Jovan Pulitzer was involved in the power point Mark Meadows gave to J6
Looks like Pulitzer & Phil Waldron are the original pushers of the China/Venezuela theory
Despite denials it looks like this is their work
And Meadows 'help' went DEEP
(thread): nytimes.com/2021/12/10/us/…
2/".. appears to be based on the theories of Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, a Texas entrepreneur and self-described inventor who has appeared with Mr. Waldron on podcasts discussing election fraud.
3/".. On Jan. 4, members of Mr. Waldron’s team-he did not identify them-spoke to a group of senators and briefed them on the allegations of supposed election fraud contained in the PowerPoint, Mr. Waldron said.
4/"The following day, he said, he personally briefed a small group of House members; that discussion focused on baseless claims of foreign interference in the election. He said he made the document available to the lawmakers.
5/"Mr. Meadows is not known to have worked directly with Mr. Waldron, who has described his military background as involving “information warfare.” However, Rudolph W. Giuliani..has cited Mr. Waldron as a source of information for his legal campaign.
6/".. Mr. Waldron was featured in a film by Mike Lindell, the embattled chief executive of MyPillow who helped finance Mr. Trump’s efforts to challenge the election results.
7/"In the film, Mr. Waldron pushed the unfounded claim that the Chinese government had access to files and data through voting machines. He also claimed that overseas servers in Germany, Spain and Britain somehow played a role in manipulating results.
8/"In five emails sent in late December and early January, Mr. Meadows asked Jeffrey A. Rosen, then the acting attorney general, to examine debunked claims of election fraud in New Mexico
9/"and an array of wild conspiracies that held that Mr. Trump had been the actual winner of the election, according to emails provided to Congress.
10/"The emails included a fantastical theory that people in Italy had used military technology and satellites to remotely tamper with voting machines in the United States and switch votes for Mr. Trump to votes for Mr. Biden" excerpts NYT

More from WaPo on the power point Meadows gave to J6:
Waldron, who was circulating it says he met with Meadows at the WH "on multiple occasions"
Also: Graham, Giuliani & Eastman
And this presentation is complete blueprint for overthrowing the Gov't
Thread: washingtonpost.com/investigations…
2/"[Waldron] said that he visited the White House on multiple occasions after the election, spoke with President Donald Trump’s chief of staff “maybe eight to 10 times” and briefed several members of Congress on the eve of the Jan. 6 riot.
3/"Phil Waldron, the retired colonel, was working with Trump’s outside lawyers and was part of a team that briefed the lawmakers on a PowerPoint presentation detailing “Options for 6 JAN,”
Surprise!
Per WaPo:
Sidney Powell is under federal investigation
A September grand jury subpoena sought records dating back to 11/20
This fed'l prosecutor is also handling J6 matters & Bannon's charges
Thread: washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
2/"Federal prosecutors have demanded the financial records of multiple fundraising organizations launched by attorney Sidney Powell after the 2020 election as part of a criminal investigation, according to a subpoena reviewed by The Washington Post.
3/"The grand jury subpoena, issued in September by the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia, sought communications and other records related to fundraising and accounting by groups including Defending the Republic,
Good Morning..hope you all had a great holiday weekend
Because..
Gov't funding runs out on Friday
New Gov't spending CR must be passed by midnight 12/3 (no one expects a shutdown, but..)
And...
Debt limit deadline 12/15
NDAA
BBB
Brace yourselves:
December will be insane
2/Re NDAA:
Schumer expects to push it thru the Senate without too much trouble
The issue will be GOP amendments
Before Thanksgiving he tried to get a bipartisan agmnt to limit them and at the last minute it fell thru
3/Re Debt ceiling:
Per Yellen gov't will default by 12/15 if this is not resolved
Tho McConnell still doesn't want Dems to use a reconciliation fix he & Schumer appear to be slightly more agreeable about getting it done
Some House chatter @ getting rid of it altogether
We'll see
ICYMI:
Yesterday DC Court of Appeals asked lawyers for Trump, J6 & NARA to prep to argue whether the courts even have the jurisdiction to hear this case
Hearing is Monday
NOT looking good for Trump
Here: nbcnews.com/politics/donal…
2/"[Appeals court] raised the question on its own, meaning it was not suggested by the lawyers in the case.
3/"It asked: "Does the provision in the Presidential Records Act providing that the Archivist’s 'determination whether access to a Presidential record ... shall be restricted ... shall not be subject to judicial review, except as provided in subsection (e) of this section'
Big deal?
The Manhattan DA's office has convened a new grand jury
Tish James is considering a new law suit against Trump
Cy Vance is retiring next month
Is *this* how newly elected Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg will finally be able to criminally indict Trump? washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
2/"'This is way, way beyond anything that’s believable,' said Norm Miller, a professor of real estate finance at the University of San Diego who has appraised properties for 50 years. “I’ve never seen anything with a gap that extreme.”
3/"But extreme is not the same as illegal. Legal experts said that if prosecutors wish to prove a crime, they will need to do more than simply prove Trump’s valuations were wrong.
Remember when Pelosi was on the phone during the Congressional baseball game?
She was talking to Manchin
Good news: she's still working on this
Still helping get BBB thru the Senate
And she is REALLY good: nytimes.com/2021/11/20/us/…
2/"[Pelosi] is still not done, with the Senate now getting a chance to reshape the measure in the hope of eventually sending it back for final House approval and Mr. Biden’s signature.
3/"Mr. Manchin is still demanding major changes, such as the jettisoning of a new four-week paid family and medical leave program that Ms. Pelosi has made a top priority.
