RUTHFULLY YOURS

https://www.theepochtimes.com/federal-judge-dismisses-trump-campaign-lawsuit-to-delay-certification-in-pennsylvania-campaign-to-appeal_3588740.html

A federal judge has dismissed a Trump campaign lawsuit seeking to delay result certification in Pennsylvania over allegations that the state’s election process violated the Constitution because of differing standards of verification and transparency for mail-in versus in-person voters.

Judge Matthew W. Brann in his opinion released Saturday night described the case as “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations.”

Brann, a nominee of former President Barack Obama, said that given the case was asking him to effectively dismiss votes, the Trump campaign should have come to court “armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption.”

He said because the case was “haphazardly stitched together,” he had “no authority to take away the right to vote of even a single person.”

The judge added, “Among the grounds that could justify a denial of leave to amend are undue delay, bad faith, dilatory motive, prejudice, and futility.”

Trump’s lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in a response to the dismissal thanked Brann for his quick decision in the case, while expressing disappointment that the Trump campaign’s lawyers had not been granted an opportunity to present their evidence at a hearing.

Giuliani said that Brann’s decision would now “help us in our strategy to get expeditiously to the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Dominion Voting Systems Thursday night abruptly backed out of attending a fact-finding hearing that was set for Friday morning with the Pennsylvania House State Government Committee.

At a press conference Friday morning, State Govt Committee Chair Seth Grove said the 1.3. million Pennsylvanians who used Dominion’s voting machines have been “hung out to dry and slapped in their faces.”

Pennsylvania lawmakers had scheduled the hearing with the voting machine manufacturer “to help identify and correct any irregularities in the election process,” according to the House Republican Caucus.

“It is vitally important voters have faith in the machines they use to cast their ballots. On the heels of Gov. Tom Wolf unilaterally decertifying every voting machine in the Commonwealth, we need to know whether these new machines met expectations, whether they are reliable and whether they are not subject to interference,” said Rep. Grove (R-York).

Dominion had initially agreed to attend the hearing, before it “abruptly canceled,”  Grove said.

“I was impressed at what appeared to be the willingness that Dominion Voting Systems to address accusations and it would have put 1.3. million Pennsylvanians who used their machines at ease—including myself, thinking that Dominion was willing to publicly back up their product which PA taxpayers invested millions to purchase” he noted during the presser. “Unfortunately, last evening, Dominion Voting Systems lawyered up, and backed out of their commitment to the people of Pennsylvania to provide their input in a public format.”

So what is the state of play regarding the 2020 presidential election? There seem to be two main positions. 

One is that Joe Biden won the election, narrowly but with sufficient latitude that any challenge is bootless. A corollary of that contention is that the adults in the room, be they Republicans or Democrats, should get with the program and accede to the Narrative. 

Over the past week or so, I have had many Republican friends—including some sympathetic to President Trump—explain that the fight is essentially over. Some acknowledge the political wisdom of Trump pursuing every legal recourse. Yet the assumption is always the same: the game is lost but, like a transmission from a distant galaxy, the news has not yet reached us. “To preserve our democracy,” both Left and Right say, we will soon need to draw a line under the election of 2020 and declare Joe Biden the winner. 

If you are a Democratic mouthpiece—i.e., if you are a spokesman for the mainstream media—then you think (or at least you say) that Trump’s refusal to concede is “damaging democracy” and isn’t it just the kind of bad behavior you would expect of a man of “bad character” who should never have been president in the first place? Those on the Right, many of them, want or at least are willing to let the “process” play out but in their heart-of-hearts they have already conceded and are calculating how they might turn this unfortunate situation to their advantage. 

The other main position—and let me hasten to acknowledge that it is mine—is that this election was riddled with voter fraud. Nor was it the usual taken-for-granted and (between us sophisticated men of the world) acceptable margin of fraud but a planned and systematic assault on the integrity of our election that overturned a convincing victory for Donald Trump. 

I believe this partly because of the stunning statistical anomalies in the election—I have written about this several times (here, for example, and here).

Within days of the election, people were hard at work looking at fraud, and Matt Braynard was on the front line, getting information for Trump’s lawyers

Over the course of two days, I introduced American Thinker readers to Matt Braynard. The first time I wrote about him, he’d run a successful GoFundMe campaign to fund research into fraudulent votes. The second time, I reported that GoFundMe had deplatformed him and returned all the pledged money. I can now update you about Matt’s work: He was able to complete his project and it’s paid off in the form of support for Trump’s legal challenges to the election.

Just three days after the election, I wrote about Matt Braynard, who had made a successful GoFundMe pitch for money he planned to use for a sophisticated data analytics program. It would allow him to determine how many “voters” in the contested states were dead people, non-residents, or infrequent voters whose identities were stolen.

Only one day later, I wrote about Matt’s travails with GoFundMe. The platform had kicked him off because it disagreed with the project he sought to fund:

We raised $220k on GoFundMe before we were deleted for “Prohibited Content.” None of the money was disbursed to us.  This is the same platform that raises money for bail for terrorists. Help us out by 2x’ing what you gave before to help make up what we lost.

That’s how the left rolls: It pretends to create a free and open marketplace of ideas and then, when it attains dominance in the market, it silences views with which it disagrees.

Fortunately, Matt was able to obtain crowdsourced funding again through GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding site.

One day later, with money again flowing in, Matt published a video explaining the project he was creating with that money. It’s a fascinating video.

Watching a Dominion Voting System sales presentation from 2017, I have to wonder: Could the thieves have outsmarted themselves?

Having sworn off professional sporting events like many of you, I have made what feels like the moribund turn to other pursuits, such as watching a Dominion Voting System Presentation from 2017.  I did this so you don’t have to; unless your Lawrence Welk Betamax of Cissy and Bobby’s greatest hits is fuzzing up, then by all means, take a look. 

In the video we have a team of sales and demo experts (Dr. Eric Coomer, Waldeep Singh, David Marino, CEO John Poulos and other support staff) “…to outline new voting equipment options in Chicago on April 13, 2017.”  This was the 4th of four election equipment videos and had a few items of note that I haven’t heard or read anywhere before and I wanted to share those with you. (video is almost an hour long)

First, let’s talk about the elephant in the room, Dr. Eric Coomer.  Recognize that name?  In this video, Coomer comes across as a consummate professional, knowing hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the line.  In my professional experience, it was a very good demo highlighting the capabilities and features of the hardware and software that Dominion Voting Systems sells.  As he walks through his measured and informational demo, you would never know the alleged radical and hateful conservative contempt kicking around in the back of his head.  So rather than dismiss Mr. Coomer outright, let me present some information that has been hiding in plain sight in what is otherwise an unremarkable video.  Given the propensity for technocrats to scuttle damaging info, I am surprised Google hasn’t memory holed this item, nor has Dominion has requested a takedown.

Trump Team attorney Sidney Powell on Friday told Newsmax’s Howie Carr that once the campaign drops evidence of voter fraud there will be a number of people who will need to be in witness protection. 

“When are we going to have some positive developments in the president’s case here?” Carr asked.

Powell said evidence of fraud will be released this coming week.

“This was very widespread, very deliberate, well-funded and everybody and their pet rock is trying to stop me from exposing it,” the attorney said. 

According to Powell, the various election software that was used went far beyond just the presidential election and was used so specific people were put in government positions. She believes it was also used against John James, the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan, and Leon Benjamin, the Republican candidate for Virginia’s 4th Congressional District. 

“I think they did it to any particularly strong Republican candidate this time around,” she said.  

When Carr pressed the former federal prosecutor about whether or not there will evidence of a “smoking gun,” Powell stated the Trump Team has it.
