”Rudy Giuliani had nothing to do with this,” said Robert Costello, Giuliani’s attorney. “You can’t attach Rudy Giuliani to Sidney Powell’s crackpot idea.”
“Just landed back in DC with the Mayor huge things starting to come together!” an employee from the firm Sullivan Strickler, which was hired by Sidney Powell to examine voting systems in Coffee County, wrote in a group chat with other colleagues on January 1.
Former New York Mayor Giuliani was consistently referred to as “the Mayor,” in other texts sent by the same individual and others at the time.
“Most immediately, we were just granted access – by written invitation! – to Coffee County’s systems. Yay!” the text reads.
Props to the authors of the article, Zachary Cohen and Sara Murray, for the excellent comedic structuring.

Maybe this is why its taking so long. Shes gonna file indictment proceedings against them all?
And this will be state charges.
No presidential pardons for you.
Oh wait.
What if Lyndsay Graham is in there lmao. He called Rathensburger ( I think that's how you spell it) as well.
Graham is up to his ass in this. 20 years ago I thought he was a bigot, but one who had opinions worth listening to on national security and military affairs.
What a sad little wrinkled balloon he turned out to be. Hope his ass gets indicted too.

'Member how Trump and Roger Stone were instrumental in Bush winning in 2000?
What the FUCK?! I was alive when this happened, remembered all the recounts and buzz about how close it is, and this is still literally the first I'm hearing about it. I didn't realize just how disconnected from politics my family and circle was. Now I understand the few grumbles I'd hear over the years about how it "should have been gore" I

I'm not a fan of either of those individuals. I know Stone has claimed to have played a part (he claims a lot of things and frankly I don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth), but are you saying Trump was tied to the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000? That's news to me, and I would be interested to read more about that if you could point me in the right direction.
Trump was doing a third party run to pull votes away from the democrats and then he killed that party by calling them nazis (which they clearly weren't)
Also, this part I'm unsure of, I think he bankrolled Stone at the time?
Point is it was a very wide net of fucking the system.

Classic Republican playbook, start shit and then project it on the enemy to make them look bad
It's actually an old fascist trick.
It's really effective too. You always know the horrible things you're doing before anyone else. So you can always beat the opposition to the accusation.
"You did X!"
"No I didn't, why would you even think that?"
Months (or years) later when there's an investigation...
"Hey wait, you actually did X!"
"You're obviously making it up, everyone knows it's what you did. People have been talking about you doing it for years!"
"This corruption goes all the way to the top! of my office... cough cough cough"
If she has a winnable case, the D. is fuuuuuucked.
Only if they also have evidence that the orders for it came from him. Otherwise it is similar to the shit with Michael Cohen: he can claim he expected lawyers to follow the law.
That is what they have to prove. Will have to see.

Lock him the fuck up. Also, you better believe that republicans are in some pizza shop basement raping and mutilating kids. Every accusation is a confession. 100% of the time.
💀
I'm shocked! SHOCKED!
Well not that shocked.
Covfefe
Ok now do the Republican Senators that helped the coup like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Boebert etc
What exactly was the breach? There is no detail about what data was accessed or who accessed it in the entire article.
Wait... there's a Coffee County in Georgia?
What if he was planning this since 2017, and their code name for the operation was "covfefe"....
A covert operation involving coffee county, but executed poorly? I think you cracked the case!

There's a whole damn Waffle House of counties.
Early, Cook, Crisp, Bacon, and Coffee are all GA counties.
As a now-westerner, the only explanation I can come up with is that it's a job-creation scheme for crooked sheriffs.
(We got a few of those out here too mind you, seems to go with the job)
