Transparent Bullshit

11.16.2020. Michigan Secretary of State (SOS) Jocelyn Bronson (D) made the following announcement through a Tweet:

So SOS dumps documents relating to the 2020 election in Michigan on to the legislature. Why couldn’t this announcement simply say “we’ve complied with the legislature’s subpoena”? I think it’s because there be BULLSHIT within. Let’s break it down.

SOS’s Commitment? Questionable. If this was truly a commitment to transparency the announcement of transparency would not have been needed. It simply would have happened. Actions speak louder than words. If the actions are true there is no need to repeat. Repeating is only for show.

Underscore the fairness” Much like the SOS’s “Fact Check” page regarding the electoral process, these 1,100 documents are a mere smoke screen. I would bet my life savings that they will not show any fraud, at least to the scale of the accusations .

Let’s pretend just for a moment and say that the election was wrought with fraud. People did whatever people did. I can guarantee that no one, not one person, wrote a memo. It’s not going to show up in 1,100 or 2,200 or a 22 billion pages. If someone committed fraud with the votes they certainly committed fraud filling out the paperwork. If they lied about the ballot count they lied about following procedures. So the idea that this act underscores fairness is complete BULLSHIT!

Now the kickers. Questionable subpoena and partisan agenda. These comments at the end of the Tweet point to the real motive behind the announcement. It’s not transparency and it is not fairness. It is an attempt to undermine the legitimate oversite of the legislature. (Remember the justification of investigation by the House of Reps in D.C. – Oversite) It is an attempt to garner sympathy from her head-nodding, partisan supporters. Its a smoke screen to turn attention away from the investigation and litigation of the 2020 election in Michigan.

So I call BULLSHIT on this Tweet and Madam Secretary of State has a certain odor about her.
