The Daily Mail is reporting on a story where Arizona Republican Chairman Jeff DeWit is caught on tape offering a bribe to Kari Lake on behalf of “people back east.” {Direct Rumble Link}
The voices “back east” surrounding republican Senate races are not exactly a surprise. Yeah, it’s obviously Mitch McConnell and the multinational corporate benefactors from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who fund the UniParty construct. Apparently, the conversation was Jeff DeWit, 51, chair of the Arizona Republican Party, asking Kari Lake, a close ally of Donald Trump, to name her price to stay out of politics for two years. LISTEN:
(Via Daily Mail) – […] ‘So the ask I got today from back east was: “Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?’
Lake reacts with indignation.
‘This is about defeating Trump and I think that’s a bad, bad thing for our country,’ she said.
Later, DeWit, who was chief operating officer on the Trump’s 2020 campaign frames it differently.
‘Just say, is there a number at which….’ he begins.
Lake cut in: ‘I can be bought? That’s what it’s about.’
‘You can take a pause for a couple of years. You can go right back to what you’re doing.’
Lake repeatedly rebuffs him and says she wouldn’t do it for a billion dollars.
‘This is not about money, it’s about our country,’ she says. (MORE)
Quit pretending this is a surprise….
This is just Mitch McConnell crap.
Most casual political observers have absolutely no idea how McConnell works. However, for over a decade CTH has been trying –mostly failing– to awaken the base of common sense voters. In 2010, 2011 and 2012 the #1 priority for McConnell was to destroy the threat represented by the Tea Party. In 2022 we were seeing an exact replay of the same McConnell intents and purposes, only this time the target was President Trump’s MAGA movement.
It is a motive and agenda all wrapped up in the senate power structure. McConnell does not fear being in the minority; the color of the flag atop the spire of the UniParty senate does not matter to those underneath it. McConnell maneuvers with just as much power in the minority as he does in the majority; factually, he makes more money selling his DeceptiCon caucus votes to Chuck Schumer (on behalf of Wall Street) than he does in the majority where he is forced to purchase them. The entire thing is a rigged-game.
To remind ourselves how Minority and Majority Senator McConnell took down the threat of the Tea Party revisit these old articles: CNN Part I and CNN Part II both showcase how McConnell works. Then do some research on how McConnell worked with Haley Barbour in Mississippi [SEE HERE].
For those who follow the deep weeds of politics, McConnnell’s schemes are brutally transparent.
Good for Kari Lake to stand firm and tell them to get stuffed.
I’d like to see TCN pick this up and run with it, perhaps invite DeWit & Lake on to his show…. God doesn’t need an army
DeWit has probably lawyered up, and won’t be makin any public statements.
Nothing illegal happened. She’s not a government employee or elected official.
It was a job offer. Lots of job offers, most really, are just money to get you to take job x instead of job y.
Lake will benefit in a big way. The dirtbags in the GOP will crawl back under their rocks and be more careful next time. Nobody important will be asked any uncomfortable questions.
McConnell is just doing Schumer/Obama’s bidding.
I wanna know who the people “back east” are. NAMES!
Unlikely to happen. We all kinda know, though.
DeWit is a lizard and will find a rock to crawl under.
Use it as yet more proof that elections really are rigged in this country.
NH, too. It wasn’t a Republican primary. It was rigged using Democrats. And Trump still crushed.
Which its exactly the way we’ll need to win the general.
Crush them in spite if the cheating.
Rich men north of Richmond.
Just get his phone, e/m records.
They have to release the Epstein Island names first, that said, Kentucky needs to find a new senate candidate to replace McConnell and his China bride, his batteries are not taking and holding a 10-hour charge anymore, he was our first AI senator model.
Conspiracy to interfere in an election.
And who else received an offer like this and got out of the race…all those “retiring” republicans perhaps?
Bingo!
Generally I agree with you that this is what they did. But technically Lake had not yet announced her candidacy for that Senate seat. The bribery incident occurred in Feb 2023 but she didn’t announce until Oct 2023. So it would probably be an impossible legal case, at that time she was just an average citizen only thinking about running for office.
You can’t downplay this! No job titled was given. It was a bribe! If it was no big deal, the people involved would be talking about this ” job offer”.
