MI AG Dana Nessel Appears To Have LIED About Who Owned the Semi-Automatic Rifles With Suppressors Found In Raid of Dem-Funded GBI Strategies Voter Registration Headquarters
Gateway Pundit ^ | JULY 30, 2024 | Patty McMurray

MI AG Dana Nessel appears to have lied about the owner of 4 semi-automatic rifles with suppressors and modified pistols that were found stored in a Pelican case during a raid of the Democrat-funded GBI Strategies headquarters in Southfield, MI.

On October 16, 2020, the Muskegon Police Department was called to the Muskegon City Clerk’s office to investigate what appeared to be a mass voter registration fraud effort targeting urban communities across the state of Michigan. Between 8,000-10,000 voter registrations (many of which, according to the police reports, were fake) were being mailed from a hotel in Auburn Hills, MI. and from the GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan headquarters in Southfield, MI to the Muskegon Clerk’s office.

Later in our investigation, we discovered that clerks across the state of MI were receiving similar packages from GBI Strategies.

According to publicly available information, Muskegon Clerk Ann Meisch appears to have been the only clerk to have reported the bogus voter registrations. When the scheme was uncovered, only one month before the hotly contested 2020 election, MI SOS Jocelyn Benson (D) and MI AG Dana Nessel (D), kept the large scale voter fraud investigation a secret from the public and even worse, they never told MI clerks to be on the lookout for fake registrations that if successfully added to the MI voter rolls, could shift the outcome of the election.

The MSP (Michigan State Police Department) began investigating the crime scene shortly after the hero Muskegon City Clerk Ann Meisch alerted the Muskegon Police Department that she discovered between 8,000 and 10,000 voter registrations that were sent via mail in a package with The Staybridge Hotel in Auburn Hills (on the other side of the state from Muskegon) and the initials "EM" (which was later determined to an abbreviation for Empower Michigan). The image below is a screenshot of a post by Ann Meisch on a private MI Clerks Facebook page that we were given access to by a whistleblower.

Election integrity expert Phil O'Halloran gave the MSP report to Patty McMurray of the Gateway Pundit. The investigation revealed that "EM" is actually Empower Michigan, a name used by GBI Strategies while operating in the state of Michigan.

The MSP report also identified two political candidates who paid GBI Strategies for their work in Michigan. Curiously, the campaigns of Democrat Senator Gary Peters and then-presidential candidate Joe Biden each paid GBI Strategies exactly the same amount—-$242,133 each for their work.

The investigation reveals that law enforcement was focused on GBI Strategies, its employees, and its founder, Gary Bell. Additionally, the report lays out the potential charges of the crime of "Election Fraud Forgery" (remember, according to the GBI Strategies supervisor, she admitted to turning in over 1,000 fraudulent voter registrations herself). According to the MSP report, investigators are also trying to examine "who may be criminally liable" and who, exactly, "profited from the fraud"?

Brianna Hawkins, a compliance officer for GBI Strategies, was identified in the MSP report as the individual who dropped off over 2500 voter registrations in person at the Muskegon Clerks office.

Hawkins told AG Investigator Morse she was working out of the GBI Strategies headquarters in Southfield, MI, before she was sent to the Muskegon office when GBI Strategies management discovered that the clerk had reported their massive dump of false registrations to law enforcement.

Watch Ms. Hawkins tell MI AG investigator Stephen Morse that over 1,000 false registrations were turned in to the Muskegon clerk by GBI Strategies:

GBI Strategies Employee Tells MI AG Investigator She ID’d Over 1K False Voter Registrations

In one of the video clips, MI AG Investigator Morse told Ms. Hawkins that she had broken the law when she turned in fraudulent voter registrations, yet MI AG Dana Nessel never charged her with any crimes---why? As a matter of fact, why has no one been charged with a crime related to false registration scandal?

In yet another clip from her interview with the MI AG investigator, Ms. Hawkins explains how canvassers are given 20 voter registration forms each and are tasked with getting them filled out. If the registrations come back with missing information, they are scanned into the GBI Strategies computers and set aside in a different pile.

