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.

Former Arizona Secretary of State and current senate liaison for the Maricopa County audit, Ken Bennett, gives an interesting interview to John Fredricks Outside The Beltway podcast to share the current status of the Maricopa County audit.

Mr. Bennett notes the hand audit of the original ballots is nearing completion as they finish out the last several batches of duplicated ballots. However, the audit of the electronic records is more challenging because the Maricopa Board of Supervisors are refusing to give information related to the Routers used (verification of non-internet connection) and administrative passwords for the tabulation machines.

Additionally, the auditors need to review 1.9 million envelopes that need to have signatures in order to qualify as valid mail-in ballots/votes.  Without signatures the envelopes should never have been opened and the ballots disqualified.  The audit team needs to check the envelopes for signatures.  There will also be a few weeks where physical canvassing of the region will take place for identified “voting anomalies” (ex. 52 ballots from a single family home).   The entire process is likely to flow into August before the final report is assembled.  WATCH:

President Donald Trump was impeached under the false pretense of withholding military assistance from Ukraine (he never did).  Intelligence Community operative Lt. Col Alexander Vindman testified to congress that President Trump’s decision to pause military assistance to Ukraine was evidence of some suspicious relationship between President Trump and Russian President Putin….  The media proclaimed Trump was working to assist Russia because President Putin likely had pee tapes, or something.

Fast forward a little more than a year, Joe Biden meets with Putin, gets eviscerated and embarrassed by the diplomatic smack-down from the Russian President, and suddenly Joe Biden is freezing formerly approved military assistance for Ukraine….  IMPEACH !

WASHINGTON DC – The Biden White House has temporarily halted a military aid package to Ukraine that would include lethal weapons, a plan originally made in response to aggressive Russian troop movements along Ukraine’s border this spring.

The aid package would be worth up to $100 million, according to four people familiar with internal deliberations.

The National Security Council directed officials to put the package together, as Washington grew increasingly concerned over a massive Russian military buildup near the border with Ukraine and in the Crimean Peninsula, according to three of the people, who like the others asked not to be named in order to speak candidly about internal discussions. Officials at the State Department and Pentagon worked to assemble the proposal. (read more)

Last night CTH highlighted the flaw in the Tucker Carlson (Fox News) and Darren Beattie (Revolver News) advocacy for a Senate investigation into the FBI involvement with the January 6th DC protest/insurrection {Go Deep}.  Bottom Line: legislative oversight has consistently been participating in the corruption carried out by intelligence agencies and FBI.

Tonight I want to warn everyone of the trap that exists if this advocacy for a legislative approach continues.  Republicans are right now walking into a trap.  Read this next line carefully:  The January 6th Commission is to MAGA voters what the Mueller investigation was to President Trump.

The Senate vote to support Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Commission only failed by five votes. The final cloture vote was 54-35.  Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Mitt Romney of Utah and Rob Portman of Ohio all supported the commission. Pat Toomey (PA) would have supported, but he was absent for the vote.  Senators Blackburn (R-TN), Blunt (R-MO), Braun (R-IN), Burr (R-NC), Inhofe (R-OK), Murray (D-WA), Risch (R-ID), Rounds (R-SD), Shelby (R-AL), Sinema (D-AZ) and Toomey (R-PA) did not vote.

If republicans keep demanding a senate investigation into the FBI involvement on January 6th events, it will only take a few moves before Schumer and Pelosi twist that demand to say “then why didn’t you support the January 6th commission?”… and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would love nothing more than to bring that vote to approve the commission back to the floor.  I would even suggest that due to new demands by republicans in media, Mitch McConnell would support it.

Let me be clear, that January 6th Commission will be entirely run by democrats and their Lawfare operatives within staff.  The purpose of that commission would carry the same intents as the Mueller investigation in 2017 through 2019: to frame a narrative against their political opposition.    The difference this time would be that President Trump would not be the intended sole target; the Pelosi January 6th commission would be targeting Trump voters.

Investigations are only done by DC to serve their own interests.  Sometimes those interests are in throwing a bag over DC corruption: Fast n Furious, Benghazi Committee, IRS scandal and the VA scandal for recent reference points.  However, sometimes those DC interests are best protected by targeting opposition to DC itself, just like the Weissmann/Mueller special counsel.

