What a week, huh? Saturday’s are usually the days where I’ll recycle a thread or two. Maybe send something you may have missed along the way and you can catch up on reading over a nice warm mug. Not today. Today, we ask questions about North Carolina. A wee Saturday🧵👇🏻
This article gives us an important reminder or two…Mark Meadows is from NC. He was trump’s Chief of staff. This 👇🏻is telling us that Col Psyops used Meadows office in the WH to brief SC Sen Lindsey Graham. 📌
@weareoversight has received 1000s of docs from AZ. They asked for info regarding communications of Senate Pro Tem Phil Berger and his legislative assistant Robin Braswell in NC too.
Why?🤷🏼♂️
The names on this list include those who are showing to be integral to the AZ audit.
There was no audit in North Carolina other than what the govt themselves did. But it’s not like team trump didn’t try to have one in NC too because here is a letter telling the members of the House Freedom Caucus they can’t have access to voting machines.
So did the same ask that resulted in a slate of false electors for 7 states get made in North Carolina too? Did someone ask their House Freedom Caucus to make the request to randomly check the voting machines? Are they the same people involved in the Arizona audit?
I’m guessing, Yes. Here is a similar request for information letter sent to NC House Rep Keith Kidwell. Any familiar names?
If North Carolina was asked to create false electors just in case, and they said no, or the trump team wasn’t interested because NC uses ES&S and not Dominion voting machines, or the trump team just didn’t push so hard because they won NC, we need to know that.
There might be a story to tell in NC. The one where a state knew the plan and didn’t act on it. We should probably hear about that.
📌 I pinned the item about Waldron briefing Lindsey Graham in the Meadows CoS WH office because it illustrates just how involved Waldron was. What could he have been ‘briefing’ Lindsey on? Surely, there will be more to come about this. Let’s keep an eye out for it.
If you’re reading this bit here, thank you. Now go enjoy your day. You’re awesome! Go do that thing that makes you smile.

1. Grey’s Anatomy. Big show, right? Millions of people watch it. It became like a thing for awhile there, remember team McDreamy or team McSteamy? It was so big, even I know about it as a pop culture reference.
A wee SCOTUS 🧵👇🏻
2. Ok, so medical rom/com/dramas may not be your thing, maybe you like rockets. Rockets are badass. The ones that break through Earth’s atmosphere to allow for people to orbit the Earth, travel to the Moon and back, explore the farthest reaches of our imagination, is badass.
3. Ooh or Spies! Everyone likes a good spy story right? The danger, the bravery, the intrigue. The amount of courage it takes to move between two sides of a war knowing if the enemy found you out, you would surely be done for. Risking your own life to save others. Heroic.
Justice Breyer is retiring, Justice Thomas’ wife needs scrutiny, Justices Duff-man, No Mask and Blank Sheet have no business being on the court, but we might need to start talking about Justice Alito. Let’s let Sidney Powell show us why.🧵👇🏻
Former judge and current congressman from Texas’ 1st District Louie Gohmert filed a lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence. Well, his lawyers filed the lawsuit. His lawyers were from a group called Defending the Republic. See below to know who that is.
Gohmert, sorry Sidney Powell argued that the Electoral Count Act was unconstitutional (📌1). This article from Powell also now reveals that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and his number 2, Whip Steve Scalise, worked to support Gohmert and Powell’s efforts.
Here is the decision to detain Stewart Rhodes. He will be held until his trial. Read this to learn Rhodes hasn’t filed taxes since 2007, he is in a relationship with Kellye Sorrelle (duh) oh…and the violence.
This was not an unarmed insurrection. 🧵👇🏻
I want to pay particularly close attention to the part about what ‘the Serbian’ was advising. Remember, Rhodes has been at this for awhile. He’s been building infrastructure. This seems an awful lot like Oathkeepers efforts to reach out to local sheriffs. Constitutional Sheriffs.
The evidence of the many paths to the coup is mounting. We were told Jeffrey Bossert Clark refused to answer @January6thCmte questions and just left. But the transcript of the hearing is 50 pages. He didn’t just leave, you guys. Let’s look deeper 🧵👇🏻
Clark refused to answer questions claiming executive privilege that the president himself, through his legal advisor in Georgia Doug Collins (📌1), didn’t even claim. trump actually explicitly, stated he would ‘not seek judicial intervention to prevent [Clark’s] testimony.’
But Clark still refused to provide answers. Why?
It’s gotta be because he is in seriously deep s#it, he knows it, he exposes himself to significant legal jeopardy if he says the wrong thing, and the info he can share is the only hope he has of avoiding a life in prison.
Karen Fann is the AZ State Senate President. Rudy Giuliani is overseeing the effort to seat false electors. Christina Bobb is a reporter for OAN. Why did Rudy ask Bobb to forward declarations to Fann?🧵👇🏻
In essence, these ‘declarations’ were the statements of people who had thought they were witnessing ‘rampant voter fraud’ as one person put it. Here is the email from OAN reporter, I mean JAG officer, I mean CEO of Voices and Votes, I mean Rudy team member Bobb.
“Mayor Giuliani asked me.” 👆🏻👀👆🏻
And here, I thought the reporters were supposed to be asking the questions. Questions to Karen Fann like:
“At what point did you become aware of a plot to seat alternate electors?”
🚨Do you remember the thread where we found out there was a group of people canvassing New Hampshire voters *after* the election? That the whole point was to see if people would be willing to provide affidavits attesting to election irregularities? Well, it wasn’t just in NH.🧵👇🏻
Here is that thread about NH, affidavits, Ivan Raiklin, Seth Keshel and there is even a picture of David Clement in there.
