At a hearing on Tuesday, members of the House select committee looking into the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 revealed the threats made to state legislators and election officials and workers in Arizona and Georgia by supporters of President Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, the committee tried to bring attention to the seriousness of the threat to democracy in the days and weeks after the election, when massive and persistent pressure from the president and Rudy Giuliani was exerted on officials and ordinary Americans to promote the “big lie” that Trump had won the election. These Americans’ ability to persevere under such intense stress probably cost them dearly on a personal level.

Rep. Adam Schiff, a member of the Committee, said, “Our democracy held because courageous people like you heard today put their oath to the constitution above their loyalty to one man,” Committee member Rep. Adam Schiff said.

To paraphrase, “the system held, barely, but the question is, will it hold again?”

At the hearing, Trump and his acolytes in Arizona laid out their plan to replace the genuine Biden electors with fake ones. As Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers put it, the fake electors’ gathering in the state was “tragic satire.” Bowers flatly rejected Giuliani’s proposal that phony electors be utilized.

Schiff’s presentation of Johnson’s text messages suggested that the Wisconsin Republican senator may have been complicit in the fraudulent voter registration effort. Messages between Johnson’s chief of staff and a Pence staffer revealed that Johnson had prepared counterfeit ballots to give to Pence. “Do not give that to him,” Pence’s aide responded. Bowers said a “tenet of my faith is that the Constitution is divinely inspired,” and that what he was being asked to do was “foreign to my very being.”

The current speaker of the Arizona House also shared some details about his personal life after the election. Bowers spoke tearfully about how his family had come to dread Saturdays because Trump fans would drive around their neighborhood shouting false accusations that he was a “pedophile” and a corrupt politician. He described his family’s emotions after hearing of an altercation between a neighbor and a man armed with a weapon.

He became emotional when he described his family: “At the same time, on some of these, we had a daughter who was gravely ill who was upset by what was happening outside and my wife, that is a valiant person, very strong, quiet, very strong woman,” he said, growing emotional. “So it was disturbing.” Bowers did not mention that in early 2021, his daughter died after her illness.

Another witness described he encounter with Trump and his supporters Wandrea Arshaye (“Shaye”) Moss, a Fulton County election worker, and her mother were falsely accused of running a fake ballot scheme and called “professional vote scammers,” allegations that led to death threats and intimidation and ultimately drove the pair into hiding, according to committee aides. After receiving death threats, Ruby Freeman, Moss’ mother, testified on tape and said, “I lost my name.”

Moss remarked that her life has been upended since the election.

Moss: “I haven’t gone anyplace; I’ve put on roughly 60 pounds; I don’t do anything; and I question my every move.” “My entire life has been profoundly impacted by this. It’s all due of deception, and all because I was doing what I’ve always done.”

Moss stated that neither she nor any other former coworkers are currently employed by Fulton County.

It was reported by Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee’s vice chair, that Trump “did not care about these threats of violence” and that “we cannot let America become a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence.”

During his opening speech, committee head Rep. Bennie Thompson claimed that “pressuring public workers to breach their oaths was a vital aspect” of Trump’s “playbook.”

According to Thompson, Trump placed his pressure on these election officials on a “huge falsehood.” “The deception persists. It taints the integrity of our democratic processes “Thompson said that a county official in New Mexico had refused to certify the results of the most recent primary election.

Republicans Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, and Gabriel Sterling, the office’s top operational officer, spoke before the committee as well. Both Raffensperger and Sterling described how Trump put them under intense pressure to increase his support in their respective states.

“I think sometimes moments require you to stand up and just take the shots — you’re doing your job,” Raffensperger said. “And that’s all we did. We just followed the law & followed the constitution. At the end of the day, President Trump came up short.”

The next scheduled public hearing by the committee is scheduled for this coming Thursday at 3:00 PM.

ISTHATPORKS TAKE:

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! Trump got a triple beam of Pork heat that came his way from the zap of the January 6th Committee. Some of the emotions were raw, some looked nervous and others looked a matter of fact but it was all good. Some of the outstanding moments came when Bowers said a "tenet of my faith is that the Constitution is divinely inspired," and that what he was being asked to do was "foreign to my very being." He dropped a bomb on them with that one. Even though nervous we also like when Brad Raffensperger said, "I think sometimes moments require you to stand up and just take the shots — you're doing your job," Raffensperger said. "And that's all we did. We just followed the law & followed the constitution. At the end of the day, President Trump came up short." BOOM! yes, Brad, the keyword he said is "moments". Did you hear that? Do you understand that? that's the Atom. BOOM! every moment is an atom to the next stages of life. So when a moment comes into our orbit we have a choice to go in a direction. Obviously, they did not eat the meal trump was trying his darndest to pass down to them. They gave it back to Trump and he's still trying his darndest to get people to eat that pork today. The Guy just does not stop. Food Years Up to Brad Raffensperger & Rusy Bowers for doing the right thing in the presence of a wrong thing. To Wandrea Arshaye ("Shaye") Moss and your Mom, hold your head high and live your normal life the truth never lies and it never hides.

On Oct. 28 (UPI) — Her office sent a statement on Friday saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, had been attacked by a home invader.

At a press conference held by the San Francisco Police Department, the suspect, 42-year-old David Depape, was named as the attacker. According to Sgt. William Scott, when police arrived, they saw Depape with a hammer and Paul Pelosi, 82, holding onto it.

Then, Depape took the hammer from Paul Pelosi and started hitting him with it until police arrived and took him into custody.

According to reports from CNN, NBC, and the New York Times, citing unnamed law enforcement officials, the assailant entered the couple’s San Francisco home early on Friday morning looking for the Speaker.

