John Eastman & Cleta Mitchell - Meta data doesn’t lie. I have questions. CNN’s Jim Acosta is 100% correct Trump is inciting another riot
To be clear there is absolutely nothing cool about Sedition. And there’s nothing cool about an attorney (or attorneys) thinking that helping Donald Trump steal the 2020 election is patriotic. It’s not
Okay so this is going to be an extraordinary deep dive and I make zero apologies for the amount of data, documents and facts contain herein…however here’s you dose (of extra strength) salt water therapy
I also think it’s important for you to reread the following statue…because it matters, a lot - case in point the recently unsealed superseding indictments. Read more here, and more recently here
18 U.S. Code §2384 - Seditious conspiracy
One thing you should know is Seditious Conspiracy is part of 18 U.S.C. §115 CHAPTER 115—TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES and the straightforward reading of 18 U.S.C. §2384 makes it abundantly clear this is a serious crime. Arguably one of the most serious crimes our Country has codified…
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; July 24, 1956, ch. 678, §1, 70 Stat. 623; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(N), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)
Recently one of my readers commented about a twitter thread (see below) and the meta data of Cleta Mitchell’s letter/memo and it made me think - I have about half a dozen public documents that I’ve collected for my John Eastman file. Why didn’t I think about reviewing the metadata and advanced meta data. As correctly pointed out by Christian Vanderbrouk the Meta Data indicates the 21 page memo was created by Cleta Mitchell
On December 4, 2020 John Eastman provided oral testimony during Georgia Senate Election Hearing. The reason I’m pointing you to Eastman’s bonkers December 2020 testimony is; 1) listen to his answers, 2) note what certainly appears to be “coordinated” questions and and answers, 3) now take a Georgia State Senator William Ligon’s “Report” ] because that’s not coincidence no that’s actually coordination and planning to further the seditious conspiracy…
…In November of 2020 I told you what to expect…Georgia, Nevada, GOP Trump (fake Electors) what’s the tie that binds them…
Before we jump into the meta data and advanced meta data subject - I do think it’s important to focus on five of the seven states and the Sedition-Trifecta aka Trump, Giuliani and Eastman. I will say that I took a lot of shit for my November 10, 2020 threads. Every ounce of my being wanted to be incorrect. But for those of you who have followed me on Twitter or Blogs know that if I’m saying “hey this is important —pay attention” but most of you know I have several murder boards and every tine I ran the “what ifs” it always landed me back to the series of events I predicted (see TwUnroll thread)
See November 10, 2020, archive tweet/thread
See November 10, 2020, archive of Trump & Pennsylvania lawsuit where I literally attempted to spell it out for my twitter followers (I have no idea why the WayBack archived that thread in German but if you click about halfway down you’ll see the thread in its entirety.
…Fact # 1 Team Trump filed a bevy of lawsuits. Ostensibly they appear to be heavy on bombastic assertions but incredibly light on facts
Note that on November 9, 2020 I was like hair on fire this is bad and you should be concerned, see Twitter Archive
Again I laid out a point by point argument in November 2020 - it didn’t bother me that my threads were largely ignored or met fierce trolling —I had a plethora of facts on my side and at the bare minimum I wanted my followers to have access to the underlying documents that helped formulate the Nov 2020 twitter thread
Fact # 2 the (not unexpected) @TheJusticeDept AG Barr memo giving a green light to various USAO to “investigate“ purported voter fraud
see the 2nd tweet in this mini threadFact 3 - in the PA lawsuit Team Trump focused on one datapoint that was NEW specifically look at paragraph 15 of today’s PA lawsuit - read that paragraph closely & see what I highlighted
https://cdn.donaldjtrump.com/public-files/press_assets/2020-11-09-complaint-as-filed.pdfFact 4 - electoral college meets AFTER the States certify their election tallies
that‘s important that’s why I spitballed that Trump’s end game is 2 fold
-delay state certification
-blow up the electoral college before
Jan 6 a Joint Session of Congress👇🏻https://history.house.gov/Institution/Electoral-College/Electoral-College/
And I literally closed that thread by tweeting the following - I didn’t want my twitter followers to fall for the Blue QANON and QANON’s misinformation and disinformation. I wanted then to have access to the public documents and that even though I never wanted that November 2020 prediction to come true, I already knew that Trump had already started the wheels turning. And everything I had researched until that point literally screamed red lights blinking “he’s going to do what no other President of the United States has ever done, reject the peaceful transfer of power” and that was largely my rationale for creating those long forgotten twitter threads. Again I never wanted to be correct but I know my followers trust my research and I decided to give them access to historical documents, current CRS Reports and other facts.
