There is a lot about this video update released today from the Arizona Republican Party that triggers alarm bells. Apparently, the Arizona Republican Chairwoman Kelli Ward is not familiar with the process Maricopa County officials and State Senate leadership have agreed to.
Ms. Ward does not know what role the arbiter, mediator or “special master” will play in selecting the group who will provide the Senate with details of the router and splunk logs. Nor is Ms. Ward aware of the ideology, motives and intents of former congressman John Shadegg who has been selected as the “special master” in charge of fulfilling the senate request(s).
.
John Shadegg was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994, serving 16 years before his retirement in 2010 as the Tea Party wave moved in. Shadegg was a close professional ally of Senator John McCain and currently remains close friends with Cindy McCain. In the typical mindset of the ‘Never Trump’ GOPe , “Mr. Shadegg, in an interview, said party leaders’ crusade against illegal immigration had damaged Republicans statewide and hurt their chances of drawing the growing body of Hispanic voters.”
A lawyer with offices in Phoenix and Washington DC, John Shadegg is a big time open-border and immigration amnesty activist, completely allied with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable. Shadegg is most certainly aligned to protect the interests of the corrupt cocktail class that runs Maricopa County elections.
I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I was ALWAYS skeptical the AZ Audit process would be allowed to produce the results we all hoped for.
I say allowed because powerful forces MUST keep the proof of the stolen election from getting into the wider public sphere. Sure, a lot of people–perhaps even most–suspect the election was stolen, or think there were shenanigans, but what is needed is solid, irrefutable proof that it was stolen.
If that proof was ever produced and introduced into the wider public domain–and withstood challenges–it would crater the legitimacy of the Ruling Class and elections going forward, or at least until there were true election reforms.
The. Ruling. Class. Will. Not. Let. That. Happen–PERIOD!
Agreed. When lawful subpoenas were ignored and lawfare went as far as getting the DOJ involved I knew the audit officials were against it. The dems did everything to hide from the audit. That told me there was something there but the auditors were hopelessly outmatched. I’m hoping I’m wrong.
My fellow Romans above are on target: this was predictable, unfortunately.
The problem remains: whom does one arrest, prosecute, and execute first for treason for stealing a presidential election for The Manchurian Marionette and the Chinese Communist Party?
Your question presumes that a properly functioning nation exists with properly functioning institutions. Sorry, that train left the station last November (if not decades ago). It is far too late to fix the current unjust and dishonest situation by using the normal agencies which are now essentially controlled by the unjust and the dishonest.
Indeed, what happens with the Arizona audit is going to prove quite telling: if they can get the information out fully and properly, that will be a very good thing. But as Sundance’s piece here suggests, might be time to lower expectations….
We are now in a state of asymmetric war but unfortunately one side (ours) is unaware of it and even if aware has little inclination or resources with which to wage it.
Red states need to impose strict reforms now whether or not they believe they have fraud.
The legitimacy of the ruling class is already cratering.
Things probably need to get much worse before they’re going to get better, sadly.
The problem with that logic is that – if things get much worse, no method or avenue will exist to make them get better.
Cons tend to be suckered by hyperbole, hopium, and copium found in places like The Gateway Pundit. Their naivete is so damn tiresome.
Imho Reflexive cynicism is whats not only “damn tiresome” but lethal.
Rather than spreading hope crushing, energy draining GUESSES, I wish doomcasters would instead pray for all involved and then allow God to work with them and through them.
We are in a Do or Die war. Choosing foxhole companions is easy and increasingly vital.
Bottom line, thank God for His gift of Hope and those who have accepted His gift. They have the energy to keep fighting and the strength to overcome “impossible” odds. ?
The minute they announced the “Covid Delay”, I dropped all hope. It’s a typical gov’t tactic – delay, delay, delay.
Fann is scared.
Ditto! I had been tracking this closely and when that delay was announced, I knew the fix was in.
