Good day all. For six years, people have been looking at what happened with the Tainted Election of 2020. I won’t bother going over the apparent election fraud that put the worst president in American history, Dementia Joe Biden, into the White House. This is about someone who admitted that he hacked the Maricopa County voter registration system.
In the last year, we’ve learned a lot regarding the security of the election infrastructure around the country. We’ve found out that the People’s Republic of China had hacked and stolen voter registration records of hundreds of millions of Americans. Then we have a report of a hacker who broke into the Maricopa County registration system and confessed to Federal Agents. What happened to him? Nothing. Here are the details from RedState:
Newly declassified FBI documents released Thursday detail a 2020 breach of Maricopa County’s voter registration system. According to the files, a hacker used a vulnerability on the county recorder’s website to extract 633,000 voter records in the days leading up to the election. About 930 of those files contained sensitive, non-public information.
The suspect later confessed to federal agents and acknowledged destroying the data by wiping hard drives and deleting Google Cloud copies after realizing investigators were closing in.
So, even though he destroyed all the evidence, he confessed to, frankly, enough criminal activity to get him locked up for at least 10 years. So what happened?
Nothing. Nothing happened next.
The FBI presented the full case, including the confession, to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Arizona, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, and two county prosecutors. All of them declined to bring charges.
“Today, the White House Government Transparency Task Force released intelligence community and FBI documents detailing an election cyber incident in which a self-described hacker extracted 633,000 voter registration files from a Maricopa County site on the eve of the 2020 election,” chairman John Solomon wrote on X early this morning.
“The FBI expended significant resources to solve the case and even got the suspect to confess,” he added. “But the Biden DOJ via the U.S. attorney in Phoenix and three state and local prosecutors all declined to prosecute. No accountability.”
I’m not at all surprised. Anything that would have shown that President Trump was correct about the election and that Biden didn’t actually win it, had to be suppressed at all costs, even if it meant covering up actual, confessed crimes of tampering with election data.
“The FBI confirmed that voter records were illegally extracted from the site and identified a suspect who admitted the crime,” a letter from the Bureau to the Task Force reads.
I suspect that these were local agents who hadn’t been contaminated by the Washington HQ environment. They found something, investigated it, caught a suspect, the suspect confessed and they handed everything to the U.S. Attorney to prosecute the case. The U.S. Attorney? He may have run it up to Merrick Garland, and then been told to drop the charges and bury everything. I looked up who the U.S. Attorney was under Joe Biden. The individual was Gary M. Restaino. I think he needs to be asked some very pointed questions.
For years, the public only got scraps of information about the breach. These new files finally lay out just how complete the evidence was and how thoroughly it was ignored. Jeff Clark, former Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division during that timeframe, was one of many who found the revelations nothing short of befuddling.
“Standing alone, the Maricopa County, Arizona hack was one of the largest compromises in U.S. history of confidential voter data. Yet the culprit was allowed to get off scot-free,” he said. “Was the hacker told he was golden and skate? Is that why he maintained he acted alone?”
“That tends to happen when a target knows they’re not going to be prosecuted.”
Definitely, the fix was in, and as far as I’m concerned, this is a classic case of obstruction of justice. My original thinking regarding the last US Attorney was that he should be hauled up in front of an oversight committee. Now I think he needs to be brought in front of a Grand Jury. If he was ordered to drop the case from higher authority in Washington, he should have records. If he did this on his own? Indict him and put him on trial.
Arizona election officials have long pushed back on claims of widespread 2020 vulnerabilities. After President Trump’s July primetime address on election security, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) called the disclosures “unimpressive” and “a rehash of the same grievance.”
Yeah, about that. I looked this clown up. He has every reason to want to memory hole this thing. He was the recorder of Maricopa County when this happened and has since been elected as the Secretary of State. With this revelation, both he and Katie Hobbs, the current Govno of Arizona, might just find themselves in legal jeopardy.
The new documents may not change the fundamental distinction Arizona officials have drawn between voter-registration data and the systems that actually cast and count ballots.
What they do make clear is that when a significant breach of confidential voter information happened, multiple layers of authority chose not to act. It was a real-world test case. And nearly six years later, those decisions remain unexplained.
Which is why a Grand Jury needs to be impaneled. The FBI agents on the scene did their jobs. It was the U.S. Attorney who buried the case, either on his own or under orders from the DoJ.
Rather than pursue the case, several Arizona officials spent years telling the public that 2020 was historically secure. Gov. Katie Hobbs (D), then the Arizona Secretary of State, said the state had conducted “easily the smoothest” and “most secure election in recent history” as she certified the results.
Republican members of the county’s Board of Supervisors told Congress that the election in Maricopa County was “the most secure, verified election in our history.”
Well, I think it may be time for Congress to bring those McCain RINO’s back and ask them to explain all this information now being released. Either they were completely incompetent or they lied to Congress.
Solomon writes that the latest information “highlights the threat President Trump raised … that U.S. intelligence has believed since January 2020 that voter registration data is not well protected.”
The documents now show that such data can be hacked, stolen, and ignored with zero accountability.
And this brings up the question on what happens now to the hacker? The evidence is still there, including his confession. Can he be tried now? I honestly don’t have an answer to that. It may be that the statute of limitations has expired, or some other legal mechanism has kicked in and he can’t be charged. I don’t know what can be done, but at the very least, all the people involved in this decision not to prosecute need to brought forward and made to sweat. Who knows? We might just get the smoking gun that can be used against Merrick Garland.
