BOMBSHELL: Trump official CAUGHT in ELECTION scheme

This is Democracy Watch. Mark, we have a. very, very bizarre story here. Obviously, we all heard about the search. warrant being executed in Georgia to. seize the ballots there from the 2020. election. But Tulsi Gabbard, the. director of national intelligence, was. also photographed there. And I'm going. to put the photo right here on the. screen. Kind of uh like a t made for TV. photo where it's kind of her in the. background, grainy. What reason would. there be for the DNI to be anywhere near. the 2020 ballots in Georgia? None. And.

and you know, it's not just being near. the ballots. It's why is the DNI at a a. law enforcement search, right? I mean, like, you know, the the the White House. and the Department of Justice put out a. statement saying that this was a lawful. search, right? This was conducted. pursuant to lawful process. Where on. earth does the Director of National. Intelligence fit into the Federal Bureau. of Investigation conducting a a a. search? And the answer is nowhere. And. so there are no good answers to why.

she's there. She may have been there. because she has been cut out of. Venezuela and cut out of foreign policy. and maybe she's just sucking up to the. Trump administration and to the. president by saying, "Hey, look, I'm I'm. I'm here on the ground." Uh the problem. with that is how the hell did she find. out there would be a search? Like how. did she find out to show up in Georgia. in uh in a a search that was under seal. prior to um prior to being executed? The. second possibility um is that.

[clears throat] she has somehow been. deputized to look into the 2020 election. or fraud more generally. You know, Donald Trump has a history of pulling. people from one job and putting them. someplace else. I mean, hell, Marco. Rubio could have been. >> like six jobs. He's like the national. archavist. He's the secretary of state. Uh well, he he just got a brand new job. recently. I can't even remember what it. was, >> right? So, like, who the hell knows? Maybe that's possible. But I think the. the most likely reason and the thing. that should really send shivers down. everyone's spine is remember that in.

2020 when I was representing President. Biden and the DNC and the Democratic. party in fighting against all these. lawsuits among the spirious allegations. among the craziest of the crazy. conspiracy theories were these things. about foreign governments interfering. There was the of course the Hugo Chavez. rigging the election notwithstanding the. fact that he was dead. There were. suggestions of satellites and foreign. governments beaming stuff, you know, in. Arizona, different state, remember the.

the there was the allegation that that. there was Chinese bamboo filaments found. in the ballots, right? Like, so maybe. part of the way they are going to argue. that there was fraud in the 2020. election because the ballots, I can tell. you, they've been counted, they've been. recounted, and they've been. re-recounted. Right? The Georgia. election was counted once and then Brad. Rasenberger, the the Secretary of State, ordered a hand recount and a machine. recount. So, they're not going to count. the ballots and come to a different. conclusion. So, maybe the way they're.

planning on paper overing this is by by. having Tulsi Gabbard say, "Oh, no, but. she has uh secret classified information. uh that uh that that that uh you know. that the that some foreign government. was involved, >> right? That that that only she would be. privy to as DNI." And in fact, >> only only she and random people on Truth. Social and [laughter] Twitter. >> That's right. >> The only people who would know it are. are her and random like, you know, bots.

on social media. >> That That's right. at the skiff. And in. fact, I'm I wish I was joking because. I'm going to put right here on this. screen uh um a post that Donald Trump. amplified on Truth Social. And here's. what he said. Maria Zach testified about. the stolen 2020 election operation. connected to Obama when he diverted $400. million from the infamous pallets of. cash sent to Iran, funneling through the. Dubai embassy to operatives in Italy and. Mel Lynch in Geneva, Switzerland. In. return, Italian officials at Leonardo.

spa use military satellites to help hack. US voting machines, flipping votes from. Trump to Biden, using CIA developed. tools like Hammer and Scorecard, along. with numerous other methods of fraud and. manipulation. China reportedly. coordinated the whole operation, providing the tech backbone and d and. bribes to corrupt Americans. The CIA. oversaw it. The FBI covered it up all to. install Biden as a puppet. This is the. global election fraud cartel and the. real threat against American democracy. and the rest of the world. So, we got. everything there. You got Dubai, Meil.

