I will be as generous in explanation as brutal honesty permits. This is hopefully the last I will write about the internecine network of California GOPe manipulative politics and the latest episode of republican fraud within in.
Fibber Mike Davis (below left) gave an interview {Rumble Segment Here} which now provides some clarity on his character and the issues of his defense of Harmeet Dhillon (below right), in an effort to protect her from the outcome of Dhillon’s own creation. Within the interview Davis notes that in addition to her RNC and California GOP professional relationships, Dhillon also represents the Trump campaign as a lawyer.
Within the interview we discover who and why Davis was protecting when he made claims about the Trump campaign seemingly being okay with a California GOP scheme to allocate proportional delegates to Ron DeSantis. In essence, the “Trump campaign official” who didn’t raise objections to the CA rule change, the one Mike Davis was protecting from scrutiny, was actually Harmeet Dhillon herself. The same Harmeet who signed off on the 6/17/23 email proposal, then reversed after sunlight.
Mr. Davis also admits he and Mrs. Dhillon have a professional working relationship with the Article III Project organization that forms the basis of Mr. Davis’ affluence and influence. Davis and Dhillon swim in, and benefit from, the same financial ocean. Here’s the result:
Within Harmeet Dhillon’s lengthy explanation of her backtracking [SEE HERE], in the second segment {SEE HERE} she uses carefully constructed lawyer speak to highlight that she was duped by the other two California GOP officials, Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel. Mrs. Dhillon will not and cannot say she was lied to, for two reasons.
Mrs. Dhillon carefully says, “I was told by the state party” and “I accepted these representations” in the customary way a lawyer would obfuscate their choice not to say I was lied to. Indeed, against the inaccuracy of the original justifications by Dhillon, and if we are to take Mrs. Dhillon at her word, she says in her reversal of position that she was misled and mistaken in her opinion by materially false representations of Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel.
Unfortunately, Harmeet Dhillon cannot be more deliberate in her statement because she has a professional role to maintain, and the admission that she was duped is against her brand image.
Harmeet Dhillon represents herself to her clients and her audience as the counterbalance to manipulation in elections and politics. If Dhillon were to admit she was a victim to manipulation in California election rules and politics, her brand would suffer significant harm.
Given that Mrs Dhillon is supposed to be a subject matter expert in the world of political rules and specifically RNC constructs, she cannot be viewed as incompetent to the rules and constructs she is expected to comprehensively understand.
As a result, Harmeet needs to carefully extract herself from a situation that shows her inept ability, yet simultaneously admit the original position she took was wrong.
Navigating a professional path between duplicity and incompetence is always challenging. Making matters worse, Dhillon is being paid by the Trump campaign specifically for legal expertise navigating rules and regulations of GOP primary electoral politics.
Despite the wide grin on the face of Marc Elias, getting the rules wrong in Harmeet’s own backyard is not a good look and not funny. Everything that followed Dhillon’s original really bad GOP rule justification is an exhibition in professional face-saving. However, this is not the first time Harmeet Dhillon has fallen back on the “I accepted these representations” excuse.
When Dhillon was originally challenged on the 2022 partnership with notoriously corrupt and conniving Henry Barbour in Mississippi, Mrs. Dhillon also defended and justified her lack of knowledge about the Barbour background by saying she was assigned the role to work with Barbour by the RNC (Ronna McDaniel).
It’s never Dhillon’s fault. Her lack of knowledge or skill within the job of her self-proclaimed political and electoral expertise is always the fault of others. 🙄 Just ask Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson or a host of other incompetence justifiers within the world of political interest. Perhaps even ask voices within the orbit of President Trump himself and you will find a multitude of high praise statements and cover stories.
This is where Lisa Monaco, Marc Elias, Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen and Barry Berke start laughing uncontrollably.
This is also why Steve Bannon’s frequent WarRoom guest, Attorney Mike Davis, stepped in so quickly after the Laura Loomer revelations began to get traction and sunlight. Davis continued to say the proportional rule change was not objected to by the Trump campaign; yet, Davis would not say who in the campaign was seemingly aware of the CA GOP rule change and was okay with it.