*sigh*
Agreed. Since Trump’s Presidency I won’t believe anything until I see it. And even then…
Special Master? Special Massa, maybe.
Karen Fann is faking it. This just shows how deep the rot goes.
They do not intend to give us Honest Elections ever again.
“Karen Fann is faking it.” You bet, Gipper.
Anyone praising Fann, Ward and too many to list, DO NOT.
FACT: Arizona is Mafia run. From Ducey, to Brnovich, to its head… ASU prez Michael Crow!
Pharissee Saul should have been rejected and never allowed to become St Paul? Repentance is impossible?
In your world”bad” people can’t do “good” things nor can “good” people do ” bad” things? How sad.
The question is, did we ever have honest elections?
Certainly not since widespread use of voting machines but many elections before then were tainted – like JFK’s. I very much doubt that Trump’s was totally honest either, albeit quite possibly his military intelligence allies just blocked the Clinton steal – much to their surprise. How could they complain that their stealing algorithms were blocked or hacked? Ha Ha Ha!
Trump may or may not have been for real, I honestly can’t tell, but he sure went along with way too much Deep State BS again and again so whether witting or not his was just another Controlled Opposition candidacy and Presidency.
Now the nation is being torn asunder in so many ways, demoralized, fractured, disoriented, cognitively dissonanced. These things don’t just happen without years of preparation so I suspect the entire Trump Presidency was a set up for precisely this sort of Great Reset scenario. These things (aka wars) usually take at least five years so we are only getting towards the end of the beginning and have a long way to go before we are anywhere near the beginning of the end. By then the world will probably look very different.
Unless Sundance’s plan works to take back America!!
“Fann is faking it”. Source: I’m anonymous but trust me? Response: No. Your appeal to authority is rejected, dear character assassin.
The traitors spent years preparing to steal the 2020 election. That preparation included, of course, preparing for any audit process.
The Special Master may as well be Humpty Dumpty. Re-constructing, coherently, the 2020 election, is not possible.
All Treesters need to read the transcript of Douglas Frank posted here by Stillwater. The election results were programmed into the voting machines months in advance, based on the 2010 census. The incoherence of the recorded results was exactly the point. The election was a simulation.
Canada, today, is holding a federal election. To vote you must present government ID. You then mark your X on a paper ballot, then you drop your ballot into a large cardboard box. When the polls close, the returning officer will count the votes, then phone the results into a central office. The election will effectively be complete a few hours after the polls close. In other words, the way America used to do it.
Audits, like Russian collusion, like so much else, is a distraction. All efforts by conservatives and Republicans should be on a return to paper ballots and government ID. Nothing else will matter, in the end.
not what the reports coming from Canada say…record number of m,ail-in ballots requiring further DAYS to count in total…same BS they pull here, waiting to see the needed votes and then producing them to JUST win
Surely one more step backward for democracy, eh Kroesus?
They have the template.
AZ audit, The Promo To Nowhere
It’s rigged, who said that?
As I said in Apr or May, get ready for disappointment.
The GOP cannot be reformed. It must be destroyed.
In my teens I remember having a conversation with my father. We were discussing America’s unwillingness to defeat its opponents and how that had changed after WWII.
He said it was a dangerous thing not to destroy your enemy. It emboldens him. He will adapt and will continue to try to destroy you.
So true. Actually, it’s like the non-sterlizing Covid vaccines that lesson the symptoms of Covid but don’t kill the virus. They encourage the virus to adapt. As a result, the virus will eventually be completely vaccine-resistant.
The GOP is just like the Covid vaccines. It temporarily slows down the enemy but never seriously threatens it and never comes close to destroying it. As a result, the enemy just keeps re-grouping and coming back more powerful. This has gone on for more than 20 years, and we are now witnessing the result: Stolen elections, right out in the open, and no recourse.
Great analogy
Typical repugs cluster. We had them on the ropes. They were told they had 30 days to comply. They responded… Go stuff it. Instead of throwing them in jail, they signed off on this master…bater to throw us under the bus.
