Dear Democrats: if you are so sure everything in the elction was fine, no fraud sufficient to alter the true outcome  – then let the 74 mill rest of country be assured and let the evidence be presented, have the magnanimity of joining in the suits and call for open hearings with force of law — in the interest of free and fair elections and allowing the country to rest assured that they exist.

The Epoch Times published an interview with Jenna Ellis today, member of the official Trump legal team.  The article accompanying the interview is set forth below but the 16 minute interview is very instructive and highly recommended –  we hope to embed it hear later today or go to the link.

One take away – we wish Iowa had recall of elected officials

Jenna Ellis to the American People: ‘Take Heart, This Is Not Over Yet’ 

Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis on Wednesday urged the American people concerned with election integrity to have hope in the ongoing efforts aimed at exposing voter irregularities and alleged fraud.

“I would just say to the American people: Take heart. This is not over yet. And we absolutely have every intention of continuing to fight for election integrity,” Ellis told The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders.

Trump’s legal team, which is led by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, is fighting against the clock to ensure that the sanctity of the ballot box is preserved. The team and its allies have been building a case to ensure that all concerns about voting irregularities and alleged unconstitutional actions passed by state and election officials in the 2020 election are investigated to secure confidence in the election outcome for all.

Although Dec. 14, the day that presidential electors case their votes for president, has come and gone, Ellis argues that President Donald Trump still has time to challenge the election results and that state legislatures still have time to decide which set of votes from dueling slates of delegates to send to Congress on Jan. 6, the day when the electoral college votes are counted.

This comes after Republican electors in seven states cast alternate votes for President Donald Trump, setting up a new challenge for Congress when they count the votes next month. Critics argue that those votes are merely symbolic and have no force of the law. However, alternate votes have been accepted by Congress before.

In 1960, Democrats successfully cast an alternative set of votes for John F. Kennedy in Hawaii after the state’s governor certified the electors for Richard Nixon amid a recount. Congress ultimately counted the votes from Kennedy electors, who were signed off by the governor as well, even though he wasn’t declared the winner in the election until 11 days after Nixon’s electors were certified.

Republicans in the seven states said their rationale for sending dueling electors to Congress was to preserve Trump’s legal claim in the election as his team pursues legal challenges over the counting of “illegal votes.” The offices of the Nevada and Pennsylvania secretary of state told The Epoch Times that they have only received the certificates of the vote from Democratic electors and not Republicans.
Ellis is urging state legislatures in the contested states to hold an electoral session to consider evidence of potential election fraud and pass a resolution to send to the Republican slate of electors.

“If one state is willing to do this, I think others will follow,” she said.
She also believes it is the responsibility of every American to protect free and fair elections, noting that there is a group of Americans who would like to get to the bottom of all the allegations.

“It’s incumbent, though, upon every American—regardless of who you voted for, whether or not you like the outcome of this election—to stop any cheating, to stop any lawlessness, to stop anything that runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution to make sure to protect free and fair elections,” she said. “I think there is a movement among the American people who really want to get to the bottom of these questions.”

She added that every state legislature should also be looking at their own laws and their own administration to ensure the integrity of votes.

Ellis said Americans have the ultimate say in holding their leaders accountable for their actions, and there are a series of actions that can be taken to ensure that politicians are held responsible.

“We can do that through not only contacting them and through putting pressure on them to continuing this fight, not only in the media, but also to make sure that our elected officials know that that’s what we expect of them—to take election integrity seriously,” she said.

She said that Americans in some of the contested states could also consider initiating recall petitions—a procedure that allows citizens to recall and replace public officials before their term ends. The petition requires a specific number of signatures over a specified period of time. If a valid number of signatures are collected, then a recall election can be held. Different states have different rules for this procedure.
“And so now, when we’re looking at the state legislatures, if that branch fails, then it’s up to ‘We the People’ to make sure that we go through the constitutional processes, that we can then change those who are in authority because no person in the United States is entitled to government authority,” she said.

Mitch McConnell’s  words: “As of this morning, our country officially has a president-elect and a vice president-elect. Today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden,” McConnell said.

“Officially” by who or what indisputable standard Senator?  Or is that word “officially’ a hedge?  It is unnecessary to hedge or to think about acknowledging anything until January 6th when Congress meets to accept or not accept the electoral tally.  Your congratulating of Biden is  disloyal now unless Trump concedes — and we hope he does not until certainty exists.

It should be noted that Al Gore only conceded to Bush after the Supreme Court decision which actually finalized the results.  That has not happened as  petitions and cases are being brought forward by Trump (and others).  See here and here.