After being arrested, Depape was taken into custody and lodged in the San Francisco County Jail on “many other felony” counts, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary, and more.

“Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy,” the assailant asked Paul Pelosi, according to the sources.

Pelosi’s husband, Paul, was “violently assaulted,” according to a statement released by Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., through spokesman Drew Hammill.

“The attacker is currently in police custody, and the circumstances surrounding the attack are being probed. Mr. Pelosi has been hospitalized and is receiving top-notch care; he is anticipated to make a full recovery “the report indicated.

According to Hammill, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was not in the Bay Area at the time.

The Speaker and her family “request privacy at this time” and “express gratitude to the first responders and medical personnel involved.”

Forensics in San Francisco At 2:27 a.m. PDT, according to Sergeant Adam Lobsinger, police were called to the Pelosi home. Paul Pelosi was rushed to the hospital, and the suspect was taken into jail.

Vice President Joe Biden issued the following statement through White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:

“The president is praying for Paul Pelosi and for Speaker Pelosi’s whole family. This morning he called Speaker Pelosi to express his support after this horrible attack. He is also very glad that a full recovery is expected. The president continues to condemn all violence and asks that the family’s desire for privacy be respected.”

Kari Lake Won’t Say If She’ll Accept Arizona Election Results If She Loses

Never Pork

If she loses to Democrat Katie Hobbs in Arizona on November 8, Republican gubernatorial contender Kari Lake has declined to declare if she will accept defeat.

Lake refused to accept the election results many times when asked by CNN’s “State of the Union” moderator Dana Bash on Sunday. Lake insisted that she was going to win the election.

Lake declared,  “I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that result,” simultaneously saying that Hobbs was a racist.

Bash questioned Lake, “If you lose, will you accept that?” throughout the conversation.

Lake repeated, “I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that results.”

Originally, on October 12, Arizona PBS was going to have a televised discussion between Lake and Hobbs, but Hobbs bowed out, claiming that Lake was “just interested in making a spectacle” and labeling Lake a “conspiracy theorist.”

“Kari Lake has made it clear time and time again that she’s not interested in having substantive, in depth conversations about the issues that matter to Arizonians,” Hobbs told Bash on Sunday’s CNN broadcast. “She only wants a scenario where she can control the dialogue, and she’s refused to sit down in a one-on-one lengthy conversation to really clarify with Arizonians where she is on the issues.”

After the Arizona Citizens Clean Election Commission, which had collaborated with PBS to host the debate, backed out, Arizona PBS had planned to interview Lake this Wednesday instead of holding the debate.

Lake has worked with Fox News before. At present, Hobbs is Arizona’s Secretary of State. On Thursday, a Fox 10 Phoenix/InsiderAdvantage survey showed that Lake had a four-point lead over Hobbs in the campaign for governor.

In addition to having the endorsement of the former president, Trump ally and Republican Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga), Lake also has the backing of MyPillow CEO and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell.

She also helps promote Trump’s false allegations that significant voter fraud occurred in the 2020 election, despite the fact that the Justice Department has found no evidence to support such accusations.

According to Lake, both Trump and Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, have “BDE,” or “big dick energy.”

DeSantis, she continued, “has BDE;” she didn’t know if the audience was familiar with the term. Does anyone have any idea what that means? Ask your kids about it later.”

Affidavit: Trump residence search triggered by classified records, obstruction

Never Pork

  On Friday, the Justice Department issued a partially redacted search warrant affidavit detailing the reasons FBI investigators visited the Florida property of former President Donald Trump this month.

As part of an ongoing criminal investigation into whether or not Trump illegally removed White House records before he left office in 2021, a search was done. In order to safeguard witnesses and the legitimacy of the inquiry, U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart mandated the release of the affidavit while allowing for redactions.

Probable cause is stated for both the existence of classified materials at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and for the existence of “evidence of obstruction” there.

The statement also said there was reasonable suspicion that “evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other goods illegally possessed” would be located at Trump’s residence.

After leaving office, presidents are obligated to provide the National Archives with a large quantity of paperwork. Since last year, the National Archives and Records Administration has been pestering Trump to return documents that belong in the archives.

On Friday, an affidavit was made public claiming that federal officials suspected Trump was hiding secret materials after reviewing several boxes of Trump’s donated records to the archives. Several of the papers contained the “HSC” marks that denote top secret information.

According to the affidavit, the National Archives sent the case to the FBI in February. The FBI wanted to know who took the documents from the White House without permission, how they got there, and if Mar-a-Lago was a legitimate storage facility.

There are many potential violations of federal law listed in the affidavit, including a law that makes it illegal to steal materials relevant to national defense and not return them to the United States government. Any person who violates 18 U.S.C. 793 (e) is subject to a 10-year prison sentence and penalties.

The affidavit also refers to 18 U.S.C. 1519, which provides that anybody who obstructs justice may be subject to a fine and/or imprisonment of up to 20 years.

According to the affidavit, the government made numerous attempts to obtain the files months before the search was conducted.

On June 8th, the government addressed a letter to Trump’s legal team reiterating that “Mar-a-Lago does not have a safe place permitted for the preservation of sensitive material.” All White House items and the secure location where they are being housed were requested in the letter.

The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, among others, had requested that Reinhart unseal the search papers in the interest of openness and transparency.

The Justice Department persuaded Reinhart, he said on Thursday, that certain parts of the affidavit should remain sealed because their release would reveal “(1) the identities of witnesses, law enforcement agents, and uncharged parties, (2) the investigation’s strategy direction, scope, sources, and methods, and (3) grand jury information.”

According to Reinhart’s analysis, the government proved its case that the withheld information is little and necessary to safeguard the operation.
