The Lawfare activists are screaming foul because the Arizona Senate is not turning over documents from ongoing investigative measures taking place during the audit of Maricopa County. The group known as American Oversight is a Lawfare group working on behalf of the DNC and allied left-wing activists. They have filed suit against the Arizona senate trying to find evidence they can use to marginalize the audit before the findings are made public.
Seemingly pretending not to know about the separation of power between the state legislative body and the state judicial branch, the activists are filing suits to get access to the evidence in an ongoing Senate investigation. Essentially, this is akin to demanding to sue for legislative content before the Senate can create the law and/or the harm from that law.
It is a clear Lawfare fishing expedition.
Remember, in order for far-left ideologues to advance their ideology, and/or ideological narratives, they must pretend not to know things. Another way to look at this is the Arizona Senate subpoena -which initiated the audit- is akin to an ongoing investigation. The Lawfare group are trying to get custody of details of the investigative techniques being used (forensic audit) in order to undermine the investigation itself.
To advance this narrative the leftists are using another Alinsky maneuver: “make your opposition live up to their own rules”. The Lawfare tribe is accusing the Arizona Senate of not being transparent in their process.
An easy smack-down (with a current familiarity) would be to juxtapose this Lawfare demand against the House Judiciary Committee as they worked to assemble the articles of impeachment behind closed doors. The leftist tribe would clutch their pearls if anyone sued them to find out in advance what details were being assembled in the articles before they were made public…. but that’s essentially what their demand is in Arizona.
PHOENIX — Senate President Karen Fann is taking the position that Arizona courts cannot force her or any other member of the Arizona Legislature to comply with the state’s Public Records Act.
In a new court filing, attorney Kory Langhofer, who represents the Prescott Republican and the entire Senate, is asking Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp to throw out a claim by a self-described nonpartisan watchdog group to get access to all documents and materials related to the Senate’s audit of the 2020 election results.
The Senate has, or will produce documents in its possession, Langhofer said. Ditto with those in the possession of Ken Bennett, who was tapped by Fann to be her liaison with Cyber Ninjas, the private company hired to conduct the audit. The only exception, Langhofer said, are those documents protected as privileged or confidential.
He said, though, what American Oversight wants are documents that are in the hands of Cyber Ninjas or other companies it has, in turn, hired as subcontractors. Langhofer said the Public Records Act does not apply to private companies. And he rejected arguments by attorney Roopali Desai that the records are public because the only reason Cyber Ninjas got the materials in the first place was because they were subpoenaed by the Senate.
But Langhofer has a backup legal argument just in case the judge does not read the scope of the Public Records Act as narrowly as he does. He told Kemp he has no jurisdiction in the fight.
The Arizona law spells out that public records and other matters in the custody of any officers “shall be open to inspection by any person at all times during office hours.” Langhofer concedes that the Senate is a “public body” and lawmakers are “public officers” who, in any other circumstance, would be covered by the law. Only thing is, he said, they are not subject to it.
“The Arizona Constitution entrusts each house of the Legislature plenary power to order its own internal procedures and affairs,” Langhofer wrote. (read more)
How about an even swap? Audit results for the files that Obama got from intelligence on all Americans, especially Congress, judges, politicians, and those who work in government. Both sides of the aisle!
including all the data – or the scope of the data (not wanting to hurt fellow Americans with further damage to privacy) picked up by the NSA under Obama
including data picked up from people using the Angry Birds app
how about this… if a judge orders records turned over, just ignore him.
Absolutely! The commies ignore rulings they don’t agree with. If the glove doesn’t fit, you must ignore.
Do the same thing the democrats do with their lawfare, DRAG IT OUT, APPEAL ENDLESSLY, ASK FOR EXTENSIONS, until their work is done and the report is released.
The fact that it sucks to be Lawfare right now makes me happy. Just like when Jesus turned over the money changers tables
Its what they do ignore all laws
I fully expect that the audit of Maricopa county, when released will cause a full blown shyte storm against the other 5 states that used the biggest cities in those states for the election coup of 2020.
Sooner or later in this epic shyte storm people will be injured and killed over the fraud that was committed against all voters in the United States.
The blame for every bit of this needs to be vocally and forcefully laid at the doorstep of the Supreme Court. The States that saw the fraud tried to stop it and the cowards with robes on turned their backs on the people of this country. The Supreme Court was nothing but COWARDS.
They are to blame for all that is coming.
John Roberts is the most blackmailed SC justice in history. and a full on COWARD to boot.
I’ve often thought that the ONLY reason Roberts has for his rulings is exactly that: blackmail.
It’s possible that he has zero backbone, too. Either explanation fits.
They must have ALOT of dirt on roberts
He needs to hang
I very much agree!
What scares me however, is when the feces hit the fan, those cowards on the SC will “duck and cover” by resigning and hiding off shore. I could give a rip about them not getting prosecuted themselves. What scares me more is if they resign, the Joe and the Ho get to appoint new “just-uses”, then we will really be screwed….
The Left is going to go nuts over this audit. Big Tech will censor it.
Big Tech will try.
Don’t let ’em.
