Lots going on today, but the news out of Wisconsin is potentially quite major. A variety of outlets are running with this, but it’s a legal story so I’ll refer readers—once again—to Margot Cleveland:
Breaking: Special Counsel Finds Mark Zuckerberg’s Election Money Violated Wisconsin Bribery Laws
Yes, you’re right. Bribery is a criminal offense.
I can’t possibly keep up with these election investigations and still cover other major stories. However, back in the immediate aftermath of the fake election the story about the Zuck Bucks flowing to local governments caught my attention immediately. Despite Bluto Barr’s assurances that allegations of election fraud were “all BS,” I was just about 100% sure that the Zuck Bucks scheme was totally illegal. If I knew that, I guarantee you that Bluto Barr sure did, too.
If this interests you, follow the link. Margot has a good summary that looks at the story from a number of angles. The thing about this story, as I see it from a criminal standpoint, is that it was all basically out in the open and well documented. There’s no need for all the forensic stuff with ballots and machines and all that.
I'm from WI...nothing will happen unless and until both the AG and Gov flip to GOP this Fall. Which means we have to win well outside the margin of fraud, because the Dems know this and will pull out all stops to kill any criminal investigation.
Three movies:
Democrats - any questioning of the 2020 election is terrorist, insurrectionist, conspiracy theory, and has been debunked by the courts and the doj. And any posting in this conspiracy theory the election was stolen will get you banned from social media.
Establishment GOP - includes nro and Liz Cheney - see Democratic View plus Trump is a sore loser, and is endangering the future of the Republican Party. He needs to move on.
Trump - there was cheating and the election was stolen.
