The @January6thCmte report gives new details about the role Sen. Mike Lee played in the scheme to have states appoint alternate electors to help overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
The report says Lee "spent a month encouraging the idea of having State legislatures endorse competing electors for Trump."

Lee has claimed he was investigating "rumors" of alternate electors, but the report concludes he had a more active role #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
Newly public text messages show Lee was in contact with senior Trump legal adviser Cleta Mitchell, who advised Donald Trump during the infamous phone call where he pressured Georgia election officials to "find" 11,780 votes.

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
In the week ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection, Lee's messages to Mitchell show him souring on the alternate elector plot, seemingly understanding it was doomed to fail because no state legislatures had signed on #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
The report also reveals that Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani called Lee's phone after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was over.

Lee was one of several Republicans in Congress Giuliani called after Trump posted a video online telling the rioters to go home #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
At some point, Giuliani left a voicemail on Lee's phone that was intended for Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville.

The message from Giuliani urged Tuberville to object to the certification of electoral votes #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
Lee shared Giuliani's voicemail with then-national security adviser Robert O'Brien.

"You've got to listen to that message. Rudy is walking malpractice," Lee texted O'Brien #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
Lee's office did not respond to questions about whether they disagreed with the report's conclusions or if he spoke to Giuliani on Jan. 6 following the Capitol riot #utpol

🚨WHOA!

1/ In a @January6thCmte transcript, Sidney Powell says Sen. Mike Lee invited her to a meeting to discuss what she "was seeing and finding."

Powell alleged deceased Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez had rigged voting machines to steal votes from Donald Trump #utpol
2/ It sure seems Sen. Lee met with Powell more than once following the 2020 election.

Q: If he said that he spoke to you several times regarding your claims or theories with respect to the election, would that jive with your memory?

A: I certainly wouldn't dispute it #utpol
3/ It also seems likely that Sidney Powell provided Sen. Mike Lee with some sort of proof to back up her claims #utpol

1/ The subpoenas are flying in the lawsuit claiming Utah's congressional maps are an illegal gerrymander.

A dozen people were served this week, including all four Utah Republicans in Congress and former Rep. Rob Bishop #utpol #utleg

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
2/ A source familiar with the case told me the subpoenas are seeking documents and other records relating to the drawing of the new maps during the redistricting process #utpol #utleg

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
3/ A separate court filing requesting information from the #utleg asks for draft maps not approved by lawmakers, communications with current or former members of Congress and contacts with Gov. Spencer Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson #utpol

1/ Recently, I told you how @goud4clerk made posts on Telegram where he claimed Democrats cheated and stole the 2020 election.

There were lots of other posts from Maragani expressing anti-vax, anti-mask and other far-right beliefs #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
2/ In this post from July, 2021, Maragani responds to a story alleging students were told to hide 'equity survey' questions from parents.

"It's what commies do. We need 100% school choice so parents can pull their kids out of government schools," Maragani wrote #utpol "It's what commies do. We need 100% school choice so pa
3/ Also from July, 2021, Maragani says he wants elected officials who will "impeach" the chief justice of the Utah Supreme Court because he issued a mask mandate during the COVID pandemic.

"If he's issuing mask mandates, he won't rule conservatively on other issues" #utpol

1/ The question remains: When did @goud4clerk determine the 2020 election was not stolen?

That change had to have happened sometime within the last four months.

He has not responded to my questions about when the shift happened #utpol
2/ I recently found a video of @goud4clerk participating in a panel discussion prior to a screening of the election conspiracy movie "2000 Mules."

That was May 27 of this year #utpol
3/ "2000 Mules" is the widely debunked "documentary" from Dinseh D'Souza that claims non-profit groups are paying volunteers (the mules) to traffic ballots to different drop boxes #utpol

Maragani's claim that 14,000 ballots cannot be attributed to registered voters is not true.

It comes from an analysis from Cindy Butler, who was a speaker at election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell's "Moment of Truth" summit #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
The Clerk's office walked me through the claim which is based on comparing multiple data sets from different points in time.

They say they've explained this to Maragani and others several times.
I'm going to try to explain this, so try to follow along. It's complicated #utpol

Good morning from Alta High School.

I'm here for the Salt Lake County GOP's quarterly central committee meeting.

Almost all of the seats in the #utleg in play are in Salt Lake County, so this meeting is very important with just over two months to go until election day #utpol
County party chairman @cnull tells me they feel good about picking up some seats in the #utleg this year, but he's also feeling pressure to deliver.

Null says redistricting was favorable for the GOP, which is a reason why he's feeling some optimism #utpol
As the meeting gets underway, somebody in the back yells, "Let's hear it for Republicans!"

His exhortation gets a smattering of applause.

"That was weak," he said.

Chairman Null jokes about playing AC/DC music to pump everybody up.

"Not everybody likes that," he says #utpol
