This story from @metzsam on how the Chinese government has cultivated influence among Utah lawmakers is damning.

Pro-China advocates appealed to lawmakers' affiliations with the LDS Church, which has long dreamed of expanding in China #utpol #utleg

Lawmakers delayed action for a year to ban Chinese-funded Confucius Institutes at state universities. The programs have been described as propaganda instruments #utpol #utleg

In 2020, Chinese leader Xi Jinping sent a letter to a class of Utah fourth graders, prompting praise from a GOP legislator on the floor of the Utah Senate.

One China expert said Utah lawmakers are "acting as mouthpieces" for the CCP #utpol #utleg

apnews.com/article/china-…
The article details how groups of up to 25 lawmakers routinely took trips to China every other year since 2007.

That includes former House Speaker Greg Hughes, who now believes the trips were a mistake #utpol #utleg

Weber State Professor Taowen Le was a paid representative of China's from 2003 to 2017.

Senate President Stuart Adams turned to Le for help when the state spent more than $800K on hydroxychloroquine during the early stages of the pandemic #utpol #utleg

Dan Stephenson, the son of former Sen. Howard Stephenson, has links to Chinese groups allegedly active in covert influence efforts.

He gave Sen. Jake Anderegg language for a resolution supporting China during the pandemic. Anderegg was later interviewed by the FBI #utpol #utleg
Stephenson has links to several Chinese organizations but says he has never taken any action at the direction of the Chinese government.

In 2020, he urged elected officials to record videos to air on Shanghai television to boost that city's fight against COVID #utpol #utleg

🚨 1/ New transcripts from the House Jan. 6 committee show the day the 2020 election was called for Joe Biden, Sen. Mike Lee was speaking with campaign lawyer Cleta Mitchell about how to reverse Trump's loss.

She said the alternate elector scheme was "Mike Lee's idea" #utpol
2/ The transcript clearly demonstrates Lee would have joined the objection to certifying Biden's win if states had sent competing slates of electors to Congress on Jan. 6.

Those electors never materialized #utpol
3/ Mitchell was asked about a Nov. 7 text message (the questioner misspoke) from Lee where he asked, "What should I be doing right now?"

"I suspect that the only way to win this election would involve identifying systemic fraud" #utpol ImageImage

🚨 WHOA! 🚨

1/ Caroline Wren, an organizer of the "Stop the Steal" rally that led to the attack on the Capitol on January 6, said she lobbied Utah A.G. Sean Reyes to sign on to the Texas lawsuit challenging the 2020 election results in several states #utpol Image
2/ The lawsuit aimed to throw out the election results in four states won by Joe Biden.

It was quickly tossed by the Supreme Court #utpol

sltrib.com/news/politics/…
3/ Wren, a top Trump fundraiser, said in her testimony to the Jan. 6 committee that she helped raise money for the Republican Attorney Generals Association (RAGA).

That group sent out robocalls on Jan. 5 urging people to march to the Capitol #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

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.

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
