Top Pennsylvania Republican senator replaces Mastriano as leader of 'election integrity' plan [Flashback to August 2021]

The state senator behind the push to carry out an Arizona-style “forensic investigation” of Pennsylvania’s 2020 presidential election on Friday accused Senate Republican leadership of stonewalling his efforts.

During an interview aired Friday on One American News Network, Doug Mastriano, a Franklin County Republican, blasted Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, R-Centre County, for trying to shut down his pursuit of an election audit.

He added that Mr. Corman has threatened to strip him of his chairmanship of the Senate Intergovernmental Committee and fire his staff if he moves ahead with the audit.

“This is the kind of games that are going on behind the scenes,” he said.

Considering what happened in Pennsylvania last night, it's worth looking back to see how we got here. It began when Mastriano started conducting his statewide audit of the 2020 election, got too close to the truth, and got shut down by Jake Corman, who wanted to run for governor himself. Corman fired Mastriano's staff, knee-capping him, and gave the "investigative review" to State Senator Cris Dush, who (surprise!) never finished the audit, leaving all those Dominion machines in place and in operation throughout Pennsylvania.

Corman announced his candidacy in December and Mastriano announced his on January 8, 2022. Trump secretly wanted Corman as the candidate, detached Kellyanne Conway to serve as Corman's senior advisor, and brought him down to Mar-a-Lago for weekend golf-outtings and consultations.

However, Corman was never able to get past 3% in the polls, and dropped out (twice), when Mastriano started pulling away from the pack on his own. The week before the primary, Trump finally endorsed Mastriano, but by then it was over, and Mastriano crushed Barletta by 29 points. That didn't stop trump from claiming credit though.

So here we are, the day after a disastrous election day, fully of irony, with Mastriano a victim of that same corrupt Pennsylvania election system that he tried so hard to investigate and fix, only to be stopped by Corman.

I don’t know yet. I haven’t seen the compiled results. Man, I hope so, or else we’re truly screwed.

“This is the kind of games that are going on behind the scenes,” he said.>>> Jake Corman and his corrupt cabal Dush did fire mastriano’s staf and deleted his email as i tried to get a hold of mastriano during this time. Corman has his daddy’s senate seat and effectively controlled talk radio (WPHT) away from the audit by creating the Krazner impeachment crap. Worked for Shapiro election. Nicely done Jake. Hope you burn in h#!!

Read the Auditor Generals SURE system Dept of State report. Read the wake TSI report, Read Frank Ryans report, Read Parallel Election book. Also Mastriano did vote the the unconstitutional act 77 and has never said “ i efed up sorry”