Lynch, Switzerland, Italy, Obama, Iran, CIA, FBI. I mean, it is just it is just. >> and China. And China. How could I. forget? >> China and the FBI were both coordinating. it all. >> Yeah. And and weirdly, we the Democrats. had the opportunity to effectuate this. whole plan when they didn't have control. of the federal government. But when the. Democrats were running and did have. control of the federal government in. 2024, somehow they weren't able to make. any use of any of this plan. Even though.

it was it was Joe Biden's FBI and CIA. who were in charge at the time in. November of 2024, the same plan that. apparently worked. so work so cleanly in. 2020 didn't work when when the Democrats. actually had control of the federal. government. >> Yeah. So there are a few things notable. here. The first is why the hell is the. president of the United States following. something at skiff or whatever. Like how. does like how does the president of the. United States come to follow this guy or. or know what his content is? And why the.

hell doesn't the legacy media cover. that? LIKE THIS IS JUST BATSHIT CRAZY. I. mean the substance is crazy. But the. idea that the president of the United. States who has access to the most. classified information, the most expert. analysis in his government is social. media posting this thing. I mean, like, where is the legacy media? Why is it, Brian, that you and I continue to have. to point this stuff out? And it's why. people need to follow your channel. It's. why, you know, we do these videos. BUT.

LIKE, WHERE THE HELL are they? BUT BUT. ON top of that, as you point out, I. mean, was Barack Obama doing all this. from like Martha's Vineyard? Like, was. he doing this like from from, you know, CHICAGO? LIKE, HE WASN'T THE PRESIDENT. AT THE TIME. He was the former. president. How the hell would Barack. OBAMA HAVE DONE ANY OF THAT STUFF WHEN. THE PERSON WHO WAS ACTUALLY IN THE WHITE. HOUSE, WHO THE FBI DIRECTOR ANSWERED TO, who the CIA answered to, >> was actually Donald Trump. Mark, do not.

let your facts get in the way of their. conspiracy theories, okay? If they say. that Obama colluded with Hugo Chavez. from Martha's Vineyard to rig the 20. 2020 election, that's how it is, okay? Um, >> but shouldn't Barry Weiss want to get to. the bottom of this and. >> and yet the reason Bezos want his. Washington Post to be all over this? And. yet the reason that they're there is. expressly not to do that which. underscores the need for news outlets. like yours, Democracy Docket, uh to make. sure that that that they that you can. reach as many people as humanly.

possible. So I want to ask everybody. who's watching right now, if you want to. support the invaluable work that Mark. and his team are doing, not just in. reporting all of this stuff, and they're. generally the first outlet to report any. of this, but also fighting these battles. on the front lines in the courts where. it matters most. Mark is litigating 80. cases right now, including in 24. different jurisdictions to prevent voter. data from being turned over to the. federal government. That's private. information that includes our social. security numbers. He is what's standing. between the federal government getting. your voted voting data and not. So, a.

small step we can all take to support. his invaluable work in this space is to. subscribe to Democracy. So, I'm going to. put that link right here on the screen. and also in the post description of this. video. Mark, I know that we talk about. these, you know, these crazy conspiracy. theories and and we kind of do it tongue. and cheek, but but is there some grave. concern that we should have, not just by. virtue of the fact that Trump is still. trying to perpetuate this plan where he. where he uh, you know, uses some bogus, you know, pretext about a.

stolen 2020 election as a justification. to be able to go in and rig the 2026 or. 2028 election. that notwithstanding, but. does the fact that that Tulsi Gabbard or. now other intelligence agencies have. some, you know, some um uh participation. in all of this, does does that give you. any added worry here? >> It does for for for two reasons. First. of all, you know, Tulsi Gabbard is. supposed to be defending this country. against foreign threats and to the.

extent she's, as you say, appearing to. like be f posing for photo ops. And I. don't know if she was posing, but it. sure looked like that photo that you put. up. I mean, she just happened to be. caught on her phone in the back of a. truck. I mean, like, you know, like to. the extent she's doing that, she's not. actually doing the thing that we. desperately need as a country done. So, I just want to I just want to start by. by sort of level setting there that. actually it is a dangerous world and. actually there's a reason why we have a. DNI and it's because that there's work. to be done. And she's clearly not doing.