And as regards Lindsey Graham who has also declared Biden the victor, who comes out with this: Lindsey Graham: ‘Social Media Companies And Mail-In Voting Will Destroy Conservatism If We Don’t Push Back’

Really Lindsey —  how is that — because of cheating possibilities  perhaps or undue influence , coverups, propaganda, lying — well that just happened.  Why are you conceding an election with strong evidence of widespread cheating by those methods just weeks ago?

“Collusion” destroyed what was left of respect for the Washington FBI, the CIA, and the liberal news media. When 50 former “intelligence” officers can attest, right before the election, that the Hunter Biden scandal emails are likely Russian disinformation designed to help Trump, then there is nothing much left of the reputation of our once best and brightest.”

We’re aware of rumors out there about intense “conference” meeting(s?) within the SCOTUS  about what to do about appeals from states regarding the legitimacy of presidential vote totals in other states. What we read, even if from questionable sites, alleging that Chief Justice Roberts was screaming  ~”Are you going to be responsible for the rioting if we hear this case?” . . . ”  “Don’t tell me about Bush v. Gore, we weren’t dealing with riots then” ~ is that fear mongering about “civil war” or something are probably the most plausible explanation for the SCOTUS majority latest mocking, bush league action…denial of a hearing of the Texas lawsuit.

The “judicial anxiety” is about the left, that they don’t fear the right is an interesting phenomenon. That there were no riots after Bush v Gore we believe was largely because people had the evidence before them, SCOTUS heard the case and did the right thing.  As to the 2020 election heretofore there have not been unified hearings, or, when claims of fraud were attempted to be pleaded presentation was thwarted by obfuscatory procedural blocks including especially the “standing” dodge that has a partiality to it that is tender of claims by the left but rigid as hell when it comes to conservatives.

We would be inclined to believe Chief Justice Roberts’ cowardice, or kowtowing to anti-democratic/socialist forces of the Democratic Party, as part of the most likely explanations for his most crucial ‘decisions’.

Roberts’ is often portrayed as part of the “conservative” members of the Supreme Court … probably among the many ‘cons’ the MSM (Mainstream Media) has pulled on the more gullible segment of the American public. Amy Coney Barrett’s elevation to the Court was hysterically and falsely portrayed as giving the Court a decided right-wing tilt of 6-3 with only Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayer as the leftists on the Court. However, in our opinion, Roberts is an almost sure bet to side with the liberals on any key issue before the tribunal, thus 5-4…and we’re not real sure about Kavanaugh…or Gorsuch. The Court may very well be 5-4 liberal on issues of vital importance to the Constitution… or worse.       V’PAC

The Barr rule:

“The more corrupt, the more criminal, the more dangerous to the nation, a candidate for president is, the greater the need to conceal knowledge of it from the electorate…since the likelihood that such knowledge would affect the outcome of the election!”

There is a caveat, however, to the “Barr Rule”, known as the “Barr Guidance”, to wit: “revealing to the electorate that a 4 year massive effort to discredit, undermine, and/or overturn through false accusation and criminal activity the duly elected administration of a president seeking reelection is prohibited if, by revealing it, could negatively affect the outcome of election of a radical leftist administration.”

Result for Swamp, Inc: goals met, (perps get away even if a few fall guys sacrificed) no significant downside to similar operations. “IT WORKS”

Barr Hid Two Federal Probes Into Hunter Biden For Months  (story below our commentary)

I think that Bill Barr, soon after his confirmation as Trump’s Attorney General was quite impressive in an interview with Mark Levin…he said all the reassuring things…here he was, the most courageous, honest AG in a long time. He looked especially good (honest, competent) by comparison with his immediate predecessors, Lynch and Holder (who had neither of those qualities). Also, he made very positive noises in his congressional hearings ( re; the “Hillary emails”, the Russia hoax…”the stories Obama people have told don’t “hang together..” We all pretty much overlooked the fact that his first appointment as AG was by GW Bush. And, of course he had the “impeccable” reputation around D.C, (that should have tipped us off).

Then, it was soon learned (but not much ‘publicized’) that Barr gave some $55,000 to JEB Bush’s primary campaign. (That’s the “low energy JEB Bush”)

I think we know the entire Bush clan is no fan of Trump. I, daresay, I believe it is starting to look like Barr took the job primarily to destroy Trump. (Crazy? Well, how about the fable going around Washington that Joe Biden has all his faculties?)

Early on, many of us suspected that Barr was kind of ‘going a bit too slow’ with his various investigations…the Hillary emails, the “Russia Hoax’, the abject corruption for which a mountain of evidence was provided for Durham to look into….the whole Durham drama, The DOJ IG report. There was, of course, Chris Wray ( as ‘Deep state” as they come) but I think we see now that Wray was a tiny part of the problem.