Ms. Hawkins, who was charged with combing through the new voter registrations, was never asked to make sure the registrants were legitimate; she was only asked to make sure the form was completed and signed. When asked about cities in Michigan where GBI Strategies/Empower MI was operating, Ms. Hawkins said she was "pretty sure" fake registrations were being turned into clerks in other cities where GBI/Empower MI was operating.

GBI Strategies Employee Explains How Fraudulent Voter Registrations Are Likely Being Sent From All of Their Locations In our original article on the GBI Strategies investigation dated August 8, 2023, we reported about a Pelican case filled with 4 semi-automatic rifles with suppressors and modified pistols that were found inside the GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan headquarters.

Unfortunately, because the portion of the Michigan State Police report that named the owner of the guns was redacted, we were unable to determine who was responsible for leaving the guns in the GBI Strategies headquarters with the employees and a whiteboard above the guns with a note under "Hot Topics" that read, "weapons in the field, prepared for shifts."

Shortly after we released our report, we discovered a response to the media by MI AG Dana Nessel that addressed the Gateway Pundit's bombshell reporting on GBI Strategies that was not surprisingly taken over by the FBI where the investigation appears to have gone to die.

Here's a close-up screenshot of the paragraph where Dana Nessel falsely claims, "The guns were legally owned and incidentally stored by the landlord irrelevant to the business."

Thanks to independent investigator Yehuda Miller, Patty McMurray was given another MSP report filled with additional information on the GBI Strategies investigation, including the name of the person who owned the guns that were found during the MSP raid of the Southfield, MI headquarters.

The police report states that GBI Strategies owner Gary Bell was in Iowa when the raid of the GBI headquarters took place. He was on a Zoom call with his office manager, Menotte, when the raid was taking place.

The police report states that the officer on the scene overheard Gary Bell telling Menotte that "she needed to make sure she declared the personal items he left behind before leaving the state. It should be noted it was later found that he was referring to multiple firearms and ammunition within one of their suites."

Craig Mauger, the political "reporter" for one of Michigan's top propaganda publications, The Detroit News, ignored the bombshell investigation The Gateway Pundit shared with the public.

Instead of doing his job and investigating what appears to be the best evidence of mass voter fraud in America during the 2020 election cycle, he instead built a response to our story around a press release by MI AG Dana Nessel to the media, which attempted to discredit our reporting.

Here is an expert from the Detroit News article written by Craig Mauger in response to our GBI Strategies/Empower Michigan investigative piece that outlines how the Democrats funded an organization that used burner phones to communicate with their workers, untraceable pre-paid cards to pay their workers and of course, the semi-automatic rifles with suppressors and modified pistols that were left behind in the GBI Strategies headquarters by the owner, Gary Bell:

In October 2020, the Michigan State Police first publicly revealed it was examining "irregularities in voter registration forms" in Muskegon.

The investigation of potential election fraud forgery included a search warrant being executed at a Southfield location of GBI Strategies in October 2020, Wimmer said.

Gateway Pundit and other conservative websites have highlighted that "bags of pre-paid gift cards, guns with silencers (and) burner phones" were found during the search.

But substantiating evidence of a crime wasn't found during the search, Wimmer said.

"Detected in this search were pay cards, pre-pay style cell phones and voter registration forms, all determined to be normal operational devices in GBI Strategies’ line of work," Wimmer said. "Also found during the search were several firearms, which prompted a response from federal agents of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.

"All detected firearms were determined by federal authorities to be legally owned and incidentally stored in the location by an employee irrelevant to the business purposes of GBI Strategies. None of the materials seized resulted in furthering evidence of voter fraud."

"by an employee irrelevant to the business purposes of GBI Strategies?" Since when is an owner of business referred to as "an employee irrelevant to the business"? Is Craig Mauger saying that the alleged owner of the Democrat-funded "canvassing" operation, who is under investigation after police discovered his employees had turned in at least an admitted thousand false voter registration applications to at least one MI city clerk, is irrelevant? Or is he just parroting what he was told by Michigan's dishonest attorney general Dana Nessel?

James Renner, a MI GOP elector who, along with 15 other electors, cast an alternate slate of electoral votes for President Trump in 2020, admitted in court that he still believes the 2020 election was stolen.