If the shoe were on the other foot, the Senate would be in the Florence supermax by now.
I am soooo disgusted with the repugs. One click away from assuming the the no ma’s position with these wankers.
They didn’t and don’t have the power to throw them in jail. They were using the threat of withholding State funds to try and force compliance. The Senate’s subpoena has no criminal enforcement power. If they get the router logs then great, if they don’t, it won’t change what they already found with the physical ballots.
This is why Biden went to PA and not AZ. He knew the McCain people in AZ would kill the audit.
If the GOP can’t be reformed then our Republic will be destroyed and every human beings only option will be a martyrs death or eternal death. Why root for such hell?
The Republic has already been destroyed. It’s just a matter of time before the shooting starts.
All this is making me wonder, just where *Republican* votes come from?
The real Kraken is us.
I knew someone named clawhammer once!
Not surprising.
So… how about Georgia? Yeah nothing there. Pennsylvania? More huffing and puffing.
Republicans – RATS to the core.
Far worse than rats. Thst is being way to kind.
Rats are actually very loving and sociable, and have been proven to care more for strangers of their own kind than most people are… A rat will work tirelessly to aid an unknown rat in distress, trying to provide comfort when unable to do anything else. Rats are also extremely loyal and affectionate, and love to play. When was the last time a Rep pol did anything to help someone in dire circumstances out, or provide comfort to an ailing or grieving unknown voter (to our knowledge, at least)… Please call these people what they really are. From a 5 decade rat-mom who knows
The fakeNews media is at war with the truth.
We ARE in a war though we dare not admit it.
So did anyone really expect anything to come of this or any investigation into anything ??????
Sheep gonna be sheep
I think the main tactic is to keep giving people reason to hope – like the QAnon op. Now we have people hoping that the election results can be republished so that there can be a huge swing to the right in 2022 to ‘take back Congress’. So that will keep hope alive at least until November 2022.
The purpose of keeping hope alive is that people who have hope of something good happening in the future do not organize any substantive resistance today.
Elementary, Dear Watson!

Board of Supervisors Meeting 9-17-21:
If it’s any indication as to who has to do the heavy lifting on audits and in righting this foundering American ship:
In Pennsylvania, ATVPA is doing more to get a meaningful audit underway than the entire Republican controlled legislature is. And the GOP completely dominates the PA legislature.
And that same Republican controlled legislature are the ones who introduced and passed Act 77, allowing mail in voting – and allowing the 2020 steal in PA. Even Mastriano voted for Act 77. Tom Wolf didn’t even ask for it or want it.
‘Our own people’ in the GOP stabbed us in the back on institutionalized mail in voting fraud.
It’s up to us to get this done. The People. Our governments are corrupted from top to bottom, and will need a sustained purge, starting from the bottom. Fight local, and climb from there. Don’t worry about DC yet. Your war is LOCAL. Be aware, you will confront RINOs even at the municipal level.
Donald Trump may have saved America, by exposing it for what it has become, to Americans. America has been under attack since its founding. So far, it’s still standing. Now is our time’s ordeal to fight for it like our ancestors did.
We don’t need audits. We need arrests and prosecutions.
A state which did not follow election laws passed by the state legislature did not have an election.
Private organizations – the Democrat and Republican parties – called non-election processes “elections” and installed their choice of personnel in the Executive.
We need prosecutions and executions
unless you go full anarchist, arrests and prosecutions typically require some semblance of PROOF…hence the audits
There is ample proof already in the public record regarding Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. Administrators in those states did not follow the law.
During WW2 did successful prosecutions, including the famous Nuremberg Trials, happen before the war was won? Why expect a different sequence of events during this WW?
Want successful prosecutions? FOCUS on helping to win the skirmishes and battles going on everywhere.
No. Trump showed how corrupt government is. Congress and his executive fought him every step of his administration.
