Credit, Where Credit Is Due: John Hinderaker… At Least For Tonight.

…Is loudly explaining that… Team Rudy G. is not just filing dubious affidavits, but is filing (perhaps only negligently) completely, obviously FALSE affidavits in the elections suits. [John must now know that Rudy may very well be disbarred.]

But we are getting ahead of the story. Here’s what John said tonight:

“…I got an email today from a Minnesota resident, a conservative and a smart guy who is the CEO of a company, and later talked with him on the phone. He has taken the trouble to read the filings that have been made so far by Trump’s lawyers. He directed my attention to an affidavit signed by Russell Ramsland, a Texas resident who is an expert on cyber security…. [He prepared affidavits that were filed in both Georgia and Michigan cases, in the past two days.]

Here’s the problem: the townships and precincts listed in paragraphs 11 and 17 of the affidavit are not in Michigan. They are in Minnesota. Monticello, Albertville, Lake Lillian, Houston, Brownsville, Runeberg, Wolf Lake, Height of Land, Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Kandiyohi–these are all towns in Minnesota. I haven’t checked them all, but I checked a lot of them, and all locations listed in paragraphs 11 and 17 that I looked up are in Minnesota, with no corresponding township in Michigan. This would have been obvious to someone from this state, but Mr. Ramsland is a Texan and the lawyers are probably not natives of either Minnesota or Michigan.

Evidently a researcher, either Mr. Ramsland or someone working for him, was working with a database and confused “MI” for Minnesota with “MI” for Michigan. (The postal code for Minnesota is MN, while Michigan is MI, so one can see how this might happen.) So the affidavit, which addresses “anomalies and red flags” in Michigan, is based largely, and mistakenly, on data from Minnesota.

This is a catastrophic error, the kind of thing that causes a legal position to crash and burn…. Credibility once lost is hard to regain. Possibly Trump’s lawyers have already discovered this appalling error, and have undertaken to correct it. But the Ramsland Affidavit was filed in Georgia just yesterday….”

In fact, these listed towns are reliably red Minnesota townships, so I guess… Rudy is proving GOP fraud in the election (in a state… Biden carried).

It is good that — however late arriving — John sees reality: Rugy G. of 2020 is in no manner the man who was a ruthless prosecutor and later mayor in NYC some three to four decades ago.

He is just a brainless… Trumpian.

The effort will fail — and fail likely, in spectacular fashion.

Thanks for telling the truth, Mr. Hinderaker.