By all evidence, Durham is as phony as they come. The entire FBI is corrupt! I believe the whole Biden family story of corruption has been known to Barr, the FBI, the DC establishment, and much of the media from the start. (Bobulinski’s testimony and evidence, alone, would have been enough to quickly expose the Biden corruption. Yet, Barr and Wray made no effort.)

So now, we have Barr being hailed for concealing the Biden investigation from the voters, observing the DOJ ‘guidance’ to ‘avoid influencing an election’; like everything else in Washington, it sounds plausible and reasonable at first (to avoid disclosing seemingly serious allegations prior to an election, which may, after the election, turn out to be unproven “smears”.)…until it gets into the hands of somebody like Barr, Durham, Comey, Obama, Holder, Lynch, the Washington establishment… !

We believe we have just witnessed, however, the deliberate concealment by the Justice Department of massive, obvious, provable corruption by a presidential candidate and members of his family. We will soon learn of and see put in place, a perverse strategy which put a woefully incapable Joe Biden into the Oval Office so that, within weeks or a few months, Kamala can be president. Donald Trump, from the start, was doomed to fail in his bid for reelection and with it the possible destruction of the USA itself. (All “6 ways from Sunday” were employed and ‘worked’ superbly)

According to the Barr (and all of Washington’s) “defense”, the more corrupt, the more criminal, the more dangerous to the nation, a candidate for president is, the more knowledge of it must be kept from the electorate…since the likelihood that such knowledge would affect the outcome of the election!         dlh

Barr Hid Two Federal Probes Into Hunter Biden For Months

Attorney General William Barr knew about two contemporaneous federal investigations into Hunter Biden for months — and worked to keep them from the public ahead of the election, according to a new report.

The nation’s top law enforcement official avoided providing information about the probes to Republicans in Congress without explanation, a person familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

One of the investigations was made public this week, when the 50-year-old son of President-elect Joe Biden disclosed on Wednesday that he was being probed for possible tax fraud.

Hunter Biden is also implicated in a broader international financial investigation by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, two people familiar with the case told the Journal. That probe has been going on for at least a year. Hunter Biden, however, was never a specific target for criminal prosecution, according to the Journal.

Barr is said to have been aware of the federal scrutiny — which dates back to 2018 — into Hunter Biden since before the spring. But how and when he first learned of the probes isn’t clear.

Investigators worked to make sure news of the investigations didn’t become public before the presidential election, as per Justice Department guidelines that prohibit activity that could influence a political race.

President Trump and his Republican allies have repeatedly urged the AG to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Bidens.

On Thursday night, Trump railed against the timing, tweeting, “Why didn’t the Fake News Media, the FBI and the DOJ report the Biden matter BEFORE the Election.”

Iowa AG Miller wanted to sign an amicus brief opposing Texas, in its challenge to Pennsylvania et al unlawful election processes. According to him he was stopped by Gov. Reynolds. Nothing regarding the matter from the Governor’s newsroom at this writing.

Rather pathetic if anyone thinks blocking Miller is enough.

If stopping Miller from joining an amicus brief is considered a trade-off then Miller run’s the state as he has checked Republicans who control the governorship and both houses of the state legislature and three of four congressional districts and both US Senate seats and a party that reflects a populous that voted overwhelmingly for Trump.  That populous is being disenfranchised by unlawful activity in four other states.

Iowa Republican political leadership needs to support President Trump and election integrity and join with other states and political leadership in any substantial fashion possible.

Eighteen states have joined in support of or allied with Texas.  But we read that supposedly more than 20 states have allied with Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan.

The dominant liberal medial is repeating ad nauseum that the Texas effort is unprecedented.  The reality is that with Trump’s participation it is the essence of Bush v Gore the US Supreme Court case that essentially settled the 2000 presidential election.  At issue was the fairness and lawfulness of Florida election processes focused on certain subdivisions of that state.

Iowa political powers need to do something. Here is an example of something when you don’t have an AG in your corner.

Pennsylvania’s House speaker and majority leader on Thursday filed an amici curiae brief with the Supreme Court against the state of Pennsylvania and in favor of Texas’s lawsuit against the commonwealth and three other states.

A brief (pdf) filed by Pennsylvania House Speaker Bryan Cutler and Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, both Republicans, requests that the Supreme Court “carefully consider the procedural issues and questions raised by the Plaintiff concerning the administration of the 2020 General Election in Pennsylvania.”

Here is Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller’s statement regarding Texas vs Commonwealth of Pennsylvania et al
