Lauren Boebert’s Ex-Manager Also Targeted in FBI Raid on MAGA Election Clerk

The raids on Tina Peters and Sherronna Bishop appear to be related to a leak of election data to QAnon conspiracy theorists.

This broke late yesterday.

(Paywall)

So today's distraction is:



Anyone who cooks and can treat themselves once a year Le Creuset is the best cast iron cook ware out there. I admit that's what I did.

As a woman who is married to a wealthy man and who is earning $235k per year in her government job, and who cooks, she can damn well spend her money any way she wants. But hey, let's distract from their idol using burner phones like those menacing dudes seen on street corners or wherever.

This video was just released today. It shows a poll worker being threatened by Kanye West's publicist. The recording was made by a police officer.

Can't thank that post, and there is no emoji or comment to express how sickening the situation is.
(I hope I am clear, Ti. Nothing against you posting it).

From by Robert Costa @costareports via @threadreaderapp. Of course he's pimping his book (grr) but this is a good summary of Power Point Gate

(thread) Based on our reporting, Eastman begins drafting his memo in late Dec. and Trump WH has it by the new year. WH then gives it to Sen. Lee and others on Jan. 2, as we document in "Peril."

But by Jan. 3, after Pence meets w/ Sen. Parliam., it's clear he's not coming along.
On Jan. 4, Pence is in Georgia for a rally, but once he flies back, Trump calls him to the Oval. See "Peril" pgs. 224-227. "I'm getting guidance that says I can't," Pence tells Trump and Eastman, who is there. "Listen. Listen to John," Trump replies.
As Eastman and Trump pressure Pence and Pence's aides/lawyers, the rest of the Trump WH is in full-steam ahead mode that same day. See "Peril" chapter 41. "Graham was at the WH on January 4, where he received some memos supporting Trump's claims." We put those memos in the book.
Chief of staff Mark Meadows is working with Trump this whole time, and we show him meeting with Graham and Giuliani on how to push Trump's efforts along. See his Jan. 2 meeting with both of them on p. 212-214 of "Peril." But there were still lingering Qs re: his role/knowledge.
Now, months after "Peril" was published, we are learning more about both Meadows and that key day, January *4th.*

Think of it as the set-up day for the eve of the insurrection, Jan. 5, when Bannon and Giuliani work from the Willard and Trump pressures Pence, 1 on 1, in Oval.
Read this: "The powerpoint was presented on 4 January to a number of Republican senators and members of Congress, the source said."

Meadows was in possession of a PowerPoint that echoed Eastman memo. (The origin story of the PP is a key reporting target.)

Capitol attack panel obtains PowerPoint that set out plan for Trump to stage coup
Presentation turned over by Mark Meadows made several recommendations for Trump to pursue to return himself to presidency

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... tol-attack

We now know that in the critical Jan. 4-5 period, where the pressure on Pence is Level 10/10, you have not only the principals leaning on the VP, but numerous docs circulating to make the case.
-Eastman memos
-PowerPoints
-And Jenna Ellis memos (see below)

Memos from Trump campaign lawyer outline her theories for how Pence could reject Electoral College votes
In the weeks leading up to January 6, one of Donald Trump's campaign lawyers wrote memos outlining how she believed then-Vice President Mike Pence could reject electoral college votes and overturn the…
https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/10/politics ... index.html
But despite all of these docs and PowerPts, the most revealing thing of this period isn't a document. It's what he says to Pence on Jan. 5.

At the end of the day, Trump isn't looking to these docs to make his case. He looks to the gathering mob in the streets. (Ch. 43, "Peril")
"If these people say you had the power, wouldn't you want to?" Trump asked.

"I wouldn't want any one person to have that authority," Pence said.

"But wouldn't it almost be cool to have that power?" Trump asked.

"No," Pence said.
