I've taken a closer look at some of Giuliani's 'star' witnesses. In the small group that I skimmed, there are connections to government contracting, cray-cray former senior military, and Republican operatives with a GOP history prior to being 'poll-watchers."
And may I add that the number of prior Army involved is growing. WTF is up at Ft. Bragg? Is it something in the water?
Greg Stenstrom: Former "birther", Owner of Marque Star which appears to have historically received gov't contracts to handle pirates, but is now in "cybersecurity." Handles his own fundraiser along with Leah Hoops' (another witness) fundraiser.
Interestingly During Leah Hoops' public statement, she says one of the first calls she made when she grew suspicious at the tally location, was Greg Stenstrom. Why? What history does Greg have with Leah and the MIGOP?
Oh, she has since been involved with Bannon's War-Room Pandemic rally in PA. See the initial chart for her position with the Trump campaign.
Braden Giacobazzi has an engineering background and appears to have worked with some aerospace defense contractors. Someone by the same name performed in an amateur production of 'Rocky Horror Picture Show." (one of my old threads)
Melissa Carone: What can I say? All the public info, plus a piece of info in an interview. In one of the interviews it says she worked for Ford before getting into IT. Braden Giacobazzi also worked at/with Ford. Did they know each other?
Navid Keshawarz-Nia: Intelligence background. Affidavit was spread around r/w media, and initially submitted with other affidavits, but later withdrawn, so it couldn't be evaluated as actual evidence.
He is also connected to a fraudster Garrison Courtney. Garrison ran a scheme promising gov't contracts. They worked briefly together, but the nature of that work is unclear.
Shane Trejo: He seems unassuming at first, but through World View Weekend, Much Rack and Big League Politics, he appears to be enmeshed in a disinformation circle which includes Kevin Freeman, Ret Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, Mary Fanning and others.
World View Weekend is Christian - Politics - Conspiracy Theory circus, so of course McInerney is a regular feature.
I've mentioned before the disproportionate number of defense contractors involved in/surrounding 1/6, but there are starring roles for other types as well.
I've also mentioned the problem of lack of oversight and controls with contracting.
More oversight is needed. 👀🙄👀🙄

The groups behind Issue 1 ( to increase the threshold to 60% for putting an amendment on the ballot), are the same groups diverting public school $ to private, Christian schools and removing LGBTQ rights. https://t.co/rewXNMrGWP
They've been busy plastering Ohio with misleading political mailers disguised as "news." They warn of "radical outside interests" trying to change their Constitution, but fail to disclose their own radical outside interests.
Worth mentioning the law office of David Langdon, who has been at the center of right-wing causes in OH (and elsewhere) for many years. FEC and IRS have taken notice...
Where was I? Oh yes, the failed Venezuela coup-thingy by Silvercorp.
Goudreau (while pitching his Gideon plan) apparently contacted Nestor Sainz/Global Governments Center , who put G in touch with Keith Schiller's former attorney.
It should be pointed out that Global Governments Center shares/shared an address with law firm Shaerr Jaffe LLC, who lists attorneys with....notable...backgrounds, like Ken Klukowski, Mark Paoletta and James Heilpern. Many are also graduates of Brigham Young.
Heilpern started an org called Judicial Education Institute with Diarmuid O'Scannlain (former conservative justice) and Lorraine Updike Toler.
Lorraine is an accomplished constitutional scholar whose mother is a long time officer of Eagle Forum in Utah.
The Harris County election suppression bills - one submitted by Rep Paul Bettencourt - are all part of 🦇💩😜 Steven Hotze (repub donor) and his three ring circus.🎪
Below is just one pre-election suppression effort. There were several pre & post-election suits.🙄
But the bill to eliminate the Election Administrator in Harris County was submitted by Bittencourt - who is part of the same circus (right wing religious/voter supression) as Hotze.
The direction to look in is Bittencourt's previous association with David Welch and Norman Adams.
Bittencourt, Welch and Adams were partnered for Coalition for a Greater Houston.
David Welch is a long-term board member of U.S. Pastor's Council and (former) Faithful Citizenship Ministries.
Kast is popular with our right wing. Not surprising.
Pinochet received a huge boost (unfortunately) from the U.S. - with deep roots from the Nixon administration. Nixon-era-born Roger Stone groomed the PB's, who are proud Pinochet fans.
