Dear John, This week, Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis filed a historic and breathtaking racketeering indictment of Donald Trump and eighteen co-conspirators. Included in the vast, multifaceted criminal conspiracy is a brazenly corrupt plan to take copies of voting system software from Coffee County. For more than a year, we at Free Speech For People have been working to help expose this crime, and while it’s extremely gratifying to see this included in the Fulton County indictment, our work continues. District Attorney Willis cites the crimes of computer trespass, computer theft, and computer privacy invasion as elements of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) case, as part of the foundation for the indictment, but this unlawful plot has been noticeably absent from other state or federal investigations. If you’ve been following our work at Free Speech For People, this audacious plot in Coffee County is not news; we’ve been working hard to shed light on voting system software theft and to demand an investigation from the federal government. As you may recall, the voting system breach was not uncovered by the Georgia Secretary of State, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, or any other law enforcement authority. It was uncovered by our allies at the Coalition for Good Governance (CGG), through CGG’s long-standing lawsuit aimed at ensuring all Georgia voters have access to secure, trustworthy paper ballot voting systems. (CGG’s suit was filed in 2017 and does not allege any election was incorrectly decided. Free Speech For People as an organization is not a party, counsel, or amicus in the suit, but I am a consulting expert to the CGG plaintiffs.) Through diligent discovery and depositions, and despite denials from Georgia’s Secretary of State, CGG persisted and unearthed the evidence of the Coffee County breach. Serving as a consulting expert to CGG in the case, I was privileged to work alongside CGG and its co-plaintiffs as they uncovered the shocking and audacious details of the Coffee County voting system breaches - including that they were directed and funded by Trump’s attorneys, and that Coffee was just part of a much larger, multi-state plan to take voting software. Committed to shedding sunlight on these developments, FSFP hosted a press briefing with CGG on the Coffee County breach in September 2022. You can view it here. As we continued to work, it became apparent that there was no federal investigation into the voting system breach in Coffee County. Free Speech For People determined that we must urge a federal investigation, so we wrote a letter to the Department of Justice, Special Counsel, and Department of Homeland Security detailing all of the evidence, and organized a coalition of election security experts to join our call. We also studied the transcripts published by the January 6th Committee and uncovered testimony that showed that Trump himself was included in discussions about the unlawful plan to access voting software, and again sent this information to the Department of Justice and Special Counsel. With this and other information developing, we held another briefing with CGG, digging even deeper into the connections between the software heist in Coffee County, and Trump and his allies. You can view it here. As it became more and more likely that DA Willis would include the Coffee County breach in her investigation of Trump and his allies’ case, we put together a detailed briefing memo with links to discovery and deposition transcripts obtained by CGG that lays out the connections between the voting system breaches in Georgia and Michigan and Donald Trump. You can view it here. Over the past year, we’ve worked hard with our friends at CGG to get this evidence out so that DA Willis and law enforcement would have it, but there is still much more to do. We still have no evidence that the federal government is investigating the multistate plot to take voting software. A federal investigation is crucial to understanding the full scope of this scheme, to understand what threats this criminal enterprise poses to future elections, and to protect the integrity of elections going forward. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations is still slow-walking the investigation and has not held anyone accountable. And the Georgia Secretary of State is still downplaying and dismissing the significance of the software theft. We won’t stop working on this crucial issue until it's adequately addressed. Thank you for your support for this work. In solidarity, Susan Greenhalgh
