Ginni Thomas’ Election Fraud Guru Claims He Arrested Pope

As Ginni Thomas, a prominent conservative activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, made the case to overturn the election to a top adviser to former President Donald Trump in the days after the 2020 election, she cited several conspiracy theories popular with the president’s most deluded supporters

In her messages, published Thursday by CBS News and the Washington Post, Thomas urged then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to look into the claims of Steve Pieczenik, a little-known conspiracy theorist whose ideas are often too crazy for even Alex Jones.

Thomas appeared to have wholly embraced Pieczenik’s off-the-wall claims in her texts, including the idea that Trump’s election defeat was really a ruse meant to entrap Democratic voter fraudsters.

“If you believe what Steve Pieczenik has to say, you have completely lost all touch with reality,” said Jordan Holmes, a comedian who follows InfoWars and its guests, including Pieczenik, on his Knowledge Fight podcast.

Pieczenik has a history of lying and often claims to have worked throughout the national security bureaucracy—including in classified positions, all of which makes it difficult to discern what’s true about his identity. He emerged in the media in the late 1980s as an expert on the psychology of hostage-taking. In the 1990s, Pieczenik launched a series of novels with national-security thriller author Tom Clancy.

Whatever grip Pieczenik had on reality began to slip decades ago, when he began to appear on InfoWars. Pieczenik became known for claiming that a tragic event, often a mass shooting, was in fact a false flag event or even faked entirely. He’s argued that the 9/11 attacks, the Sandy Hook shooting, and Pearl Harbor were all false flags. Among other claims, Pieczenik insists he once arrested Pope Francis.

Yup a whole lot of nothing. Finger wagging, twitter shaming that leads to many likes that leads to money to be made but no, no actual real impactful consequences for obvious bad and most times probably illegal behaviour.

'Came closer than widely realized': Ted Cruz worked 'directly with Trump' to try to overturn the election
   
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has bragged that he was “leading the charge” to ensure Joe Biden was not certified as the rightful winner of the 2020 election. But until now the depths and extent of his actions, including that he was “working directly with Trump to concoct a plan that came closer than widely realized to keeping him in power,” have not been widely known.

That’s according to a report by The Washington Post on Monday that reveals one day after major news outlets called the election for Joe Biden, Donald Trump, still the President of the United States, made “an urgent call” to Sen. Cruz, asking him if he would be willing to argue Trump’s just-filed case at the Supreme Court.

“Sure, I’d be happy to” if the court granted a hearing, Cruz said he responded.

The call was just one step in a collaboration that for two months turned the once-bitter political enemies into close allies in the effort to keep Trump in the White House based on the president’s false claims about a stolen election.

The Post adds another important revelation: Cruz’s longtime friend is John Eastman, the author of the “coup memos,” who retired from his post at the Chapman University School of Law after news of he memos became public. Eastman, who still serves as the chairman of an anti-LGBTQ organization, the National Organization For Marriage (NOM), is currently facing an ethics investigation from the California State Bar Assoc.

People’s Convoy Gives Up, Will Leave D.C. After 3 Weeks of Doing Absolutely Nothing

-Getty
Three weeks after the so-called “People’s Convoy” landed in Washington, D.C., the group is calling it quits after accomplishing nothing except injuring residents and circling the Beltway.

Co-organizer Mike Landis announced Sunday night that the group would pack its things up in the coming days and drive back to California.

“So what I want to know is, what do you think about heading to California?” Landis asked, to the crowd’s delight. “Sounds like a great plan,” one convoy-goer yelled back.

Landis further said that convoy-goers who remain posted up in Hagerstown, Maryland—who have experienced many freezing nights while camped out in the small town an hour and a half north of D.C. proper—will enjoy a southerly route back to California. “We’re gonna take a little more southern route, so it’s a little warmer than this,” he said.
He pledged to “come back to finish this job” in the metro area at some unspecified time, which seems highly unlikely as their crowd dwindles.

