Why were counts put on the internet and sent to Italy and then back to the USA ?
Maria Strollo Zack, a Georgia-based lobbyist and leader of the 501(c)4 organization Nations in Action, said she told Trump about the conspiracy theory at his Mar-a-Lago resort on December 24, 2020.[4] On December 29, Mark Meadows forwarded a letter explaining the Italygate claims to acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen.[4] The letter was printed on the letterhead of USAerospace Partners, a company led by Republican businesswoman Michele Roosevelt Edwards.
On January 6, 2021, the Institute for Good Governance—a firm also headed by Edwards—released a joint statement with Nations in Action stating an Italian hacker named Arturo D’Elia had confessed to “using Leonardo computer systems and military satellites located in Pescara, Italy” to change U.S. election results. The Italian bureau of prisons later said it was investigating how two American men gained access to the Salerno prison where they tried to interrogate D’Elia. D’Elia told reporters that he had refused to speak with the Americans, and that he had no connection to the alleged conspiracy, saying, “I didn’t steal anything. I didn’t pass anything to anyone. I just created malware.”
According to Zack, the operation had been coordinated by the American embassy in Rome, with the help of Italian general Claudio Graziano who was a member of the board of Leonardo.
To my knowledge—and Barnes was quite involved in a lot of this-—it was bunk.
It makes sense that the easiest way to steal was simply stuff ballots via the “Mules.”
“counts” going to Italy or Germany don’t make sense if you have paper backup as in AZ. You’d have to know exactly what precincts to add paper ballots to make them match the computer counts.
