On the evening of Jan 6, @RepScottPerry falsely claimed that 205k more votes than voters had been cast in PA. The claim had already been debunked. #ScottPerryLies 1/
7/ @RepScottPerry also attended @DougMastriano’s sham hearing where Giuliani falsely claimed that more mail ballots had been counted than were sent out. Perry’s cohort, Mastriano, later tweeted the false claim, receiving > 39k RTs. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/06/doug-m…
8/ Somehow (neither Giuliani nor Mastriano ever explained it), Giuliani & Mastriano had mixed up the primary election data & general election data. That mixed up data provided the basis for their bogus claim. Neither man ever apologized or retracted. #GiulianiLies#MastrianoLies
9/ Trump retweeted the false claim too. I’m still trying to figure out how many RTs Trump got. Guessing it’s more than Mastriano’s 39k. 😡
10/ Yes, Trump also tweeted the bogus claim about 205k more votes than voters in PA. So that makes two false PA claims that he helped go viral. Never retracted. Never apologized. #TrumpLies
14/ Thread. Seems that Scott Perry’s bogus claim re: 205k extra votes may have started w/ @RussDiamond & Frank Ryan and it goes deep. @R5Philly has also tried to catch the media’s attention about it. 👀
21/ “Mastriano and Perry pushed a false claim that originated in the Pennsylvania House when state Rep. Frank Ryan, R-Lebanon, in December said there were 205,000 more votes than voters in the 2020 presidential election in Pennsylvania.” ydr.com/story/news/pol…
22/ The bogus claim of 205k more votes than voters in PA “was based on incomplete data, according to the Dept of State. He had taken incomplete counts from a statewide election database where #s from Philadelphia, Allegheny, Butler & Cambria counties hadn't been uploaded yet.”
23/ If @RepScottPerry, @RussDiamond, etc. promoted this faulty claim even after learning that the SURE data was incomplete, might that constitute fraud against the US? What did they know and when did they know it? @January6thCmte
34/ Eastman and Perry were still trying to persuade Pence to overturn the result on the night of Jan 6 (after the riot). Again, it was that night that Perry cited the already debunked claim about 205k extra votes on the House floor. 👀 businessinsider.com/john-eastman-e…
I told you there’s a history btwn @RepStephMurphy & Jacob Engels, Roger Stone’s “mini me” who is closely tied to the Proud Boys, worked as Enrique Tarrio’s press manager, & spread a vicious lie re: Joel Greenberg’s political opponent. He is freaking out about tomorrow. 1/
2/ I do not want to help him out by providing a link. But I watched most of it for you. In sum, he says he got drunk on the night of Jan 5 and didn’t wake up until the insurrection was already underway on Jan 6.
3/ He says the Committee already shld know this, so I’m not sure why he’s so freaked out. Then again, he’s not exactly known for truth telling. Google what he said about Joel Greenberg’s political opponent, Brian Beute. Engels is as sick & depraved as his mentor, Roger Stone.
On 12/22/21, WaPo reported that “Perry has denied sending the ‘Please check your Signal’ text to Meadows.” CNN later confirmed that the message was indeed sent by Perry. Oops. #ScottPerryLies 1/ washingtonpost.com/politics/jan-6…
Neither Barr nor @GaSecofState (Raffensperger) care much that Trump & his allies tried to steal the election. They just didn’t want to expose themselves to criminal liability by actively participating. This is especially worrisome re: Raffensperger bc he is still SOS. #gapol 1/
A Secretary of State who is fine with others cheating—as long as he isn’t asked to help—is a recipe for disaster. The SOS is responsible for election security. 2/
“I’ll just ignore this little breach bc I wasn’t involved…” 3/
Whoa. This shld be interesting. Roger Stone’s longtime assistant, Jacob Engels, took credit for @RepStephMurphy’s decision to not seek a second term in Congress. He had harassed her for years. Engels was with Stone at the Willard on Jan 5. He’s a longtime Proud Boys associate. 1/
