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.
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.
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.
Blinken says we are sending five M-17 helicopter. Prepared to deploy 8,500 warriors, sanctions, export controls. Stepping up assistance with allies to Ukraine. Looking to bolster UKR’s economy, assure global energy supply is not destabilized through surging natgas stockpiles.
Re Embassy staff family: based on safety as Russian forces amassing on borders. Updated travel advisory: strongly consider leaving using private options.
Q/A
Upholding principle of NATO’s open door as we have done for years. There is no change and will be no change. It’s the alliance’s decision.
Hey, remember how when Bernie Kerik turned over documents to the J6C at the end of 2021, they included a 22-page “blueprint” to pressure statehouse GOPs into going along with the scheme?
If you happen to be thinking about Pennsylvania, when should remember that the Turkish cleric Gulin moved there. Erdogan wants him extradited.
Could this tie into the J6 activities?
Let’s start with this 2017 thread full of Flynn’s movements.
It suggests that Alptekin’s Inovo hire Flynn to sway Trump admin to extradite the cleric. Doing so would advance the interests of a multibillion energy play.
My hunch was the deal is w/ Turkstream, a pipeline that would bypass Ukraine to deliver Russian gas to Europe.
It’s actually petrol from Kazakhstan, but I digress.
While the USA press has been discussing the potential for trouble in Ukraine, it seems to have missed much of what’s actually going on this month in Kazakhstan following protests over natural gas price hikes. A lot of people have died & disappeared.
This is the best explainer at a macro level I can track down.
After protests began organically, the oligarchy called in outside help. They are part of a regional alliance the #csto which naturally includes their neighbors to the north. Like NATO for the “stans”.
So military resources were sent. They did their job and stabilized things.
