Cyber Ninja CEO Doug Logan… First rate liar
Republican Election Skullduggery
As legal issues haunt former president Trump from election fraud, his theft of top secret documents from The White House in fact 10,000, pages worth. The talk about stolen elections has continued on. But as Trump claims that the election was stolen from him, there is new evidence that shows possible election manipulation in Georgia’s voting machines by Trumpsters.
Two months after the 2020 presidential election, a group of computer experts went to South Georgia to copy software and data from voting equipment in an apparent breach of a county election system. They were greeted outside by the head of the local Republican Party, who was involved in efforts by then-President Donald Trump to overturn his election loss.
Thank god for modern technology, A security camera outside the elections office in rural Coffee County captured their arrival. The footage also shows that some local election officials were at the office during what the Georgia secretary of state’s office has described as “alleged unauthorized access” of election equipment. Security footage from two weeks later raises added alarms, showing two people who were instrumental in Trump’s wider efforts to undermine the election results entering the office and staying for hours. I wonder what they were doing in there for so long don’t you? It don’t take much thought in figuring out just what they were doing. The security video from the elections office in the county about 200 miles southeast of Atlanta offers a indication of the lengths Trump’s allies went to in service of his fraudulent election claims. It further shows how access was facilitated by local officials who are entrusted with protecting the security of elections while raising concerns about sensitive voting technology being released into the public domain.
What is wrong with these people that they feel that they must cheat to win an election? How has trump brain washed these folks. Rump does not care about these people; he has zero care about them yet they do illegal actions in order to try and thwart the election. It will be them who faces prison time and fines not Trump.
The corruption does not end in Georgia, Georgia wasn’t the only state where voting equipment was accessed after the 2020 presidential election. Important information about voting systems also was compromised in election offices in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Colorado. Election security experts worry the information obtained including complete copies of hard drives could be misused by those who want to interfere with future elections. The system is only as secure as the people who are entrusted to keep it secure can be trusted. And unfortunately, Magna’s cannot be trusted period.
There is a long running lawsuit against the voting machines used in Georgia, people want to make it where you actually mark your ballot. The Coffee County security footage was obtained through that lawsuit, which alleges that Georgia’s touchscreen voting machines are vulnerable to attack and should be replaced by hand-marked paper ballots. This is unrelated to trumps accusations.
But the alleged breach in Coffee County’s elections office also has caught the attention of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is overseeing an investigation into whether Trump and his allies illegally tried to influence the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Last month, Willis cited the Coffee County activity, among other things, when she sought to compel testimony from Sidney Powell, an attorney who was deeply involved in Trump’s effort to undo the election results. Emails and other records show Powell and other attorneys linked to Trump helped arrange for a team from data solutions company Sullivan Strickler to travel to Coffee County, which Trump won by nearly 40 percentage points.
The surveillance video, emails and other documents that shed light on what happened there in January 2021 were produced in response to subpoenas issued in the voting machine lawsuit by several media outlets, what is not surprising is that parts of the security video appear to contradict claims by some of the local officials, wow, never seen that coming from trumpsters, to think they would actually be liars.
These videos are not lying. Republicans, footage captures Cathy Latham, then chair of the Coffee County Republican Party, arriving at the elections office shortly after 11:30 a.m. on Jan. 7, 2021, the day after the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol. Just a few weeks earlier, she was one of 16 Georgia Republicans who signed a certificate falsely stating that Trump had won the state and declaring that they were the state’s duly elected and qualified” electors.
A few minutes after her arrival, she is seen outside greeting Sullivan Strickler chief operating officer Paul Maggio and two other people. Less than 10 minutes later, she escorts two other men into the building. The video shows her leaving the elections office just before 1:30 p.m., roughly two hours after she greeted the Sullivan Strickler team. She returns a little before 4 p.m. and then leaves around 6:15 p.m. why would she allow these folks into the rooms unless they were up to no good.
Latham said under oath during a deposition in August that she stopped by the elections office that evening for “Just a few minutes” and left before 5 p.m. Pressed on whether she had been there earlier in the day, Latham said she couldn’t recall but suggested her schedule as a teacher would not have allowed it. A lawyer for Sullivan Strickler said in an email attached to a court filing that Latham was a primary point of contact, in coordinating the company’s work and was on site while that work was done.
Robert Cheeley, a lawyer for Latham said in an emailed statement that his client doesn’t remember all the details of that day. But he said she “would not and has not knowingly been involved in any impropriety in any election” and “has not acted improperly or illegally. LOL, ya right, she was caught on tape and still lies about her involvement.
The video also shows Eric Chaney, a member of Coffee County’s election board, arriving shortly before 11 a.m. the same day and going in and out several times before leaving for the night around 7:40 p.m. Lawyers for the plaintiffs in the voting machine lawsuit wrote in a court filing that a photo produced by Sullivan Strickler’s COO shows Chaney in the office as the copying is happening. Are these people that stupid that they continue to lie when they have been caught red handed. My god people, when will this attack on our republic ever end. During a deposition last month, Chaney declined to answer many questions about that day, citing the Fifth Amendment. But when an attorney representing the county reached out to him in April regarding questions from the The Washington Post, Chaney wrote, “I am not aware of nor was I present at the Coffee County Board of Elections and Registration’s office when anyone illegally accessed the server or the room in which it is contained.” Chaney resigned from the elections board last month, days before his deposition
As the intrigue continues on, more and more liars, cheaters, home grown terrorists , in other words trump supporters continue to do thing, over throw the election. About two weeks after the initial breach, video shows Misty Hampton — then the county elections director — arriving at the elections office at 4:20 p.m. on Jan. 18, when it was closed for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. She unlocked the door and let in two men — Doug Logan and Jeff Lenberg, who have been active in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
Logan founded Cyber Ninjas, which participated in a partisan and ultimately discredited review of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona. The two men remained inside until just after 8 p.m. and then spent more than nine hours there the next day. Lenberg returned for brief visits on at least three more days later that month. Hampton resigned as elections supervisor in February 2021 after elections board officials said she falsified her timesheets. Resign all you want people; you are still going to jail.
Sullivan Strickler said the company was retained by attorneys to forensically copy voting machines used in the 2020 election and had no reason to believe they would ask its employees to do anything improper. I suppose that statement will come out sooner or later whether it was true or not.
The Georgia secretary of state’s office said it opened an investigation in March and asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for assistance last month. State officials have said the system remains secure because of multiple protections in place.
Hopefully through honest folks we can get to the bottom of this mess and put the blame where it needs to go. Right to the top of the liars. And may the justice system in this great country which is run on the rule of law send a lethal blow to everyone involved.
We cannot allow anyone to mess with our elections, for no reason whatsoever.*