To say there are sketchy issues in Fulton County, Georgia, elections would be the understatement of the year.  So many issues have been raised with the Atlanta area 2020 election processes it would be impossible to encapsulate them in one article.  However, one consistent pattern continues…. It appears specific lots of ballots -all favoring Joe Biden- were counted multiple times.

The multiple counting issue is just one aspect, one point of data, that current lawsuits within the region are attempting to resolve.  The scanning of the same batches of ballots multiple times would explain the “missing batches” issue.  The batches are “missing” because they were simply not batches at all, they were duplicate scans of ballots that had already been counted.

Additionally, fraudulent ballots created on non secure paper, which appear to have been made on copy machines, is another issue (some of that touched here).   That issue has been directly confirmed to CTH by an election worker who was part of the original count and who noted there were ballots on paper that was not authorized as print stock for the original ballots.

The audit of 147,000 sketchy absentee ballots might start to unravel these and may other issues that have become problematic for the Atlanta area election officials to hide.  Fulton County officials have already admitted to violations in state election law surrounding chain-of-custody documents; and into this mix of information comes a report from John Solomon and Daniel Payne about internal election communication and notes that seem to confirm the Fulton County officials were attempting to deal with election manipulation. {SEE HERE}

(Just the News) – […] scores of batches of absentee ballots that appeared missing from the documents and more than two dozen batches of absentee ballots that appear to have been double or triple-counted in Fulton County. (read more)

There are seven targeted voter regions where similar ballot issues and statistical impossibilities have been identified nationwide: Fulton County, Georgia; Wayne County, Michigan; Maricopa County, Arizona; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Clark County, Nevada; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Madison, Wisconsin.

Last night and tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson led off the show with discussion of the “January 6th Insurrection” narrative.

On Tuesday night Carlson and Darren Beattie suggested some form of senate Church Committee 2.0 should be initiated in order to investigate the U.S. intelligence community, and specifically the FBI for their role in coordinating or facilitating the January 6th events.  On Wednesday night Carlson again recommended the U.S. congress should start investigating.

Putting aside the background motives of Tucker Carlson; and accepting he is making these recommendations in good faith; there is a fatal flaw in his suggestion – and the support from anyone else who would suggest the same or similar approach.  The fatal flaw is an obvious one that unfortunately too many people just will not, and cannot, accept….

The Legislative Branch of the federal government is part of the Intelligence Community corruption.  The oversight “gang of eight” (pictured above), are enablers and participants in the corrupt endeavors that Carlson wants them to investigate.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) led by Chairman Adam Schiff, and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) led by Chairman Mark Warner, are part of the institutional corruption.  This is the problem, the core issue in the background, that too few people are recognizing as they begin to see the corruption within the intelligence community.  The legislative branch and the executive branch are working together; there is NO functioning oversight.  {CLIFF NOTES}

Tucker Carlson did an extensive monologue and interview last night as a review of the January 6th DC protest contrast against the likelihood of FBI organization and coordination.  Many are calling this a brave discussion because Carlson will likely face backlash for the overview.   As CTH has noted often, the politicization of the U.S. intelligence apparatus is the biggest threat to our constitutional republic.  In this segment Carlson arrives at the same conclusion.

Carlson used a Revolver article (SEE HERE) by Darren Beattie as the framework for the discussion.  The additional examples Carlson uses are familiar to CTH readers as we have used them before to highlight how politically corrupt the FBI has become.  For those who missed the segment it is in the first 15 minutes of the video below (likely will not last long). UPDATE: Video Switched

Unfortunately, and completely understandably due to the content being outlined, both Carlson and Beattie need to couch their words carefully.  However, CTH does not.

Often when discussion of these issues takes place, too much time is exhausted presenting supportive material in order to defend yourself from attacks by those who wish to block the conversation. CTH takes the position that our library of evidence is enough to stand alone.  As a consequence we have long passed the point of needing to present endless examples to backstop the analysis.  Quite simply it makes the research outlines too repetitive and too lengthy.

Avoiding the pitfalls of exhaustive repetition for points that are, by now, brutally obvious; and considering the urgency in the matters being discussed; it’s worth just accepting a few baselines as we move forward.

The coordination of narrative engineering across all agencies of the U.S. government is quite remarkable. Today Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that Deputy AG Lisa Monaco (Obama crew) will lead a “whole of government” effort to label any political opposition to the Biden regime as “domestic terrorists”.

