Judicial Watch Is Tracking the Massive Election Fraud

[[link removed]]

If you want to effectively express your beliefs about this
deliberately chaotic election, I urge you to contact your
representatives in your state legislature and Congress. Especially if
you live in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and
Arizona – cesspools of fraud and lawlessness all.

I described what we’re witnessing in an interview
[[link removed]]
with
Stephanie Hamill on One America News Network:

Americans see an election that’s been questioned because of
substantial allegations of maladministration of the election –
that’s a charitable interpretation of it. And they know there’s an
air of violence and censorship and suppression if they dare raise
questions about it or support the president. We who are defending the
rule of law are being lectured about the peaceful transfer of power by
the likes of President Obama, who during his transition was actually
conspiring against President Trump and spying on his team illicitly.

In her Newsmax television show _Sovereign Nation_, Michelle Malkin
complimented Judicial Watch for our work on elections and suggested
that we have earned the right to say, “I told you so.” I take no
comfort in that because we have unprecedented fraud occurring across
the country.

Michelle asked me what Judicial Watch doing about it. My response

Our litigators and investigators are figuring out where we can make a
stand to preserve the lawful election result. U.S. Code designates
this past Tuesday as Election Day. That’s when we’re supposed to
select the president. Any votes being counted that arrive after that
day should be subject to challenge. And any vote counting that occurs
after Election Day should be subject to challenge. When you have a
pause in counting, that indicates that fraud has taken place.

This is what I said
[[link removed]]
to my
Twitter followers about our activity:

Americans should demand courts and state legislatures and Congress
protect free and fair elections! Judicial Watch is conducting
independent investigations in PA, GA, AZ, NV, MI, WI!

We don’t know how all of this will play out. The election may well
end up in Congress, as I explain in this video
[[link removed]


The electors vote as part of the Electoral College process in the
middle of December. Then on January 6, the new Congress is supposed to
meet and count the votes and essentially confirm and ratify the
Electoral College selection of the president and vice president. Now,
if there’s a challenge, you could get a situation where the House,
for instance, wants to bless the Biden electors out of Pennsylvania
and the Senate wants to reject them. Frankly, I’m not sure what
happens next.

We have observed and researched and litigated elections for decades,
and, as you might imagine, we are following this one extremely
closely. We will be deploying our weapon of choice, the Freedom of
Information Act, to uncover the truth.

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES SEVEN FEDERAL AGENCIES FOR FLYNN UNMASKING RECORDS

It is incredible to hear Barack Obama’s minions criticize President
Trump’s attitude toward a “transition” to Joe Biden, given that
Obama and his lieutenants were busy spying on Trump when he entered
the White House.

One of the tools they used was “unmasking,” i.e., revealing the
identity of someone in a conversation monitored by our intelligence
agencies abroad. We’re going to find out more about this conspiracy.

We have filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the
CIA, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Department of
Justice, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI),
the State Department, and the Department of the Treasury for records
of former Obama Administration officials requesting to unmask
Lieutenant General (Retired) Michael Flynn (_Judicial Watch v. Central
Intelligence Agency et al._
[[link removed]
_(No.
1:20-cv-03314)). The suit was filed on November 16, 2020.

We sued after all of these agencies failed to respond to FOIA requests
sent on September 1, 2020. Additionally, the Treasury Department
failed to respond to a FOIA request served on September 2, 2020.

The FOIA requests ask for unmasking requests made by the following
officials:

* CIA: John Brennan - December 14 and 15, 2016
* Defense Intelligence Agency: Deputy Assistant Director: National
Media Exploitation Center - December 15, 2016
* Department of Energy: Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall - December 15,
2016
* FBI: James Comey - December 15, 2016
* ODNI: James Clapper - December 2, 2016 to January 7, 2017, Michael
Dempsy - January 7, 2017, Stephanie O’Sullivan - January 7, 2017
* State Department: Kelly Degnan - December 6, 2016, John R.
Phillips - Dec. 6, 2016, John Christenson - December 15, 2016, Douglas
Lute - December 15, 2016, Lee Litzenberger - December 15, 2016, Tamir
Waser - December 15, 2016
* Treasury: Jacob Lew - December 14 and15, 2016, Mike Neufeld -
December 14, 2016, Arthur McGlynn - December 14, 2016, Nathan Sheets -
December 14, 2016, Adam Szubin - December 14, 2016, Sarah Raskin -
December 14, 2016, Patrick Conlon – December 14, 2016

The names of officials and dates identified in the FOIA requests were
taken directly from a list declassified on May 8, 2020, by then-Acting
Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell and submitted to
Senators Charles Grassley and Ron Johnson on May 13.

