Good morning from Phoenix where AZ Sen Pres Karen Fann is holding a hearing on the latest on the so-called audit. Seated at the front is OAN’s Christina Bobb, who has promoted fundraising for the audit and spread conspiratorial lies #AZAudit 
Former President Trump sent out an email blast saying, “Big hearing in Arizona.” We've been told this "hearing" does not include public comment or press questions. The room has quite a few spectators #AZAudit
In addition to OAN, Victory News and Gateway Pundit are present. I also see local news stations here.
A spectator told @annamajaCNN that some of the attendees are #AZAudit workers
@annamajaCNN These ladies are from Apache Junction, AZ. They heard AZ Senator Borrelli on Bannon so they came here.
#AZaudit has begun. Fann announces the far-right outlets are streaming this. @CNN is not, as previous hearing spread inaccuracies.
Fann says regarding the hearing's intent on the #azaudit: "It’s taken longer than anticipated and we need answers and need to know where we’re going from here. "
Cyber Ninjas' Doug Logan kicks off his introductory statement listing "credentials." Fact check: multiple Repub & Dem experts & nonpartisan election experts say he has no known experience in election auditing. #AZAudit
Ken Bennett & Ben Cotton of CyFIR is here next to Logan, testifying to the AZ Senate. Cotton is the owner of the Montana cabin where it is suspected Maricopa County 2020 voter information was driven. #AZAudit
Doug Logan, Cyber Ninjas head, is now playing this a video that touts audit's work. Multiple nonpartisan election experts & the AZSOS' observers have strongly disagreed, citing multiple errors, process problems and chain of custody problems #AZAudit
Just before this pseudo-propaganda video began to roll, Fann said Logan wanted "to share some info with us. Why we haven’t gotten items on the original subpoena." #AZAudit
This video just called the audit "independent." Reminder: Logan tweeted and retweeted multiple times about the election being "stolen." @CNN has spoken to so-called audit workers who were unabashedly behind Trump's Big Lie #azaudit
Logan testifies "We’ve tallied all the ballots.
Data is still being worked through." Logan says the data needs "to be perfect." and that he wants to insure that "everything we do is as spot on" as possible. #AZAudit

AZ Sen Pres says "Our entire Republican Senate body wanted to pursue this. This is not about Trump. This is not about overturning the election. " Fact check: Trump allies have pressured Fann, Maricopa Co. Republican election officials to interfere with the 2020 election results.
A number of national audit experts say what Bennett is talking about is fundamentally flawed. Because the Ninjas organized the ballots by the Ninjas' own designated 'pods' instead of the Maricopa Co. batch sheets, they lost track of the order of the original ballots #AZAudit
CyFIR CEO Ben Cotton, owner of the cabin in Montana where the digital data of voter information was driven to, is now speaking. He's walking through how the data was digitized #AZAudit
Cotton says voting machines original equipment was not modified and if there was damage, it's Maricopa's fault. Sen. Fann now blasting Hobbs for saying voting machines are now not secure and can't be used again. Maricopa Board of Supervisors will purchase new machines #AZAudit
Pay attention to this: The Maricopa Co. Board of Sups will spend millions to replace and says AZ Senate should cover the cost. This is about MONEY and who pays bc of Cotton and the machines: @azcentral story here: azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
@azcentral CyFIR CEO Ben Cotton is leaning into why it'd be safe for the #AZAudit to have access to the county routers. @Penzone4sheriff @mcsoaz told @CNN the router access is a roadmap into the security of the county & endangers law enforcement.
Here's what @Penzone4sheriff @mcsoaz says abt the #azaudit attempt to get router access: "To be reckless and to give away something of this capacity into the hands of a complete stranger is not going to happen while I am the sheriff," citing public safety cnn.com/videos/politic…
Why you should question everything you're hearing from CyFIR's Ben Cotton: He falsely said @maricopacounty deleted files and then had to walk it back (he didn't know where to look!). Story here:

Cyber Ninjas Doug Logan now starting his testimony about the hand count and why there's a delay #azaudit
Leaving the Antrim, MI factcheck.org report here, many of the points being reiterated in today's #azaudit hearing: factcheck.org/2020/12/audit-…
"Kinematic artifact detection" says Cyber Ninja Doug Logan
Sharpie-gate alert
This is turning into a greatest hits of election conspiracies
Doug Logan continuing to press with canvassing voters, which @CivilRights has warned AZ Sen to not allow. He's throwing around numbers of "thousands" #azaudit
The propaganda twitter site for the so-called audit is amplifying all the conspiracies and raising nonsense questions when there are explanations. #azaudit
AZ Sen. Petersen is in closing statement saying he doesn't understand why @maricopacounty isn't working with the conspiracy chasing expressed here. He's teeing up how this report will be an "incomplete audit." (more)
"Incomplete audit" is what I've also heard from Randy Pullen. What we witnessed here is what appears to be laying of groundwork-- #azaudit blame others for not obtaining certain "information." A report could raises questions about American democracy but has no true findings
