An amazing and terrifying document was release on Friday by the Jan. 6 Committee Investigating the activities of the Jan.6 attack on the Capitol. Its release reveals for the first time that while the country was horrified by the events of that day, none of us knew how close this country came that day to losing our democracy.

The efforts by former President Trump and a circle of people around him attempting to allow him to cling to power amount not just to an attack by angry followers, they reveal the depth and multi-pronged planning going on behind the scenes:
- In at least five states, to set up fraudulent electors (Oh, some might quibble and call them alternate electors, but the fact is, they attempted to present themselves as the legitimate electoral college representatives of their state), replacing those representing the factual Biden wins in those states. They actually submitted the nearly identical fake documents, which, thankfully, were identified as fake.
- The pressure put on former Vice President Pence to “simply” reject the elector votes from five states, which would have thrown the resolution of the election into the then-Republican-controlled House of Representatives based on fake information.
- The plan to call on military elements of our armed forces to seize voting systems across the country under the false pretense that there had been voter fraud and the machines were responsible.
This is the draft of a Jan. 6 statement prepared for former President Donald Trump to read regarding the seizing of voting machines. We don’t know what National Security Presidential Memoranda 14 and 21 in the proclamation below are — but the person who prepared this document did. The fact that it was never given is something for which we can thank God and any other higher power you follow, as well as the few remaining ethical consciences that prevented this from happening:
December 16, 2020
draft: PRESIDENTIAL FINDINGS
TO PRESERVE COLLECT AND ANALYZE NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION
REGARDING THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION
By the authority vested in me as President of the United States pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including Article 2 section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, Executive Orders 123444, 143545, National Security Presidential Memoranda 14 and 21, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA) and all applicable Executive Orders derived therefrom, the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C.16011 et seq.) (NBA), and section 401 of title 4, United States Code:
I, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, find that the forensic report of the Antrim County, Michigan voting machines, released December 14, 2020, and other evidence submitted to me in support of this order, provide probable cause sufficient to require action under the authorities cited above because of evidence of international and foreign interference in the November 4, 2020, election. Dominion Voting Systems and related companies are owned or heavily controlled and influenced by foreign agents, countries, and interests. The forensic report prepared by experts found that “the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud.” The report found the election management system to be wrought with unacceptable and unlawful vulnerabilities––including access to the internet––probable cause to find evidence of fraud, and numerous malicious actions.
There is also probable cause to find that Dominion Voting Systems, Smartmatic, Electronic Systems & Software, and Hart Inter Civic, Clarity Election Night Reporting, Edison Research, Sequoia, Scytl, and similar or related entities, agents or assigns, have the same flaws and were subject to foreign interference in the 2020 election in the United States. There is probable cause to find these systems bear the same crucial code “features” and defects that allowed the same outside and foreign interference in our election, in which there is probable cause to find votes were in fact altered and manipulated contrary to the will of the voters. Dominion Voting Systems is based in Toronto, Canada, and assigns its intellectual property including patents on its firmware and software to Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank Corporation (HSBC), a bank with its foundation in China and its current headquarters in London, United Kingdom. The Dominion Voting system is owned and controlled by foreign entities. Multiple expert witnesses and cyber experts identified acts of foreign interference in the election prior to November 4, 2020 and continued in the following weeks. In fact, there is probable cause to find a massive cyberattack by foreign interests on our crucial national infrastructure surrounding our election– not the least of which was the hacking of the voter registration system by Iran. (B.O. 143500 of May 11. 2017)
Just days prior to the election of November 4, 2020, federal Judge Totenberg found, after three days of testimony including by Dominion executive Eric Coomers: There are “true risks posed by the new BMD [Ballot Marking Device of Georgia’s
Dominion Voting Systems] voting system as well as its manner implementation. These risks are neither hypothetical nor remote under the current circumstances. The insularity of the Defendants’ and Dominion’s stance here in evaluation and management of the security and vulnerability of the BMD system does not benefit the public or citizens’ confident exercise of the franchise. The stealth vote alteration or operational interference risks posed by malware that can be effectively invisible to detection, whether intentionally seeded or not, are high once implanted, if equipment and software systems are not properly protected, implemented, and audited.
The modality of the BMD systems’ capacity to deprive voters of their cast votes without burden, long wait times, and insecurity regarding how their votes are actually cast and recorded in the unverified QR code makes the potential constitutional deprivation less transparently visible as well, at least until any portions of the system implode because of a system breach, breakdown, or crashes. Any operational shortcuts now in setting up or running election equipment or software creates other risks that can adversely impact the
voting process.
“The Plaintiffs’ national cybersecurity experts convincingly present evidence that this is not a question of “might this actually ever happen?” – but when it will happen, especially if further protective measures are not taken. Given the masking nature of malware and the current systems described here, if the State and Dominion simply stand by and say, “we have never seen it,” the future does not bode well.
“Still, this is year one for Georgia in implementation of this new BMD system as the first state in the nation to embrace statewide implementation of this QR barcode-based BMD system for its entire population. Electoral dysfunction – cyber or otherwise – should not be desired as a mode of proof. It may well land unfortunately on the State’s doorstep. Thee Court certainly hopes not.”

And, yet it did. Every defect and hazard of which Judge Totenberg warned happened in Georgia. Witnesses in Georgia have provided evidence of crashes, the replacement of a server, impermissible updates to the system, connections to the internet, and both Coffee and Ware counties have identified a significant percentage of votes being wrongly allocated contrary to the will of
the voter. Coffee County Georgia has refused to certify its result.
Accordingly, I hereby order:
(1) Effective immediately, the Secretary of Defense shall seize, collect, retain and analyze all machines, equipment, electronically stored information, and material records required for retention under United States Code Title 42, Sections 1T74-1T74(e), including but not limited to those identified in footnote 1. The Secretary of Defense has discretion to determine the interdiction of national critical infrastructure supporting federal elections. Designated locations will be identified in the operation order.
(2) Within 7 days of commencement of operations, the initial assessment must be provided to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The final assessment must be provided to the office of the Director of National Intelligence no later than 60 days from commencement of operations.
(3) The Director of National Intelligence shall deliver this assessment and appropriate supporting information to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.
(4) A direct liaison to be authorized to coordinate as required between the applicable U.S. Departments and Agencies.
(5) The Secretary of Defense may select by name or by unit federalization of appropriate National Guard support.
(6) The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Security will coordinate support requirements as needed from the Department of Homeland Security.
(7) Thee appointment of a Special Counsel to oversee this operation and institute all criminal and civil proceedings as appropriate based on the evidence collected and provided all resources necessary to carry out her duties consistent with federal laws and the Constitution.
It should be noted that no election fraud has ever been found, more than 60 court cases alleging voter fraud and ballot machine tampering were dismissed for lack of evidence, and the inner circle around Trump, as well as Trump himself, are being sued by Dominion Voting Systems, as well as a separate suit made by their VP in charge of the product development Dr. Eric Coomer, who was named in the unproven charges of voting machine fraud.
