Wait... whaaaaaaaat?! @johnkerry is finally admitting they suspected vote tally manipulation in Ohio during the 2004 election?!! Uh, front page news please. Cuz yeah, it was kind of suspicious, w/ the OH results routed thru a back server created by Rove's IT guru. Jesus. 1/ https://twitter.com/LuluFriesdat/status/1037730452734464000
2/ One of my threads about the 2004 election and the routing of results through a backup server in Chatanooga that was hosted by Smartech which hosted all the Bush White House & RNC docs (probly Kavanaugh's too) & was later hacked by Russia btw..
4/ Here's the thread I referenced in post 2. I'm so worked up I'm shaking - sorry. https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/893558606536163328
7/ Link to today's Kerry interview. https://twitter.com/LuluFriesdat/status/1037747197905973249
8/ From November 2017. https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/932658582885056513
9/ The section about Kerry's suspicions re: the 2004 election in Ohio starts at 15:50. Wow, wow, wow. I'll transcribe in a minute. https://www.wnyc.org/story/john-kerry-reflects/
Link to my transcription of section of today's show where @johnkerry tells @brianlehrer that, yes, his campaign suspected electronic vote tally manipulation in Ohio during the 2004 presidential election. 10/ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EUrd5oNaWlZVSZarYwiHVOk03DhJjo6l/view?usp=sharing
And to those of you who think this is "old news" and we should move on, please consider that Kavanaugh was Bush's assistant White House counsel at the time. 11/
12/ slight correction: Wikipedia says Kavanaugh was WH Staff Secretary (not assistant counsel) under George Bush during that time (2003-2006) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Kavanaugh
13/ Not convinced this is relevant to Kavanaugh yet? Did u know that Kavanaugh and Chief Justice John Roberts both worked for Bush on the 2000 recount in Florida that Bush managed to HALT? https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/1037414939554603009?s=21
14/ Dud u know that a Global/Diebold machine in Volusia County, Florida somehow subtracted 16,000 Gore votes & this was discovered only bc a poll worker noticed Gote’s total going down? https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/1030953351574245376?s=21
15/ Have u heard that, as reported in Vanity Fair, Global/Diebold (the company whose machine subtracted 16,000 votes from Gore’s total in Volusia County, Florida) made a convicted cyberfelon its Sr VP and programmer just months before the 2000 election? https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/927990529295552514?s=21
17/ Tragically, Rove’s IT guru (who created the backup server that routed the Ohio 2004 results to Smartech) died in a private plane crash not long b4 he would have had to testify at trial in a case alleging the 2004 election in Ohio was rigged. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/republican-it-guru-dies-in-plane-crash/
18/ So yeah it’s kind of big news that after all these years @johnkerry finally acknowledges that his campaign did in fact suspect electronic vote tally manipulation during the 2004 election in Ohio. But will the MSM treat it as such? Probably not. @JoyAnnReid @maddow
20/ Shame on our media. This is the type of wound that festers & oozes until the entirety of our democratic institutions has become infected. And no one “serious” will discuss it bc they are too afraid they’ll be called “conspiracy theorists”.
21/ Meanwhile, bc nobody takes potential electronic tampering seriously enough, this flies under the radar. https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/1036946502428459008?s=21
22/ Link to excellent interview of @craigunger (Vanity Fair reporter and author of Boss Rove) about the 2004 election in Ohio and Smartech's involvement. https://kittyreporter.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/smartech-boss-rove-and-the-2004-and-2012-ohio-elections/
23/ @craigunger's book explains that Karl Rove "used Smartech for the vast majority of his emails so he & other WH staffers did not have to use normal WH servers &, theoretically at least, if investigated, would have the ability to avoid scrutiny." https://books.google.com/books?id=ZogRg264cTYC&pg=PT27&lpg=PT27&dq=Smartech+white+house+counsel+emails&source=bl&ots=Srjymd7cC0&sig=W-qCXBDTsmKnmnsCVCdIIyO2mRM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4ncLT-KndAhVCilQKHfRWDkwQ6AEwCHoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=smartech&f=false
24/ Given that Kavanaugh was associate & senior associate White House counsel from 2001-2003 and then served as Bush's assistant and staff scretary, it stands to reason that he might have used Smartech as well. http://www.kwin.com/news/brett-kavanaugh-fast-facts/
