NEW: The day before Rudy Giuliani proposed "voluntary access" to Georgia voting machines at 2020 White House meeting, he met w/ Cathy Latham, a GOP official who is now indicted for Coffee County breach, posts show.

It's one of many details the GBI missed.
lawfaremedia.org/article/what-t…
Latham had traveled from Coffee County to stay at the Willard Hotel with a tour group.

In DC, she had what she described on social media as a “meeting” w/ Giuliani.

In White House meeting the next day, Giuliani floated proposal to access Georgia voting machines w/ insider help.

But Giuliani wasn’t the only top Trump ally with whom Latham met in D.C.

A newly unearthed photo shows Latham w/ Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell at the Trump Hotel around that time.

Weeks later, Latham escorted a computer forensics team into the Coffee County elections office. Image
The photo, posted to X by @z_everson for @1100penn on Dec. 18, 2020, places Latham at the Trump Hotel around the time that key members of Trump’s team holed up at that hotel to draft executive orders to seize voting machines.

The draft orders specifically cite Coffee County. Image
In Fulton County, Powell recently pleaded guilty to crimes related to the Coffee County voting machine breach.

Latham has pleaded not guilty.

But the GBI conducted a separate investigation, one that was not as jurisdictionally limited as the Fulton County investigation.
At 392 pages, the GBI report on the Coffee County breach looks impressive.

It’s not.

The agency bizarrely omits the above-mentioned details and other key facts that could help connect the dots between several locals in rural Georgia and the then president's lawyers.
A conspiracy to unlawfully copy and distribute sensitive voting systems data, as alleged in the Fulton County indictment, constitutes a serious crime.

And some election security experts say the breach in Coffee County could have dangerous implications for future elections. Image
Yet the GBI report on the Coffee County breach seems to reflect a badly inadequate investigation.

Memo to Georgia Attorney General @ChrisCarr_Ga: You have been ill served by your investigative department.

There’s still a lot of work to do.

Judge McAfee is back on the bench to discuss proposals for Harrison Floyd's amended conditions of release.

The prosecution and defense both took time to draft proposals for new conditions.

McAfee is currently reviewing those proposals on the bench.
The prior order prohibited communication w/ co-defendants about facts of the case.

It sounds like the state's new proposal would impose "no contact" outright between Floyd and co-defendants.

(I don't have a copy of proposed order, but parties are debating conditions now.)
As parties discuss amended bond conditions, Willis refers to "defendant Trump."

Floyd pipes up: "President Trump," he emphasizes.

Judge McAfee cautions Floyd that it's not his turn to speak.

Happening now: Fulton County prosecutors are back in court to face off against defense counsel for Ken Chesebro and Sidney Powell.

On the agenda today: A series of pre-trial motions regarding Georgia's RICO statute.

Watch here:
Defense counsel opened w/ their argument that Georgia's RICO statute only applies to crimes motivated by pecuniary gain or physical threat/harm.

According to Chesebro and Powell's counsel, the indictment should be dismissed because the crimes alleged here were not so motivated.
Now special prosecutor John Floyd--one of Georgia's leading RICO experts--is up to respond.

He explains that a legislative amendment by the GA general assembly in the 1990s was enacted specifically to counteract the idea that RICO crimes must be motivated by economic gain.