But then I’d be remiss if I didn’t also show you this November 1, 2020 Archived Twitter thread (also see TWUnRoll) Which almost entirely focused on the USPS (has Louis Dejoy been indicted yet) and the unacceptable delays in very targeted and heavily African American precincts. Again I’ve never wanted to be wrong more than I did in November 2020, December 2020 and January 2021 -I know that my twitter followers trust my research and they knew I had likely conducted an enumerated number of hours of research before I tweeted any of those threads. Nonetheless it’s astounding to me that even though my goal was to help my followers find the facts I was a constant target for mass reporting on Twitter.
And NO —I’m never returning to Twitter because that platform is a cesspool of disinformation, grifters, liars, pretenders and larpers. In my Twitter experience facts and research rarely punched through the cacophony of Blue QANON & QANON screaming goats. Mainly because I’ve never had any intention or interest in monetizing my research and I don’t see that changing. Largely because I made a public promise in January of 2017 and unlike some I don’t break promises, nor do I have a podcast, GFM, Pateron or other unseemly grifts.
Not that this matters but most of my adult life I’ve waited for others to catch up. Luckily for me, I’m in an industry that pays people really well to make early predictions and it’s been an asset for our clients. Knowing how to outmaneuver your opponent means you need to “think” like your opponent. Setting aside the fact that I’ve endured 4+ years of relentless online harassment and targeting, of which those malicious attacks had a direct impact to our foster daughter. (Don’t call CPS from your home phone number or a mobile phone # registered to you because that’s how dumb some of the trolls, stalkers, haters are ) or seeing several Blue QANON & Blue Verified twitter users repeatedly engaging in gross plagiarism. So I guess that’s been my payment <insert eye roll> Not awesome.
Luckily my employer continues to renew their contact with me. Side note, recently I disclosed to my employer that there was a very strong likelihood that my husband’s career meant we would be moving to the West Coast —suffice to say my employer’s response was: “wait… you can still telework for us, commit to fly back to DC once a month and migrate your General Assembly lobbying to others or commit to come back to DC for Nov thru Feb” —As luck would have it my husband was offered “his dream job” and they recently agreed to let him telework with a commitment that he would travel to both the CA & WA HQs once a month but he can work out of {redacted company’s name] DC HQ, which incidentally is just a few building down from my office.
In short we are not moving to Seattle for at least another year. Although my counter offer was somewhat of a hardball tactic: … if you’re asking me to manage the kids enrollment to new schools, my actual job and make a new home on the West Coast, I want a beach house. Otherwise have fun in Seattle and/or Menlo Park because I’m staying here in DC” I’m not exactly a fun person to negotiate with. A lesson my other half has repeatedly learned the hard way.
So now let’s focus on John Eastman…
John Eastman and the seven States who chose to execute his seditious conspiracy
Now let’s turn our focus to the states that propped of “fake electors” see December 14, 2020 WSB-TV local reporter’s exclusive:…yes if you’re wondering that’s me drawing a line in the sand and starting John Eastman, Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Boris (who sounds like :I have marbles in my mouth”..) Epshteyn, Peter Navarro and anyone else who helped Trump in his coup to overthrow the will of the American people should absolutely be indicted and should be disbarred (from practicing law) and forever disqualified from ever holding any Public Office or a position that requires public trust. I’m not going to move on from January 6, 2021 until I see perp walks and indictments. That’s my red line and I’m not going to back down. But I would like to show you how John Eastman’s plan came to fruition…I’d like you to pay particular attention to the time/date stamps of each tweet, it’s important because it helps you connect the “coup coordination” dots…
Exhibit A Georgia Republicans
I would also recommend that you read this relatively short Twitter thread, as it provides a contemporaneous tick-tock of the Sedition Shenanigans in Georgia. I would highly recommend you read the Atlanta Constitution Journal’s series of in-depth reporting on Trump & Eastman’s Efforts to overturn the 2020 Election Results. It is stunning and extraordinary investigative reporting. After all local news is the best news.
