Election 2020: 'Ahab' Released on Bond!

An easily manageable lot for a Tuesday morn. Not much terribly new, for example, Ace wakes up and notices the FBI Leak: The January 6th Organized, Coordinated Insurrection Was Not Organized, Not Coordinated, and Not an Insurrection 

They put out this expectations-lowering leak on Friday. Of course. . . . Defund the Deep State

Susan Ferrechio, WaEx, House Jan. 6 riot committee to seek electronic records from lawmakers, but I prefer Off The Presses headline: Democrats Plan New Fishing Expedition To Revive Flagging Jan. 6 Panel

And CNN reports  US Capitol Police says shooting of January 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt was 'lawful' and at Da Wire, Cop Who Shot Ashli Babbitt Acted ‘Lawfully,’ ‘Saved Members From Possible Death,’ Capitol Police Says. 'Tyler' at Zero Hedge notices Jonathon Turley on Ashli, "No Further Action Will Be Taken": Officer Who Fatally Shot Ashli Babbitt Cleared Of Any Wrongdoing By Capitol Police

There is little media coverage of the obvious disconnect in the handling of this shooting and other uses of force against protesters in recent riots. Even law professors are largely silent on the implications of a finding that the shooting of an unarmed protester is justified. Babbitt seems to be treated as “fair game” because she was part of the January 6th riot.

Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.23.21, The Geller Report, DOJ Shuts Down Investigation Of Capitol Police Cold-Blooded Murder Of Ashli Babbitt and Victory Girls, Capitol Police Decide Their Officer’s Murder Of Ashli Babbitt Was Lawful, Insty, SO WAS ANNE FRANK’S KILLING: Capitol Police: Ashli Babbitt Shooting Was Lawful. . . . "Doesn’t make either right. " I agree, we give, or at least used to give police a lot of latitude in their decision about shooting someone. We should extend the same skepticism to the Capitol Killer until it's been thoroughly examined, which it hasn't. But it still doesn't make it right

BBC happy that Proud Boys leader sentenced for burning stolen Black Lives Matter flag. PM, Proud Boys leader sentenced to five months behind bars in DC jail. It's not so much burning it as stealing it to burn, which is a no-no everywhere. On the other hand, crimes like that are widely overlooked in other Democratic strongholds. e.g. Vicky Taft points out, Portland Cops Announce They'll Sit Out Planned Antifa Assault on 'Pro-Freedom March' ... and Then a Gunfight Breaks Out. Apparently, Antifa is allowed to shoot at anti-Antifa protestors, who are not permitted to shoot back.

Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.23.21, The Geller Report reports Court Rules AZ Senate Must Release Election Audit Records. I'M good with that. From CTH sundance reports Arizona Maricopa County Ballot Audit Report Delayed, Pending State Senate Review. Some WuFlu being passed around in the audit team. Our friend 'Tyler Durnden' at Zero Hedge again, Arizona Dems Panic Over Upcoming Election Audit Results, Issue Preemptive Rebuttal. Maybe they don't have Chinese Crud, and are just keeping everyone in suspense. Since the voting machines were handled by Democrat leaning vote managers, I think we can safely assume they were monkied with, given their cries that the machinery can never be used again after the audit.

Even Stacey Abrams Board Member admits  Mail-in Ballots Most Vulnerable to Voter Fraud (HE). But that was in 2007. Now they're clean as a whistle, and in fact, a civil right! Breitbart, California Recall Madness: Police Arrest Man in Car with 300 Unopened Ballots, Gun, and Drugs, Independent Chronicle, California police find hundreds of recall ballots, guns and drugs inside sleeping mans car, but I'm sure there's a perfectly innocent explanation.

Best Election Mark Zuckerberg could buy! Tudor Dixon at Am Great details Zuckerbucks in Michigan Went to Democratic ‘Nonprofits’. 

In Michigan these “Zuckerbucks”, $12 million to be exact, went to the Michigan Center for Election Law and Administration (MCELA), a supposedly nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded by Benson.

Shortly after receiving the massive grant, MCELA gave 99 percent of it—or nearly $11.9 million—to two political consulting firms that work exclusively for Democrats under the guise of “educating voters.” It is illegal for a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to engage in partisan political activity. Did these firms educate all voters or just the ones they wanted to turn out for Joe Biden? We don’t know. Once the money flowed through the nonprofit to the consulting firms, it became untraceable.

Can we put him in jail yet?