Nope- DeWitt the Global Communist fool puppet-felony charges…

As this audio becomes more public, the little shit will dry up and wither away. This event has probably (and ought to have) ruined his political Republican career. The twit is as rino as they come. Mark him. Book him. Flush him.
One of the last things he said to her was “dont tell anybody about this” 😎
He said it 3 times!
He’ll be blaming James O’Keefe.
DeWitt should be stick a fork in it done……and if he is not, shame on us!
So well put!
Someone I know showed me a cheque from WA. State Attorney General to him for $120.00 The accompanying letter said it was a ‘settlement’ from a lawsuit filed by the AG against some sort of collusion re high pricess of chicken products (I think). I told my acquaintance that it was likely a bribe, because the AG spot is being contested this year.
I wonder if Project Veritas would want to investigate this.
My son got one of those $120 checks. No one else in the family, all Washington State residents and property owners got a check so we still haven’t figured on what basis the checks were issued. Bob Ferguson is a creep and loves finding ways to sue people and companies who are in opposition to his politics.
All I could picture was DeSanctimonious’ mug when I listened to that recording
RDS is a product of the system, not the orchestrator.
I picture McTurtle slick McConnell. Sundance lays it out pretty clearly in the article.
He took the bribe that Kari declined
Someone yesterday theorized that DeSantis and Ramaswamy were bribed to drop out of the 2024 race to make it easier for Haley to interfere. If there were 3 anti-Trump candidates it would dilute the Democrats’ votes.
Trump appears on the surface to be quite happy with Ramaswamy but I hope it’s all just a show to promote the unity act. Ramaswamy needs to prove his loyalty to Trump, dropping out and endorsing is laughably insufficient especially in light of the Lake recording where we have confirmation that candidates are bribed to drop out.
the lesser of two evils, a slimeball like DumbWitt… is still evil.
until people start chasing the RINOs away, the choices will be evil or evil-lite
bud-light them
The *Cartels*, recall the picture of NP meeting Cartel Members in Mexico? That SD posted a couple years back?
The Democrats aggressively block the President’s desire to protect Americans and build a border wall on the southern border with Mexico. Democrat attempts to block the wall in spite of significant evidence that it is needed indicate there is an unknown reason for their defiance.

Who’s ‘NP’?

I saw Haley Barbour at a republican donors meeting in New York City a number of years ago during the Tea Party era. He was red-faced and angry and he was almost yelling at us. And here is the money quote from Mr Barbour:
“PURITY IS THE ENEMY OF VICTORY!”
There you have it, friends. Sticking to your constitutional ideals equals defeat! Because victory at any cost means you can jettison everything you’re supposedly fighting for.
I was flabbergasted but I’ve had his number ever since.
He knows the stakes and is already owned. Kari is aware also and knows she has to be careful too.
Who wants to tell the genius Haley Barbour, we can move the USA a looooong way toward merely the “center” and still be far from “pure”
(I know, I’m preaching to the choir)

Toward the end of this audio, Kari tells DeWit he should go public and he responds that they would kill him (something along the lines of “I turn the key to my car and boom”). Well, now it is public! With those facts, shouldn’t this guy be in AT LEAST protective custody right now?
No protective custody for this traitor!
Like Epstein?
Who in power can be trusted to “protect” him?
I hear the guards that looked out for Jeffrey Epstein have some room on their schedule…….
Yeah, right, the 3-letter agencies will protect him. We know we can trust them. What could go wrong?
Ya, they are in the middle of purging their own ranks, it’ll have to wait.
He needs to be in jail
He was warning her not to go public or her car would go boom. You gota listen between the lines.

@Simply4Truth_
Here’s the full audio… and here’s what’s said at 9:30 😳
Kari: “I think you should go public with this”
Jeff DeWit: “Then I turn my key in my car and boom”
Audio
This convo didn’t just happen last week
No. Kari described it in public at the time it happened.
But I agree with dutch that it’s brilliant timing for Kari to release the actual recording this week.
Feb 2023.
This is something out of a bad movie.
Can’t believe this guy doesn’t realize how much of a cartoon villain he sounds like.