In fact the Executive has been nulled. The country is being run by brat-rats
So far it has been letdown after letdown after letdown. We know the RINO’s are really Democrats in disguise; however, you’d think people who are supposed to be on “our” side would wake up and vet people properly.
I am so tired of this. I am tired of hearing about covid and mandatory vax’s, tired of hearing Mike Lindell (God Bless him, I love him, but so far I’m not seeing results, just talk), tired of the corruption in every office of government; from federal all the way down to local school boards. Illegal immigration is sickening, the money being wasted all all levels is disgusting. I’m just sick of all of it! Believe me if I could strike a match and burn the damn system to the ground and start over, I’d do it.
The people here on the Tree House are the only sane people out there.
The Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, was the CEO of Landmark Communications. Landmark Communications has been running socialists as Republicans for 2 decades. I will bet there is a similar organization in every state
Lindsey Graham has found the sweet spot.
Run as a conservative, but serve the corporatists and globalists.
Duplicity is gold. Say one thing today, another tomorrow. Mitch McConnell was his mentor. Fauci has learned this lesson.
Poor Donald Trump thought patriotism would overcome globalism or simple corruption. I sadly don’t see the evidence he has learned his lesson.
On here is “out there”? Fortunately that’s not true but believing its true could explain doomer vision and fatigue. Passively waiting is stressful. Engaged doing is energizing and helps time fly.
The opening phase of the war – akin to artillery barrage in conventional war – is designed to demoralize and disorient. This is all very difficult to endure for any decent person.
Well let’s prepare for another disappointment. At every turn we lose and the globalists win.
Depends on where YOU choose to look and on how you choose to interpret whats seen. Those who want gloomy, despair inducing movies make gloomy movies. Personally, that’s not my genre.
Is this really Sundance…
Something is off?
The whole thing is like an emotional roller coaster.
All you have to do is read the agreement (sorry I don’t have a link but it is out there). Maricopa county holds all the cards. AZ senate gave them all the cards. Maricopa county has complete control of the “special master” and his investigation.
Big mistake on the AZ senate in regard to routers and splunk logs. They gave Maricopa County full control. What the he’ll is going on? AZ senate has been had! Great effort by AZ senate until now, but they caved. We’ll see what happens but does not look good. Bad Deal!
It’s all theater.
If an elected President can be assassinated by one individual with an old weapon incapable of accuracy, with a magic bullet, and the deed be covered up for 50 plus years, what hope is there of honesty and truth?
“That’s a bingo!!”
So Shadegg will be another Milley and Deep State muck up everything he touches? ?
However, he can’t stop most of the audit, just a piece of it.
Well, the fix is in. I thought it might happen, no way is the deep state going to allow release of any incriminating info in the big steal.
Nothing to see here, move along……..
The Deep State has six ways to Sunday to prevent truth and justice.
We can now look forward to being mocked through the 2022 mid terms and glorious virtue signaling by our betters on our pure as snow elections.
Never trusted Fann and Kelli Ward is just dumb.
I did trust Wendy Rogers though.
Paper ballots.
Anything else is just dumb.
Let them go back to searching Al Franken’s car trunk for extra votes.
No system is perfect, but electronic voting machines permit fraud on an infinite scale.
Been saying this from the beginning. Just more hopeium.
Republicans ran block for the Democrats by wasting our time.
I was disturbed by her lack of knowledge about the “deal” as well.
Alarm bells were going off the moment that Karen Fann said she agreed to having John Shadegg be involved at all.
He is a total anti-American activist who sold out to special interest long ago. The people of this state can’t stand the weasel, and anything he is even remotely involved in will ALWAYS be suspect as being corrupted much like he is!
The people of this state will accept nobody less than Colonel Waldron’s forensic data team to perform the audit on the splunk logs and dominion machines and routers. They and they alone will KNOW if the data has been eliminated, altered or revised.