Exhibit B -Nevada Republican Party
also see December 14, 2020 archive of tweet embedded below And frankly I don’t understand how Twitter, Facebook and Youtube have failed to pull @RSBNetwork from their platforms. Because RSBN this isn’t a legitimate “news” organization/network, it’s nothing more than a Pro-Trump propaganda network masquerading as a “news” organization. Given that recently Nevada’s Attorney General Aaron Ford issued the following statement, you can read more here.
“…Our office has received numerous inquiries regarding some members of the state GOP attempting to award fake electoral votes to former President Donald Trump after the 2020 election…While we cannot confirm or deny the existence of an investigation, rest assured that this matter is on our radar, and we take seriously any efforts to rob Nevadans of their votes.”
Exhibit C -Michigan Republican Party..
Attempted to “crash” the Michigan state Capitol building…and let’s not forget that Michigan GOP CoChair Meshawn Maddock appears to have leaked the audio to CNN -in the leaked recording you can hear Maddlock putting the blame squarely on Donald Trump & his re-election campaign:
“We fought to seat the electors. The Trump campaign asked us to do that. I’m under a lot of scrutiny for that today”.
Exhibit D Wisconsin State Republican Party
Again I’m asking you to please pay attention to the time/date stamp of the various tweets because that’s important and actually buttresses the argument that this was a highly coordinated seditious conspiracy
And the stunning part is the Wisconsin State Republican Party is still attempting to have the State “de-certify” the 2020 Biden Electors -read more here -also see Wisconsin State Rep Jim Steineke’s point by point take down of the Wisconsin Republicans Patty disinformation. For Example:
Exhibit D - Arizona State Republican Party
Full disclosure Kelli Ward is possibly the most insane State Party leader in modern history but Kelly Lake might give Kelli a “chemtrail” run for her money in the disinformation and misinformation category
Exhibit D - Pennsylvania
Again the time/date stamps on these contemporaneous tweets are important but equally important are the “likes and retweets” on Twitter Disinformation and Misinformation apparently supersede actual facts and factual reporting. But again the “likes and retweets” exemplifies just how cancerous Trump’s big lie was and still is because as previously noted some of the States that bought into John Eastman’s Seditious Conspiracy are continuing to advocate for states to “de-certify” —which in of itself is mind blowing.
Exhibit F thru U
One thing I’ve learned about not being on Twitter from more than a year is just how disinformation and misinterpreted are dangerously amplified. This results in what you could call the Alt-Left and Alt Right echo chambers. But one thing that’s notable is “both sides” have repeatedly worked in almost concert with each other. This kind of horseshoe strategy leaves many Americans wondering who’s actually telling the truth and who’s just tweeting for the social media junkies drug of choice: retweets and likes. For Example:I’d like you to read Bern’s (that’s an intentional misspelling because I have zero respect for this Trump sycophant. Note the subject of the Tweet, the actual time date stamp and then look at the social media junky’s drug of choice —the engagements.
On Friday January 28, 2022 I saw the J6HSC alert come in to my inbox and I was like “YES” the J6HSC is not messing around -sending 14 subpoenas to the various “fake” electors. ICYMI You can read more here but in all due seriousness the J6HSC is absolutely investigating the “fake electors” and on January 26, 2022 DAG Lisa Monaco officially stated the DOJ is indeed investigating as well, read more here
Gateway Pundit a Pro Trump propaganda “news network”
Furthermore Trump’s iron grip on social media (prior to nearly all social media companies suspending his accounts (I think TikTok, Tumblr and My Space —I’m kidding about MySpace —sort of) by then the damage was already done. Meaning nearly everyday from (before the 2020 General Election) Trump was pumping his supporters with the most dangerous rhetoric that continues to present an actual clear and present danger to our shared democracy. Nearly everyday, specifically starting in late September 2020 —Trump used his social media megaphone to invoke (without any credible or substantiated evidence to support his claims) “it’s a rigged election”… “I won”…”they are stealing the election” etc and quickly the Alt-Right Media gladly amplified Trump’s disinformation and misinformation.
