US Justice Department expresses 'concerns' over the GOP's Arizona election audit being conducted by Cyber Ninjas

The US Department of Justice has reviewed details that "raise concerns" about the integrity of the Republican-led audit in Maricopa County, telling the president of Arizona's state senate that the effort may violate federal law.

The audit, taking place at a sports arena in Phoenix, is being conducted by a private firm, Cyber Ninjas, that has no experience in elections and is led by a man who promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. The firm was chosen to lead the effort by state Sen. Karen Fann, over the objections of Maricopa County's local Republican officials — and after two audits were already conducted last year.

President Joe Biden won the county by more than 45,000 votes.

In a May 5 letter to Sen. Fann, obtained by local news station KNXV's Garrett Archer, the Department of Justice's Pamela S. Karlan, principal deputy assistant attorney general with the Civil Rights Division, said Cyber Ninjas' involvement may be illegal.

"Federal law creates a duty to safeguard and preserve federal election records," Karlan wrote. The department is concerned that this is not happening in Maricopa County, where the records "are no longer under the ultimate control of elections officials, are not being adequately safeguarded by contractors, and are at risk of damage or loss."

Part of this is to spoil the fraud outcome as being tainted; other part is to get involved as rumors swirl the justice department will do just that.

Democrat Party filed lawsuits to stop the audit. Now the Democrat Party is poised to unleash the fell powers of corrupt Federal agencies against those struggling to find the truth about this 2020 election.

The Democrat Party seems mighty desperate to stop the truth from coming out.

[Thommas]

Start the spin now so that when the results show massive fraud, the Dems can scream, “It’s Tainted (and racist.)”

Are the courts afraid they may be found complicit in the unconstitutional election????

[SeekAndFind]

How is this the DOJ’s business? Aren’t the way elections are conducted STATE issues? It’s in the constitution.

How is this Constitutional? Is like the the Mafia asking to be involved in their own investigation.

Anyone with principal deputy assistant anything in their federal position title is a gofer who rose to gofering by gofering and doesn't care that she is known to suck up and gofer. That she is "principal" just means there are a whole lot of them and the only thing you could tell when COVID shut them down and sent them home is that thing became blessedly quiet.

It may be time for the AZ militia to ensure the integrity of the audit by all necessary means necessary. There, I said that nice.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Arizona really should have voted for the MLK holiday-lol.

....Aren’t the way elections are conducted STATE issues?....

No part of the US feral government is not a weapon of the Democrats.

It’s all rotten.

You’d think they’d be more subtle. Just shrug it off and use a press campaign to ridicule and discredit it, which is one of their usual tactics.

But the fact that they’re this desperate makes it pretty clear that they know there was fraud and in fact massive fraud, possibly even enough to reverse the election in AZ, and they’re seriously worried.

[laconic]

Who appoints the head of the Justice Dept? One Joseph Biden, occupier of the White House. Who has the interest in shutting down an audit which could show he stole the election? One Josef Biden, in whose cabinet sits one Merrick Garland, head of this complaining Justice Dept. Kind of like the fox guarding the chicken coop, isn’t it? I’m waiting for Cheney’s daughter, McCain’s daughter, the Bush family and the other “republican” useful idiots of the Left to join in to criticize the Arizona audit.

What about the other private companies that have been involved in Maricopa County audits... Pro V&V, SLI Compliance, CyFIR LLC, Digital Discovery and Wake Technology Services Inc.? Are they illegal too? Or is this just because Doug Logan CEO of Cyber Ninjas posted election fraud opinions on twitter?