To facilitate that objective, Garland announced that DAG Monaco is reconstituting “the domestic terrorism executive committee“, an investigative agency process used in the aftermath of the Oklahoma bombing in 1995. Additionally, Garland is noting the January 6th Capitol Hill protest was the current equivalent of the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people and injured 680. The Domestic Terrorism committee, led by Monaco, will focus their efforts at ensuring the center of U.S. government is never again put at risk.

You only need to watch the first 4 minutes of the video below to see the framework of the narrative being deployed. Garland’s statements align with Nancy Pelosi’s legislative demand to weaponize a January 6th Commission for the same political intents and purposes.  [White House Announcement Here]

As announced the Biden administration will use the opportunity of the protest against the 2020 election outcome to set into place various multi-agency monitoring systems to “identify threats”, “monitor behaviors” and “conduct surveillance” on all Americans, in effort to identify the “domestic extremists”.  This, they hope, will help eliminate  any political push-back in the upcoming 2022 mid-term election.

.

The purpose of this announcement should be crystal clear to everyone.  We discussed and outlined the background previously.  {Go Deep 1} and {Go Deep Two}

In the background of these maneuvers Big Tech and Corporate Media have been instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative; and any truth-tellers are considered subversive, ie. against the interests of the U.S. government.

The January 6th DC protest is being used as evidence for that narrative. Deplatforming, censorship and ultimately control of voices who would warn of the larger issues continues daily.

Let me be very clear… stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen.  Approximately 100 million American voters are considered dissidents now.

First, REMIND YOURSELF HERE of the larger objective.

Merrick Garland was not selected for U.S. Attorney General because JoeBama wanted him as AG.  Factually Garland is not radical enough for the Obama crew to give an enthusiastic elevation.  [Nope, that’s why they installed Lisa Monaco as Deputy AG to keep tabs on Garland and focus him on the bigger objectives.]   The real reason why they selected Garland was this:

(Via Reuters) Democrats overcame Republican opposition on Monday as the U.S. Senate voted to confirm federal judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, seen as a possible future Supreme Court nominee for President Joe Biden, to an influential appellate court.

The Democratic-controlled Senate voted 53-44 to approve Jackson’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. All those in opposition were Republicans, with three voting with Democrats to approve the nomination.

Biden nominated Jackson, a Washington-based U.S. district judge, to the D.C. Circuit to replace Attorney General Merrick Garland on the bench. That appellate court has served as a springboard to the Supreme Court in the past, including for current Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh. (read more)

The vote was 53-47 [link here] Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Lindsey Graham voted with Democrats to support KBJ to the circuit court. This Deep State manuever was transparently predictable. {Go Deep}  This was the real reason why Biden elevated Merrick Garland to AG, to get him out of the way for Ketanji Brown Jackson to work her way to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.  Obama would then have another tool for total control.

As we predicted in March, “this is how they roll”… With Obama’s crew you always have to watch the other hand; the third and fourth moves.

The left-wing extremist Saul Alinsky famously instructed his radical followers on the best way to attack their political opposition.  Alinsky told his communist crew to “Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize” their opponents.  In the decades since those first Rules for Radicals were published the instructions have been used and adapted on a continual basis by a growing faction inside the Democrat apparatus.

President Barack Obama then brought an entire cabinet of people who followed those instructions into the federal government and they spread out like fertilizer over the seeded embeds within every institution.  After twelve years of the Obama-led operatives purging a replacing people within government with like-minded followers the cancer of left-wing radicalism metastasized.

Key institutions of government (across all branches at the federal level) are now controlled and operated by Socialist/Marxist/Communist ideologues and agitators.  The intelligence agencies and justice system are particularly filled with political operatives.  The unified coup de grâce was the manipulation of the 2020 presidential election by national political activists using mail-in ballots, and supporting local operatives within targeted precincts.

The flaw in their 2020 strategy was the transparency of the manipulation.  It was the scale of the manipulation that made the fraud so visible.  However, once that Rubicon was crossed the outcome must be protected at all costs by those previously mentioned institutions and their leadership.

When we described the upcoming battle their activity has predictably created, I said this:  “I would expect the government response … will be a combination of the DOJ/FBI “domestic extremist” narratives, combined with racism accusations and claims of election disinformation.”  Put another way: “The Alinsky model: Isolate, Ridicule and Marginalize your political opposition in combination with the use of arrests and threats by the justice department.”

It only took a few hours before that exact scenario started to unfold in real time:
