More about the Republican national security people for @JoeBiden:

Richard Armitage - Directed US aid to former USSR at crucial time & ignored early warnings that his strategy would help the re-named KGB turn Russia into a gangster-state.

defendingdemocracytogether.org/national-secur…
2) Chester Crocker - As assistant secretary of state for African affairs, Crocker was the #1 Republican barrier to helping Angolan anti-Communist resistance leader Jonas Savimbi defeat the Cuban- and Soviet-backed Angolan regime and recover sovereignty from Moscow.
3) James Glassman - Begged conservative Republicans (and future MAGA people) to help him become Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy, promising to correct legacy problems at State Dept. Once the Senate confirmed him, he ignored them and stabbed them in the back.
4) Chuck Hagel - RINO as a US senator who often sided with the opposition Democrats, including @JoeBiden, on key issues. Chaired Obama's Intelligence Oversight Board/President's Intelligence Advisory Board and as Obama's Secretary of Defense. No shocker that he's again with Joe.
5) I don't see a single person on this "Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden" list who was ever a strong critic of the Chinese Communist Party. A few made some insipid, toothless comments about human rights. Many were outright allies the CCP or its interests.
6) The very title of the group - "Former Republican National Security Officials for Biden" - seems to have double meaning.

They are former national security officials who served as Republicans. Are they also "former Republicans"? defendingdemocracytogether.org/national-secur…

🧵In 2005, the bipartisan Commission on Election Reform, co-chaired by Jimmy Carter and James A. Baker III, expressed concerns about electronic voting systems.

Since then, the Carter Center & Baker Institute scrubbed their websites of the report. 👉
web.archive.org/web/2005092212…
2) Carter-Baker report, pp. 25-27: Voting machines lack transparency.

“Voting machines must … be transparent. They must allow for recounts and for audits, and thereby giver voters confidence in the accuracy of the vote tallies.”

“The accessibility and accuracy of DREs [direct recording electronic machines], however, are offset by a lack of transparency, which has raised concerns about security and verifiability. In most of the DREs used in 2004, voters could not check that their ballot was recorded correctly. Some DREs had no capacity for an independent recount.”Image
3) Carter-Baker report, p. 27 says there are no standards of transparency for voting machines (and, by implication, software):

"The standards for voting systems ... should assure ... transparency in all voting machines. Because these standards usually guide the decisions of voting machine manufacturers, the manufacturers should be encouraged to build machines in the future that are both accessible and transparent ….”Image

In a 62-page ruling, a federal magistrate judge agrees with @dominionvoting and sacks attorney Stefanie Lambert from defending @PatrickByrne from Dominion.

Case 1:21-cv-02131-CJN-MAU.

The judge is with the squeaky-clean US District Court for the District of Columbia.

What is in the emails being produced in discovery that Dominion wants to keep secret?Image
@dominionvoting @PatrickByrne Download the 62-page PDF of the court decision siding with Dominion to sack Patrick Byrne's attorney, Stefanie Lambert.

I have posted this on my Academia account in the public interest so that people may download it for free. I am not party to this case. academia.edu/122888005/DOMI…
Image
What is in those Dominion emails that is so damning that the company is pulling out all the stops to prevent their disclosure?

Could it have to do with @Smartmatic? Could it be related to election fraud? Did someone at Dominion commit a crime? What do you have to say, @dominionvoting?Image

🧵 Breaking: @Smartmatic President and COO Roger Piñate has surrendered to US authorities in Miami to face federal grand jury charges of international corruption and bribery.

El Nuevo Herald has the story. elnuevoherald.com/noticias/flori…
@smartmatic The @Smartmatic co-founder and executive put up $8.5 million in bail, but did not enter a plea of guilt or innocence, according to the Nuevo Herald, because he says he doesn't have a "permanent attorney."
@smartmatic Second @Smartmatic executive charged in the same international corruption and bribery crime: Jorge Miguel Vásquez, vice president of development.

He pled not guilty to international corruption and money laundering charges and was freed on $1 million bail.

🧵 Let's crowdsource some answers to these five questions, one at a time. I welcome @Smartmatic CEO @antoniomugica to help us out, for transparency's sake:

1) Did the Venezuelan engineers of the Delaware-incorporated Smartmatic, including Mugica and Roger Piñate, create the software to help Hugo Chavez cheat his way out of the 2004 recall referendum? (1/5)Image
@smartmatic @antoniomugica 2) The following year, in 2005, did Smartmatic buy Sequoia (which controlled 22 percent of the US electoral market) and if so, where did it get the cash? (2/5) Image
@smartmatic @antoniomugica 3) Was Sequoia, with its Smartmatic software developed for Hugo Chavez, sold to Dominion in or about 2010 and involved with the Philippine elections that year?