A federal judge on Monday ordered that more than 100 emails from Trump adviser John Eastman be released to the House committee investigating last year's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, asserting it is "more likely than not" that former president Donald Trump committed crimes in his attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election.

The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge David Carter marked a major legal win for the panel as it looks to correspondence from Eastman, the lawyer who was consulting with Trump as he attempted to overturn the presidential election.

"Based on the evidence, the court finds it more likely than not that President Trump corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021," Carter wrote in the ruling submitted in the federal Central District of California.

Eastman was trying to withhold documents from the committee on the basis of an attorney-client privilege claim between him and the former president. The committee responded earlier this month, arguing that there is a legal exception allowing the disclosure of communications regarding ongoing or future crimes.

Again being hyper sensitive to calling things what they actually are, instead of saying 7 hour gap of records, call it 7 hours of missing or possibly destroyed legally obtained evidence. That alone is a crime regardless of innocence or guilt of other matters that the evidence will show or not show.

There seems to be no outrage  at this, which dwarfed Nixon's secretary's 18 minutes of "accidently" erased White House tapes. The GOP's tactics of overt, massive violations of the law and deadening public reactions seems to be working. Merrick Garland's glacial, timid investigations into the attempted Coup is playing perfectly into that.

Hard to say, but maybe we are watching the implosion of the two countries that ran the world since WW2.

The lawyer handling the trump prosecution in New York state, pomerantz, a really big time lawyer, says that without question, Trump committed crimes. Yet the ag of new york state is not going to proceed.

so pomerantz quit and went public. No explanation will be given for this decision not to proceed.

Dont know when the limitation on stormy daniels expired, but trump was slam dunk guilty there. Cohen did time for it.

there are so many backroom, billion dollar, dirty deals at play in the states.... chances are many of the leading figures are compromised.

who would imagine trump, as president, with unlimited access, not getting whatever dirt he could find, on anyone and everyone.

So completely depressing.

Putin May Be Accused Of War Crimes In Ukraine, But Trump's Still Asking For His Help

Six years after calling on Putin for aid against Hillary Clinton, Trump is now asking for the murderous dictator’s help finding dirt on Joe Biden.

WASHINGTON ― Russian dictator Vladimir Putin may be accused of slaughtering children and overseeing other war crimes in Ukraine, but that’s not stopping longtime admirer and former U.S. President Donald Trump from asking him for political help again.

Trump, who tried to overthrow American democracy in an attempt to retain power despite losing the 2020 election, is now asking Putin to find damaging information on his successor’s son.

 

“I would think Putin would know the answer to that,” Trump said in an interview airing on Real America’s Voice, a pro-Trump website, regarding a payment a decade ago from a Russian oligarch’s wife to a company founded by Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden. “I think he should release it.”

To be fair, nowhere in his comments did Trump ask for Putin's help. He said that Putin may have information on Hunter that he should release but nowhere does he ask him to do so. Fake news from the right....fake news from the left....and everyone wonders why the world is so polarized right now. Shameful journalism all around the political spectrum.

The face of American  conservative "Christianity":

 

                           "Feeding children for free? Sounds like commie talk, buddy"

 

*sarcasm alert*

To be fair, she never said specifically children don't deserve free food because that's communism. Fake news all around that's why there's so much division.

See comment above with their 'interpretation' of what Trump said and how other interpretations that don't align with theirs are fake and is the reason why there is so much division in our society right now.

So if I call 911 and say 'My house might be on fire, I think you should come put it out if it is' I'm not actually asking anyone for help? Got it.

No responsibility for anything they say or do. That is today's "right". Barf.

I'm sorry....did I read that right? "Chances"? Chance they are compromised? Leading figures have been compromised for...Decades!! Maybe longer. OF COURSE they're compromised. 100% no question. Undeniable. Both sides of the isle.

This is why I continue to say that Trump will never ever see the inside of a jail cell. Never. It's not gonna happen. Now he might be suicided/Epsteined....but he's never going to jail. The compromised will never allow that.
