House Oversight Committee Trump’s BIG LIE & the DOJ -RECEIPTS for DAYS- the emails are BAT SHIT CRAZY - as promised UPDATED
At this point Mark Meadows just needs to be taken into custody by the FBI, locked in an interrogation room for days and then turn on the camera - this is UNREAL
I had a few minutes in-between meetings but I don’t have the bandwidth to do a deep dive - below are excepts from the House Oversight Press Release - to help you better navigate the 240+ pages note the color coded table of contents the numbers to the right are the corresponding page numbers to the emails/communications in the report
DONALD J TRUMP and his enablers are a CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER to our DEMOCRACY. Period. Full Stop
Oh you think I’m overselling how bat shit crazy the emails are? For example Rudy Giuliani and Mark Meadows literally pressured Acting Attorney General Rosen and other political and career senior Department of Justice employees to
“investigate” wether Israel was “remote” changing votes from Trump to Biden/
This is only one of dozens of insane and desperate measures Trump et al took because he refuses to believe he’s a big loser —but this is insanity👇🏻
House OverSight Committee
Moments ago released 240+ pages of newly obtained documents (FTR the House Server is likely slammed so it’s taking a long time for the Report to come up)
President Trump Sent Bogus Election Fraud Claims to Top DOJ Officials Minutes Before Announcing Their Promotions to the Top Two Spots in the Department
On December 14, 2020—the day electors in each state certified the Electoral College votes—President Trump’s White House Assistant sent an email with the subject “From POTUS” to then-Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen. The email attached materials about alleged voter fraud in Antrim County, Michigan, including “talking points” that asserted, “a Cover-up is Happening regarding the voting machines in Michigan,” and, “Michigan cannot certify for Biden.”
Just two minutes after President Trump’s assistant sent these documents to Mr. Rosen, then-Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, through his assistant, sent the same documents to the U.S. Attorneys for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan.
Approximately 40 minutes after sending this phony voter fraud information, President Trump tweeted that Attorney General Barr—who had said publicly that he had not seen widespread election fraud—would be stepping down, that Mr. Rosen would serve as Acting Attorney General, and that Mr. Donoghue would serve as Acting Deputy Attorney General.Requests for
President Trump Used Official White House Channels and a Private Attorney to Pressure DOJ to Urgently File a Supreme Court Lawsuit to Nullify the Election
On December 29, 2020, President Trump’s White House Assistant emailed Mr. Rosen, Mr. Donoghue, and Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall, attaching a draft legal brief to file in the Supreme Court. She wrote, “The President asked me to send the attached draft document for your review,” and provided a phone number so they could contact the President directly.
The draft 54-page complaint demanded that the Supreme Court “declare that the Electoral College votes cast” in six states that President Trump lost “cannot be counted,” and requested that the Court order a “special election” for president in those states.
On the very same day, a private attorney, Kurt Olsen, contacted multiple senior DOJ officials on President Trump’s behalf to urge them to file this complaint. In one email to Mr. Rosen’s Chief of Staff, he wrote: “As I said on our call, the President of the United States has seen this complaint, and he directed me last night to brief AG Rosen in person today and discuss bringing this action. I have been instructed to report back to the President this afternoon after this meeting.” In a separate email to the Acting Solicitor General, Mr. Olsen added, “This is an urgent matter.”
Emails indicate that Mr. Rosen discussed the filing with Mr. Olsen on or around December 29, 2020, and asked Mr. Olsen to send him Supreme Court precedent supporting the arguments in the complaint. Mr. Olsen previously represented Texas in its failed lawsuit to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
President Trump Enlisted Assistant AG Jeffrey Clark in an Attempt to Advance Election Fraud Claims
Emails confirm that on December 31, 2020, and January 3, 2021, President Trump met with Mr. Rosen, then-Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark, and other DOJ officials. During these meetings, President Trump reportedly pressured them to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election.
On January 1, 2021, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows directed Mr. Rosen to have Mr. Clark look into “signature match anomalies in Fulton county, GA.” Later that day, Mr. Rosen sent Mr. Clark the cell phone number of then-U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia Byung J. Pak with the subject line “atlanta.” That day, Mr. Clark also emailed Dustin Carmack, Chief of Staff to the Director of National Intelligence, to request a call.
On January 2, 2021, Mr. Rosen followed up with Mr. Clark regarding his call with Mr. Pak. Mr. Clark replied, “I spoke to the source and am on with the guy who took the video right now. Working on it. More due diligence to do.” Later that day, President Trump referred to Mr. Pak as a “never-Trumper U.S. Attorney” while discussing two videos purporting to show fraudulent votes in Fulton County with Georgia Secretary of Secretary Brad Raffensberger.
The January 3 meeting was described in press reports as an “Apprentice”-like battle during which President Trump considered “whether to fire Mr. Rosen and replace him with Mr. Clark” who was sympathetic to the President’s election fraud claims. After the meeting, Associate Deputy Attorney General Patrick Hovakimian reported to his colleagues: “it sounds like Rosen and the cause of justice won.”
Later that evening, Mr. Donoghue emailed Mr. Pak with the subject line “Please call ASAP.” Mr. Pak resigned less than 10 hours later, reportedly under pressure from the Trump White House.
The White House Chief of Staff Pressured DOJ to Investigate Conspiracy Theories At Least Fives Times
Mark Meadows you son of a bisque swamp seditious master - I hope you are blacklisted for life and good luck with next week’s job interview(s) in Washington Circle. You are not fit to pickup my dog’s turds.
Newly released documents substantiate recent reports that former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows pressured DOJ officials—on at least five occasions—to investigate baseless claims of election fraud or put pressure on other officials to pursue these claims.
On December 30, 2020, Mr. Meadows forwarded Mr. Rosen an email from Cleta Mitchell, a Trump advisor who later participated in a January phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. During that call, President Trump reportedly asked Georgia election officials to “find” enough votes to declare him the winner of the state. The December 30 email contained allegations of “video issues in Fulton County.” Mr. Meadows wrote to Mr. Rosen: “Can you have your team look into these allegations of wrongdoing. Only the alleged fraudulent activity.”
Later on December 30, 2020, Mr. Meadows emailed Mr. Rosen a translation of a document from an individual in Italy claiming to have “direct knowledge” of a plot by which American electoral data was changed in Italian facilities “in coordination with senior US intelligence officials (CIA)” and loaded onto “military satellites.” This individual claimed that the true data, as well as sources within the conservative wing of the Italian secret service, confirmed that Donald Trump was “clearly the winner” of the 2020 election.
On January 1, 2021, Mr. Meadows emailed Mr. Rosen on three separate occasions to provide unsubstantiated claims about election fraud or ask him to take direct action to change the results:
At 3:08 p.m., Mr. Meadows sent Mr. Rosen a YouTube link referencing the Italy conspiracy, labeled “Brad Johnson: Rome, Satellites, Servers: an Update.” Mr. Rosen forwarded the email to Mr. Donoghue, who responded: “Pure insanity.” Mr. Rosen explained to Mr. Donoghue that after receiving the message, he was asked to have the FBI meet with Brad Johnson, who Mr. Rosen learned “is working with Rudy Giuliani.” Mr. Rosen said he refused the request.
At 4:13 p.m., Mr. Meadows sent another email to Mr. Rosen, writing: “There have been allegations of signature match anomalies in Fulton county, Ga. Can you get Jeff Clark to engage on this issue immediately to determine if there is any truth to this allegation.” Mr. Rosen forwarded this email to Mr. Donoghue with the comment: “Can you believe this? I am not going to respond to the message below.”
At 6:56 p.m., Mr. Meadows forwarded Mr. Rosen a document alleging voting irregularities and problems with Dominion machines in New Mexico and asking Mr. Rosen for his “team to review the allegations contained herein.”

