I don’t want to bury the lede at all, so let’s start with the money shot.

An email from TSS employee Cassie Cantlon to her higher-ups, the very day TSS provided the initial lectern docs, explicitly stating that Sarah Sanders office altered the Beckett Events invoice. Image

Something worth remembering as we wait for the #lecterngate audit report to be released: even the very best-case explanation is still bad for Sarah Sanders.

Let me explain... 🧵
(1/7) Image
The best version for Sanders -- b/c it's the only one not illegal on its face -- is that the $19,029 actually went to Virginia Beckett for the lectern below.

Except, look at that thing. It's not worth $1,900, let alone $19,000. (2/7)Image
Even if the pictured lectern had all the features that Sanders claims to have paid for, which it doesn't, anyone who paid over $19K for that has conclusively shown that they are too stupid to be trusted with state funds ever again.

But it's even worse than that. (3/7)

1. False. Private schools absolutely "choose" which students to accept.

2. Letting parents take their kids & state money to a non-public school flies in the face of creating the free, adequate, & efficient system of public education the state constitution requires.
3. SHS & her cronies are starting from the assumption that giving each parent a choice on where their kids go to school on the public dime is an aspirational goal. It's not. The goal should always be improving PUBLIC education for all students, regardless of income or ZIP code.
4. But that is difficult, even in favorable political conditions. That requires acknowledging that the #1 factor correlated with poorly performing schools is the socioeconomic makeup of the student body. And no one in charge seems willing to even try tackling that issue.

But if you *really* want a head-scratcher this evening, try to make sense of Sarah Sanders' $53,041.71 payment to

/checks notes

a small, mom-&-pop diner in Little Rock for "consulting - political" less than a month after the inauguration.
Image
Pictured: The place that Sarah Sanders paid over $50K for consulting. Also, the place where I had a delightful BLT about a month ago. Image
Hmmm...maybe the $50K consulting sampler is one of those off-menu secrets, like the cotton-candy Frappuccino at Starbucks or the Mc10:35 at McDonalds? Because I don't see it here:

Remember yesterday when I mentioned that Sarah Sanders' chief legal counsel had gotten Sanders sued because she was too dumb to understand the limits of the working-papers exemption?

Well here's that lawsuit: bluehogreport.com/wp-content/upl…
And here are the exhibits referenced in that lawsuit: bluehogreport.com/wp-content/upl…
As I see it, Sarah Sanders, Cortney Kennedy, and Bryan Sanders (among others) have all made themselves necessary witnesses in this case. So that should be interesting. Lying behind a lectern is much easier than lying under oath, after all...

I, for one, would like to congratulate Sarah Sanders for getting the state of Arkansas sued yet again under the Freedom of Information Act. Maybe a judge can explain to them that the working-papers exemption does not mean that literally everything in their office is exempt.

"But they will claim he's an employee!"

Well that is going to be news to literally everyone, because I just asked TSS for his employee file and got this response: Image
As it applies to the Governor's Office, the AFOIA exempts "unpublished memoranda, communications, and working papers," which includes (based on a terrible AG opinion) communications sent to the Governor's staff.

Of course, if you aren't a state employee, you aren't "staff."

Oh…I have a new theory on #lecterngate that answers a few questions.

Assume your plan was never to buy an actual lectern, just to give Beckett money.

The second it gets noticed, you arrange for the “reimbursement,” thinking that will end the story. It doesn’t. 1/
You realize you’re going to have to prove the 8/9 “delivery” exists. But you have to do it quickly, because it’s 9/20ish and the story is not going away at all.

Now, recall that you’re both (a) stupid and (b) greedy. That’s important. 2/
If you’re spending your own money to keep up the cover story, you don’t *buy* a lectern.

You RENT the closest thing you can get to what a real one looks like, but that is also available more or less immediately. 3/