Let the communist leaning BOS have their “expert” and we the people have ours – run it simultaneously and compare the results – just keep that weasel Shadegg away from it so we know what is found. None of these communist sell-outs will ever serve in a political position again – and they DO NOT deserve to. Either we are a free country or we are what these sell-outs want us to be – communists.
“Lower our Expectations”? They have never risen to be anything more than a way of the state placating the people – they NEVER have had a real desire to expose the truth – Michael Crow won’t let them.
My understanding is the audit computer experts (cyber ninjas) will tell the special master what do. By having SM Shadegg the chain of custody is preserved. I still have hope
This is a repost from the original article on this topic:
THIS IS NOT A WIN for anyone except the MCBOS. Nick Moseder and Gail Golec break it down “the contract” line for line. It should never have been authorized by anyone in the Senate, PERIOD.

AZ Senate to County BOS
Please answer the following (select one)
Were the routers connected to the internet?
A) No
B) Definitely Not
C) Absolutely no chance
The good news is that after almost 5 years of promises undelivered from Q, Hannity, Sessions, Durham, Wood, Linden, Powell, Barr, etc. our side has been put through a lot conditioning to prepare us for this. But dont worry, we can avoid the pain if we just trust the plan!
Promises? Lol. Why comments about something you haven’t bothered to personally research, vet and ponder using primary sources? Why inject divisive parroted talking points demeaning allies? Please consider refocusing. Hopefully survival instincts and threat awareness will kick in soon.
So the web site is full of surrender monkeys tonight before anything even happens.
One little word of caution and you all get the vapors.
Yeah? Kick me again only this time do it like you mean it.
What do you expect will happen?
Blessed are they that expect nothing for they shall not be disappointed.
I expect to wait until the shot is fired before I decide whether it hit the target or not.
.
Especially since Dr. Ward is a Republican Party ‘official’, not a part of the AZ Senate . . .
Let’s see Kelly Ward, the RNC Chairperson in AZ, said when the audit began that there will NO change to the 2020 Election outcome.
Crawl back into your mushroom cellar and eat a few. Then tell us what to expect.
BINGO and BRAVO. Time for a new foxhole as the storm draws nearer?
GOP is either bought and paid for or intimidated by three letter agencies. This is all kabuki. Hopium. Don’t waste your time.
I used to watch a LOT of football (I still love football- but have turned off the NFL, like many). I have seen MANY a play, but I have never seen, until the last year: A punter who takes the snap, holds it as long as he can while the rush comes in defensively, and then punts it to…
the punter, at the line of scrimmage- who then prepares to punt it, again.
But this seems to be a normal play, now? Again, I don’t watch it, now. I miss the game-
Just not the kneeling and hatred of America. :/ Does this happen in the NFL a lot now, too?
I, for one, am tired of the hype and speculation. Just release the results of the audit.
The truth will be told.
There was election fraud. The polls shut down on November 3, 2020 to assess the damage and enable the ballot dump.
People’s heads must roll, and we must keep fighting until this outcome is achieved and President Trump is seated as the rightful winner.
It does no good to speculate the AZ audit. Just wait and see what happens. It is then what it is and what it isn’t can be discussed productively.
Waiting and waiting is the point Fangdog.
Is this Lindsey Graham?
God bless you for offering commonsense advice. Personally, I’m navigating by saying AAs Serenity Prayer, praying for all involved and staying busy doing what I can to help our War Effort.
The results are supposedly being made known on Friday. But now it seems, that it’s been a lot of hype. Akin to being promised, a fine wine and a date with Miss Universe, and finding out you’re getting, a gallon of Ripple and a date with pelosi.
Jovan Pulitizer said there is far more there than many realize….his info has been rock solid to date…no reason to doubt him at this point
Jovan does have a stellar reputation. Hoping for some eye opening results.
This entire “agreement” is a sham – even a 5 year old child KNOWS that the access to the routers (that we will NOT get) has NOTHING to do with either operations or the access to “sensitive data” – a router is a gateway for data distribution only – it sends and receives data only – it is NOT a server – it is a router.
