One of The People Indicted by Arizona’s Far-Left AG is the RNC’s Election Integrity Chief.

Christina Bobb, who currently runs the Republican National Committee (RNC) ‘s election integrity unit, was indicted Wednesday night for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) announced that Bobb and 17 others are being charged with felony crimes, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy.

Bobb previously worked as a lawyer for former President Donald Trump and a reporter for One America News Network (OAN) before her appointment to the RNC. Despite the indictment, Bobb expressed her honor in joining the RNC and reiterated her commitment to restoring confidence in the electoral process. “I’m honored to join the RNC and thrilled the new leadership is focused on election integrity. I look forward to working to secure our elections and restore confidence in the process,” Bobb said at the time of her appointment.

TRUMP NAMED UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR.

Former President Donald Trump is listed as “Unindicted Co-conspirator 1” in the charging document. However, the Arizona Attorney General has not charged him with any crime.

Responding to the indictment, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said: “Another example of Democrats’ weaponization of the legal system. Christina Bobb is a former Marine Corps officer, who served our nation and the President with distinction. The Democrat platform for 2024: if you can’t beat them, try to throw them in jail.”

A FELONY TWITTER POST?

The indictment of Bobb appears to center around a single post she made on X (formerly Twitter) directed at then-Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers. “Sounds like he needs an excuse to give his angry constituents about why he’s refusing to call a session and examine the fraud in his state. First time it’s been closed the whole pandemic,” Bobb’s post reads.

Anti-Woke Actor & Activist Ordered to Pay $225K for Calling Drag-Obsessives ‘Pedophiles.’

A high court judge in London ordered actor and right-wing activist Laurence Fox to pay £180,000 (~$224,748) in damages to two people whom he called ‘pedophile’ [sic] online. Fox — founder of the right-wing populist Reclaim party — was the subject of a libel case for referring to Simon Blake, an ex-trustee of LGBTQ+ charity Stonewall, and a drag performer named Colin Seymour as “pedophiles,” after the two accused him of being a “racist” on X (formerly Twitter).

In October 2020, Fox announced he was boycotting UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s for its support of black history month. Fox’s announcement was met with accusations of racism by Blake and Seymour, as well as broadcaster Nicola Thorp. Fox responded to the allegations by calling his three detractors pedophiles. In response, Blake and Seymour sued Fox for libel.

The order to pay the two men £90,000 (~$112,374) each follows Fox’s losing his court bottle in January. Fox had counter-sued Blake and Seymour, claiming the pair’s allegations of racism were “reputation-destroying” and “career-ending.” He claimed they resulted in a “significant decline” in work.

“Mr. Fox’s labeling of Mr. Blake and Mr. Seymour as pedophiles was, on the evidence… seriously harmful, defamatory and baseless,” said Justice Collins Rice. “The law affords few defenses to defamation of this sort. Mr Fox did not attempt to show these allegations were true, and he was not able to bring himself on the facts within the terms of any other defense recognized in law.” The judge also said that the tweets calling Fox ‘racist’ were unlikely to harm his reputation.

During the trial, Fox maintained he was a victim of racism. “There’s huge quantities of anti-right white racism in the world. It’s the only acceptable form of racism there is left.”

Gateway Pundit Files for Bankruptcy Protection.

Gateway Pundit, a well-known right-wing news website, has declared that its parent company, TGP Communications, is seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Florida. This comes in response to what the site’s founder, Jim Hoft, describes as a series of “lawfare attacks” allegedly initiated by “the radical left.” Hoft detailed the issue in a post on Wednesday.

“TGP Communications, the parent company of The Gateway Pundit, recently made the decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet,” Hoft wrote.

‘This is not an admission of fault or culpability. This is a common tool for reorganization and to consolidate litigation when attacks are coming from all sides. It allows TGP to consolidate this lawfare in one court for ultimate resolution,” he continued.

“Despite the radical left’s efforts to silence The Gateway Pundit through censorship, de-platforming, de-banking, cut-off from advertisers, and other financial strategies, we will not be deterred from our mission of remaining fearless and being one of the most trusted independent media outlets in America today.”

The company currently faces multiple lawsuits, many of which stem from the information published by Gateway Pundit regarding the 2020 electoral process. Dominion Voting Systems, a controversial firm that played a key role in vote tabulation during the 2020 presidential elections, has leveled defamation charges against the organization.

Two ex-election workers from Georgia have also initiated lawsuits against Gateway Pundit. Posts from the media outlet suggested these workers were involved in election fraud, an accusation the workers firmly deny.

DID YOU NOTICE? Biden DOJ’s SCOTUS Attorney Was Also Robert Mueller’s Russiagate Lead.

The attorney representing special counsel Jack Smith before the United States Supreme Court‘s hearing over former President Donald Trump‘s presidential immunity claim was also a ringleader behind the Russia collusion hoax. Michael Dreeben, a federal attorney with the Department of Justice (DOJ), was revealed in 2018 as the primary legal mind behind special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into allegations that Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.

Dreeben has a long track record of partisan lawfare. Prior to his tenure at the DOJ, he served as a staffer to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). It was Dreeben who, despite the Mueller team knowing that the Russian collusion accusations were false, engineered the legal strategy of pursuing Trump over “obstruction of justice” for opposing the Democrats‘ witch hunt.

In addition to his stint on the Mueller team, Dreeben advised former Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance on his “get Trump” operation. Interestingly, Mark Pomerantz was also working with Cyrus Vance at the time and would have likely interacted with Dreeben. Pomerantz likely pushed current Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg into pursuing the hush money charges against Trump, which are currently being heard at trial.

The DOJ attorney has argued over 100 cases before the Supreme Court while working in the U.S. Solicitor General’s office. Late last year, conservative commentator Molly Hemmingway — regarding Dreeeben — noted, “That the elite attorney is helping Democrats with their 2024 campaign strategy of lawfare is significant and showcases how much coordination between key Democrat operatives is behind this Soviet-style attempt to imprison President Joe Biden’s political opponents.”

TikTok Parent Firm Says It Prefers Ban to Sale, Protects China’s Algorithm.

TikTok’s Chinese-owned parent company, ByteDance, would prefer the United States government ban the social media app rather than sell it to a non-Chinese buyer. According to Reuters, citing four anonymous sources, ByteDance does not wish to part with control over the app’s algorithm, which it views as critical to the success of its network of technology ventures.

ByteDance has signaled it intends to pursue legal action against the Biden government to halt the newly signed law, forcing it to divest from TikTok or face the app’s ban. While TikTok only accounts for a relatively small share of ByteDance’s overall revenue, its algorithm, which determines what content is promoted to users and encourages continued engagement on the app, is far more valuable. As Americans only account for a small portion of the app’s overall user base, ByteDance prefers shuttering its U.S. presence instead of losing control of TikTok’s algorithm.

The Chinese company denied earlier reports on Thursday it was exploring avenues to sell the TikTok social media app. On Wednesday, TikTok’s CEO Shou Zi Chew said he expects the company to win its legal challenge against the divestment law. However, the National Pulse previously reported that House Republicans worked with officials at the Department of Justice to ensure the language of the law would make it difficult to overturn in court.

As it stands, ByteDance has until January 19, 2025, to find a buyer for the TikTok app. The U.S. government, however, could extend the deadline an additional three months if it believes ByteDance is close to making a sale. If ByteDance chooses not to sell or cannot reach an agreement with a purchaser, the U.S. ban on TikTok will take effect.
