Leftist “Watchdog” American Oversight: FOIA Requested AZ Audit Text Messages – NOTHING To See But They Say It Is HUGE: It’s NOT

American Oversight, “a nonpartisan oversight watchdog” that uses FOIA and litigation to target Republicans recently received requested documents from the Arizona audit.

American Oversight is a tool for the Democratic party and it has targeted the audit of the 2020 election.

Influence Watch reports:

American Oversight (AO) is an activist and litigation organization focusing on filing open records requests targeting Republican interests, especially the administration of President Donald Trump. The organization was launched in March 2017, following and in response to the election of President Trump’s inauguration and is headquartered in Washington, D.C.[1] As of January 2019, all of its investigations and litigation are directed at Republicans; it claims to be “the top Freedom of Information Act litigator investigating the Trump administration,” with more than 1000 open records requests and 56 lawsuits filed in 2018.[2]

While promoting itself as a “non-partisan” watchdog, American Oversight frequently appears explicitly partisan in its choice of investigative projects.[7]

As of the end of 2018, at least 11 of American Oversight’s 17 staffers and three of its four board members have known career histories with major left-wing organizations, Democratic Party campaigns, or Democratic officials.

on Wednesday, American Oversight released a biased review of the messages in an attempt to discredit the audit process. The report focuses on five different topics of their findings.

They used the messages to skew the truth by leaving out key conversation details and creating all sorts of conspiracy theories about the process.

1) Prominent Republicans

Here, they attack Congressman Paul Gosar for inquiring about the ongoing investigation and having knowledge of some privileged information. They mention his involvement with Jan. 6 Trump rally.

They have nothing on Congressman Gosar.

They go on to say the former National Committeeman of the Arizona Republican Party Bruce Ash emailed Tommy Hicks, the co-chair of the Republican National Committee,

asked that the RNC help finance the defense against Democrats’ legal challenges to the “audit.” The latest records include more instances of audit allies attempting to get help from the national party: On July 17, audit spokesman Randy Pullen sent a text to Ash saying, “Need guns, lawyers, and money. Have any?”

1) Ash’s email said, “The pressure the Democrats are [p]utting in the process are quite extraordinary. They need assistance… I hope you might be able to source some much needed financial and legal assistance.”, after mentioning that the RNC hadn’t provided a dime.

Democrats have dumped all of their resources into stopping this audit and covering up the crime. Remember the DNC’s Russia collusion hoax, too? Where is the issue in asking the RNC to help with an election integrity investigation?

2) Below, see the full messages from Randy Pullen to Bruce Ash. AO portrays a false image of Pullen based on a joke that he made. AO makes him sound like a criminal.

These people literally have no sense of humor. This isn’t a bank robbery scheme. He then said “Fun is about to start. Looks like AG going to step in.” followed by “we will see”.

Three days prior on July 14, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich requested evidence of illegal double voting in the 2020 election from Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. He later was notified by Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli that Maricopa County was in violation of the law, which required him to open an investigation into whether or not their noncompliance with subpoenas violated the law. He decided that Maricopa County is in violation of the law. They now have until September 25th to comply or they will lose 10% in state shared revenues, which amounts to tens of millions of dollars.

They’re hollering “Fire!” when there isn’t even smoke.

CORRUPT: City Manager, Ex-Assembly Member Among 4 Charged In LA Public Embezzlement Scheme

City of Industry, CA. – Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Friday that four men have been charged in connection with the embezzlement and misappropriation of millions of dollars that were supposed to be used to study whether a solar farm was suitable on land to be purchased by the City of Industry.

“Public corruption erodes the trust of our citizenry and hampers progress,” District Attorney Gascón said. “There is no place for it in Los Angeles County.”

William Barkett, Anthony Bouza, Paul Jule Philips and Frank Hill were charged in a 12-count felony complaint.

Barkett faces one count each of misappropriation of public funds, embezzlement, money laundering and grand theft. Bouza faces eight counts of having a financial interest in a contract or purchase made in an official capacity and one count of misappropriation of public funds. Philips faces one count of misappropriation of public funds, while Hill faces two counts of having a financial interest in a contract or purchase made in an official capacity.

Between 2016 and 2018, the City of Industry entered into a land lease agreement with San Gabriel Valley Water and Power LLC to examine a possible solar farm. As part of the deal, the city agreed to advance certain costs that had to be repaid if construction began on a solar farm.

Philips, the city’s former city manager and Bouza, an attorney hired by the city and a private contractor who allegedly helped draft an agreement, handled the funds.

During that time, roughly $20 million in public funds was allegedly routed to an account controlled by Barkett, who owned SGVWP.

While some of the money was paid to other vendors, Barkett is accused of spending about $8.3 million on personal items. He also allegedly falsified or altered invoices to inflate the amount.

Bouza and Hill, also a private contractor who was retained by the city and a former state assemblymember, are accused of having a financial conflict of interest when they allegedly drafted or influenced contracts with the city.

Man Sentenced To 5 Years In Prison For Tweeting Child Sex Abuse Images At Public Figures

Tampa, Florida – Marchaun Browning (24, Gibsonton) was sentenced to 5 years in federal prison last week, to be followed by 10 years of supervised release, for distributing and possessing child pornography.

Browning pleaded guilty on April 21, 2021.

According to court documents, in June 2017, Browning created several Twitter accounts. On several different occasions, he posted or “tweeted” child sex abuse images and tagged other Twitter accounts associated with elected officials, media outlets, and public figures — including a Tampa Bay-area television news anchor.

rowning’s tweets also contained messages directed at the intended and tagged recipients.

On June 18, 2017, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Browning’s residence. The officers discovered more than 160 images and one video depicting the sexual abuse of children, including some as young as toddlers, located on Browning’s devices seized from his residence.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with assistance from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Frank Murray.

Diplomatic and Consular Immunity

International law, to which the United States is firmly committed, requires that law enforcement authorities of the United States extend certain privileges and immunities to members of foreign diplomatic missions and consular posts.

Most of these privileges and immunities are not absolute, and law enforcement officers retain their fundamental responsibility to protect and police the orderly conduct of persons in the United States. This booklet provides a guide to the categories of foreign mission personnel and the privileges and immunities to which each is entitled. It explains how to identify (and verify the identity of ) such persons and furnishes guidance to assist law enforcement officers in the handling of incidents involving foreign diplomatic and consular personnel.