These communist sell-outs think the people of this state are really stupid. Shadegg will do EVERYTHING he can to sell this lie – much like the liar he has always been – he never has had any integrity!
If the Senate agreed to this then they are part of the lie and the coverup!
Sundance has triggered all those that have been putting out fake posts for the past 6 months that were duped into repeating all the wrong facts. Karen Finn was prepared to present the audit as is without the router information. Presented correctly and factually that would have simply been icing on the cake.
I honestly don’t understand what these people want America to be. Is it a grudge? Is it the feeling of power? Is it a better America they see?
We are in God’s hands.
““The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”
Praying for Divine intervention.
How about boots on the ground?
Absolutely willing to go there.
We need a brand new political party that has rules stopping any of it’s members from running for more than two terms in office and not allowing them to take any donations from businesses and limit all donations to $300 a person. Such a party would win the hearts of Americans. They would not need to spend millions on advertising as they would have the peoples trust. Only constitutionalists who have no history of politics would be allowed to run for office.
ALL unconstitutional…they can make the rules but there is no legal way to enforce them…as some of the uniparty candidates have offered self-imposed term limits then broken their promise
Karen will get a multi million blood deal. Legal money laundering.
Book
I think people fail to understand our current situation.
Any state which did not follow election laws passed by the state legislature did not have an election. There were several such states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, to name a few.
Private organizations – the Democrat and Republican parties – called those states’ non-election processes “elections”.
The Party decided – not The People, who were duped by theater. The Democrat and Republican parties have decapitated the Executive branch. The machinery of the Executive continues, but The Party rules.
The persons occupying the presidency and vice-presidency are doing so illegitimately. Additionally, the person occupying the vice-presidency is ineligible for the office – per Supreme Court precedence.
Furthermore, the Speaker of The House conspired with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to obstruct the prior president’s chain of command.
The presidency, the vice-presidency, the Speaker of The House – there is no successor defined.
This situation was brought about by the Democrat’s large scale attack on the election process of multiple states and massive ballot fraud, and by the Republicans complaisant complicity.
I think a lot of us understand that very well. We find ourselves living in a new America where the rule of law no longer matters, with the left pushing hard every day to break this nation while the right does nothing about it (or worse, are overtly or covertly complicit). It is quite shocking and so many things seem like they should be a no brainer to fix as we wonder how such a cascade of things could occur w/no push back or Constitutional/legal consequence? And yet it happened, and continues to happen, and here we are. We are living through the transformation of our country, witnessing it and experiencing it in real time. It is overwhelming to absorb.
Some do understand. Is it truly understood more than a few? I doubt it, witness the calls for audits.
A bank was robbed, we have video of the robbery. Auditing the books isn’t the first task.
This scenario would make the pro tem of the senate POTUS. Currently this is Sen. Patrick Leahy of the great state of Vermont.
McCain is a swear word to me!!!
That’s why the White Hat military referred to him as “no name.”
When Karen Fann stated that the purpose of the audit was not to decertify, I was cautiously concerned. She should have said, the audits were a step, in a process. The findings would determine the next steps, which would not be in her purview.
That made me suspicious of her, whether she was weak, influenced, or misspoke.
John Shadegg is too closely aligned with Cindy McCain, who has a definite bias against Trump. He probably, would NOT want the election results overturned. He has no business being involved in this process. smh…
No doubt we are being played by the Republican Party! The only difference is that this time they are using “AUDIT” instead of using Obamacare to fundraise of our anger and frustration.
Where is the AZ Audit Report?
Where is the Durham Report detailing the FBI’s and other agencies’ complicity in “Russian Collusion” scam?
Why was Obamacare never repealed when the GOP had the House, the Senate, and a president willimg to sign it?
We can’t keep doing the same things, day in and day out, then expect different results.
When are we going to realize that everything in our politics will be fake and performative until we bring D.C. to heel.
