Fulton County jury against threats from Trump and his supporters - preventing on time

The report comes courtesy of election watchdog group Coalition for Good Governance, which obtained the documents. Powell, who pleaded guilty last week as part of the deal, will receive six years probation but will not go to prison. She faced up to 20 years in prison. Trump later claimed she never worked for him.

The Georgia State Board of Elections' Coffey County computer forensics expert confirmed that Coffey County's election servers were hacked," according to an article in The New Yorker. "The chairman of the state select committee at the time, a former federal judge named William Duffy, repeatedly pressed the FBI to step in. But the agency refused, giving the case to the GBI despite its modest resources and inability to cross state lines."

A year after the GBI began investigating Coffey County, Powell and 18 other co-conspirators were named in a racketeering lawsuit by Fulton County Attorney General Fani Willis. Among the revelations was that when Powell joined retired Gen. Michael Flynn on the property of Lyn Wood, head of the Trump-supporting Cyber Ninjas, Doug Logan met them there. Arizona later hired Cyber Ninjas to host its audience, but it wasn't known at the time that the CEO was working with those trying to overturn the 2020 election. Cyber Ninjas has now ceased operations. Also present was Jim Penrose, formerly an analyst at the National Security Agency (NSA). Wood's properties were described in the GBI report as "a central hub for processing information on election fraud." On November 24, 2020, Wood tweeted, "I've been working closely with @SidneyPowell and others in recent weeks. The lawsuit that Sidney will be filing tomorrow in Georgia tells the TRUTH." Now Wood tells a different story, saying he provided all the information to Willis as a witness in her investigation. He posted this information on his Telegram channel last week, saying, "I didn't work with them."

"Immediately after the meetings began, Tomotley Powell hired a data processing firm called SullivanStrickler," the report said. "The firm insists it is 'politically agnostic' and has not been charged with any wrongdoing, but at least one of its senior employees has come forward as an election denier." The report quotes the head of the firm responding to a question on the Quora website, "Why does the process of counting votes in the 2020 U.S. election take days?" His answer begins with the phrase, "Quality fraud takes time."

A Clark County judge in Nevada allowed a company to inspect election equipment and programs after a Trump-supporting attorney filed another election lawsuit. They then traveled to Antrim County, Michigan, where another judge said Trump's legal team could look into the forensic image of election tabulators. Despite the judge's injunction in that case against turning over any data, CEO Paul Maggio wrote a letter to Powell and Penrose on Dec. 6, 2020, saying that once they were paid, Trump supporters could download the data. Matthew De Perno, the attorney who filed the lawsuit in that case, was charged with a scheme involving the removal of voting machines from polling places and dismantling them in motels and rented apartments. He pleads not guilty.

Misty Hampton, who is one of 19 charged co-conspirators, approved an Atlanta attorney's request for information about mail-in ballots. The New Yorker says this prompted the arrival of SullivanStrickler. "Huge things are starting to add up! Most importantly, we've been allowed access - by written invitation! - to Coffey County systems. Yay! Gathering details now," Trump's attorney Kathryn Friess said in a Signal group chat with team member SullivanStrickler. The GBI report says Hampton's "endorsement" was not legal, and there was no formal invitation "generated or coordinated by Coffey County officials granting outside access to their election equipment."

"At the request of Jim Penrose, we are traveling to Coffey County to gather what we can of the voting machines and systems," CEO SullivanStrickler wrote in an email to Powell. The article quotes former federal prosecutor John Q. Carroll, who prosecuted racketeering cases in New York City, saying, "If Powell wrote the check without knowing the scheme was illegal, that would be a good defense. Knowing the scheme, it's an incredibly astounding act.... Even the getaway driver is guilty of bank robbery." That's how Powell was left holding the bag, so to speak. Donald Trump now claims he never hired Powell. Read the detailed report here.
