Feel-Good Story of the Day:

On Friday, after seven years of fighting in court for the basic First Amendment right to pray to God and also keep his job, Washington high school football coach Joe Kennedy coached his first game since winning his Supreme Court victory for freedom of religion. And in keeping his pact with God, he ended the game the way he always did: by taking a knee on the 50-yard line for 10 seconds in a silent prayer of thanks. Only this time, the stadium wasn’t silent because fans on both sides were cheering.

Kemp rejects special session request

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp rejected a request for an emergency special session to impeach Fulton County DA Fani Willis for her election interference in filing politicized charges against Donald Trump and his associates in the middle of a presidential campaign.

Kemp said his concerns with Willis’ actions are well-documented, but state law “clearly outlines the legal steps that can be taken if constituents believe their local prosecutors are violating their oath by engaging in unethical or illegal behavior. Up to this point, I have not seen any evidence that D.A. Willis’ actions or lack thereof, warrant action by the prosecuting attorney oversight commission.”

State Sen. Colton Moore, who launched the drive, replied that Kemp should “take a deep breath and read the Georgia Constitution,” which “outlines his clear power to call an emergency session.” But as a famous movie set in Georgia once taught us, “Askin’ ain’t gettin’,” and even if these garbage charges should never have been allowed into a courtroom, Gov. Kemp was likely never going to take any extraordinary measures to block them for Trump.

Fani Willis treachery update:  She ignored exculpatory evidence

Yesterday, we reported that Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, who has indicted 19 people, including President Trump, on various charges related to conspiracy to falsely overturn the 2020 election, might very well be embroiled in her own election scandal.  This one involves laundered campaign contributions from who-knows-where via the Democrat organization ActBlue and unwitting “donors” from around the country whose identity was apparently stolen for purposes of transferring funds in the form of credit card charges.  How ironic that someone who stretched RICO law as far as it can go (and maybe farther) to enable her to charge Trump is very likely the beneficiary of actual federal RICO violations herself.

Today, it gets much worse for Fani.  According to a new report in THE FEDERALIST, Willis has had documents in her possession that exonerate several of the people she is putting on trial, and other Republicans as well, for their lawful contesting of the 2020 election in Georgia.  She allegedly withheld it.

Surely you noticed that most of the stories about this case have referred to “fake electors”?  There were no “fake electors”; that was a term made up for the case by Democrats and spread around by the media (like “assault weapon.”) The documents Willis withheld make it clear that the Republican electors, the alternates, were not trying to fool anyone into thinking they were the “duly elected” slate.

From the story: “Specifically, Willis claimed [elector David] Shafer and the other alternate electors ‘unlawfully falsely held themselves out’ as Georgia’s ‘duly elected and qualified’ presidential electors.  She further insisted these electors --- with [Trump attorney Ray] Smith’s assistance --- intentionally attempted to ‘mislead’ figures such as then-Vice President Mike Pence and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ‘into believing that they actually were such officers.’”

But one of the documents Willis has obtained, a transcript of the December 14 meeting of the GOP alternate electors, refutes her allegations.  (December 14 is the day set by law for presidential electors to cast their votes.)  This transcript, a copy of which was obtained by THE FEDERALIST, makes it clear that these were not so-called “fake electors” but that they were nominated strictly to lawfully preserve Trump’s legal challenge to the state’s election results.

On December 14, there were lawsuits still pending that challenged the election.  So, just as Biden’s electors cast their votes for Biden that day, the alternate Trump electors cast their votes for Trump.  They weren’t pretending to be the “real” electors.  There was nothing misleading about what they were doing.

During the meeting, the reason for having an alternate slate cast their votes was made clear:

Elector (Shafer): “And so the only way for us to have any judge consider the merits of our complaint, the thousands of people we allege voted unlawfully, is for us to have this meeting and permit the contest to continue?”

Attorney (Smith): “That’s correct.”

As we’ve noted previously, slates of alternate electors are nothing new.  A slate of alternates was created in Hawaii during the razor-thin 1960 vote between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.  A dispute over who had won the state’s electoral votes led to both slates casting their ballots.  Hawaii’s acting Republican governor (yes, Hawaii actually had a Republican governor) initially certified the election for Nixon, but a later decision on a legal challenge by the JFK team resulted in the state’s electoral votes being turned over to Kennedy.