that. She's doing this. But the second. reason is that look, we we expect our. elections to be fair and free. We expect. them to be run on the level and the good. news is that that is done at the state. level, not by the federal government. But the other thing we expect is that. there will be a level of acceptance of. results that we don't like. You know, I. didn't like the results of the 2024. election and uh Brian, I know you. didn't. And you know, people can go back. and see you and I did a video very early.

on in in this uh uh right after the. election on this channel uh in which you. and I took head-on the question of. whether or not there was election. interference that cost Kirus the. election and we both said no. Like we. were able to do that in a way that the. rightwing can't. Well, here's the thing. Tulsi Gabbard is the in a position to. cause a lot of harm for people who are. being lied to. people who are being. misled because she can suggest a.

nefarious plot involving foreign. governments and have a plausible. credibility because of her position. Now, this is also someone who has shown. an affinity to Russia in the past. So, that's also a concern. Uh but she is. able to convey a certain legitimacy on. ideas that are completely illegitimate. and that can be quite dangerous uh in in. trying to not just run a free and fair. election but get people at the back end. of it to accept it and not for example.

engage in a violent insurrection over. it. Right? Like like you know for all of. the talk about lowering the temperature. here and lowering the temperature there. like her doing this only raises the. temperature. I mean, Donald Trump is. obviously the most malevolent figure. here, but Tulsi Gabbard is kind of. uniquely positioned to also be a really. bad actor. >> And and I want I I know that you and I. are actually going to do a subsequent. episode where we discuss all of the. rationale for Trump continuing to to. engage in this whole process. So again,

I would recommend that that folks, if. you're not yet subscribed and you want. to see subsequent episodes of Democracy. Watch, please make sure to subscribe. because we're going to keep talking. about this. But but why is it so. important if we can just give a general. overview of why it's so important for. Trump to prove uh to or to try and prove. to to offer this this you know bogus. basis for um for this idea that the 2020. election was stolen from him. >> Yeah. I think I think two reasons. First. of all, because his entire movement is. built on it, right? Like the one big the. one foundational principle of this.

cult-like movement that he has is that. the 2020 election was stolen. like that. is the that is the foundational lie upon. which everything else is built. So he. >> So this is like that's like the ego. aspect of this. >> It is it's actually in some it's. interesting because in some ways it's. kind of like the Epstein files like he's. gotten really beaten up over the Epstein. files by his base because that was also. a foundational principle in the MAGA. movement and he's not met it. And so. part of this is just like him showing.

his base that that they were not lied to. there in the way that a lot of them feel. they were lied to about about the um. about the Epstein files. But the second. thing is that look, we have a we have. future elections coming up. And as. important as it is that we not allow the. lies to spread about the 2020 election, it is really important that we not allow. Donald Trump to have dry runs about how. we seize ballots. And you know, we're. going to talk about this in the next. episode, which may very well be the most. important episode. Brian ever I and I. have ever done. So, I hope you you you.

make sure you subscribe to the channel, but also watch that episode. Um, because. I fear that it is a dry run that that. you know, he he wants to show he wants. to know how you would seize ballots and. have them counted without the state. being involved. And like this was uh a. he he has not entirely picked that lock, but this was a big this was a big move. in that direction. In terms of Tulsi. Gabbard, is what we're seeing right now. grounds in your estimation to to either. investigate or impeach?

>> I mean, yeah, I mean, I think so. I. mean, look, I I think that the whole way. in which Donald Trump has comported. himself in just let's say the last two. months, okay, forget about the first 11. months of administration, just like in. the last two months or last month. I. mean he's either not well or he is just. completely overtaken with um with power. Yeah. >> But I mean you know this is he is not.

acting in a way that is even in the wide. spectrum of of abnormal being normal. normal like he is saying and doing. things that are just off the radar. screen. He is making mistakes. He is. miss He is confusing where he was the. day before. He is confusing dates. He's. got weird bruises on his hands. Like. there is something fundamentally not. right. Whether you say impeachment or. oversight or or the 25th Amendment, like. I I I'm going to leave aside for a.

second the exact box to put it in, but. there's something really wrong going on. And and there needs to be a deep look. into that. Now, beyond Donald Trump, you. have an administration of people who. have no business holding their position. So, if you if it were up to me, if it. was like if it was Congressman Mark and. and and and Senator Elias, you know, I. was in both chambers, would I would I? Yeah, I would I would move to impeach, but I'd start with Pam Bondi. I' I'd add. I'd add uh Christine M. uh you know like.

