Arizona Ballot Audit Contractor Is Apparently Refusing To Turn Over Reports To Congress

According to reports, the company overseeing the ballot audit in Arizona - Cyber Ninjas - has blown past a deadline set by Congress to turn over information regarding their activities. The deadline was actually on July 28th, so the deadline is now several weeks in the past. Congress is growing impatient, but they don't yet appear ready to take any actions to stop this farce. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

On July 28th, cyber ninjas, the group conducting the Arizona ballot audit July 28th. They were supposed to turn over documents and reports to the democratic controlled house oversight and reform

Committee. It

Is now August 12th today, and they still, according to reports have not turned over any of those reports. It's

A little fishy, isn't it? You know, you're now two weeks past

You, you were supposed to turn all this over and you just haven't done it. That is of course, according to congressional aides to the Democrats

On this committee saying

They haven't gotten anything from cyber ninjas. And of course, Congress about to go on their little recess, which has been shortened. I think they only get two weeks now, old God, but they're still going to go on their recess and probably let cyber ninjas continue to do whatever the hell it is they're doing over there in Arizona, which actually they've moved a lot of it to a lab in the woods

In Montana. And, uh, just

Not turn over these reports, these documents

To Congress, y'all gotta do better. You can't

Just let this group not turn this over. If of course these reports are to be believed. And again, because it's coming from these congressional aides, uh, to the people on the committee, we have no reason to doubt their recollection of the events here. Unless of course, they're just lying to the press for fun.

So, you know, either way, the point is Congress had

Shown a little bit of initiative here trying to figure out just what the heck is really going on over there in Arizona, especially with this company, doing a ballot on it, even though that's not what they've ever done before, they've already cost the state $3 million because they, uh, ruined or it's suspected that they ruined the state's vote. Machines actually vote counting machines by accidentally Insta installing malware on them. So they've cost the state 3 million. They're not turning over reports based on what we know so far. And if I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me. You know, if you're at cyber ninjas and you say, well, no, hold up. We have gotten these reports. Great. Let us know that everybody's reporting right now that you haven't, that you blew past the deadline,

But here's the thing we need these reports. And

So if cyber ninjas has turned them over, Chris needs to go, or at least the oversight and reform committee need to come out and do some kind of press conference and be like, okay, listen, here's what's happening. Here's what we know about this Arizona ballot audit. Maybe they found some things, maybe they didn't either way tell us one way or the other, right? And the fact that they haven't done that. And the fact that Congress has not refuting these reports lends more credence to cyber, not turning over this crap.

The whole thing is a farce folks. We know it's a farce. I'm sure the

Folks at cyber ninjas probably understand at this point that it is a farce,

But they're getting paid to do it. And they've been doing this since April we're in the fifth month of this ballot audit and recent

Reports have indicated that the end may be in sight,

But who knows at this point, we

Don't know what's going on. We don't know what they found. Although, lack of press conferences from cyber ninjas indicates they found nothing.

We don't know when it's going to end.

We don't even have a full, clear picture of who the

Hell is paying for this. We know

That a bunch of mega donors from the Trump campaign have been pile up pouring

Money into this. There's far too many questions and sure

As hell not enough answers at this point, we need to know exactly what has happened every step

Of the way from the funding to the people doing the audit. And right now we have virtually nothing.
