Is Conyers disclosing everything he knows?
I'm just wondering if Conyers has been forthright in disclosing everything he knows about election fraud up to this point? Or, is he keeping a few aces up his sleeve? I watched some of the hearings on C-Span. While much of the testimony was made in public, there were others who came forward whom Conyers instructed to report privately with his staff. I don't know, I'm just hoping he knows something we don't.

1. I think it is quite probable that he isn't disclosing the juicy bits IMO.

Best not to disclose yor entire hand and eliminate the mandatory repuke spin before absolutely necessary. I suspect there are many things in the report sent to the Senators that we don't know.

3. I'd like to think he's hiding a smoking gun, but...
I'm not pinning any hopes on it. It sure would be beautiful to watch.

6. I personally think its a smoking flamethrower
I don't think that a person with as much experience as Conyers would attempt this huge an undertaking if he didn't think he was prepared to shatter most/all arguments from naysayers! Just MHO

12. He seemed AWFUL confident about election fraud occurring...
when he first spoke about his meeting and in reference to the evidence he had (Cliff Arnebeck).

I think he DOES have more than what we've been privy to. And I'm anxiously awaiting the report Mr. Pitt refers to.

13. I am also waiting for the report
I think we are going to be overwhelmed(pleasantly!) with info. I KNOW he wouldn't jump in without already knowing the answers. Like a good lawyer knows... never ask a question you don't already know the answer to.

5. Loose lips sink ships
Or so the saying goes... Conyers is a wise man. He knows when to holdem and he's not walking/running away from this. The repukes bluff has been called, and I'm sure Conyers has a royal-straight-flush.

8. Read Sun Tzu.
Absorb and apply. I assure you, Conyers has and is.

10. During what I saw of the hearings on C-Span & online...
whenever a witness offered sensitive information, Rep. Conyers would ask that they make arrangements for a private meeting with the judiciary panel.

That, along with the fact that Rep. Conyers said publicly that he expects to have "several senators" stand with him, indicates that his evidence is strong. (As far as I'm concerned, what I've seen online is evidence enough for Congress to nix the Ohio votes.)

14. No one risks his/her political reputation and career without some
really good evidence. I'm 100% certain that Conyers is keeping some things close to the vest. That is why I sleep pretty well at night. I know that Conyers won't come out with something half-assed.

Be patient. I know that it's hard! :)
