Apparently it happened. They are investigating Tina Peters. Lindell supposedly bankrolled those clowns.
She was at his “symposium” or whatever it was, when he live-streamed for hours and had lots of people talking about the election being stolen but offered no evidence (even though he claimed he was revealing it). So that’s not at all a surprise to me.
I watched some of that to see what it was all about. It was all about selling pillows.
Here is an article talking about this mess, and how Lindell factors in:
The plan that Frank devised with Tina Peters and Sherronna Bishop centered on a planned software update—called a “trusted build”—of the county’s Dominion Voting Systems machines. Because election equipment is not meant to be connected to the Internet, which could open it up to hackers, Dominion’s software upgrades are conducted in person, with only limited personnel in attendance. Frank said he told Peters that it was imperative to make a copy of the existing system before the machines were reprogrammed. “ ‘Otherwise, you’ll lose your evidence,’ ” Frank recalled telling her. “So that’s when I put her in contact with some people who could come in and do backups.”
One of the people Frank said he contacted was Mike Lindell, the MyPillow C.E.O., who has boasted about spending at least thirty-five million dollars to try to prove that the 2020 election was stolen. “Mike hired me to be a consultant in some of his lawsuits against Dominion Voting Systems,” Frank said. (Lindell disputed this characterization.) Frank also claimed that Lindell introduced him to Trump’s legal team on a video call. “It’s all the attorneys,” Frank said. “Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani and all those people—about sixteen of them. And they screened my work.” (Powell and Giuliani could not be reached for comments. Lindell denied personally introducing Frank to Trump’s legal team, though he added it was possible that one of his attorneys did.) Frank told me that he “passed along the information” about Tina Peters “to the Lindell team and said, ‘Look, she has these systems that need backup, and let’s send somebody to her who can do this, and do it properly.’ ” (Lindell said, “I had nothing to do with what Frank did with Peters and Bishop” at the time.)
Frank, by the way, was Douglas Frank, who was “a high-school math and science teacher with a doctorate in chemistry”. The reason he got involved was because he “was then crisscrossing the country, presenting evidence of a secret algorithm he said he’d discovered that supposedly showed how elections were rigged”. (All from that article.)
A secret algorithm?
That cartoon has been one of my favourites for decades (I think), but I haven’t seen it since it was published.
Lindell is suing DOJ to get his phone back. He claims he doesn’t own a computer and does all his business and banking by phone, which has all his passwords.
He also needs it back because it has software for his hearing aids. You know what Mikey? So does mine, but I can operate them manually if I have to.
He wears hearing aids? The way he seems to constantly be yelling made me think he needed hearing aids. Hate to hear him without them in!
Can’t he just get a new phone and ask the cops to load it up?
Isn’t that why the DOJ wants it too? Seems like that’s akin to suing the police to get your drugs back because you really like drugs.
Manually, you said?
Lindell needs one like this then.
The biggest traitor and criminal in the US is being supported by an idiot that is losing millions to support him. He has all the data. But it’s on his cell phone.
I really don’t care what their supporters do. They are fools and morons. Many already going to prison. Garland has his ducks in row and is moving forward. Sure it’s slow. Justice is slow.
Just linked this for the “where are the election deniers” but you don’t think Lindell would miss this chance would you? Of course not, even though he should be worrying about the courts slapping down his efforts to claw back his phone from the feds…
Lindell shared a graphic on Instagram and in a video showing Warnock receiving a sharp spike in votes around 9 p.m.
“They are currently stealing Herschel Walkers race with the machines!” he wrote on Instagram.
“Oh wow, look at this everybody. This is real-time crime, our first one of the night,” Lindell said in the video, which shows the graph at about the 43:00 mark. “This is exciting. They are caught!”
-narrator voice- No they are not.
The usual claims, and the usual, almost tired debunking of ML’s claims. I suspect that with Trump in view, no one is paying a great deal of attention to old Mikey…
You just wait! Mikey grabbed all the packets and he’ll show the whole world rock solid proof in two weeks!
Mike, you built a fortune on selling overpriced, uncomfortable pillows. That’s all you know. You don’t understand the data you’re looking at. Go find a more productive hobby.
Mike has teamed up with the God to defeat the Republicans to prove the Democrats stole the last election. Or something like that.
Yeah, like smoking crack. If that kept him off the news, good.
To be fair, he also knows how to lose some of that fortune by being fined for exaggerating his product’s heath benefits.
At his core, he’s little more than a snake oil salesman; election denial is his new snake oil.
I’d like to hear him explain what a logarithm is. Or what “cyber” means. He throws those words around a lot. Lip licking idiot.
