An investigation led by Michigan Republican lawmakers found no basis for claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies that there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

"The Committee found no evidence of widespread or systemic fraud."

Here's the report, which knows down the various election conspiracies circulating in Michigan.

"As is often the case, the truth is not as attractive or as immediately desirable as the lies and the lies contain elements of truth."

tfw you're only about 1/3 of the way through your report and have run out of words to describe how wrong various election conspiracies are.
The report by Republican lawmakers in Michigan knocking down claims that the 2020 election was rigged against President Trump concludes by recommending "citizens use a critical eye and ear toward those who have pushed demonstrably false theories for their own personal gain."

One of the last remaining lawsuits seeking to overturn the 2020 election ("Gondor II") seems to have run into a snag. The plaintiffs' lawyer says he used to have evidence to prove their case, but doesn't anymore because of a "saboteur in their own camp." Image
He then goes about impeaching the person who was going to provide all the evidence to prove the case (and also apparently raise money for other lawyers). Image
You may recall that this was the case in which a lawyer in Texas asked a court to basically throw out two of the three branches of government, lock in President Trump's policies and assume control of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Image

The Justice Department told lawyers for @usatoday on Saturday that it is withdrawing a subpoena seeking information about readers who accessed a particular article. An official said the FBI has identified a suspect "via other means."
Link to DOJ's email notification, from a deputy section chief in the Criminal Division, on a Saturday. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
DOJ's decision to withdraw the subpoena came right around the same time it said it would no longer secretly try to obtain records of reporters' communications.

Pillow magnate Mike Lindell says he'll file a lawsuit tomorrow against election machine firms Dominion and Smartmatic, which he falsely claims rigged the 2020 election.

"There's going to be stuff in this lawsuit that is going to ... stuff that's not been done before."
Update: Lindell filed it today.

He's boasted that this suit will prompt the Supreme Court to overturn the election, 9-0. It won't, because 1) he sued private parties that don't have the power to do that even if the court ordered it and; 2) he's only seeking monetary damages.

News organizations paid accused Jan. 6 rioter John Sullivan $90,000 for footage of a fatal shooting during the siege.

He was caught on video boasting that he was going to "instigate shit. ... I'm gonna make these Trump supporters f--- all this shit up."

[selective inclusion of profanity in original]
The Justice Department redacted the names of the news organizations. It's been reported previously that CNN and NBC each paid $35,000. And the description of this $10,000 payment to Sullivan pretty clearly refers to The @washingtonpost. Image

Each paragraph of MyPillow's lawsuit against Dominion is a unique little work of art.
I'm not sure how to reconcile MyPillow's claim that it was harmed by Dominion squelching debate about the election with its claim that it really wasn't involved in any of this election stuff at all, but maybe you're meant to read it more as a collection of short stories.
Also I'm not sure how MyPillow can credibly claim that it wasn't commenting on the 2020 election and wasn't interested in commenting on it, and also that Dominion's litigation unconstitutionally silenced its election commentary.

DOJ filed a lawsuit today against ex-Trump adviser Roger Stone saying he owes nearly $2 million in unpaid taxes and penalties and that he and his wife used an LLC to "shield their personal income from enforced collection and fund a lavish lifestyle."
DOJ says Stone and his wife moved $1 million to their LLC in 2018-19, then had the LLC pay "a substantial amount of their personal expenses," including groceries and dentist bills. This "evaded and frustrated the IRS's collection efforts."
DOJ straight-up accuses Roger Stone and his wife of fraud. (This is a civil case, though.)