The Republicans cannot afford to publish the audit results because the GOP has always been in on the scam.
It was the GOP that sabotaged America First agenda and was always behind the “Russian Collusion” scam. The Democrats were playing the bad cop. That’s the only difference between the parties. And the majority of us bought this R’s versus D’s narrative hook, line and sinker…. Still do by the way.
Once you realize the current rendition of the U.S. government is an organized crime syndicate of massive proportion, everything that is happening immediately makes sense.
+100!
you are talking to the WRONG crowd here about your “revelations”….we have known all that and more here for many years
Audits are a waste of time, they do not prove fraud. They can only show discrepancies. If an IRS audit turns up a discrepancy between income declared and bank deposits, it is not automatically fraud. It could be something legitimate such as a loan repayment. Even if it was additional income, they still have to prove fraud (could turn out the “fraudster” knew he had a ton of tax credits and didn’t bother to report it). So it is not an automatic after an audit, more work is still needed before a jail sentence is handed down. The only way election fraud is going to be proved is if one or more of the participants in AZ, GA, PA, MI or WI spills his guts in front of a jury. Absent that, it will stand.
Why did they choose this loser to be the “special master?”
Because he is a McCainite open borders lawyer with links to the organized crime outfit that runs Arizona.
Once again, it’s time to remind us all of Dr. Frank’s work. He has predicted that this election fraud has been going on for 20 Years. So how could this affect the Arizona Audit Report.
Is it possible for a U.S. House of Representative to owe many of his reelections while in office to a selection process rather than the voting process. The answer of course is yes. Therefore, John Shadegg has a serious conflict of interest. Clearly, not qualified to be the master.
So if they allow John Shadegg to serve as this special master. They are in fact breaking the Arizona law.
A.R.S. § 38-503.
8.2.1 Purpose of the Conflict of Interest Laws. “The object of conflict of interest
statutes is to remove or limit the possibility of personal influence which might bear upon an
8-2 Revised 2014
official’s decision.” Yetman v. Naumann, 16 Ariz. App. 314, 317, 492 P.2d 1252, 1255
(1972). Arizona’s conflict of interest laws serve to prevent self-dealing by public officials.
Maucher v. City of Eloy, 145 Ariz. 335, 338, 701 P.2d 593, 596 (App. 1985). The financial
interests of public officers or employees must not conflict with the unbiased performance of
their public duties because “one cannot serve two masters with conflicting interests.” Id.
Public officials should avoid situations where their professional or financial concerns might
conflict with the unbiased performance of their duties. Id.; see generally United States v.
Miss. Valley Generating Co., 364 U.S. 520, 549 (1961) (“The statute is thus directed not
only at dishonor, but also at conduct that tempts dishonor. This broad proscription
embodies a recognition of the fact that an impairment of impartial judgment can occur in
even the most well-meaning men when their personal economic interests are affected by
the business they transact on behalf of the Government.”).
https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/docs/agency-handbook/ch08-2014.pdf
Of course it’s going to be disappointing. We had our election stolen, supreme court and politicians hate President Trump.
There’s no way we will be at all happy. It’s just a way to keep us sedated.
It breaks my heart to say this, think it or expect it.
We’re done.
If we play by their rules, we’re done.
Audits produce years of back and forth, that enrich the lawyers. America has more lawyers than all the rest of the world combined. Give them work, and they kick back. So much of what’s in the news (Lawfare) is make-work for lawyers. Resolving problems is counter-productive.
We need to return to paper ballots.
When you have a public official being selected for office. Then clearly part if not all of their personal income could come from their position. So it follows: “This broad proscription embodies a recognition of the fact that an impairment of impartial judgment can occur in even the most well-meaning men when their personal economic interests are affected by the business they transact on behalf of the Government”.
Sold down the same old, familiar river again.
In fact, I think we ran out of river a while back, and now we’re about 900 miles out into the Gulf.
Trump would agree to it.
