Sidney Powell’s team cld not get Gohmert’s SCOTUS brief—asking Alito to stay certification of Biden’s win to allow briefing on Eastman’s BS legal theory—until 3:51 pm on Jan 6. A Republican Congressman tried earlier that day but failed. Is this when the breach was ordered? 1/ Image
2/ The screenshot in post 1 is from this article by Sidney Powell. archive.vn/2021.09.18-034…
3/ Gohmert’s brief was based on Eastman’s legal theory that Pence had discretion to reject the real electors & count the fake ones and/or throw it back to the states. Even Eastman knew the theory wld fail on the merits. Image
4/ BUT they apparently though that, if Alito got the brief on time (Alito has Gohmert’s district), he wld order a temporary stay to allow briefing on this bullsh#t legal theory. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/2… Image
5/ They needed more time to twist whatever arms they had to twist & pull whatever strings they had to pull to get an ODNI report falsely claiming that there was evidence of widespread foreign interference, thus enabling them to invoke the executive order they were so keen on.
6/ They seemed to believe that if they cld invoke the Executive Order, this wld enable them to declare martial law and re-run the election.
7/ They seemed to think they cld re-run the election through USAID, which Trump had apparently corrupted with this idea in mind. Image
8/ But they needed that damn ODNI report. When they didn’t get it by 12/18, they had that wild meeting at the WH. Image
9/ It appears that Gohmert’s brief was a delay tactic. And when the brief didn’t get to Alito on time, the Capitol was breached to give Alito more time. They did not expect Nancy to reconvene Congress until at least the following day. But she outsmarted them.
10/ This action plan would explain why there was a rally planned outside SCOTUS itself. “TPM’s reporting suggests that the Ellipse rally organizers intended to hold a separate 2 p.m. ET event on the steps of the Supreme Court,..” talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/janu…
11/ I actually think the breach served multiple purposes. But delaying the certification was an important one.
12/ Note also that Stone, Powell, etc seemed to want Trump to invoke the Executive Order and/or the Insurrection Act even w/o the ODNI report.
13/ It’s not a stretch to think that Trump wld have Invoked the Insurrection Act had the bombs gone off and/or had anti-fascist protesters shown up and battled w/ pro-Trump protesters. But neither occurred.
14/ Does anyone have a link or other source confirming that Posobiec and Raheem were outside SCOTUS until 1 pm on Jan 6? @PiperK Image
15/ Does anyone know the identity of the Republican Congressman who tried to deliver Gohmert’s brief to SCOTUS on Jan 6 and when exactly he was turned away? @January6thCmte
16/ Time. They needed more time. They needed to delay certification. Because they didn’t have that damn ODNI brief & Trump was not persuaded to invoke the Insurrection Act or EO without it.
17/ Gohmert participated in the Dec 21 meeting.
18/ Gohmert was among the people for whom Roger Stone sought a pardon.
19/ This explains the Jan 5 rally outside SCOTUS too.
20/
21/ PS. I think this is probably obvious but I accidentally left off the word “docketed” in post 1: “Sidney Powell’s team cld not get Gohmert’s SCOTUS brief—asking Alito to stay certification of Biden’s win to allow briefing on Eastman’s BS legal theory—DOCKETED until 3:51 pm…”
22/ Roger Stone was not only seemingly on board with the SCOTUS/Gohmert component of the plan, but also w/ the Executive Order/foreign interference component. He & Alex Jones discussed it as shown by @gal_suburban.
23/ It also explains why Roger Stone made a fool of himself trying to suggest there was foreign interference in the election. Image
24/ Where was General Flynn after Trump’s speech on Jan 6? On 12/16/20, the “national council of Three Percenters” issued a statement, “We stand ready & are standing by… We are ready to enter battle with GENERAL FLYNN leading the charge. WE WILL NOT ACT UNLESS WE ARE TOLD TO.” Image
25/ Wow. This is Herschel Walker’s son on 12/12/20. He’s friends w/ David Leatherwood who spoke at an event with Roger Stone on 12/13/20. Image
26/
27/ Christian Walker, David Leatherwood, Rich Grenell. Image
28/ Grenell and Ratcliffe were working together on the “intelligence” for that ODNI report that Trump had hoped to receive by 12/18, the one mentioned by Grenell’s friend, Christian Walker on 12/12.
29/ Correction to post 25. Christian Walker’s friend David Leatherwood attended a Roger Stone event on 12/14, not 12/13. Image
30/ He was so sure his pal Grenell would meet the 12/18/20 deadline & save the day for Trump. Image
31/ 👀 Image
31/ To recap: Trump wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act & then use a corrupted US Aid to re-run the election. To do that, he needed a pretext, something official confirming election interference. When he lost in court, he hoped to use the ODNI report instead. But they …
32/ needed more time bc they did not have the report yet. So they hoped to use Eastman’s BS legal theory as a pretext to get Alito to stay the Jan 6 certification of Biden’s win to allow time to brief & argue the BS theory.
33/ Except the real purpose of the proposed stay fwas to buy more time to get “official” confirmation of foreign interference from ODNI or any other agency he cld corrupt.
34/ Flynn & Powell apparently thought they had created enough smoke to allow Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act even w/o “official” confirmation of foreign interference. But Trump had cold feet. So they tried to get the stay.
35/ But they couldn’t get the brief docketed in time for Alito to issue the stay before the planned certification at about 2 pm. So they needed the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers etc to stop the certification process to give their Alito plan a chance.
36/ They got Gohmert’s brief docketed at 3:51 pm on Jan 6. Trump called off the mob soon after. Image
37/ Alternatively, had the bombs gone off and/or had their been a massive clash between Trump supporters and anti-fascists, Trump might have used that as a pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act.
38/ In any event, bc Congress had been evacuated, Powell apparently thought the insurrection had bought enough time for Alito to issue the stay (presumably the next morning). But Pelosi outsmarted them by calling Congress back that night and certifying Biden’s win.
39/ Alito and Thomas are fans of hearing cases, even if they deem them frivolous. The question is not whether Alito would have agreed w/ Gohmert’s BS legal theory, but rather whether (had he received the brief b4 1 or 2 pm) he wld have stayed certification…
40/ … to allow Gohmert’s BS legal theory to be briefed & heard.
32/ This. Did @January6thCmte get Ginni Thomas’s communications with Alito? (I don’t think they did.) If not, why not? @TheJusticeDept #Alito #January6th
33/ I had missed or forgotten that Ginni had promoted Sidney Powell. @EricLondonSEP Image
34/ Image
35/ I want to emphasize that the ultimate strategic goal, invoking the Insurrection Act based on unfounded claims of widespread fraud, was first proposed by Roger Stone in September 2020. Flynn, Powell & others promoted it later. #AllRoadsLeadToRogerStone mediamatters.org/roger-stone/ro… Image
36/ @gal_suburban told me about this previously. The ODNI report wasn’t ready by the deadline bc it showed ** Russian ** interference. Lol. So Grenell was working on (politicizing) the intelligence. Image
37/ nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/…
38/ If you aren’t following @gal_suburban, you should be! Thread.
39/
40/ Roger Stone w/ Rick Grenell & LeAnn Tweeden’s radio boss in 2017. Leann Tweeden accused Al Franken of sexual harassment. @alfranken ImageImage
41/ While Grenell scrambled to “edit” the ODNI report after the 12/18 deadline, Roger Stone told Alex Jones that “Grenell is one of the most outstanding individuals that I’ve had the pleasure to meet and be friends with. He’s a man of enormous courage & enormous knowledge.”
42/ Ugh. I forgot this. I believe that Radcliffe and Grenell worked together. Image
43/ 👀 Justice Alito’s former clerk (Senator Mike Lee) promoted the plan proposed by John Eastman (Justice Thomas’s former clerk) & texted w/ Trump’s chief of staff (Mark Meadows). WTAF?! @January6thCmte @TheJusticeDept #Alito
44/ Backup screenshot. Image
45/ Sweet Jesus.
#Meadows
#Eastman (Justice Thomas)
#MikeLee (Justice Alito) #JoshHawley (Justice Roberts)
#January6thInsurrection
46/ Senator Mike Lee = Alito’s former law clerk. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
47/ Interesting. I don’t believe Meadows turned over all of his texts. I wonder if Lee spoke w/ Alito re: Gohmert’s brief filed on Jan 6. archive.vn/2022.04.16-041… Image
48/ Roger Stone apparently approved of Mike Lee’s efforts to overturn the election, whatever they were. Image
49/ Naturally.