If the House Website is running too slow (which it is)
- I went ahead and uploaded the newly released documents to my public drive - okay but in all seriousness I have to get back to my J-O-B… TTYL and BOLO for a follow up article after COB… -Filey

Other potential witnesses for Congress:
Molly A Michael -who’s currently employed by Trump as the Oval Office liaison
Theresa Watson - who’s with the Office of Attorney General - on December 14, 2020 just before 5PM she forwarded the Atrium “talking points” to Matthew J. Schneider
Matthew J Schneider resigned on Jan6th 21, 2021

December 29, 2020 Kurt Olsen https://www.linkedin.com/in/kurt-olsen-65619046 sent an email to the “acting” solicitor general - he was representing Texas in their insane lawsuit - notice- “this is an urgent matter” and that he did not use his firm’s email address
Yet in a separate email to John Moran (justice Dept) it appears he used his firms email - based on the signature and format of “from”
In additional emails (December 30) Olsen to DOJ he disclosed that Pennsylvania State Senator Mastriano (who was at the Jan 6th insurrection (found here)
In short today’s documents released by the House OverSight Committee shows just how determined Trump et al were. And while some at the Department of Justice were clearly aware that their emails would one day be released —there are some current DOJ employees who need to be called in, placed under oath and let the cameras roll. Because what Trump did (and is still continuing to do) is an absolute clear and present danger to our Democracy.
At this point I’m resigned to the fact that the Republicans party clearly hates our Democracy and will always do Trump’s bidding. Even as their own lives were in danger many Congressional Republicans have proven their loyalty to Trump versus to our Constitution and the people who elected them. It’s a profoundly horrifying and sad realization.
Chef's kiss (and iced coffee on my laptop screen!) - "Mark Meadows you son of a bisque swamp seditious master ... You are not fit to pickup my dog’s turds."
Meadows should be indicted, prosecuted and jailed
