FBI, DHS Contacted Over Stealth Dem Effort to Gain Voter Data

Priorities USA's efforts in Michigan to get 2016 data so 'unusual' numerous gov't agencies were alerted

This article makes me wonder how much voter data from different states the leftists got in 2016 and before 2018, losing the House in 2018 & could it be connected to Project Veritas exposures on out of state voters either voting twice, or a false vote in state while the citizen lived in another state.

Think about this, what if they got massive amounts of voter data, and took years to analyze who no longer lives in the states, so the dems could send a fraudulent person to vote in state? This could happen simply because a lot states intentionally didn’t purge their voter rolls of dead people or people that moved out of state. Hence Judicial watch winning in suit against CA for them to purge 5,000,000 ineligible voters. In other words, Dems know who moved out of state on a massive scale and steal that persons identity to vote in state. This could be a much bigger scheme and problem than Project Veritas revealed

I’d say this is very likely

A massive effort to obtain Michigan voter data spearheaded by powerhouse Democratic group Priorities USA was so "unusual" that top officials in the state contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security over the matter, internal emails provided to the Washington Free Beacon show.

Michigan clerks began receiving "mystery" Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests last year from an opaque limited liability company, the United Impact Group LLC, seeking a large assortment of voter data from across the state, including ballots cast in the 2016 elections. The efforts were later linked to the Priorities USA Foundation, the separate but affiliated nonprofit arm of Priorities USA Action, the largest outside liberal super PAC.

The requests from the group "unnerved" local clerks, the Detroit News reported at the time.

Even though Priorities had been publicly tied to the effort, and officials were aware of the connection, the nature of the requests and the opacity of the LLC alarmed officials to such a high degree that numerous government agencies were alerted, according to emails shared with the Free Beaconobtained through Michigan records requests by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a group that litigates to protect election integrity.

—Attached and below you will find information regarding an unusual Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that has been pursued in Michigan," Mike Senyko, then the chief of staff in Michigan's secretary of state's office wrote in an Aug. 28, 2018, email to a senior adviser on election security at the Department of Homeland Security. "Following is a brief summary: All, or virtually all, of the local units of government in Michigan have received a FOIA request asking for ballots from the November 2016 presidential elections in Michigan. The State has not received the request. In addition to the request itself being unusual, the organization/person behind it was not easily identified – specifically Emily of the United Impact Group in Astoria, NY. In most instances, identifying information was redacted by the requestor furthering the unusualness of the request."

—"Yesterday, a local clerk informed us that the email in the FOIA was ultimately linked to a tereschchenko@gmail.com. Since that time, it has been discovered through media reports that the request is probably associated with a group called ‘Priorities USA Foundation,'" Senyko said. "However, with the unusualness of the request, the lack of transparency in the request, and an unusual email connection, I have chosen to forward this information to you directly. We had already begun to share this with the FBI in Detroit as well."

—The next day, on Aug. 29, the adviser responded saying the information would be forwarded to the rest of his DHS team and the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center to review.

—"Wow, read through," Williams wrote in an Aug. 27 correspondence to other individuals at Michigan's secretary of state's office. "A local clerk tried to email Emily and it came back as undeliverable – with some additional information attached. The clerk then googled that additional information. Please share with our law enforcement contacts."

—The clerk had attempted to email Emily at the provided address, mifoia2018@gmail.com, which came back as not yet delivered to tereschchenko@gmail.com."I googled that name," the clerk said in a message to an elections email address at the secretary of state's office. "Please see the following: Members of the Tereshchenko family have achieved prominence in Ukraine and the world as businessmen, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and landowners, beginning in the 18th century. The family has Cossack roots and comes from Hlukhiv, the former residence of the Hetmans of Left-bank Ukraine

—The FOIA requests from the United Impact Group are included in the cache of emails given to the Free Beacon by the Public Interest Legal Foundation; they include 17 requests in each FOIA sent to clerks throughout the state. The group sought information on Election Day ballots and related materials, absentee ballots and related materials, provisional ballots and related materials, and recount records.

—Priorities USA issued a statement in late August confirming that they were behind the FOIAs. The statement was released after information had already been shared with the FBI, the same day the chief of staff in Michigan's secretary of state's office shared the information with the DHS cybersecurity adviser, and one day before the adviser said his team would review the provided information.

—Priorities said it had contracted a third-party firm to send the requests as part of a project "to determine whether any discrepancies exist in the ballot process across various states and precincts that might disproportionately affect certain communities

—Marc Elias, an attorney at the Washington, D.C., office of the Perkins Coie law firm, was tapped to join Priorities USA’s board in early 2017. He was commissioned to lead voter-related efforts from its nonprofit arm, which would build a national database "intended to serve as a one-stop inventory of restrictive voting measures" to be shared with other liberal organizations. Elias was just months removed from acting as Hillary Clinton's top campaign lawyer when he was brought on board, and these Priorities efforts are similar to those he led throughout the 2016

—Soros was also a top donor to Priorities USA's PAC throughout the 2016 election cycle, providing $9.5 million to the committee, while his son, Alex, gave the group $1 million. Soros gave $5 million more to the PAC during the 2018 election cycle.

More voter data fuggery in anticipation of 2020

N.C. Elections Board Sued for Withholding Noncitizen Voter Data

The North Carolina state board of elections has been hit with a lawsuit over its refusal to turn over noncitizen voter data.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an Indiana-based election integrity group, filed suit Monday in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Western Division, after the board failed to provide the group with records in relation to noncitizens on voter rolls in numerous counties in the state.

The board continuously pushed back dates that they would provide the group with the records, which were first requested 280 days ago. When officials from the group went to obtain the documents in person, a hard drive was given to PILF's representatives that did not contain the data that the group had requested, according to the complaint.