The “Trump campaign official” who didn’t raise objections to the CA rule change, the one Mike Davis was protecting from scrutiny, was actually Harmeet Dhillon herself.
After all, as noted by Mike Davis, Mrs. Dhillon is an attorney for the Trump campaign, and the leaked email containing the position of Harmeet Dhillon, Jessica Patterson and Shawn Steel -from three weeks ago- was against the interests of President Trump. Surely, if the rule change was an issue, the attorney for the Trump campaign would not support it.
It is much easier to protect incompetence by saying “go fuck yourself” to questioning, than to admit a person with a close business relationship has just made a very big mistake. {DIRECT RUMBLE LINK}
.
President Trump should recognize the value in what Ms Laura Loomer has just provided. Loomer likely saved the Trump campaign from something a thousand times more costly than the monthly billing cycle of Dhillon Law Firm. And Loomer did it all free of charge – because it was the right thing to do.
Consider me done with this episode, unless the critics want to continue engagement.

i’m waiting to make a judgment.
Sundance has opened fire on our own position. This is not helpful.
This has been a subject of an ongoing debate on Twitter, and with Sundance taking on a lot of folks who are presumably on our side. If he is right our cause is lost. I don’t know what his cause is.
Harmeet Dhillon and Mike Davis are liars.
Both are trying to rig the CA GOP Delegate Rule Changes.
Kevin McCarthy is probably involved behind the scenes.
Looks like a case of Harmeet wearing too many hats.
HUh. Sundance has exposed corruption, lies and actions designed to thwart the will of the California electorate. Sounds good to me. Without sunlight there is no disinfection.
The problem in this case is “is it” e.g. evidence of corruption or is he just mistaken.
I think that wearing two hats, taking money from both and pushing a process that damages one, lying to disguise that no one in the Trump campaign actually knew, is corruption. There is no doubt that the above was done.
Note the quick reversal after sunlight was applied.
Can’t understand any of this. I thought Harmeet was a “Good Guy”. Too much inside baseball for me to begin to understand. Translation anyone?
Yeah there’s something wrong with this picture - Mike Davis is a straight shooter too, as far as I know. When I see him on War Room he seems tough as nails.
We all know that politicians are, notoriously, untrustworthy. But when it comes to treachery among allies, the erosion of trust is much more damaging. The moment Harmeet Dhillon turned on Ronna McDaniel (like a snake-in-the-grass) in her bid for RNC Chair, I was certain that she could not be trusted whatsoever. And, Mike Davis’ defense of Harmeet in the face of her support of something potentially damaging to President Trump tells me all I need to know.
I am not sure corruption is a fair word. There are processes to change our by laws. They are being implemented.
Any by law change will need to be approved by the delegates at the state convention, right? (I am one). If we don’t like the rule change we can turn it down.
If there is corruption, it might be more in the area of misrepresenting the reason for the proposed rule change. If we are being told it is necessary to confirm to some higher up law or edict, and it is in fact just an attempt to weaken the Trump campaign, well then, we are being lied to.
But it is not corrupt, in and of itself, to lawfully attempt a bylaw change.
This is a party issue, not a state legal issue as I understand it.
As it is sundance has taken him off the worth-reading list. There is too much else to pay attention to that is well written that I don't have time for this kind of drivel.
I will be as generous in explanation as brutal honesty permits.... Fibber Mike Davis gave an interview...
That's too many words right there not stating a position or getting to a point. Mike Davis has done too much good service for us in working through the confirmations of the SC justices who are presently saving our bacon for that kind of opening attack to work.
It's like "loving father Joe Biden" ... You just lost your audience at that point and anything that follows is so presumptively drivel that you are excused from the normal duty of reading it.
Just wow! The good honest hardworking lifted herself by her own bootstraps Ronna should not have to endure this sort of treachery as having someone oppose her reelect to the RNC chair after all the good works....
