5:04Now PlayingAccording to new reports, Doug Logan, the CEO of the Cyber Ninjas firm that was hired to perform the Arizona ballot audit 2 years ago, has still failed to produce thousands of text messages that he was ordered by a court to turn over a year ago. Some of the text messages involve Republicans both in the state and out, many of whom have been close allies of Donald Trump. Something is being hidden from the public, and we deserve to know what that is, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Well, folks, we have even more insanity out of the state of Arizona. And believe it or not, this actually has nothing to do with what's happening with Carrie Lake right now in her idiotic little trial. Nope. This actually goes all the way back to the 2020 presidential election in Arizona and the resulting cyber ninjas audit that took place, that revealed that Oopsy Daisy Biden actually won by a bigger margin than they had previously counted. But here's what's happening right now in the state of Arizona. According to a new report from Arizona Central, Doug Logan, the c e o of Cyber Ninjas was ordered last year by a judge to turn over literally all documents, text messages, emails, communications of any kind that he had with anyone while they were conducting the audit. And of course, any information relating to the audit before the audit happened.
And as of right now, Logan has turned over. How many is it? 39,000 messages. It's a lot. But unfortunately, they have now confirmed that he has not turned over roughly 3000 communications. Those communications include 70 messages from Randy Pullen, a former state, g o p, chairman and spokesperson for the election review. These include 10 messages he sent September 20th and 21st of 2021, just days before Logan issued his final report to the Senate, 700 messages from Pennsylvania lawyer Stephanie Lambert. Now, Lambert was not Logan's lawyer, but she was someone who participated in election challenges in her home state and in other states. And any messages in a key eight day span from July 23rd to 29th of 20 20, 1 of the tens of thousands of messages made public from January to April, 2022. Uh, not one came from this time, not even with reductions. The gap came with no explanation.
So we're just to assume that Doug Logan did not communicate with a single human being for any purpose whatsoever from July 23rd through July 29th. Um, that's most likely not humanly possible, I don't think. He was pulling an Aaron Rodgers and going on a darkness retreat for nine days. And it is important to remember what the judge had told him. This was the ruling from the judge in April of last year. The judge, uh, judge Michael Kemp of the Maricopa County Superior Court said he needs to turn over everything, every email, every text, everything. The issue of public records has been clearly resolved. These are public records. There is no more dispute over that, that is the law of the case, period. The judge said, now, at one point, Logan was fined, uh, held in contempt and fined $50,000 a day for dragging his feet on turning over the
Information that he was required to turn over. And eventually that contempt charge was lifted. But now we find out that he is still withholding at least 3000 messages, some of them to big powerful players in that election audit in Arizona, something doesn't smell right to me. If you have nothing to hide, you would've turned those messages over. But instead, it's very obvious that you cherry picked certain messages to not hand over to the courts, to the state. There is something in those messages that Doug Logan clearly doesn't want people to see. And if maybe it was just an accident and he genuinely forgot, then okay, turn 'em over. Now let's put this issue to rest.
