Know your extremists. Attorney Michael Farris is a religious zealot who tried to overthrow the 2020 election, endorsed Mark Meadows (who burned documents) for the position of chief of staff, & mentored Jenna Ellis who was recently censured 4 spreading BS about election fraud. 1/
Michael Farris ghost wrote Ken Paxton’s brief which sought to overturn the election. @clearing_fog 2/ archive.ph/2022.10.19-110…
3/ Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows was “endorsed by [evangelical extremist lawyer] Michael Farris, a member of the CNP’s Board of Governors and the President & current CEO of the Alliance Defending Freedom.” By @anelsona , April 2020 #Christofascism 3/ thedailybeast.com/what-is-trump-…
Michael Farris founded the Christian extremist nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), which led the successful effort to overturn Roe v Wade. Erin Hawley (Josh Hawley’s wife) works 4 them as a lawyer. She was part of the team that did the deed. 4/ realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2022/…
Michael Farris is a Christian homeschooling (& private Christian school) proponent who also founded the Parental Rights Foundation to successfully oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. His group works w/ Moms 4 Liberty, which uses “parental rights” as a slogan. 5/
7/ The Parental Rights Foundation (founded by religious zealot Michael Farris) collaborates w/ Moms4Liberty.
8/ Extremist Michael Farris w/ extremist Jenna Ellis.
9/ More of Farris w/ Ellis
10/ This describes extremist Jenna Ellis and extremist Michael Farris as co-authors of a book. scribd.com/book/524036244
11/ Michael Farris also has a Christian College, Patrick Henry, which has hosted the militant Black Robe Regiment of Virginia. @TheJusticeDept archive.ph/2023.03.22-155…
12/ I wrote about the militant Black Robe Regiment and its ties to Flynn and the Oath Keepers here for @BucksCoBeacon. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/09/michae…
13/ From my article. The head of the Black Robe Regiment of Virginia (the group hosted by Farris) wore an Oath Keepers shirt when he spoke on stage during the Jericho March on Dec 12, 2020 in DC.
14/ Also from my article: The Black Robe Regiment of Virginia (“America’s Black Robe Regiment”) wrote in April 2021 that, “We are all Oath Keepers now.” (There are multiple “black robe regiment” groups, but William Cook’s VA-based group is the one tied to Farris’s college.)
15/ Again, Jenna Ellis is a protege of Michael Farris. pbs.org/newshour/polit…
16/ Again, Mark (“Document Burner”) Meadows was endorsed by Michael Farris.
17/ Farris, Farris, Farris. He’s all over this mess.
18/ And I didn’t even mention that Farris’s college (Patrick Henry) has hosted Alexey Komov, the right hand man of indicted Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev. Komov and thus Malofeev have infiltrated the Christian Right via the Christian homeschooling movement.
19/ The World Congress of Families is the top group linking the Kremlin to the Christian Right. Komov is the WCF’s official Russian emissary. Multiple Christian Right operatives involved w/ WCF were also involved w/ efforts to overturn the 2020 election. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
20/ Examples include John Eastman, Jim Garlow, Steve Turley, Charles Bausman, Ed Martin, Stephen Brown, and (of course) Michael Farris & his associates at the Home School Legal Defense Association (another group founded by Farris). homeschoolersanonymous.net/tag/world-cong…
22/ I wrote about Steve Turley, Charles Bausman, and their involvement with the World Congress of Families here for @BucksCoBeacon. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/07/produc…
23/ I wrote about Stephen Brown and his ties to the World Congress of Families here for @BucksCoBeacon. buckscountybeacon.com/2022/10/domini…
24/
25/ Whoa. I had known (but forgot) about Farris’s involvement with the 1776 commission. I had not known that “patriotic education” was the goal. (In MAGA talk, “patriot” often equates w/ extreme Christianity. See “Patriot Mobil.”) via @capitolhunters

👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/ Image

2/ The article was published several weeks ago. Here’s the link: journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/wp-conten…
3/ I’ve been waiting for the article to drop since last year.

While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/ Image
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
3/ Backup. Image

Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/ Image
3/ Note that this reported Trump/Epstein party would have been around the time of Epstein’s 40th birthday. Image

ICYMI, during the 2016 presidential campaign, “Epstein invited [Peter] Thiel and [Thomas] Barrack to separate meetings with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. **** Thiel, who had several interactions with Epstein starting in 2014, according to the documents, said his Oct 2016 meeting with Epstein & Churkin featured ‘nothing memorable.’
‘I was rather naive,’ Thiel said in an interview, ‘and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.’ Barrack, founder of Colony Capital and a longtime Trump ally, declined to comment.” 1/ archive.is/2023.09.03-150…Image

Tulsi’s report seems to me like an attempt to distract. As I detailed on Medium, Obama stated in Dec 2016 that, “We have not seen evidence of machines being tampered with *** That doesn’t mean that we find every single potential probe of every single voting machine across the country. But we paid a lot of attention to it. We worked with state election officials, etc. And we feel confident that that didn’t occur.” 1/Image
If anything, I felt that Obama and others provided false assurances to the public about the legitimacy of Trump’s win in 2016. I explained my concerns in detail here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…Image

A whistleblower alleged that staff of Palantir—co-founded by Facebook investor/director Peter Thiel—had worked w/ Cambridge Analytica (CA) on the FB data it acquired. But a Palantir spokesperson claimed Palantir never had a relationship w/ CA & never worked on its data. 5/2018 1/ Image
2/ Link for post 1: cnbc.com/2018/03/27/pal…Image
3/ “Thiel, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.” Image
