This seems like the sort of thing you don’t say out loud but, like a serial killer, many in politics are just too absorbed in their own egos to not try to take credit for their deeds.
TIME wrote a very interesting piece making some very alarming claims. Namely, that a secret cabal banded together across the country to stop Donald Trump from winning re-election. This included everything from manipulating media coverage to getting election laws changed, at least according to TIME’s account.

If you had said this out loud on Twitter a few months ago, it would have gotten you banned. https://t.co/hub7XtzKfh

Yeah, this seems like a pretty big deal to me, and nakedly undemocratic, at least if you care about that sort of thing. Politics is inherently manipulative on some level, I suppose, but working to change election laws and quenching the flow of information to affect an election is a bit past your typical bluster on the stump.
Of course, none of this is especially groundbreaking to those who have been paying attention. For all the chatter about “dark money” and “interfering in elections,” it’s always been those on the left (and that includes the “right-wing” Chamber of Commerce mentioned here) who have had a no holds barred approach to winning. Given the control over popular culture, financial institutions, and political influence operations that the left wields, it’s hardly shocking they’d use every lever to defeat Trump.
Yet, the hypocrisy is still a bit much. We dealt with four years of hyperventilating about Russia and Facebook posts from anti-Trump forces, yet the reality of who is truly interfering in our elections hits much closer to home. The actions listed in the TIME article are also far, far more consequential and dangerous to free and fair elections.
I just want to say that it is the opposite of Democracy when a secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites conspire to manipulate the rules and laws of an election in order to win
But shit, not like this is a new storyhttps://t.co/RvTT0Kx8IX

No matter, this secret cabal isn’t made up of imaginary Russians so it’s all good. The left truly only care about election interference and manipulation when they deem it a threat to their own preferred outcomes. Otherwise, they are all for it. You won’t see the mainstream media decry this. You won’t see a tearful lament from Nancy Pelosi about the dangers it poses to our republic. Rather, this will all be ignored. Heck, it’ll be celebrated as a brilliant political strategy.
And while I’m sure some fact-checker will have qualms with me describing what this group did as manipulation, I believe the objective definition of that word more than applies here. When you seek to stop people from having information that could affect their vote, that’s manipulation. When you go and lobby to get certain laws changed specifically to help your side, that’s manipulation. It is what it is.
Meanwhile, Republicans can get in the game or get busy losing again.
From a post of mine from December 30, 2020 and January 1, 2021:
Who is capable of masterminding an operation as vast as this?I'll suggest a culprit:
I think it was a coordinated effort led by Marc Elias, to use the "boots on the ground," managed by the local political leaders, to manipulate the election results in all of the battleground states. I point to the sophistication of the Hillary "Russia Hoax" disinformation campaign to deflect from her illegal server as evidence that Elias is capable of this kind of deep coordinated effort.
- There is one name that stands out to me, and was prominent in the news as well. That name is Marc Elias of Perkins Coie. Elias is a long-time Clinton crony.
- Mark Elias was also the lawyer who brokered the Hillary Clinton campaign's deal in 2016 to pay off the DNC debt from the Obama 2012 campaign in exchange for taking control of the DNC fundraising machine. This was detailed by Donna Brazile in her report to Bernie Sanders on what happened in the DNC 2016 primary.
- Elias/Perkins Coie was also the cutout between the Hillary Clinton campaign and the "Steele Dossier" that accused the Trump campaign of Russian collusion.
- Marc Elias is the person who coordinated all the lawsuits prior to the 2020 election in the battleground states.
- Marc Elias is the person who is still challenging the Republican House win in the Iowa CD-2 race.
- Marc Elias is the "go to" expert for the MSM whenever they report on Republican election lawsuit challenges. Google his name; he's all over the election news.
- There is your mastermind -- it is Marc Elias.

Look up the Franklin Scandal and Boys Town in the late 80’s
Not only does the abuse in the Lincoln project not surprise me, it is the tip of the iceberg.
Bump
Of course, let’s overlook Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where voting procedures were changed without legislative approval.

Also ignored laws that were not changed.
remarkably the first analogy I’ve read to an actual “swamp” in nature. You did it proud. Kudos.
The latter.
Insert CS Lewis quote...
Lindell’s video:
Very important video to watch, expecially the last thirty minutes where Chinese hacking is documented.
Thank you :) It just kind of came to mind some reason.
Secret, well-funded and connected cabals always inspire confidence in me. /s
This cannot be true.......all this was in TIME magazine? THE TIME magazine? Ultra-liberal TIME magazine? Has anyone seen a copy of the article?
I read it like they are proud of it.
No, they are claiming the things that were done, which are public record, were done to keep Trump from rigging, if not “stealing,” the election. It’s gaslighting of the highest order.
Yep, click-bait.

THIS may be why there are still 7-8,000 NG troops still in DC.
Talk about “getting out in front of a story”; this is probably the most epic example of getting out in front of a story that I’ve ever seen. If an investigative journalist like John Solomon were to have uncovered all of this and written the story without all of the leftist spin, this would be the story of the decade.
Oh, and we also now know what was going on in the “role playing” scenario-planning conference call in which Tobin exposed himself. The people on that call were part of this group to “save the election.”
TIME is boasting about fixing the election because they “saved” the nation from Trump. They actually think that fraud was patriotic. Unhinged TDS combined with CCP pressure and deep state anger at MAGA.
they can say it was all done to prevent the lie of Trump stealing the election but in reality they still exposed something.
Trump didn’t steal the election in 2016 and their lies of RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.