During his testimony, Mr. Renner cited the Muskegon mass voter registration fraud as an example of proven fraud. Mr. Renner, who was part of a plot by Michigan's Democrat attorney general to charge each of the electors with 8 felonies, agreed to share his testimony in return for immunity from prosecution in the Dana Nessel witch hunt case against them.

The Detroit News "reporter" Craig Mauger, who was seated in the courtroom at the time of his testimony, mocked Mr. Renner's concerns about the outcome of the election due in part to the mass voter registration investigation prior to the 2020 election in a tweet.

Ironically, the so-called "reporter," who wrote an article devoid of facts from the MSP report and instead was based almost solely on a statement he received from MI AG Dana Nessel's office on "the truth" about GBI Strategies, accused Mr. Renner of not providing any facts related to the Muskegon mass voter registration scandal.

Washington Post reporter Sarah Ellison also used Dana Nessel's response to our investigative piece to discredit our findings. Instead of reporting the facts as they are presented in the MSP report, Ellison chose to write a hit piece on The Gateway Pundit. The Gateway Pundit plans to demand a retraction from them.

Here is a small snippet of her FALSE hit (opinion) piece on The Gateway Pundit:

WaPo reporter: According to police reports, the Michigan attorney general’s office and an interview with Meisch, an employee of a voter registration drive company had submitted to the Muskegon city clerk thousands of voter registration applications weeks before the 2020 election, some with faked signatures and faulty addresses.

"Some" voter registrations "with faked signatures and faulty addresses?"

In the video above, GBI Strategies Compliance Officer Brianna Hawkins admits to turning in at least over 1,000 fraudulent voter registration applications to the Muskegon city clerk.

WaPo reporter: Meisch’s staff spent hundreds of hours weeding out the bad applications. The guns the police found were legally registered to a landlord who had nothing to do with the registration drive. The prepaid phones and cash cards were given to temporary employees to contact new voter prospects.

We now know the portion about "the guns the police found" being registered "to a landlord who had nothing to do with the registration drive" is a LIE!

With the exception of upper management, it appears that ALL employees who were given "prepaid phones and cash cards," were "temporary." Macy's and Best Buy hire temporary workers during the Christmas season, but they certainly don't pay them with non-traceable pre-paid cash cards or tell them to use burner phones while they're on the clock.

In the video below, GBI Strategies Compliance Officer Brianna Hawkins tells MI AG Investigator Stephen Morse that Gary Bell, the alleged owner of GBI Strategies, didn't seem to care that his company was caught turning in a mass number of false voter registrations.

Why didn't Gary Bell care? Did he know there would never be any charges against him or his employees? What kind of special protection did Mr. Bell have that other Americans don't?

GBI Strategies Worker Claims Gary Bell Didn’t Seem To Care When Police Discovered They Were Turning In False Registrations Why would Gary Bell not care if he or his employees got "caught" turning in thousands of fraudulent voter registrations in Michigan? Could it be that Gary Bell felt insulated by the top Democrats like MI SOS Jocelyn Benson, who's in charge of administering Michigan's elections, and Michigan's top law enforcement officer Dana Nessel?

Here is the most likely reason fraudulent voter registration schemes exist:

We all know what happens when fake voters are added to our voter rolls. Thanks to fake voter registrations, fake ballot applications can be sent to the names and addresses of fake voters who were illegally added to our voter rolls. Fake ballots are sent to illegitimate voters, where they are collected and filled in for unpopular candidates whom the media has just spent months lying about. And before you know it, the election is stolen, and voters are asked to accept shocking wins by unpopular candidates in races they had no chance of winning without the help of over-bloated voter rolls with fake registrations!

These people were part of the Democrats vote fraud machine.

They were paying people with street money to vote illegally during early voting at polls and via mail in ballots.

They were hitting the rough side of town because that is where the action is - very little oversight.

They carry big wads of street cash on the bad side of town to buy votes - hence the need for the suppressed short barrel rifles.

I saw pics of the tee shirts they were wearing and they were virtually identical to the tee shirts worn by ballot harvesters I witnessed as a poll watcher in my state .

Same color shirt, same color silk screened lettering of organization and GOTV slogans and same graphics layout of the lettering. Only difference was the actaul name of the front organization and the slogans they were using.

The shirts looked like they were even done by the same vendor.

