Trumpie “election official” in Georgia caught in another lie

[pdq]

A few more details from the NYT (gifted link):

One such incident took place on Jan. 7 of last year, the day after supporters of Mr. Trump stormed the Capitol, when a small team traveled to rural Coffee County, Ga.

The group included members of an Atlanta-based firm called SullivanStrickler, which had been hired by Sidney Powell, a lawyer advising Mr. Trump who is also a conspiracy theorist.

“We are on our way to Coffee County, Ga., to collect what we can from the election/voting machines and systems,” one of the company’s executives, Paul Maggio, wrote Ms. Powell on that January morning. Weeks later, Scott Hall, an Atlanta-area Trump supporter and bail bondsman who also traveled to Coffee County, said “we scanned every freaking ballot” in a recorded phone conversation.

…The new videos show members of the team inside an office handling the county’s poll pads, which contain sensitive voter data.

That’s Latham (again!) on the left.

The plaintiffs in this case…

…assailed what they called “the persistent refusal of Latham and her counsel to be straight with this court about the facts.” They accused her of downplaying her involvement with the Trump team when “she literally directed them on what to collect in the office.”

Apparently, people from Brad Raffensberger’s office were there too, although they too seem to be suffering memory problems:

Mr. Hassinger said the secretary of state’s office had “no idea” why its investigators were at the elections office in Coffee County in early January.

…and finally, lawyers from SullivanStrickler, which was hired by Sidney Powell to hack the election machines, have said…

…it was “categorically false” that it was part of an effort that “illegally ‘breached’ servers” or other voting equipment, but that “with the benefit of hindsight, and knowing everything they know now, they would not take on any further work of this kind.”

First, we didn’t do it, and secondly, we promise to never do it again.
