinks? He has a filthy mouth. He once said something vulgar about Gov. Sarah Palin. Another in arrogant ASS.
The media doesn’t want to know…and I don’t think we can shame them into honest investigative journalism. They are shameless! The media is not just silent on things that would be perceived as negative to democrats…they are complicit in pushing false messages and narratives about things like Russian collusion and Spygate and that this was an honest and fair election. I mean Leslie Stahl said there was no evidence Trump’s campaign was spied on! Helloooo! Spygate evidence is very well documented. It’s very frustrating but after the last 4 years I’ve come to the conclusion there is no way to fix the media. President Trump confronted them everyday and they just got worse…more dishonest than ever. They are the “lying media” to me now…and I have no use for them. As far as trying to lead others to the truth about things…I show them where they can read facts and truth and if they persist in arguing against it and refuse to acknowledge truth after being shown facts then I just move on…because not all have eyes to see and ears to hear and at some point it becomes like casting your pearls before swine. You realize the love of the truth is not in them…they are intelligent people that prefer the lie…they’ve made a choice.
“Voting Tuesday” (apologies to Mick Jagger and Kieth Richards)
Joe would never say where votes came from
Envelopes don’t matter if they’re gone
Print more overnight
Next week is still alright
No one knows
Votes all for Joe
Goodbye, Voting Tuesday
Who should hang for failing you?
When votes change with every new day
The press will just dismiss truth
Don’t question if there’s vote security
Dems say it’s racist to ask for an ID
Sleepy Joe just can’t be blamed
For all the cash that Hunter’s gained
And laptops lost
Joe pays no cost
Goodbye, Voting Tuesday
Who could see ‘rats count by two?
They add votes with every new day
A guaranteed wave of blue?
Joe will never lose a Dominion score
Vote insurance bought from a back door
Lying all the time
Loving his mask
He surely lost his mind.
Words he can’t find.
Goodbye, Voting Tuesday
Dems thank China for Coverup Flu
Adding votes in many new ways
Still we just want the truth.
This very existence of this vote flipping ‘feature’ alone is enough to invalidate this system.
It’s like a bank vault with screen door into an alleyway in the back. Its very existence defeats its primary purpose.

ALL NEWS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Although there has been no evidence of a foreign power altering the outcome or vote tabulation in any United States election, foreign powers have historically sought to exploit America’s free and open political system. In recent years, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has created significant vulnerabilities and magnified the scope and intensity of the threat of foreign interference, as illustrated in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat.
Accordingly, I hereby order:
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.
(b) Within 45 days of receiving the assessment and information described in section 1(a) of this order, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate agencies and, as appropriate, State and local officials, shall deliver to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary of Defense a report evaluating, with respect to the United States election that is the subject of the assessment described in section 1(a):
(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.
The report shall identify any material issues of fact with respect to these matters that the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security are unable to evaluate or reach agreement on at the time the report is submitted. The report shall also include updates and recommendations, when appropriate, regarding remedial actions to be taken by the United States Government, other than the sanctions described in sections 2 and 3 of this order.
(c) Heads of all relevant agencies shall transmit to the Director of National Intelligence any information relevant to the execution of the Director’s duties pursuant to this order, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law. If relevant information emerges after the submission of the report mandated by section 1(a) of this order, the Director, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate agencies, shall amend the report, as appropriate, and the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall amend the report required by section 1(b), as appropriate.
(d) Nothing in this order shall prevent the head of any agency or any other appropriate official from tendering to the President, at any time through an appropriate channel, any analysis, information, assessment, or evaluation of foreign interference in a United States election.
(e) If information indicating that foreign interference in a State, tribal, or local election within the United States has occurred is identified, it may be included, as appropriate, in the assessment mandated by section 1(a) of this order or in the report mandated by section 1(b) of this order, or submitted to the President in an independent report.
(f) Not later than 30 days following the date of this order, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence shall develop a framework for the process that will be used to carry out their respective responsibilities pursuant to this order. The framework, which may be classified in whole or in part, shall focus on ensuring that agencies fulfill their responsibilities pursuant to this order in a manner that maintains methodological consistency; protects law enforcement or other sensitive information and intelligence sources and methods; maintains an appropriate separation between intelligence functions and policy and legal judgments; ensures that efforts to protect electoral processes and institutions are insulated from political bias; and respects the principles of free speech and open debate.
