NEWS: The metadata in Hillary Clinton's emails contained a Gmail address with the name of a Chinese company: "carterheavyindustries@gmail.com" according to documents released by a Senate committee yesterday.
Jeannette McMillian, an attorney for the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG), told Congress that this email with the name of a Chinese company appeared to serve as a "live dropbox" for all of Clinton's emails.
McMillian told Congress that the Carter Heavy Industries email address in the Clinton-email metadata was set up to receive a copy of every email sent and received as they were sent, even if the intended addressee was different.
The FBI obtained a search warrant for CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com on June 20, 2016, roughly 2 weeks before Comey exonerated Clinton.
Prior to securing the warrant, the FBI already knew that 57 emails classified at the confidential level and 1 emails classified at the secret level were still sitting on the server. This is after Combetta used it to sync 30,490 Clinton emails.
Under the search warrant for CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com, the FBI requested access to log-in and IP logs, along with a load of other info.
Despite the FBI having all this information from Google, the DOJIG, in the Aug. 14, 2019 letter, told the Senate only about logins into CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com from 2015 and 2016.
- Gmail account name was similar to a Chinese manufacturer
- Account created by Paul "Bleachbit" Combetta
- Peter Strzok at FBI got this lead, appeared "dismissive" at briefing

One of the most important statistics about modern science:
"More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments."
Email exchange between Christopher Scott and Robert Johnston (Crowdstrike), Adrian Hawkins and Jason Lowder (FBI), and Michael Sussmann (Perkins Coie).
On July 27, Johnston says Chris Scott is the CrowdStrike point of contact for the DNC/DCCC hack.
That July 27, 2016, email is a good who's-who of the FBI team working the DNC hack, including some names I never heard before: Adrian Hawkins, Joshua Hubiak, J.K. Mularski, Gerald Cotellessee, Christian Schorle.
"The analysis also revealed that there were more than 600 party members across 19 branches working at the British banks HSBC and Standard Chartered in 2016. Both have drawn criticism for their response to Beijing's crackdown in Hong Kong."
"Firms with defense industry interests including Airbus, Boeing and Rolls-Royce employed hundreds of [Chinese Communist] party members, the analysis showed."
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost argues that the court SHOULD decide whether the Constitution permits state courts and state executive officials "to alter the rules by which presidential elections are conducted."
"The People need an answer, too. Until they get one, elections will continue to be plagued by doubts regarding whether the President was chosen in the constitutionally prescribed manner." -- AG Yost
The following 8 paragraphs of legal background in the Texas SCOTUS election case are a fascinating historical context worth sharing in a mini thread:
“The individual citizen has no federal
constitutional right to vote for electors for the
President of the United States unless and until the
state legislature chooses a statewide election as the
means to implement its power to appoint members of
the electoral college.”
State legislatures have plenary power to
set the process for appointing presidential electors:
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors.”
U.S. CONST. art. II, §1, cl. 2
BREAKING: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today filed an *election* lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the United States Supreme Court.
Texas brought the suit straight to SCOTUS. Key allegations:
1. Unconstitutional changes to election laws 2. Unequal treatment of voters within each state 3. Voting irregularities "consistent with
the unconstitutional relaxation of ballot-integrity
protections."
From the bill of complaint: "These flaws cumulatively preclude knowing who legitimately won the 2020 election and threaten to cloud all future elections."
