Appearing for an interview on NewsMaxTV Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn provides his unique perspective toward the ongoing election lawsuits and re-count efforts.  From the outlook of General Flynn he sees this election outcome as a national security issue.

“Everybody needs to slow down and be patient” … “This is bigger than President Donald Trump or Vice-President Joe Biden” … “We must get this process right, or we are not going to have a country.”

Trump campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani appears on NewsMax TV to outline the current state of multiple lawsuits being filed against states who illegally manipulated ballot counting procedures during the overnight hours on election night.

The common thread between 10 regional locations was the processing of mail-in ballots without allowing any republican poll watcher to observe.  In addition to Pennsylvania, a pattern emerges within Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.  Within those states there are specific areas where the sketchy ballots were assembled and counted.

Obviously the White House message is solidifying within current administration officials.  This election controversy is quite likely to become very ugly; not only because there is transparent fraud surfacing by the hour, but also because 71 million+ verifiable Americans voted for President Trump.  The reality of that vote is stunning.  The scale of fraud needed to overcome that monster vote is the problem for those who carried out the scheme.

Subtract the fraudulent and manipulated ‘mail-in’ ballots from the Biden operation and you have a reality of 71.4 million MAGA army members staring toward an opposition front containing multiple battalions of cardboard cutouts. No amount of media spin is going to change the reality of that political landscape.

Regardless of the current dynamic inside the election challenge controversy this is a very interesting move by the White House.

Kash Patel is the National Security Council Aide who was the key person assisting House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes.

Patel knows all of the details and nuances within the overall ‘spygate’ saga on a very granular level.

WASHINGTON—President Trump has installed a National Security Council official and former congressional aide as chief of staff to new acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller as he continues to shake up the Pentagon’s top ranks in his final months in office, officials familiar with the matter said.

U.S. officials said that Kash Patel, a former Republican aide on Capitol Hill and a White House National Security Council staff member, has been named Mr. Miller’s chief of staff. (link)

Whether the move of Kash Patel to support acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller is based on an approach toward declassifying documents/evidence in the background of ‘spygate’; or whether Patel’s move might be associated with a larger election dynamic is an unknown;  the former seems most likely.  However, the Lawfare/Resistance opposition to the Trump administration is apoplectic with the just announced role of Patel.

After months of negotiations between the Senate and Andrew McCabe, the former Deputy FBI Director testifies today before the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of the Oversight of the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation.  Hearing ongoing…

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

UPDATE: Memo Added – The Associated Press is reporting on a memo (no citation, only description) that reportedly comes from U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and authorizes local USAO offices to investigate valid claims of voter fraud if presented for review.

While the appearance of a DOJ memo authorizing U.S. attorney’s to participate in election investigations is a good thing….

…Consider how many investigations has AG Barr authorized only to seemingly feed the accountability masses and keep the pitchforks at bay.

Associated Press – In a memo to U.S. attorneys, obtained by The Associated Press, Barr wrote that investigations “may be conducted if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State.”

He said any allegations that would “clearly not impact the outcome of a federal election” should be delayed until after those elections are certified and prosecutors should likely open so-called preliminary inquiries, which would allow investigators and prosecutors to see if there is evidence that would allow them to take further investigative measures.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell knows exactly what 71 million Trump supporters would do to his congressional power (business model) if they left the Republican and Democrat parties.

This is Decepticon Mitch at his finest.  This is how he stays in power:

Do not attribute anything extraordinary to this series of events.  Quite likely, they are disconnected and not what most of us would love to believe.

In no way should this be construed as fuel for the trusty plan community.  However, that said, it is interesting.

U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr meets with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell today.

There are no immediate reports on the intents or purposes of the meeting, and with all things Barr does the meeting provides multiple ways of looking at it.

If investigative findings were ever going to bring sunlight upon the corrupt machinations at the gateway to the swamp, the DOJ would eventually have to have a conversation with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell about the corrupt activity of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).   Is this that?  Likely no, but wishful thinking always puts that little element of hope into a series of events…

If the DOJ were ever going to go full wolverine on the schemes, lies, manipulations and known malfeasance of the body politic, who would be the most at risk in that scenario?

The answer is SSCI vice-chairman Mark Warner…. who just coincidentally sends out a statement today warning President Trump about firing ‘senate confirmed’ executive branch officers like Defense Secretary Mark Esper:
