Today, Iâm going into the proverbial den of lions â a roomful of high-priced lawyers from the voting machine companies.
What about reportersâ privilege â you ask?
Itâs hard to say if it exists anymore in America.
Here are some interesting facts about Smartmatic gathered by lawyers for Fox News:
Smartmatic was forced to sell Sequoia after Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) asked the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to investigate Smartmatic âbecause of concerns that the government run by Venezuelan President Hugo ChaÌvez ... owns a stake in the company.â [Ex.D4, Wall Street Journal, Smartmatic to Shed U.S. Unit, End Probe Into Venezuelan Links (Dec. 22, 2006).]
As one computer scientist expressed it on Lou Dobbsâ CNN show in a 2006 segment about Smartmatic, âweâre using equipment to elect our president and our Congress, and our local officials, that cannot be audited, that are potentially under the control of foreign entities, and that are almost an ideal platform for rigging an election.â [Ex.D6, CNN, Democracy at Risk (Nov. 3, 2006).]
Also in 2006, Chicago officials blamed Smartmatic/Sequoia machinesâand in particular âsoftware ... developed in Venezuelaâ â for a series of âirregularitiesâ during an election in Chicago. [Ex.D5, N.Y. Times, U.S. Investigates Voting Machinesâ Venezuela Ties (Oct. 29, 2006).]
Smartmatic and Dominion had a licensing agreement in the past that was the subject of a lawsuit between the two companies in Delaware court. [See Smartmatic Intâl Corp. v. Dominion Voting Sys. Intâl Corp., 2013 WL 1821608 (Del. Ch. May 1, 2013).]
Thatâs quite a record.
I Need Your Help!
The voting machine companies Smartmatic and Dominion want to search through my emails and telephone records in 2023.
Itâs very expensive to prepare for litigation, and discovery, in these massive lawsuits brought by the voting machine companies. (Fox News paid out almost $800 million just last year.) They try to bankrupt and silence conservative journalists by dragging them through court proceedings for years.
Independent and fearless journalists need your support like never before.
I need your support like never before.
If we are going to survive the current regime then we must stand together.
Iâve got your back. Do you have mine?