I can’t in good conscious call these outlets “news” organizations because they are not news organizations —they are PROPAGANDA OUTLETS
Gateway Pundit (who I personally believe should be de-platfirmed by all social media companies -big ups to Twitter for suspending their account 1 ) December 14, 2020 “news” article
Why is Cloud Flare still acting as the hosting party for Gateway Pundit? If you want to go down a labyrinth of rabbit holes -just take a quick peak at the various subdomains
Gateway Pundit backlinks are truly mind blowing
Yet for some unknown reason YouTube, Google’s parent company Alphabet has failed to suspend Gateway Pundit YouTube Channel and it is notable that it appears Gateway-Jim hasn’t uploaded to YouTube in over a month. I sent an email to Alphabet stating I was researching for an article and I’ve yet to hear back from them. Similarly Jim Hoft’s personal YouTube channel has not been suspended and oddly his personal account hasn’t uploaded a YouTube video in about 2 months. Similarly Facebook and Jim Hoft’s Instagram Account Gateway Pundit Instagram Account have not been de-platformed. I think the answer is simple, Facebook and YouTube are putting profits ahead of our Democracy and oddly it’s only Twitter who suspended Hoft & Gateway Pundit
In 2019 Wikipedia blacklisted Gateway Pundit “as a credible citation in -citing Gateway Pundit’s repeated "falsehoods, conspiracy theories, and intentionally misleading stories." Here’s a complete list of Wikipedia blacklisted “media” outlets which means these organization are not allowed to be used as a “credible” news source.
Donald Trump January 29, 2022 Texas Threat
Look I’m not telling you to ignore Donald J Trump -last night during his Texas “Rally” Speech he made the following and incredibly disturbing threats and then decided to offer pardons for his Domestic Terrorist that engaged in the deadly Jan6th Domestic Terror attack on the citadel of our Democracy, our US Capitol Building complex. And @Acosta is absolutely correct -this is beyond worrisome it’s premeditated and I’m glad Jim Acosta drew attention to Trump’s January 29, 2022 insane threats. Because as he correctly points out Trump’s “threats are premeditated and he appears to be reading them from a teleprompter” and that is incredibly unnerving
“…If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protests we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere, because our country and our elections are corrupt,”
Meta Data and Advanced Meta data doesn’t lie…
…but boy do I have a bunch of questions. For Example: when reviewing John Eastman’s six page memo -(Eastman authored two separate memos) his blue print on sedition and how to defraud the United States of America by falsely arguing that somewhere “hidden” in our Constitution there’s a “secret clause” that vest unilateral authority to the Vice President of the United States of America. Spoiler there’s no such “secret” or “magical” authority that Eastman largely centered his insane theory… it’s not grounded in facts or our Constitution.
Link to Eastman’s six page memo from CNN http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2021/images/09/21/privileged.and.confidential.--.jan.3.memo.on.jan.6.scenario.pdf below is a screenshot of the generic metadata for the six page memo. Generally speaking it looks pretty normal.
And now I want to show you the advanced meta data on Eastman’s six page memo because I had a hunch and right now it won’t make sense but I’d like for you to review the advanced meta data -specifically XMP Core Properties and Dublin Core properties. Again you can verify my assertion regarding the meta data and advance meta data -because like I said I had a hunch and sure enough of course it was…
John Eastman’s two page memo -also obtained and published by CNN
https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21066248/eastman-memo.pdf
John Eastman’s previous Written Testimony
In order to prove my assertion that reviewing the meta data and advance meta data of numerous public documents produced by John Eastman and then later transmitted to Congress in advance of his hearing testimonies. Below are a small batch of public documents that are sourced directly from Congress. Also a new name popped up in the Meta Data
Meta Data Example # 1 circa 2013
https://docs.house.gov/meetings/WM/WM00/20130604/100933/HHRG-113-WM00-Wstate-EastmanJ-20130604.pdf to be clear this was Eastman’s written testimony before the House Ways & Means Committee in 2013. Notwithstanding who is Matthew Hittle? (trust me on this put a pin in that name because based on information and belief I think the J6HSC should also bring Hittle in for a transcribed interview….
