Seeing as there is so much going on with the J6C, it’s time to share a chart showing some of the key conservative legal groups, including the so-called Honest Elections Project, Judicial Watch, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), and True the Vote.

PILF’s John Eastman is making news today.

It’s true. HE PLED THE FIFTH 146 TIMES.

That’s what people do when they have nothing to hide, ammirite?

This link is from December 3. He appeared before J6C on December 8.

According to Ruby’s fabulous chart, he had to turn over documents on November 22.

PILF’s founder, the inimitable Cleta Mitchell was the one Mark Meadows called on November 4 when he wanted help launching a challenge to the certification. She was on Trump’s call to Georgia, where he tried to shake down Raffensperg for about 11,781 votes.

For more on True the Vote’s role in insurrecting, please read Gal’s great thread.

TTV has a new initiative, judging from their webpage. It looks to me like they’re recruiting their supporters to essential go bounty hunting on the voter rolls. Like Cyber Ninjas, but in advance. They plan to challenge voter registrations in all 50 states with the IV3 project.

And oh, look, Jim Hoft’s pals are flooding the zone. Interesting to see that Disney News was the first to share this copy/paste effort. I suppose all those tweets should be reported, since the pundit is banned here on the bird app.

Moving on, this thread has about three tweets on Judicial Watch. Look, another mind map. :)

The thing that sticks with me is the zoom call where my pals told me about all the junk mail their senile parents got from the grifters.

For some reason, Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton stopped tweeting quite soon after J6. Hmm. Perhaps it’s his sedition adjacency.

His last tweet? That “area sub stacker” in Brazil who I recall so well from 2016.

The so-called Honest Elections Project run by Neil Corkery has as many aliases as the proverbial Carter had liver pills. Call it The 85 Fund, call it the Judicial Education Project, call it the Judicial Crisis Network. Just don’t call it late for dinner.

They really dished it out #Kochtopus last summer, joining ALEC to host an “exclusive, invitation-only academy” for state lawmakers” with “expert-led talks on polling, litigation, & federal overreach.”

Here’s a shot of their landing page. If they’re so honest, you’d think you could find a list of who is on their board of directors, but nooooo, you can not.

Despite that all those election lawsuits filed after 2020 were shot down in the courts, they go ahead with Big Lie.

According to the 85 Fund’s 990, Todd Graves is the chair. But we know that it is Leonard Leo who is the funder. This Senate testimony from last March is some fascinating reading.

Kind of weird how Ginni Thomas gave Leonard Leo an award in 2017, when he was in the midst of getting the Supreme Court he wanted.

And then they gave money to Turning Point USA, as did mega-donor Donors Trust. Dark money galore!

I’d like to include a bit more about Donors Trust funding of far right groups who turned up at the Capitol on January 6, courtesy of the National Catholic Reporter.

Let’s note that all the chairs of these outfits - Cleta Mitchell at PILF, Catherine Engelbrecht at TTV, Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch, & Leonard Leo are #CouncilforNationalPolicy members, as are Ginni Thomas & Charlie Kirk.

These conservative legal groups are sedition adjacent.

There’s more to be said, some other time, some other thread. Fight the good fight, tweeps.

Please help me keep track of this and unroll @threadreaderapp

Thinking this bodes well for the challenges to subpoenas of phone records by Meadows, Mitchell, & others.

John Eastman, who pled the Fifth 🔥146🔥✖️fails in effort to quash Chapman records subpoena.

Also thinking Look Ahead Americ belongs on a soon to be created, related chart on “Election Integrity” QAnonservatives.
