#CornGate 🌽 #3: We will circle back to WHO (The Crew) could have been there with @gagetaylor but the mechanism of items returned is stinky at best. Meaning the chain of custody of the WHAT (items taken) begins to add more questions to the WHY not less. /1
@AxiomStrategies Jessica Flanagain, Special Advisor to then Gov. Ricketts and campaign lead for both Ricketts and Pillen had the stuff that was taken out of @NEGOP WHY? Has she been questioned by authorities? She is not part of the NEGOP staff so WHY in the chain of custody? /2
Did she know WHAT was taken or WHY? Clearly Gage & Crew trusted her with the items. It certainly adds another layer to this “alleged” break in and theft of materials that hasn’t been explored to anyone’s knowledge/3
Chain of custody SNAFU’s cont. NEB RNC Committeeman J.L. Spray prominent LNK Attorney got the WHAT/Stuff from @AxiomStrategies JF and eventually brought it to the NEW @NEGOP. Questioned by LPD? what did he know, when did he know it? WHY was he involved? It’s Odd /4
So, Gage & Crew gave the WHAT/stuff to @AxiomStrategies JF, who gave it to Spray who eventually returned to NEW @NEGOP. That chain of custody is interesting? It makes the WHAT question even more important and opens the door for WHAT WASN’T returned? WHY taken at all?/5
👆🏽the chain of custody opens up more questions than it answers. #CornGate 🌽 So let’s go back to WHO. WHO could have been in the Crew? Gage was there, but WHO else was there? WHAT did they take, WHERE did they go? WHAT transpired prior @AxiomStrategies JF getting the stuff?/6
We will explore Gage & Crew next and all the possibilities and connections personal and political in the next thread of #CornGate 🌽

#CornGate 🌽 SUPPLEMENTAL #1: Why after 5 months does @Lincoln_Police decide to “punt”
asking for special prosecutor? Clearly ZERO no new information was found as they closed it in AUG 2022. Why wouldn’t LPD release investigation to Col Tom Nesbitt and or NEGOP?/1
Why only after s/m disclosure of 👆🏽 dynamic and News FIOA threats has this “punt” occurred? It has needed a special prosecutor from Day 1 or @FBI but the timeline is suspicious and opens @Lincoln_Police to scrutiny of it’s handling of the “alleged” theft. /2
Our Law and Order @MayorLeirion had multiple reasons to ensure this was done right. 1. Why would she not want a white collar crime investigated as detailed as any other? Was she not aware? NO WAY, everyone in this state was aware who follows/cares about politics. /3
#CornGate🌽 #2: WHO was the OLD Executive Director of the @NEGOP? @gagetaylor who was hired quickly by @USRepMikeFlood and is Grandson of Former NE Gov Kay Orr. He was in charge of day to day operations of NEGOP until he choose to resign after the VOTE. He didn’t have too. /1
@gagetaylor comes from a political family. Many of which have served alongside senior NE R officials. Gage voluntarily resigned and left the convention early on July 9 2022. He was in NEGOP HQ after that. He wasn’t alone. /2
The internal NEGOP investigation says as much and more, but lets stick to WHO? WHO else could have been there? Anyone from his political connected family? That would be a good lead to find out? How about his peer group and others that worked closely at NEGOP or R campaigns/3
Truth to Power is the only way to solve @NEGOP “alleged” break-in and “Who dun what, Why?” I will start the NE version of Twitter files to ensure public accountability over our processes and systems. Who knows where it will lead? /1
/2 FULL DISCLOSURE: These r personal thoughts and questions as a NE R, concerned 🇺🇸citizen. I was part of the transition team & acted temporarily as comms director 4-5w & involved with internal asset recovery between OLD/NEW staffs.
Not contacted by @Lincoln_Police
/3 What should have happened on July 9 2022, After a LEGAL and CONSTITUTIONAL VOTE of change in leadership of the NEGOP, the OLD leadership/staff should have waited to go into the HQ to ensure a proper turnover of NEGOP assets to NEW leadership staff. This DID NOT Happen.