“Back east”. Again, out of a show like Dallas.
These people used to be better at this.
Not sure they were ever good at it. We just got a lot smarter, at least I did. Clintons got caught lots of times, but I guess people who could stop them were afraid of their cars going ‘boom’. There is precedent.
Offering a bigger platform sounds like foreign Murdoch to me.
I guess DuhWitt thought he could buy her off like he did the Arizona RINOs that obstructed the investigations into the Nov 2020 debacle.
Too bad Jeffy, No Sale today, or any day.
Go get ’em Ms Lake!
.
How is that I-17 widening going, Ms. Fann?
I pray that her security service and body guards are top of the line!
DeWitt explained that it’s not a matter of “ownership” of a candidate, but rather a question of the latter being “on the same team.”
He also stressed that she could take the money and “go back to what she was doing”…”they just want to know you’re on the same team.”
That tells me that that’s the M.O. re all important candidates for office, as well as the actual officeholders.
It also indicates that, as is applicable to the Mafia, if you take the money with no strings attached, after merely making assurances that “you’re on the same team,” YOU ARE TRAPPED because the next ‘ask’ will be a bigger assignment with much more money offered.
This puts a new light on Trump’s backstabbers that were loyal to Bush, i.e., they took the money as we suspected.
So, who can Trump absolutely trust going forward now that we know it is not just loyalty to others that motivates people’s acts of disloyalty, but enticing sums of money that have resulted from longstanding political relationships built on cash payments? I don’t know, but I wouldn’t start off feeling certain about Scott or Vivek. Who owns them? We don’t know.
Who owns Kari Lake? No one. HENCE, SHE WOULD BE MY ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.
It’s now clear that Pence was owned, that he pledged allegiance to a so-called “team,” and that he owed a favor. Same for Liz Cheney.
I like Kari Lake even more. You go lady!
I did not think it was possible to like Kari more but after hearing this recording I admit I was mistaken. She is an absolute rock star and deserves to be Trumps VP.
WOW…
Kari is the real deal…
Unafraid.
Just put contributing to Kari’s campaign on my to-do list.
Just when I think I can’t loathe Mumbles McConnell anymore I go and read an article like this. What makes it even more exasperating is that the Republican Party in Arizona is just as worthless and corrupt as the Republican Party in Georgia. With “friends” like this who needs enemies?
This is the Bush-McCain cartel being fronted by the corrupt turtle.
If you can’t be bought out, the next step is?
I know its a rhetorical question, but I think it likely that here in the near future it’s a convincing deep fake is released, at a minimum.
They think she’s going to be the VP.
They also need her out of the AZ Senate race because they’re going to have enough trouble rigging it against Trump.
Either way, this is why the GOP will never be co-opted. It must be destroyed.
The surprise isn’t the bribe. The surprise is that she stood up to it.
Tricky Nikki took the bribe though.
Boeing got her out of the way for a couple of years.
They also need her out of the AZ Senate race because they’re going to have enough trouble rigging it against Trump.
I think this is it. Plus a Senate win for Kari is a big boost to Trump. It shows major MAGA progress which the GOPes cannot tolerate.
My eyes fell slimy just reading this.
It was like listening to the devil barter for a soul, constantly appealing to vanity and greed. I have no doubt they would love for her to sit out for 2 years, as in 2 years this country is very likely to be fatally injured if the corrupt and evil get their way.
In the case of the Senate, the new WHO “Pandemic Treaty” (they can call it an agreement all they want, but when you give up all your sovereignty, it’s a treaty) will be up for ratification as there is pretty much zero doubt that Brandon will have the U.S. vote affirmatively or that there will be enough corrupt and WEF adjacent nations that will do the same.
Thing is, that a treaty so repugnant to the Constitution should be null.
The point of making international agreements is to sidestep the entire treaty approval process as outlined in the Constitution.
Lawful authority? Not really a factor when interpretation and enforcement are both handled by the same bureaucratic parasite class.
Agree with your points – but in their mind, if they could get the Senate to ratify it, there would be no stopping the amount of evil that could be perpetuated upon the people of this great nation. Without such approval, there at least would be a possibility of push back or outright nullification.
It is a neon red line.

Lets us know how proximate the threat is, doesn’t it?
