The other day, lawyers for Ruby Freeman submitted pardoned felon Bernie Kerik's strategic plan to steal the election, which he sent to Mark Meadows on 12/28/2020.
I assume it was previously released but I hadn't looked closely.
Here's how they planned to disseminate their false claims about voter fraud.
Nothing surprising--but it's important bc THIS DOCUMENT makes false claims about Ruby Freeman, which they're suing over.
I read Rudy's depo, in which he professed not to know who the person in charge of social media outreach, TF, was, before I read WaPo's story reflecting an interview with Tom Fitton.
But as someone noted, it all seems to answer itself.
There's a VERY significant overlap between the false claims in this document and those that Stanford Integrity Project found to be the most persistent disinformation in 2020.
That is, of course, THE POINT. The reason why fascists and the useful idiots of fascists (like #MattyDickPics) are attacking efforts to curb disinformation is bc THOSE EFFORTS HELPED SAVE DEMOCRACY in 2020.
Anyway, this is all a roundabout way of saying that pardoned felon Bernie Kerik, at least, appears to have treated Tom Fitton as just as central part of the effort to steal the election as Steve Bannon (he of the recent Jack Smith subpoena) and Boris Epshteyn were.
[typo fixed]
Another thing I learned about pardoned felon Bernie Kerik that I had missed before was that he did two stints in Saudi Arabia, at least working directly for the House of Saud.
About the same time that Tim Parlatore was telling a grand jury that he did a diligent search for the missing docs at Bedminster, he was telling Ruby Freeman's attorneys he didn't have comms that they had documentary evidence he had.
Last week, when Freeman's lawyers asked Parlatore what the hold up of getting records Rudy said weren't privileged but pardoned felon Kerik said were, Parlatore said other things were more pressing that were taking priority. documentcloud.org/documents/2384…
At the time Parlatore blew off Ruby Freeman's lawyers, of course, his supposedly former client the Former President was about to be indicted.
Tl;dr on motion to compel pardoned felon Bernie Kerik: He tried to comply w/Freeman's subpoena by providing the things he provided J6C. But he made privilege claims that Rudy is not making.
So now he is experiencing a "technical glitch" accessing things not turned over to J6C.
Pardoned felon Bernie Kerik seems to have the same confusion about what kind of fellow pardon recipient SB might be.
Also, she claims there has been little judicial scrutiny of this, ignoring the 4 precedents and Hunter Biden's similar challenge rejected by 2 Trump appointees.
1) We've talked about little but Biden's age since January. Yet certain hacks with a gripe claim they were the only one telling that secret that led all the news.
2) CREDIBLE stories -- that is, the ones that quote people on the record and/or very specifically described people anon, rather than just inventing a conspiracy retroactively based on feels -- all describe a decline since January, and more in recent months.
3) MANY of the people posing as journalists appear not to understand there are two questions: Does he drop from the race, does he drop from the presidency.
Given that the more detailed reports are about STAMINA and speaking (not dementia), those are different things.
Aileen Cannon is doing her best to prevent a trial before the election, but by all means make sure we get more pictures like this one (my annotations). This box had the most sensitive docs found.
DOJ reiterates their assertion that the cover sheets in the famous photo, AND close to 50 empty cover folders, were in the blue leatherbound box when they found it.
Let's correct the false claims here. 1) Egypt National Bank convinced Beryl Howell they complied with this subpoena -- it's unclear how the Chinese records resolved. 2) Mueller didn't tank this investigation. After a long subpoena fight, he handed it over to DCUSAO.
3) That's precisely the same thing he did with Roger Stone investigation: After year-long subpoena delay, he handed over still ongoing investigation into whether Stone conspired w/RU on CFAA. 4) We know what happened to Stone investigation: Barr killed it, Trump killed it more.
5) We don't know, for sure, what happened to suspected Egyptian funding (via way of China??) investigation; it was killed in same weeks when Barr was killing most of the rest of Mueller. It's possible that refusal to subpoena Trump Org killed it.
There was an iPhone--one central to the gun case against Hunter--saved ONLY in iTunes (not iCloud), and protected by a password. Ziegler admits he accessed it -- lots of journos have relied on him doing so. Q is whether doing so was accessing Hunter's data.
It'll be an interesting legal case (Ziegler is arguing that bc Hunter never owned the hard drive on which he, Ziegler, obtained the PWD-protected iPhone content, it is not Hunter's data). But it'll be still more interesting discovery.