These are not our first efforts to uncover Obama unmasking.

In October 2020 we sued
[[link removed]]
the
National Security Agency (NSA) for records of requests by former Vice
President Joe Biden and other top Obama administration officials,
including President Obama’s chief of staff, to “unmask” Flynn.

And in June 2020 we sued
[[link removed]]
the
State Department for records of requests by former U.N. Ambassador
Samantha Power to “unmask” Flynn.

The unmasking requests during the Obama-Trump transition by
high-ranking Obama officials reek of sedition. President Trump should
order a full-court transparency press to expose more of the truth
about this terrible corruption.

ISIS TERRORIST RELEASED BY FEDS AFTER GRAND JURY INDICTMENT

Nowadays, even a terrorism-related charge may not keep you in jail –
as reported
[[link removed]]
in
our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog.

An ISIS terrorist indicted by a federal grand jury for providing
material support to the militant Islamist group has been released by
federal authorities in Oregon. Even for the famously liberal west
coast, it may seem unbelievable, especially since a Republican
appointee heads the Department of Justice (DOJ), the agency that made
the bizarre decision.

The defendant is Hawazen Sameer Mothafar, a 31-year-old U.S. resident
charged with two counts of conspiracy to provide material support to a
designated terrorist organization and one count of providing and
attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign
terrorist organization, in violation of Title 18, United States Code,
Section 2339B(a)(1). Mothafar has also been charged with making false
statements—denying his terrorist ties—in an immigration
application and one count of false statement to a government agency.

Since 2015 up until his arrest just days ago Mothafar conspired with
ISIS, according to the nine-page indictment
[[link removed]]
issued
this month. He produced and distributed ISIS propaganda and recruiting
materials created and edited in coordination with the terrorist
group’s official media operatives overseas. This includes the
production, editing, and distribution of many publications and
articles in a pro-ISIS online media organization. Among his writings
is a piece titled “Effective Stabbing Techniques,” which provides
detailed guidance on the best way to kill and maim a target during a
knife attack. Mothafar also published a tutorial in an Arabic
publication titled “How Does a Detonator Work,” that explains in
detail the use of explosive ignition devices. The same issue of the
Arabic edition includes info graphics containing a picture of the
Eiffel Tower in Paris and Statute of Liberty in New York on fire with
a caption indicating that they will soon be attacked. Another one of
Mothafar’s propagandas encourages readers to carry out attacks in
their home countries if traveling overseas to fight is not possible.

Most of Mothafar’s work has appeared in a terrorist online media
conglomerate known as Al Dura’a al Sunni or Sunni Shield that
circulates pro-ISIS propaganda in writing, via videos and graphics.
Mothafar also moderated private chat groups for the jihadist media
outlet and had regular contact with ISIS leaders overseas, according
to federal prosecutors. Evidently, he served as the tech
troubleshooter, providing high-level jihadists with technical support
that includes opening social media and electronic mail accounts for
official use. A senior ISIS official in custody in Iraq told
investigators that it was Mothafar’s job to provide ISIS “new
accounts when we needed new accounts as soon as possible,” the
indictment states. In December 2019, Mothafar tried to acquire
information involving piloting a drone carrying an object for Saleck
Ould Cheikh Mohamedou, an Islamic extremist convicted for trying to
assassinate Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, the former president of the
northwest African nation of Mauritania. Mohamedou is currently
incarcerated there for the failed attempt.

While Mothafar was busy furthering terrorist missions in his adopted
land, he repeatedly lied in U.S. immigration documents and to federal
officials by denying ties to terrorist organizations. “This
defendant is a legal permanent resident of the United States who
abandoned the country that took him in and instead pledged allegiance
to ISIS and repeatedly and diligently promoted its violent
objectives,” said Oregon’s top federal prosecutor, Billy J.
Williams, in a statement
[[link removed]]
released
by the agency. “Our national security prosecutors and law
enforcement partners will continue to ensure that those who threaten
our country are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” The
special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
in Oregon said Mothafar was a leading figure in the Islamic State’s
media network who tried to incite “lone actor” operators globally.
“When it comes to cases like this one, a computer and a keyboard can
be powerful weapons against enemies of the Islamic State,” the
special agent, Renn Cannon, added.

Mothafar pleaded not guilty during a recent court hearing and is
scheduled to be tried early next year. Federal authorities released
him to his home in Troutdale, a town of about 16,000 on the eastern
edge of Portland, pending trial with restrictions on travel and use of
electronic devices. They should have kept him in custody considering
the severity of the charges. They did not because he “has physical
disabilities and is confined to a wheelchair
[[link removed]
according to the DOJ, so the government did not seek detention.

Until next week…