Just neutral on this, but want to point out in todays age with computer speech and 30 seconds of someone’s voice one can make that someone say whatever they want by the miracle of speech synthesis.
So whatever recording there is it would have to be checked against that.
It could be more of a stakeout to see if Kari Lake would take a bribe and if she would it would blow up on MSM.
She was interviewed tonight and confirmed it is real
Epistemological skepticism is always a good policy, with the understanding that proofs only exist in analytic contexts…
Always a possibility – one of the thoughts I had was, “Could be a way for Kari to elevate herself.”
The question is always,”Is it real, or is it memorex.”
If you are saying DeWit’s contribution is computerized … then why didn’t he step forward to deny he said it?
I am not saying anything either one way or the other, just that an audio recording in this day and age is not rock solid evidence as it once used to be and that two sides could have different motivation in the story.
As for DeWit, I dont know his side of the story either. One could think his lawyer advised him against saying anything? (“Everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law…”) Even a deny can be parsed for example by body language experts and construed as something.
Similar how fake ballots were scrutinized in Arizona by the folds in the paper and such, audio tapes would have to be scrutinized for speech synthesis. Its just a sign of the times we live in and people abusing technology.
Just thinking: Kari should have just told DeWit to have the East Man – allegedly McConnell – setup a lunchtable with Kari and the discussion could go from there. DeWit would be kind of a fool to sacrifice his political career in this way by being a (obvious) bag man? This is all fiction but talking to someone in person is hard to fake.
Disgusting. Just disgusting.
At 4:30 on the video; DeWit: “Where are we in two years, if they steal the election again?”
Steal the election again. He’s just admitted that the election was stolen.
Sounds to me like he was in on the “steal” and if so (in a perfect world) this should land him in the slammer.
DeWitt is working with the Maricopa Election Commission-
https://firejeffdewit.com/
Both DeWit and whoever “back east” is should resign.
NO, let Them WONDER / STEW when JUSTICE WILL ARRIVE – IN THE END GOD WINS !
The DeWit bribe occurred late February 2023 so this was about the 2024 Senate race, not the 2022 Governor race. At CPAC 2023, which was Mar 1-4, Lake said this:
Something happened to me this week before I left for CPAC and it shows how desperate these people are to stop me and to silence you. I decided to share this, it’s a little bit controversial, but I’m going to put this out. Somebody showed up at my door this week, they called me before and said “I gotta talk to you in person, can’t be done over the phone” which is always kind of like uh-oh, what’s that going to be about? They came to my door and they tried to bribe me out of getting out of politics.
Here’s the CPAC video: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/karilake/video-3107137/Video-Kari-Lake-tells-CPAC-2023-attempts-bribe-race.html
I want to add that in the recording with DeWit she mentions DeSantis (“DeSantis is not America First”). She knew in Feb 2023 that he was planning to run for President even though he didn’t officially announce until May. If you all remember he was in Arizona in Aug 2022 at one of those Turning Point rallies allegedly for 2022 candidates but they were really to promote DeSantis. I have always suspected he asked Lake to be his running mate.
If DeSantis offered her his VP slot in August 2022, it means he knew the gubernatorial race would be jerked out from under her in November 2022. So if your suspicions are correct, MAGA, this goes much deeper than it looks.
I didn’t even think about that. Well I don’t have any substantiation of DeSantis offering Lake the VP spot but I always thought it was odd that he went to Arizona to participate in a rally for her. Just like DeWit didn’t want to talk to Lake on the phone, maybe DeSantis didn’t want to talk to her on the phone either for fear the conversation would be recorded. I hope she has all of her conversations recorded. 🙂
Thanks for the reminder. I remember her saying this then but never heard a followup. Are they putting more pressure on her?
I have not yet read the 441 comments before I opened and listened to this bribe.
My first question is “who else has this cabal of ‘powerful people back east’ bought off.” Investigations by every America loving Attorney General should be announced tonight. We will know who is bought off by who remains silent and/or fails to act.
So DeWit came to Lake’s home to offer the bribe. Now he and the other slimes can assume that Lake was recording every conversation she had there. 🙂
Kari Lake is the real deal. There really are a few people left who value some things more than cash.
