Sounds like a scam: a conservative's doubts about the new scheme of MAGA supporter Charlie Kirk.

The report was obtained thanks to the election monitoring group Coalition for Good Governance, which received the documents.

Powell, who pleaded guilty last week as part of a deal, will receive six years of probation but will not go to prison. She faced up to 20 years in prison.

Trump stated that she never worked for him. "A computer expert in computer forensics," reported The New Yorker, confirmed that the Coffee County election server was hacked.

Chairman of the Georgia State Election Commission

At that time, a former federal judge named William Duffy repeatedly insisted on involving the FBI in the investigation. However, the agency declined, handing the case over to the GBI, despite its limited resources and inability to cross state lines.

A year after the start of the Coffee County investigation by the GBI, Powell and 18 other accomplices were named in a racketeering lawsuit by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

One of the discoveries is that when Powell joined retired General Michael Flynn at the property of Lin Wood, the president of the cybersecurity company Cyber Ninjas and a Trump supporter, Doug Logan met them there. Later, Arizona hired Cyber Ninjas to conduct its audit, but at that time it was not known that the CEO was collaborating with those trying to overturn the 2020 election. The company Cyber Ninjas is now defunct.

Jim Penrose was also invited.

previously worked as an analyst at the National Security Agency (NSA). According to the GBI report, Wood's "plantation" is described as a "central hub for processing information on electoral fraud."

On November 24, 2020, Wood tweeted: "I have been working closely with @SidneyPowell and others in recent weeks. Sidney's lawsuit, which she will file tomorrow in Georgia, tells the truth." Now Wood is turning a different story, saying that he disclosed all the information to Willis as a witness in her investigation. He posted the information on his Telegram channel last week, stating: "I did not work with them."

“Shortly after the meetings began in Tomotli, Powell hired a data processing firm called SullivanStrickler,” the report states. “The firm insisted that it was ‘politically neutral’ and had not been accused of any illegal activities, but at least one of its senior employees was a staunch election denier.”

He quoted the head of the firm in response to a question on Quora: "Why does the vote counting process in the US in 2020 take several days?" The answer begins with the words: "Quality fraud takes time."

A judge in Clark County, Nevada, allowed a company to test voting equipment and software after a lawsuit was filed by an attorney supporting Trump. They then went to Antrim County, Michigan, where another judge permitted Trump's lawyers to examine the election tabulator data. Despite the judge's order against disseminating the data, on December 6, 2020, CEO Paul Maggio sent an email to Powell and Penrose stating that after receiving payment, Trump's allies would be able to download the data.

Matthew DePerno, the attorney who filed the lawsuit, has been accused of conspiracy related to voting machines that were seized from polling places and dismantled in motels and apartments. He claims he is innocent.

It is unclear whether Maggio may face any consequences for disseminating data, despite the order from Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer. He is still listed as the CEO on the firm's website. Maggio was also with Powell and others when they broke into the offices of Coffee County, CNN reports. Powell was offered to pay the bill for SullivanStrickler.

According to one of the company's executives, "the majority of SullivanStrickler's clients are attorneys who are court representatives, and as such, the assertion in the agreement regarding the existence of appropriate authority for the proposed work was acceptable." They placed the responsibility on Powell, as the client, to ensure that they were following the law. "If Powell had fulfilled her duties in good faith, as required by the contract she signed with SullivanStrickler, she would have known that the Georgia Administrative Code explicitly prohibits access to rooms where the election management system or voting equipment is stored by individuals who are not election commission employees," the report from The New Yorker states.

Misty Hampton, who is one of the 19 accused accomplices, approved a request from an Atlanta attorney for "open records" seeking information about missing votes. According to The New Yorker, this led to the arrival of SullivanStrickler. "Huge events are starting to converge! We have been granted access - by written invitation! - to the Coffee County systems. Hooray! We are now gathering details," said Trump attorney Katherine Friess in a Signal group chat that included a member of the SullivanStrickler team. The GBI report states that Hampton's "approval" was illegal as there was no official invitation "generated or approved by the Coffee County officials who provided external access to their voting equipment."

“At the request of Jim Penrose, we are heading to Coffee County to gather everything we can from the voting machines and systems,” wrote Powell, the CEO of SullivanStrickler. The New Yorker references former U.S. Attorney John C. Carroll, who dealt with racketeering cases in New York, stating: “If Powell wrote a check without knowing about the illegality of the scheme, that would be a good defense. Knowing about the scheme, it’s an incredibly burdensome act... Even the getaway driver is guilty of bank robbery.”

That's exactly how Powell ended up with the bag, so to speak. Donald Trump now claims that he never hired Powell.
