“What did Steve Bannon know and when did he know it? Ask his Pennsylvania pals [including Frank Scavo].” by Jennifer Cohn link.medium.com/ofp25pPoLmb
“Bannon has spoken at several events — on October 2020, December 29, 2020, and October 2021 — alongside Sean Moon, the leader of a Trump-loving ‘Christian’ sect in Pennsylvania called the Rod of Iron Ministries, which worships with AR-15 automatic rifles.” 1/
2/ “Moon, who often wears a crown of bullet casings, was videotaped outside the Capitol on January 6, 2021, with some of his followers, as reported by DC Report.”
3/ “During the December 29 speaking engagement with Bannon, Moon was introduced by Frank Scavo, a local Pennsylvania man from Old Forge.”
4/ “Old Forge is a tiny enclave. In March 2020, Bannon’s associate, Ernie Preate, a convicted felon and former Pennsylvania AG [and soon to be Scavo defense counsel] took Bannon to a pizzeria in Old Forge called Arcaro & Genell.”
5/ “Trump himself [bizarrely] visited Old Forge for a small campaign rally on August 20, 2020, the date of Bannon’s arrest on charges that he misused funds from his ‘Build the Wall’ project.” Scavo was there.
6/ “That day, Trump made an unscheduled visit to Arcaro & Genell. (Photo via National Journal)”
7/ “This Twitter account says that Trump ‘had a very small meeting with select Trump supporters’ that summer in Old Forge. I asked for details [was it during this campaign stop in August?] but received no response.”

9/ “Many are afraid to say it, but this is not a close race
The reasons Trump was underestimated in 2016 no longer apply. In fact, he's his own worst enemy.” - August 2020 nationaljournal.com/s/709328/many-…
10/ “On December 30, Scavo called into Bannon’s War Room podcast to publicize a pro-Trump rally outside a state lawmaker’s home, which was attended by Moon and his followers in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Scavo later said that he got the idea for the protest from Bannon’s podcast.”
11/ “The same day, Bannon allegedly advised Trump to focus his efforts on January 6.”
12/ “On January 3, according to Lancaster online, the Oathkeepers and other “patriot groups” held their final January 6 planning meeting in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.”
13/ “On his January 5 podcast, as reported by Media Matters, Bannon said that “‘we put calls out last night trying to put bail up’ for the leader of the Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio.”
14/ “Bannon also boasted that “after hours we’re on skyping these calls in Lackawanna county [where Old Forge is located] and to patriot groups around and conservative groups and Tea Party groups…”

BREAKING: A new whistleblower report alleges that a former DOGE member claimed he kept his SSA computer & credentials w/ “God-level” access to SSA systems. Yet the “Save America Act” wld force every state to rely on a voter-purge system dependent on SSA data, creating a national election security threat. 1/
A whistleblower says a former DOGE member claimed he kept his SSA computer & credentials w/ “God-level” access to SSA systems. Yet the “Save America Act” wld force every state to rely on a voter-purge system dependent on SSA data, creating a national election security threat. 1/
A basic “rule of computer security is to never create a ‘single point of failure,’ meaning a centralized system…whose compromise wld cause widespread damage.” The Trump admin’s “SAVE” voter purge system—an underreported key part of the “Save America Act”—violates this rule. 1/
Here’s the complaint in the lawsuit still pending against DOGE & SSA: “Never before has a group of unelected, unappointed, & unvetted individuals—misleadingly & conflictingly described as White House employees, employees of agencies (multiple & many), & undefined ‘advisors’—-sought or gained access to such sensitive
information from agencies across the Executive Branch.” 1/
3/ It’s in this case that the Trump administration recently made the following admission (contradicting initial denials) about DOGE’s mishandling of SSA’s data. x.com/jennycohn1/sta…x.com/jennycohn1/sta…
The SAVE America Act wld compel every state to submit their voter rolls to the DHS for purposes of running this data through DHS’s “SAVE” voter purge program, which was created in “partnership” w/ the SSA—whose data was mishandled by DOGE, as the DOJ now admits. #NoOnSAVE 1/
BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/