I recalled a recent unconstitutional law that was passed recently in Michigan and the following popped up....

Michigan Passes Laws Restricting Election Recounts for Fraud Allegations and Wide-Margin Victories
By Courtney Cohn

July 9, 2024

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed bills into law on Monday that will prohibit election recounts conducted due to allegations of fraud and for counts that would not impact election results.

Whitmer said in a statement that this supports “fair and free elections that make sure the winner can take office without unnecessary interference.”

Senate Bill 603 includes numerous provisions regulating election recounts. Notably, the law states a recount is not an “investigation or an audit of the conduct of an election,” and it “does not assess the qualifications of electors participating in an election or the manner in which ballots are applied for or issued to electors.”

Also, the legislation will not allow an election board to investigate allegations of fraud; instead, they must refer the matter to the prosecuting attorney of the county or the state attorney general.

Candidate or ballot question committees — organizations that put issues on the ballot for people to vote on — can only submit petitions for recounts “for precincts that have an imbalance between the ballots collected and ballots issued,” according to a statement about the legislation.

That discrepancy must be large enough that if the votes in question were reallocated to the losing side, it could flip the results of the election. Otherwise, a recount cannot be requested.

Also, in 2022, petitions were filed requesting recounts of two ballot proposals due to alleged voter fraud. Neither petition requested a recount of enough votes to impact the results, and “Although many feel that these recounts were frivolous, they were required to be conducted because the petitions were filed legally,” according to the bill analysis.

The bill also increases the amount of money someone must pay to request a recount, so that the municipality can afford to carry it out effectively and accurately. Also, by charging more money for larger victory margins, the state discourages candidates and ballot question committees from requesting recounts for contests without tight margins.

State House Republicans have expressed their opposition to these provisions, including State Rep. Ann Bollin (R).

“I understand the importance of preventing frivolous recounts, but we must also acknowledge the rights of candidates and voters to ensure they have confidence in the results,” Bollin said in a statement. “By making recounts too expensive, we are effectively pricing out local candidates from ensuring the accuracy of election results and diminishing the public’s confidence in the process.”

The bill also has a provision stating that any recount must be filed within 48 hours after the certification of the votes by the board of county canvassers, which will prevent election results from being held up for long periods of time.

Then, the law establishes that “Any individual who willfully interferes with a recount or activities of a recount is guilty of a felony.”

Michigan Passes Laws Restricting Election Recounts for Fraud Allegations and Wide-Margin Victories

That discrepancy must be large enough that if the votes in question were reallocated to the losing side, it could flip the results of the election. Otherwise, a recount cannot be requested.

In an analysis of the bill, the state House Committee on Elections explained that in the 2016 presidential race, Green Party candidate Jill Stein requested a recount of ballots in Michigan, even though she only received 1.07% of the vote.

Also, in 2022, petitions were filed requesting recounts of two ballot proposals due to alleged voter fraud. Neither petition requested a recount of enough votes to impact the results, and “Although many feel that these recounts were frivolous, they were required to be conducted because the petitions were filed legally,” according to the bill analysis.

The bill also has a provision stating that any recount must be filed within 48 hours after the certification of the votes by the board of county canvassers, which will prevent election results from being held up for long periods of time.

Then, the law establishes that “Any individual who willfully interferes with a recount or activities of a recount is guilty of a felony.”

Senate Bill 604, a companion bill, amends the state’s sentencing guidelines to reflect this change and states that this felony is punishable by a sentence of up to five years.

“Today, with the signing of our common-sense recount law reforms, we are strengthening our democracy and ensuring that we reach the most accurate count of the ballots possible during a recount process,” said state Sen. Stephanie Chang (D) in a statement on Monday. “These laws achieve critical goals of protecting the security of every vote, modernizing our recount process, and uplifting the voices of Michigan voters.”

The Democrats have figured out that by the time massive vote fraud is identified the Democrat has long since taken office, and in the case of the Biden fraudulent presidency, they then control the suppression of any lawful investigation & so avoid any legal consequences.

There is precious little time between the election & the taking of office to investigate & rectify fraudulent votes, especially in a national election for President. Given that Trump would beat Kackling Kamala in a fair election, I guarantee the Rats will cheat & laugh & laugh all the way to the White House, again.