but sure like what I mean I wouldn't. stop there but like but like it's not. like Tulsi Gabbard is the outlier of. this this you know this horror show. I. mean you know. >> she's not a bug on my podcast and I'm. curious because you have a lot more. guests on I've had people make a. compelling argument that actually um. it's uh it's Kennedy Jr. who's doing the. most destruction. He needs to be. impeached. Correct. You know and I've. and I think that's a legitimate argument. but my point is that like Tulsi Gabbard. does not belong in this position. Everybody knew she didn't belong in this.

position. Like there was wide commentary. that that that she didn't belong in this. position. She shouldn't be in it. But. but it doesn't but but if she got fired. tomorrow, it would not materially. improve the quality of the overall. administration. >> Correct. And and in fact, as it relates. to Greg Bovino being pushed out of his. position as commander at large of Border. Patrol, like I I try to guard against. this idea that that okay, now that like. this is some victory because Greg Bovino.

is out. Greg Bovino acted that way. Yes. Because he is a a fascist uh you know. anti-American totalitarian. militia member in my opinion. But he. also did that because because he was. given that green light by Trump. Like. you don't act that way unless you are. acting on behalf of the person at the. top. And so when Tom Hman comes in, that's not cause for celebration because. Tom Hman works for the same admin works. for the same guy who Greg Bovino worked.

for who gave Greg Boino the green light. to act how Greg Bino was acting. And so. we can dress it up, you know, put window. dressing and pretend that Tom Hman is. some kinder, gentler uh Customs and. Border Patrol, but the reality is he is. still an extension of Donald Trump, which means we're going to get the same. exact uh policies, maybe with just. better window dressing that I'm sure. legacy media is just going to swallow. whole. Uh, and if if Trump says that, you know, we're winding down or. whatever, you know, whatever DHS talking.

points he he hands out, I'm sure we're. going to see them just regurgitated by. the CBS's of the world. >> No, that's exactly right. And and, you. know, I want to emphasize this in the. context of what we've seen in Minnesota, which I realize we've strayed a long way. from Georgia, but I think I think it's I. think it's important that people. understand how these pieces fit. together. You know, I've heard some. people on the left, some Democrats say, you know, the problem here is that these. ICE agents and Border Patrol uh folks uh. didn't get proper training. You know,

they were not vetted when they were. hired and they didn't get proper. training. This is not like a training. issue. It's not like it's not like what. we have here is a series of, you know, officers on the streets doing. things that the administration is then. saying that should not have happened, right? That would be a training problem, right? The administration sets a policy. here and these folks are not meeting. that threshold. But that isn't. happening. Like the people, the. individual agents who shot that poor,

you know, uh, Mr. Prey 10 times. >> Yeah. >> Like they didn't get fired or condemned. you know, the the agent who shot uh. Renee Good in the face with the stuffed. animals coming out of her her glove. compartment and her family dog in the. back, like they did he didn't get. criticized. He got lauded. Yeah. >> And so I don't think this is like a. training problem. And that's why, you. know, to bring us back to Georgia, like. I don't think Tulsi Gabbard showing up. in that van is like Tulsi Gabbard going.

rogue, right? >> Like like you know what I This is this. is what this president wants and he is. getting the government he wants. And if. people watching this video don't start. to understand that that this is this is. not a problem of a few bad apples. This. is actually the guy who planted the. trees poisoned the apples and then he. hired a bunch of people at the top to. say go pick poison apples and add more. poison. Okay. And that's so it's not the.

apple pickers, it's not the apples, it's. the people in charge. And that is what. is going on in Georgia, it's what's. going on in Minnesota. And I think it is. the the throughine of all of these. things. >> That's perfectly put. I have nothing to. add. And again, uh clearly you all can. see why Mark's voice needs to be. elevated here. So if you are not yet. subscribed to Democracy Docket and you. want to amplify his voice, which is. essential, please make sure to sign up. I'm going to put that link right here on. the screen and also in the post. description of this video. And of course. the the link to this channel is on the. screen as well. I'm Brian Teller Cohen.