For this to work, both slates had to have cast their votes on the appointed day of December 14.  And that’s just what was done by the Biden and Trump electors in the similarly close race of 2020.  Smith cited the Hawaii case as precedent, saying, “We’re conducting this because the contest of the election in Georgia is ongoing.”

Trump never had HIS legal challenges heard, but if he had, and had prevailed in court, the alternate electors would have already cast their votes on the proper day as provided by the Constitution, to ensure the will of the people of Georgia was carried out.

So, if Willis had this transcript, why did she charge Shafer and Smith with conspiracy to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results, when it clearly shows they were doing nothing of the kind?

In a July 18 letter requesting a meeting with Willis, Shafer’s team included an expert declaration by constitutional law specialist Prof. Todd Zywicki, in which he contended the actions undertaken by Trump’s legal team and the GOP electors in Georgia “followed the Hawaii precedent precisely” and used “materially identical forms and the same procedures as the contingent 1960 Hawaii Democratic Presidential Electors.”  It was all above-board, they publicly announced the votes they cast, and “related actions they took were expressly contingent on the outcome of the pending election contest and were cast only to protect and preserve the remedies for that contest…regardless of the ultimate outcome of that contest.”

The professor went even further, to point out that with the election contested, the Democratic slate was actually doing the same thing as the Republican slate!  It, too, was “acting contingently,” because Trump was at that time contesting the results in court and it conceivably could have gone his way.  (If only.)

Obviously, the transcript of the Republicans’ meeting would have resolved any doubt about the legitimacy of their “alternate elector” plan, but Willis apparently kept this under wraps and proceeded with indictments that she knew were a lie.  THE FEDERALIST piece has more details, including some of the reasons why the Georgia vote deserved to be challenged by Trump.

Now let’s head north to Michigan, where an election clerk-turned-whistleblower has come forward to tell about a private Facebook group where his or her fellow election clerks discussed the evidence they were finding of voter registration fraud in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.  Judging from their comments, the election in Michigan was a stinking mess.

Recall that we wrote recently about a cover-up surrounding a so-called “investigation” of election fraud by the Michigan State Police that was initiated in October 2020.  The highly redacted police report had been obtained by a Muskegon resident through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and turned over to THE GATEWAY PUNDIT by the head of the Michigan GOP Director of Election Integrity.  (Now there’s a full-time job.)  This case had involved a huge shipment of over 10,000 suspicious and fraudulent voter registrations received by clerk Ann Meisch at her Muskegon office.  The story was first reported in THE GATEWAY PUNDIT, and they started receiving tips from those who wanted to help them “close the gap in the highly redacted police report.”

One person in particular who saw their report had an even bigger story to tell.  Evidently what had gone on was on a much grander scale than just a box of voter registrations.  It was so widespread, in fact, the election clerks had gotten together in a private Facebook group to discuss what they’d found and what to do.

This whistleblower said that “clerks across the state of Michigan received boxes and priority mail envelopes stuffed with registrations, many with the same signatures, the same last four numbers of their Social Security number, fake names and fake addresses.”  The boxes were dubbed “care packages,” and came from one of those “progressive” Democrat campaign organizations, GBI Strategies (also Empower Michigan, or EM).

EM has the same address as the Michigan Democrat Party.  Busted!

State Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson must have known about the police investigation --- which in 2022 was turned over to the FBI for burial --- when they called the 2020 election “the most secure election” in history.

To quote THE GATEWAY PUNDIT, “President Trump and his allies, including the entire slate of 2020 alternative electors in Michigan [note:  we would add Georgia], are facing multiple felonies and the threat of imprisonment for expressing the very same doubts publicly that these clerks were expressing privately.”

Be sure and read the full story, as it includes screenshots of the clerks’ actual Facebook posts. Sample: “I’m not much for conspiracy theories, but it sure seems like there’s been a lot of fishy stuff going on that puts this election in jeopardy.”

Oh, and this, from a clerk who’d asked the secretary of state’s office for advice: “Answer we got back from Secretary of Silliness was it wasn’t supposed to go to us.  Forward [problematic ballots] to them and they will handle it.  Wink wink...I sent the one we got redacted to our state rep...”
