If you\u2019re not a lawyer, you might buy it. But if you know just the tiniest bit about the law, it\u2019s frankly embarrassing to see non-lawyer journalists repeatedly writing this, pretending to be authoritative and objective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>First-year law students learn the federal rules of evidence, which have state versions. There are 68 rules of evidence under mostly five broad categories, and one of those categories is \u201ctestimonial evidence.\u201d This usually is presented in the form of sworn witness statements and can come from eyewitnesses or experts. It\u2019s admissible with a proper foundation. For an eyewitness, their \u201copinion is reasonably based on their perception,\u201d and it\u2019s \u201chelpful in understanding the facts of the case or the witness&#8217;s testimony.\u201d For an expert witness, the foundation is the person \u201cis classified as an expert witness who has specialized knowledge of the evidence presented at the trial.\u201d So it\u2019s easy to get admitted into evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Detractors point out that witness testimony isn\u2019t admissible if it\u2019s hearsay, which is defined as someone discussing what someone else said. But there are several exceptions to this rule that allow the testimony to be admitted, such as if it\u2019s an \u201cadmission against interest.\u201d So if a Maricopa County Elections employee testifies about wrongful statements by another employee, since it\u2019s a type of whistleblowing it\u2019s considered an admission against interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Previous election lawsuits in 2020 challenging voter disenfranchisement and suppression were stymied due to other reasons, not lack of evidence. It\u2019s dishonest for the MSM to pretend otherwise. Judges found vague technicalities to throw them out, afraid of having their careers destroyed since the left dominates much of the legal system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s a poorly kept secret within the legal system that federal district court judges in particular deliberately look for reasons to throw cases out. Popular reasons that judges can make work in most circumstances include lack of standing, wrong jurisdiction, and untimely. These were\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Post-election_lawsuits_related_to_the_2020_U.S._presidential_election\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">almost exclusively used<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0as reasons to dismiss the 2020 election lawsuits. Judges found the strangest, narrowest, or most distorted interpretations of state statutes to throw lawsuits out as untimely, which is bizarre when you consider serious election fraud constitutes felonies; that kind of crime should not have the equivalent of short statutes of limitations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Witness testimony alone is used to send people to the death penalty.

Why are thousands of affidavits from people with a lot to lose \u2014 getting doxxed, fired, and death threats \u2014 ignored as if they aren\u2019t even real? Does anyone believe thousands of people are making these reports? The statistical odds of it merely being a coincidence are mind-numbing.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trump-endorsed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/arizonasuntimes.com\/2022\/12\/10\/kari-lake-files-lawsuit-loaded-with-evidence-contesting-election-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">filed<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0a lengthy lawsuit on Friday challenging the results of the state\u2019s botched election, where thousands of Republicans on Election Day in Maricopa County ran into complications voting, and based on what they saw doubt their votes were counted. The complaint cited extensive witness testimony regarding wrongdoing, including 90% of mismatched signatures just swept under the rug and approved instead of being \u201ccured\u201d to ensure they were legitimate. Other witness testimony cited a lack of chain of custody for 298,942 ballots that were delivered to a third-party voter signature verification service. That is a class 2 misdemeanor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Just because a judge comes up with a bogus technical reason to throw out a lawsuit doesn\u2019t mean there was never any evidence produced. Some of the reasons the 2020 lawsuits went nowhere were because the election attorneys were targeted with disciplinary actions, as in Wisconsin Voters Alliance v. Pence. The attorneys were only too grateful to drop the case to avoid worse discipline. They weren\u2019t just any attorneys either, but part of the respected Thomas More Society\u2019s Amistad Project. The judge who scared them into withdrawing the case was appointed by President Barack Obama, James Boasberg. The 65 Project, which appears to exist to drive conservative attorneys out of the practice of law, has\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/townhall.com\/columnists\/rachelalexander\/2022\/12\/05\/the-left-is-using-lawfare-including-threats-of-prosecution-to-ignore-massive-voter-disenfranchisement-n2616721\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">preemptively<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0submitted bar complaints against many of the election attorneys filing lawsuits over this election. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Does anyone believe that the top conservative election attorneys in the country continue to file cases in the wrong jurisdictions, that are untimely, and lack standing? Of course not. But it\u2019s easy to fool the general public which isn&#8217;t attorneys.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to take a brave judge to withstand the pressure to make up a technicality and instead address the evidence. Judges operate mostly out of the public eye and so one major decision could seal their reputation and career for the rest of their life, putting them and their families in financial jeopardy. Who wants to be known until their deathbed as the judge who ignored technical legal violations and enabled J6, as the MSM would spin it? The election lawsuits in 2020 ended up with almost exclusively Democrat and RINO judges, making their outcomes inevitable. In most jurisdictions, the presiding judge of the court gets to choose which judge hears a case, and with the legal system dominated by the left, that presiding judge usually leans left.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All eyes are on\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov\/JudicialBiographies\/judicialBio.asp?jdgID=222&#038;jdgUSID=7507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, who was assigned to Lake\u2019s lawsuit.