Sec. 2. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security:
(i) to have directly or indirectly engaged in, sponsored, concealed, or otherwise been complicit in foreign interference in a United States election;
(ii) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, any activity described in subsection (a)(i) of this section or any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(iii) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property or interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order.
(b) Executive Order 13694 of April 1, 2015, as amended by Executive Order 13757 of December 28, 2016, remains in effect. This order is not intended to, and does not, serve to limit the Secretary of the Treasury’s discretion to exercise the authorities provided in Executive Order 13694. Where appropriate, the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, may exercise the authorities described in Executive Order 13694 or other authorities in conjunction with the Secretary of the Treasury’s exercise of authorities provided in this order.
(c) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the date of this order.
Sec. 3. Following the transmission of the assessment mandated by section 1(a) and the report mandated by section 1(b):
(a) the Secretary of the Treasury shall review the assessment mandated by section 1(a) and the report mandated by section 1(b), and, in consultation with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, impose all appropriate sanctions pursuant to section 2(a) of this order and any appropriate sanctions described in section 2(b) of this order; and
(b) the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the heads of other appropriate agencies, shall jointly prepare a recommendation for the President as to whether additional sanctions against foreign persons may be appropriate in response to the identified foreign interference and in light of the evaluation in the report mandated by section 1(b) of this order, including, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, proposed sanctions with respect to the largest business entities licensed or domiciled in a country whose government authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported election interference, including at least one entity from each of the following sectors: financial services, defense, energy, technology, and transportation (or, if inapplicable to that country’s largest business entities, sectors of comparable strategic significance to that foreign government). The recommendation shall include an assessment of the effect of the recommended sanctions on the economic and national security interests of the United States and its allies. Any recommended sanctions shall be appropriately calibrated to the scope of the foreign interference identified, and may include one or more of the following with respect to each targeted foreign person:
(i) blocking and prohibiting all transactions in a person’s property and interests in property subject to United States jurisdiction;
(ii) export license restrictions under any statute or regulation that requires the prior review and approval of the United States Government as a condition for the export or re-export of goods or services;
(iii) prohibitions on United States financial institutions making loans or providing credit to a person;
(iv) restrictions on transactions in foreign exchange in which a person has any interest;
(v) prohibitions on transfers of credit or payments between financial institutions, or by, through, or to any financial institution, for the benefit of a person;
(vi) prohibitions on United States persons investing in or purchasing equity or debt of a person;
(vii) exclusion of a person’s alien corporate officers from the United States;
(viii) imposition on a person’s alien principal executive officers of any of the sanctions described in this section; or
(ix) any other measures authorized by law.
Sec. 4. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 2 of this order.
Sec. 5. The prohibitions in section 2 of this order include the following:
(a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 6. I hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of such persons. Such persons shall be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
Sec. 7. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 8. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization;
(c) the term “United States person” means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person (including a foreign person) in the United States;
(d) the term “election infrastructure” means information and communications technology and systems used by or on behalf of the Federal Government or a State or local government in managing the election process, including voter registration databases, voting machines, voting tabulation equipment, and equipment for the secure transmission of election results;
(e) the term “United States election” means any election for Federal office held on, or after, the date of this order;
(f) the term “foreign interference,” with respect to an election, includes any covert, fraudulent, deceptive, or unlawful actions or attempted actions of a foreign government, or of any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, undertaken with the purpose or effect of influencing, undermining confidence in, or altering the result or reported result of, the election, or undermining public confidence in election processes or institutions;
(g) the term “foreign government” means any national, state, provincial, or other governing authority, any political party, or any official of any governing authority or political party, in each case of a country other than the United States;
(h) the term “covert,” with respect to an action or attempted action, means characterized by an intent or apparent intent that the role of a foreign government will not be apparent or acknowledged publicly; and
(i) the term “State” means the several States or any of the territories, dependencies, or possessions of the United States.
Sec. 9. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 2 of this order.
Sec. 10. Nothing in this order shall prohibit transactions for the conduct of the official business of the United States Government by employees, grantees, or contractors thereof.
Sec. 11.

Wouldn’t it be great if we had some kind of federal investigative body to go ask those kinds of questions, and some prosecutorial entity to back them up?
Interesting convo with Bill Whittle.
Really no point in constantly telling everyone how unfair the media is. WE KNOW, already. The issue is what to do about it.
But Tucker IS doing his job. Trying to discredit Trumps legal team and their evidence.
He is doing his part in the Communist coup.