If the Audit is truthful and factual, the video’s of Mike Lindell already tell what’s in the Audit. They have the actually data of the Crime when it was committed and who did it. Also Nations in action have loads of proof.
What Difference Does Proving a Stolen Election Make? All the Difference in the World

FTA: “We are a nation of laws.”
I used to believe that, but there is so much disregard for the rule of law by the Uniparty, by the Blue States, by the Judiciary from bottom to top, by the DOJ, etc. etc. Maybe I’m having a bad day, but it seems that the enemy is purging the military to make it safer for a Martial Law declaration by Biden at the right moment. The article might be describing that moment…
Bill Barr destroyed the rule of law in America. Another full on traitor.
Groups like Lawfare simply exist to demonstrate how thoroughly the power of the Judiciary can be abused to protect the civil rights of all 58 of those very nice voters who lived in that one house … ?
That is exactly right.They need to get people attached to the address they used for fake ballots. They need to get pallets of paper from china delivered to printing contractors and put into inventory. They need to cover the ip addresses of who gained remote access to the tabulators. Then and most importantly they need to dispatch the clinton hit squad to clean up anyone who would reveal the truth!
Does there exist between Runbeck and Maricopa County election officials a NonDisclosure Agreement? And might this be why they refuse to turn over routers?
The Left is in a panic as they are worried their criminality will be exposed. In a sane world, no one would oppose investigation into anything that was performed free and fairly. The entirety of the Left has been screaming how “free and fair” the 2020 election was yet they oppose any and all scrutiny over any of it with hundreds of lawyers, dozens of suits, and every nonsensical judicial and political maneuver.
Stevie Wonder can see the fraud.
God bless those who are trying to save our nation from the enemy which lies within the gate. We also must support and bless those who are taking all the risk. The time has come.
Anyone with half a brain can see that the Nov 2020 election was outright stolen.
Kerry added 118,166 votes in Maricopa in ’04.
Obama added 97,677 votes in Maricopa in ’08.
Clinton added 100,619 votes in Maricopa in ’16
Biden added 337,867 votes in Maricopa in ’20.
“I want you to be Andrew Breitbart” says the Treeper header. There is reason for this. AB developed a method that destroys the media narrative.
First, don’t release hardly anything but generalities. The left will take that and run their lies trying to undermine whatever issue is at stake. Let them speculate and lie.
Second, release a small portion of the damning evidence and the media will go crazy painting it as bogus or conspiracy or lies. Let them speculate and lie.
Third, release the best evidence that supports the issue and totally proves the point and that the media is a bunch of liars.
Unfortunately too many republicans still don’t understand. They come out and spill their beans all in one load and then just let the media make a mockery of them, at the same time the republican has nothing more to counter the lying narrative.
Lets hope AB is out there somewhere in AZ getting in the heads of the auditors.
Fury as New York prosecutors drop looting charges against HUNDREDS arrested during riots last summer – with Manhattan DA ‘too busy building his case against Trump’
I went to my LD meeting yesterday and listened to people who are helping with the audit. They didn’t tell us anything except when you hear rumors stop it because it just makes their job less credible. This isn’t the only audit going on in AZ. This is the McCain stain bought and paid for by CCP/Soros. So glad we can start draining the swamp.
Awh Bless their little hearts, Cry about it. Don’t Care. Yet they will keep trying to do something to screw this great thing up so it turns to benefit them. Be ever Vigilant if not the Evil will catch you off guard.
Here is what I know from 11/3/2021 – a nothing nobody “average” American.
Five states, six precints, four hours all stopped counting votes in America.
I’ve been watching polticis for 35 years – the only time I REALLY pay attention is when corruption happens, and nothing about the 2020 debacle was normal. J.B. and Kammie – are NOT NORMAL – from the aides telling reporters to “wrap it up, let’s go” to J.B’s crazy, abnormal behavior.
PENNSYLVANIA (my home state) STILL feels their votes were *stolen* and are STILL hopping mad at Philly – the counties in question are: Philadelphia, Montgomery County, Allegheny County. ALL VOTED FOR TRUMP in massive ways, because PA is a fossil fuel state – they knew well and truly what J.B. would do – the AMISH came out en mass for TRUMP – they drove their horse drawn buggy’s to VOTE TRUMP – they NEVER get political – but they KNEW what was on the line – and did. Lastly, if you know anything about PA – they’d tell you if they didn’t vote for TRUMP – they would say “nope, he was awful – BIDEN all the way” problem is….THEY VOTED FOR TRUMP and no one on this earth can convince me J.B. pulled more votes than Barak Obama >>>IN PHILLY<<<< no way in friggin’ heck he did that.
How about this one…
Bwahahahahhhaaa!
No.
The amount of time and money leftists groups spend to suppress the evidence shows you how explosive the evidence is. Arizona is the first domino to fall. Others will follow. Expect things to get really dicey leading up to the 2022 mid-terms.
They want to control the leaks so when results are public they already infested the opinion
I pray this audit is just the first, and uncovers the Treason of the coup! Please televise the hangings!
Really appreciating the courage of the AZ Senate.
I’m sorry but I hate these people. I cannot breathe the same air as they do. Get them out of my country. Secession is the only way free people can live.
