    I mean…

    It’s always been pretty obvious they wanted to “investigate” fraud so they could figure out how to get away with it.

    Like cheesey heist movies where the robber pretends to work for the alarm.company to case the joint.

    So, the person who’ll decide whether that voting-machine report ever sees daylight, and what gets done with the weaknesses it describes, is now the president’s hand-picked election man, a guy who at Housing was willing to violate the standards of his office and common decency to dig into Letitia James’ and Adam Schiff’s mortgage records just to make Trump happy that he could then punish them with lawfare.

    Back in February, the Guardian’s George Chidi walked through how this could unfold.

    After the FBI raided Fulton County’s election office and hauled off 2020 materials, Trump went on Dan Bongino’s podcast and announced that Republicans should “nationalize the voting” and “take over” elections in 15 places.

    That same week, we learned Gabbard had quietly trucked voting machines out of Puerto Rico to hunt for vulnerabilities. Set those moves next to each other, as the Campaign Legal Center’s Bruce Spiva did, and the pattern becomes shockingly clear.

    “This is not a coincidence,” he said.
