Ex-FBI agent sees something sketchy going on with promotion of Nunes staffers in final days of Trump

More apparent evidence of a coverup, rather than a coup.

Rep. Devin Nunes’s (R-CA) staffer who was working to take down the Russia investigation has just been promoted to chief of staff to new Defense Secretary Anthony Tata for the next two months of the Trump administration.

Chief of staff Jen Stewart served as the chief to Secretary Mark Esper before President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he was “terminated” ahead of the legislative battle over a military funding bill.

Nunes was found to be working with Ukrainian lawmaker Andrii Derkach, who was found to be an active Russian agent earlier this year by Trump’s Treasury Department.

Rangappa went on to note that “Kash Patel was behind the ‘Nunes Memo’ and Michael Ellis was responsible for moving the Ukraine call to the codeword server. I smell a coverup, not a coup. Would also explain delay in giving Biden access to nat sec info.”

They have plans to give military secrets to pootin. That's the whole thing. As soon as other eyes are there to see, they want this done and over before that.

get rid of all evidence of Donald &The Gang's dastardly doings. Then I thought, why would they wait until now? Then I thought, they really thought they were going to pull it off, but someone's vote altering shenanigans were unsuccessful. So, scrub, scrub, scrub.

change the voting machine votes like they usually do because of all the mail in ballots. That's why he was going nuts about the mail in ballots all along.

regardless of method the harder it is to change an outcome.

We have mail in ballots and paper ballots for in person voting. We have a touch screen for selection then when we finish and make sure it is the way we want it, the machine will print it and then we can take it to the scanner. A voter can look at the printout and if they find they still didn't get it the way they wanted it, the election judge can spoil that one and issue a new one.

That touch screen does not save anything. Once that ballot is printed, the slate is wiped clean until the next voter keys in an access code. If you have to go back to re do a spoiled ballot, you will be issued a different access code to bring up your ballot.

100% paper back up. When we run the tapes from the scanner, the total number of ballots cast has to match the number of checkins, so we know we didn't miss anything

Not enough votes in the electronic machines to change without it being obvious. Although eventually we will see some were changed. I'll bet it's how they won Ohio.

You have to do that every so often in order to have truly rotten (well composted) soil. Contents include a goodly amount of manure.