Matthew Hittle, Former CMS Senior Advisor and Capitol Hill ...sadly Adkin Gump 404 or 410’d Hittle from the Firm’s microblog website but that’s why you have to run an additional search on Akin Gump’s main website

Meta Data Example # 2
https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/12-10-14EastmanTestimony.pdf again this was his December 12, 2014 written testimony before the Senate Judicatory Committee
Meta Data Example # 3
https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/109768/witnesses/HHRG-116-JU00-Wstate-EastmanJ-20190712.pdf - now I’d like to to review the advance meta data (on page 2) I’m sorry but what is AIIM.org and trust me on this put a pin in that organized because it will rear its gnarly head several times
Example # 4 https://www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/07-22-15%20Eastman%20Testimony1.pdf again this is from 2015
Meta data Example # 6
https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrats.judiciary.house.gov/files/documents/eastman%20testimony%20-%20final%20(002).pdf - “Lessons from the Mueller Report, Part III: 'Constitutional Processes for Addressing Presidential Misconduct’” July 12, 2019 of note see footnote # 1:
“…Institutional affiliations listed for identification purposes only. The views presented by Dr. Eastman are his own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Institutions with which he is affiliated.
Metadata Example # 7
https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=792512 -which is a 45 page written testimony of John C. Eastman -Former Dean, Professor, and Director of the Center for Constitutional Law - but what’s interesting to me is the meta data indicates that the author was Carly Laywell (Contractor) see her previous publications via the DHS e-library also see Cultural Intelligence for Special Forces Personnel circa 2016 where she was a co-author
Meta Data Example # 8
https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU03/20170316/105706/HHRG-115-JU03-Wstate-EastmanJ-20170316.pdf
By now you are probably wondering why am I pointing out the meta data and advance meta data for 2013-thru 2020 specifically drilling down on Eastman Written Congregational Testimony? Well that answer is, damn John your IBM Think Pad is super old. Are you even sure you have antivirus software running? Bejesus you can’t afford to buy a new laptop? Or is this the same laptop Chapman University gave you and you do understand that “ownership” of said documents it could be argued are the property of Champan University, I guess that’s why you sued your employer which I discussed at length on January 26, 2022
To set your expectations I spent a significant time researching and quadruple checking my research —which meant I kind of ignored my family and work commitments over the weekend. That said I’m back to the 4AM daily three hour (one way commute) for the next few weeks. Meaning the prerequisite time required to research an article prior to publication will be extremely limited. And I might not publish daily articles this week. Again that’s predicated on my bandwidth and/or if I have any energy left in the tank after a 16+ hour work day …however of course I’ll post your daily saltwater/ocean therapy because it takes me less than 5 seconds to post it. Again please bear with me, my work schedule is essentially wrecked for the next few weeks.
And lastly because this is important to those who continue to engaged in uniformed nonsense regarding our Attorney General Merrick Garland - I’ll let him have the last word here
You can read more here and here -because facts should cut through the cacophony of the Blue QANON and QANON screaming goats
Be Well. Be informed.
-Filey
On February 7, 2021 Twitter finally suspended Gateway Pundit’s (and its founder Jim Hoft) accounts; https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/twitter-suspends-gateway-pundit-founder-jim-hoft/ar-BB1dto9p -last accessed on January 27, 2022
Holy shit on toast....this is bad. I hope the dominoes that the J6HC keeps knocking over, knock over a teeny bit faster. Trump is emboldened and is rubbing it in our faces.
Self care is most important now.
As is your daily salt water therapy
Wow! This is a lot to digest! It may have taken a better part of the weekend but it will take me several read throughs to understand some of it. The 'R's all on Dec. 14th, yeah that was planned. Okay, let me read again. Thank you for all of your hard work! You amaze us on the regular. Be safe.
