Is DOJ Going To Investigate Theft of Voting Machine Software

[gab13by13]

The DOJ hasn't made clear if it intends to investigate reported breaches where Trump allies allegedly copied sensitive information and software – and election experts are concerned the stolen data might be used to interfere with next year's presidential election, reported the Los Angeles Times.

“We’re never going to know what the overall plan here was,” said Susan Greenhalgh, senior advisor on election security for the nonprofit Free Speech For People. “Don’t we need to know that? We don’t know what this was all about, and it’s dangerous to guess or assume that, ‘Oh well, because President [Joe] Biden was inaugurated on [Jan. 20], this no longer poses a threat.’”

1. ethic and integrity ?

2. I'm sure it's one of the many investigations zipped-lip Garland is managing.

In the meantime, how many Cyber Ninja challenges will there be next election? Private entities granted access to our ballots & voting machines.

4. I sure fucking hope so the DOJ is investigating

6. Not just private entities,

a pro-Trump bogus company that had a mailbox for an office. Garland only wrote a stern letter. It was 2 citizen's groups that filed a FOIA request for Cyber Ninja documents and a judge agreed that the Cyber Ninjas needed to produce the documents, which they never did so the judge fined them 25 or 50k per day until they produced the documents. They never produced the documents nor paid the fine because they were a bogus company that was allowed access to sealed ballot boxes that were by law to have remained sealed for 22 weeks. Title 52.

3. If the FBI pursued this with same vigor they went after the Leftists of the 60's and 70's

they would have already infiltrated the rightie tighties and would be able to proceed with great vigor.

5. To be fair...

They probably have to be extra careful with the investigations when you have treasonous MAGATS within your ranks.

But, in general, I agree with the sentiment of your statement.

7. Apparently, Susan Greenhalgh already got her answer,

which your source failed to cite. You can get it too:

And an answer that your source did cite:

The FBI may not be certain whether copying that information is a violation of federal law, according to a former DOJ trial attorney in the civil rights division.

“You don’t want to bring a criminal case where your case is that ‘arguably’ the law applies,” said former DOJ attorney David Becker, now executive director and founder of the Center for Election Innovation & Research. “You want to get a conviction, especially in a case like this. If I were a prosecutor in a case involving this kind of election denial, I want to be damn sure I’m gonna get a conviction, because an acquittal might be used to further the disinformation machine.”

8. The answer was that the FBI won't investigate

until it gets a request from local law enforcement. Thanks for the update. If local law enforcement was complicit I doubt that the FBI is going to get a call.

Good job digging this up.

[Beastly Boy]

9. Yep. Unless local investigators ask them to.

These are the rules. And FBI rarely breaks rules at the request of public advocates.

11. That's what I thought,

the FBI doesn't need an invitation when federal laws also apply. Someone needs to take a hard look at the FBI starting with Christopher Wray. The House's investigation of the FBI is pure projection/gaslighting.

12. Seems like that would be a state investigation, at least initially

I’m thinking of AZ in particular.

If there was a coordinated conspiracy to steal or alter voting software across state lines, then it would become a federal case. We know that was the case with the fraudulent electors, but I’m not sure in regards to software- I’m most familiar with the events in AZ and, I think, WI, which, IIRC, were committed by unrelated persons/groups.