As the voters of Arizona take this in, those critters “back east” are going to find out that Ms. Lake is even tougher to beat than they first thought.
I’m lovin’ me some KL!
I think The Independent owes Kari Lake an apology…
I wonder if this was released now because she received some threats.
Does anybody know who recorded this? I’m suspicious
Ditto!!!
And who released it?
And why now???
Also, this sounds like a recorded phone call, with sounds of her unwrapping something in the background and then eating something.
The other encounter she mentioned at CPAC last year was when someone actually came to her house.
So were there actually two bribery attempts ???
He came to Her home. She recorded it as a witness.
It’s no wonder that the folk YouTube song “Rich Men North Of Richmond” erupted into millions of views and #1 purchase status online. People may not dive deep, but they KNOW the nation is governed by traitors and thieves.
Anyone here in Arizona? Here are the people in the Arizona GOP primary for the US Senate seat. Do you recognize any of the names and do you think one of them was the bribers’ chosen candidate?
Christopher Berschauer (Unofficially withdrew)
Leonard Fulcher
Kari Lake
Mark Lamb
Connie Moreno
Elizabeth Reye
Robert Walker
Alan White
Brian Wright
Personally, I’m guessing they want her out of the general.
She’s a serious threat to Sinema and Gallego (I and D) and they definitely don’t want her in the Senate.
She will beat any of her competition in the Primary. They are pretty much unknowns.
I’ve lived in Virginia a third of my life. Before that it was Arizona. Always had a soft spot in my heart for Arizona. To hear this and trying to buy KL is just sickening. This is not the first time as she knows what they are asking and is holding strong. Much respect for Kari Lake.
On the spiritual side, the end is coming, our Lord is returning. The evil in this world is building. It will reach a point. Truly put on the armor of God.
WEll said.
I think DJT should put Kari in a key position to dismember and expose the Uni-party, and Mitch and all his co-horts, for what it is, and Anti-Anti-American infection in the GOP. She has the savvy, and Trump could give her the tools and the authority to do it right!
AZ Central says:
The tape of the 10-month-old conversation emerges just as MAGA forces are hoping to dethrone DeWit at the party’s annual meeting on Saturday.

Hearing this made me want to vomit. Hopefully this Dewit jerk gets arrested and turns on the McConnell Mob and starts to name names.
I’m forwarding this to people and they think it’s AI generated. How do we know it isn’t for naysayers ?
I’ve not heard it disputed.
Lake has talked about it since it happened but in true media fashion, they have largely ignored it. The new wrinkle is the audio aspect.
Kari confirmed it was real.
She mentioned it way back 3/2023.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/karilake/video-3107137/Video-Kari-Lake-tells-CPAC-2023-attempts-bribe-race.html
She is awesome. Wish there is more Kari Lake in the world.
There is One other: his last name
is spelled T*R*U*M*P
I’m sure that’s a first.
I wonder if there are any connections between Jeff DeWit and Sam Bankman-Fried?
So, obviously, Paul Ryan took their deal.
Kari Lake is an American hero!
As an Arizonan I’d like to see the end of DeWit’s career. Guys like this are everywhere in both political parties. They’re just sellouts.
I’ve been going back over places I saw the story appear originally, and can no longer find it.
Have been trying to find anything that says its been debunked or corrected, and nothing.
??????
There must be legitimate forensic audits in the 2024 elections or there will be war.
What absolute gall!
What was striking to me is they both discussed that they could be knocked off by these people back east.
Lake for VP. I think the only tape of Vivek is Klaus giving him permission to pretend he was never part of WEF.
But there is this lovely video of Vivek doing Barack 2.0…
More on DeWitt- put him in jail. He broke State Law-a feliny act. Tired of the McConnell-Bush-US “Communist” Chamber.
https://firejeffdewit.com/
This conversation gives us a great INSIGHT as to the mechanics of the Swamp politics.”You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” . This scumbag and the AZ GOP “leadership” is another reason Trump lost( actually won) the state. THANK you Kari for having thei integrity & courage to face plant DeWitt . He SHOULD be fired from his position!
I will be booing him quite loudly at our meeting this coming Saturday.
I doubt he shows up.
