* CALIF GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM IS NANCY PELOSI'S NEPHEW

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A "STACKED DECK". IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS MEDIA WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Now you know why no one is investigated. They all have their hands in the cookie jar! You might remember James Comey who investigated the Clinton email scandal and the Clinton Foundation, and made the final decision to not recommend prosecution by the DOJ.
It turns out that the Clinton Foundation was audited by the law firm DLA Piper. One of the executives there was in charge of the Clinton Foundation audit.
Who was it? Peter Comey, James Comey’s brother. Peter Comey held an executive position with the Washington law firm that did the audit of the Clinton foundation in 2015. Peter Comey was officially DLA Piper “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas,” in 2015 when the Clinton Foundation scandals first broke and Hillary was preparing her Presidential campaign. Not only was DLA Piper, the firm where Comey’s brother worked involved in the audit of the Clinton Foundation, but according to the foundation’s donor records, DLA Piper has given between $50 - 100k to the Foundation It gets even cozier. DLA Piper executive Douglas Emhoff is taking an extended leave of absence from the firm. Who is Douglas Emhoff? He is the husband of KAMALA HARRIS! Just a strange coincidence? Amazing if it is. You can't make this stuff up! Another example of the DC swamp.”
And it only gets worse. This "Family Tree" will make your head spin . . THE SWAMP IS DEEP!!
Dominion (voting machine provider) serves 40% of the US market. It is in 30 states - - The state of Texas rejected the machines.

- Smartmatic (another voting machine supplier) entered into an agreement with Dominion in 2009
- Smartmatic counted votes in Venezuela
- Smartmatic is connected to Philippine voter fraud
- Smartmatic is run by Lord Mark Malloch Brown who works for George Soros (-he and Brown are life-long friends)
- Brown chairs the Boards of a number of non-profit boards including the Open Society Foundation,
- Brown chairs the Centre for Global Development.

- Georgia Governor Kemp used Dominion Voting after Texas and Florida rejected them

- Debra Katz (Christine Ford's lawyer) also worked at Project on Government Oversight (POGO).
- POGO is funded by Soros’s Open Society Foundation.

1. Here's the fact check

https://www.reuters.com/article/world/fact-check-partly-false-list-of-alleged-stacked-deck-with-politicians-family-idUSKBN28K23T/

More than half are false

[ChazII]

2. Thanks, WarGamer

I saw this post on one friend's page. Now thanks to you have a link for them to read.

[ScratchCat]

8. Of course

And its not like you can't create a very similar list of conservative talking heads, companies, judges and billionaires who are all connected.

[Dave Bowman]

3. They forgot about...

The nephew of the brother in law of George Soros' tailor's neighbor is working for the Deep State at Area 51.

[Omnipresent]

4. So much to mull over...

Then toss into the trash.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

5. I checked the first three, they were wrong,

and so I stopped reading.

Of course, it's quite impressive how much influence they think George Soros has.

[MacKasey]

6. Chelsea Clinton husband is not related to George Soros

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/jul/25/viral-image/no-evidence-chelsea-clinton-married-george-soross-/

See link

7. A lot of George Soros tin foil hattery going on there!

[3catwoman3]

9. If we had that many "insiders" in the media, wouldn't we...

…be doing a better job of putting out “Kamala ahead by double digits” fake stories?

[ScratchCat]

12. Just like if we rigged 2020 against Trump

Why didn't we rig it against all the other down-ballot Republicans?

Their conspiracies rarely even make sense and fall apart with the minimal of scrutiny.

[Duncan Grant]

10. We don't share right-wing talking points/disinformation here, right? (nt)

[TwilightZone]

15. The subject line notes that it's BS.

But I would agree that we don't need to air the whole list. The header would suffice, as well as the fact-check link from the first response.

[ScratchCat]

11. Here's one that will blow the author's mind

There is a Federal judge down in Florida insisting on hearing a case that others said should be declined, and it turns out.... the defendant appointed the judge!!!!

Yeh, no concern there, I suppose.....

[TwilightZone]

13. Not sure it's necessary for the whole list to be here.

We really shouldn't be giving this stuff attention, although your reason for doing so was indicated in your subject line.

I would suggest editing your post: I'd probably delete the full list and just leave the first part about fact-checking, then add the link provided in the first response. That way, if people see the same header on FB or whatever, they know what it's in reference to and where to find the fact-check, but at the same time we don't give air to the nonsense itself.

14. "A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around the World While the Truth Is Putting On Its Shoes"

(Quote attributed to Winston Churchill, Mark Twain, and several others.)

And, regarding most of the items on the list, my reaction is "So what?"


Other than perhaps, "Oooh, Jews are conspiring against Real Americans™. Scaaaary!

And let's look at some of the interconnected relationships among government, business, and media people friendly to Repugs, shall we? Starting with Mrs. Greenspan?

[Dan]

16. They forgot one of the most important hidden facts of all..... Democrats are Aliens from planet Mars.

It's well known that they arrived in a couple of spaceships at Roswell New Mexico in 1947. Some of the Aliens escaped and took over human bodies where they were soon able to appear on TV effectively changing people into Alien disciples. From that point onward America began to change, promoting a Liberal Agenda and moving away from the things that Made America Great. It's a well-known fact.