PILF is seeking information on how state and local officials "identify and eventually remove registrants for citizenship-eligibility defects using immigration or driver licensing data." The group alleges that North Carolina's board of elections is violating inspection rights under the National Voters Registration Act of 1993.

South Carolina Dems Bar Major News Outlets From Convention

The South Carolina Democratic Party is limiting coverage of its state party convention to MSNBC, barring C-SPAN, CNN, and Fox News from covering the event live.

C-SPAN has pulled out of the convention, while CNN has filed a complaint, the Washington Examiner reports. Twenty-one presidential candidates are expected to speak at the event.

"IMPORTANT: MSNBC has exclusive rights to broadcast the 2019 South Carolina Democratic Convention. Any footage of the convention taken by other outlets may not be aired live, and is EMBARGOED FOR THREE HOURS after the close of the convention. This embargo includes any live-streaming from social media platforms," according to a release from the state party.

C-SPAN political director Steve Scully said the Democratic Party was "shooting itself in the foot" by limiting live coverage.

"Maybe they think that they are going to get better coverage. But they are losing out on Fox, C-SPAN and CNN who all intended to carry parts of the speeches live," Scully added. "Live is a key factor. We could put it on Sunday, but by that point, who cares?"

Scully said he told the party "in no uncertain terms you better think long and hard before you reach out to us to cover something else."

We’ll deal with 49 other state Democratic Parties. It’s ridiculous. It’s an open event," he continued. "We’re not happy."

This is not the first time the Democratic Party, or one of its state affiliates, has barred specific outlets from 2020 campaign events.

In March, the Democratic National Committee announced it had excluded Fox News from its list of networks hosting Democratic primary debates. Despite the ban, several Democratic candidates have done town halls on Fox News. Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I., Vt.) and South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg's Fox News town halls performed better than their respective CNN town halls.

Chicago Democrat Who Attended Biden Fundraiser Charged With Fraud

Former Chicago alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno was formally charged Tuesday in connection with a false police report he allegedly filed in January, according to NBC5 Chicago political reporter Mary Ann Ahern.

The charges for fraud and obstruction of justice come less than a week after Moreno attended a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in Chicago on June 12th.

In January, Moreno called police to report his Audi A6 stolen, and notified his insurance carrier. In February, Chicago police pulled over his girlfriend Liliya Hrabar driving the car and arrested her on charges of criminal trespass. Police turned their focus on Moreno, however, when Hrabar produced text messages indicating that Moreno willingly lent her the car the day before he filed a police report.

Charges against Hrabar were dropped, and Proco Moreno was arrested in May on charges of "insurance fraud, disorderly conduct, obstruction of justice and falsely reporting a vehicle stolen." On Tuesday he faced formal arraignment on those charges.

Long article, well worth the read

Byron York: Three reasons Trump-Russia hasn't turned into Watergate

by Byron York

| June 17

Why haven't efforts to impeach President Trump gained Watergate-style momentum? The lack of energy has created a sense of bafflement and disappointment among some of the president's most determined adversaries. But there are some simple reasons for it. Here are three:

1.) The facts are different. In Watergate, the underlying crime was a break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters, perpetrated by burglars paid by President Richard Nixon's reelection campaign. The scandal proceeded from there. In Trump-Russia, the underlying crime was the hacking of the DNC's and John Podesta's emails — a crime committed by Russians in Russia. Special counsel Robert Mueller, who indicted a number of Russians and Russian entities for their actions, spent two years trying to find conspiracy or coordination between the Russians and the Trump campaign. He failed.

That single fact has shaped every other aspect of the Trump-Russia affair. In Watergate, the cover-up flowed from Nixon's desire to conceal his campaign's involvement in the break-in and other political dark acts. It formed the bulk of the obstruction of justice case against Nixon, which in turn served as the basis for articles of impeachment. In Trump-Russia, Mueller did not charge, although he clearly suggested, that Trump obstructed the investigation of an event — conspiracy/coordination — that did not happen. That meant the simplest, most plausible motive for obstruction — Trump, knowing he was guilty, tried to cover up his campaign's conspiracy with Russia — was off the table. Given that, Mueller's obstruction case veered all over the map. He conceded that Trump had many motives to act as he did — anger at being wrongly accused, concern over his ability to govern, a desire to defend the legitimacy of his election — and that none of them involved covering up conspiracy or coordination with Russia.

2.) The press is different. Just as the facts of Trump-Russia are quite unlike Watergate, so the media environment of 2019 is quite unlike what existed in 1974. Back then, there were three 30-minute broadcast network newscasts, CBS, NBC, and ABC. There were two big newspapers, the New York Times and the Washington Post, and TV network executives sat down each day, within a few blocks of each other in Manhattan, to produce newscasts that basically illustrated the papers' latest stories. There was no Internet, no cable news, no podcasts, no social media, and no talk radio. Nixon, even if he had had strong defenses, faced a solid wall of media opposition.

3.) Congress is different. Differences in the facts of the cases and differences in the media's ability to report those facts have had a profound effect on lawmakers. They're better informed, if they want to be, and can make a better defense of the president of their party. And having a significant number of constituents supporting the president makes representatives more likely to support him, too. (Also unlike today, in 1974, opposition party Democrats controlled all of Congress, with 243 seats in the House and 56 in the Senate.)

So, this is a new world. It is perhaps not surprising to hear Democrats wish they could somehow turn today's Trump-Russia affair into yesterday's Watergate. If they could just hold televised hearings, they say, that could capture the nation's attention and give Trump-Russia a Watergate-like urgency. Americans would turn against the president by the millions.