Surprise, surprise. At Princeton, Pete Hegseth studied under Robert George, a close associate of SCOTUS puppet master Leonard Leo. The two of them apparently remained in touch. 1/ dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/1…Image

This is maddening. Speaking of the 2004 election in Ohio, John Kerry told Brian Lehrer in 2018 that “The problem for us was we were doubting whether the [voting] machines themselves had been appropriately measured & whether the algorithms were correct, etc. We challenged that ahead of time by the way. People don’t know that. And we were told by the court that we were not able to get that algorithm, to check it, bc it was  proprietary information.

And I believe that it was absolutely incorrect that in the United States of America, the election for the presidency of the United States should somehow be the purview of privately owned machines where the public doesn’t have the right to know whether the algorithms can be checked or whether they are hackable or not. And we now know they are hackable. 

But we knew as we sat there to decide where to go in terms of the challenge, that we were a nation at war, we had just been through a Supreme Court test of an election four years earlier. I thought once I measured it that whatever constitutional challenge we brought or whatever appropriate challenge we  brought to the ballots that were counted, it was going to wind up ultimately in the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court would do the same thing that it did before. We would take the country through a three month exercise with a 5/4 decision that would award the presidency back to George Bush.

Now some people may think that’s the right thing to have done. I thought it would have been horrendous for our country one year into a war, at that moment when there were serious doubts about terrorism and other things, to be going through a long period of questioning of the presidency, and I didn’t think it was the right thing to do for the nation.” 1/ @VP @marceelias

This election was not as close as 2016. But unlike 2016, we know that MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states b4 the 2024 election. Yes, I think Ds will concede w/o seeking recounts, even if they have doubts. I think that’s what they did in 2016. 1/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…Image

WTAF?! Four Georgia counties supposedly gave Garland Favorito backups of their Dominion voting system databases before the 2024 election?! And MAGAs also imply that they have analyzed Dominion databases in AZ, NM, & MI & claim to have found a “hard-coded globally used password” to all of these systems, which they published in a report, also before the election? And MAGAs then pranced around with the password on teeshirts, again before the election?! @marceelias @vp #gapol 1/ ballotassure.com/Reports/Securi…Image
Image
2/ Honestly, WTH?! Image
3/ You can even buy Dominion password teeshirts on Amazon. This is insanely brazen. Where the f#ck was the media?! Image

Dear @VP: You once wrote that, “It is misleading to suggest that impenetrable cybersecurity is possible; our focus must be on … detecting … any effort to harm us,” and we “can’t afford to be naive.” As you know, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states & Rs blocked the #SAFEAct, which wld have required rigorous manual audits for federal races. Why have you NOT requested manual recounts or at least ballot images? 1/Image
