Who are these Big Money people back east who bribe people not to run for office and who instill the fear of murder in people for refusing the offer and for making the offer should the offer be exposed?
Arizona GOP Chair RESIGNS Over Bombshell Audio Bribing Kari Lake to Leave Politics
"Arizona Republican Chair Jeff DeWit resigned on Wednesday in the wake of damning audio revealing him trying to bribe the state’s GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake to stay out of politics.
"In the recording, DeWit can be heard explaining to Lake that “very powerful people” in Washington are willing to pay a high price to keep her from running for office for two years.
"DeWit defended his bribe proposal in a statement and claimed Lake presented him with an ultimatum: resign or prepare for the release of an even more “damaging” recording.
"“This morning I was determined to fight for my position,” he said. “However a few hours ago I received an ultimatum from Lake’s team: Resign today or face the release of a new, more damaging recording.”
"I am resigning as Lake requested, in the hope that she will honor her commitment to cease her attacks, allowing me to return to the business sector-—a field I find much more logical and prefer over politics,” DeWit continued in the letter."

“There are very powerful people who want to keep you out,” he tells her in a conversation recorded in March 2023. “But they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way.”
“So, this conversation never happened,” he added.
Lake pushed back, saying, “This is crazy though. They should want me. I’m a great candidate. People love me. These people are corrupt.”
“Well, maybe you’re right,” DeWit agreed. “If you say no, it’s fine, it’s your choice. Don’t tell people.”
Lake said these “corrupt” people in question are going to “try to have me murdered.”
“It’s about being on the team. They want you to be on their team,” DeWit argued.
“But if they’re pushing a globalist agenda, I can’t do that,” Lake replied.
“The ask I got today from back east was: ‘Is there any companies out there or something that could just put her on the payroll to keep her out?'” he explained.
Lake indignantly shot down DeWit’s proposal.
“This is about defeating Trump and I think that’s a bad, bad thing for our country,” she said. “If they’re going to steal the election to make me and our movement go away, I’m not letting them do that.”
DeWit, who was chief operating officer on Trump’s 2020 campaign then framed it differently, asking her what dollar amount she would accept to bow out.
“Just say, is there a number at which….” he began before Lake cut him off.
“I can be bought? That’s what it’s about,” she said.
“You can take a pause for a couple of years,” DeWit insisted. “You can go right back to what you’re doing.”
“No,” she said, adding she wouldn’t take a bribe for a billion dollars.
“This is not about money, it’s about our country,” she said. “I’m willing to tell them that and they’re going to have to fucking kill me to stop me.”
DeWit later lamented that he could be killed if his bribery proposal were to get out to the public.
“I think you should go public with this and then say hey….” Lake suggested.
“No. No, no no no,” DeWit asserted. “Then I turn my key in my car and *boom*.”
“Don’t tell anybody we had this conversation,” he urged.

Was Special Counsel John Durham Part of the DOJ/FBI Coverup?
"While Special Counsel John Durham may have shown up to testify before Congress on Wednesday - where he excoriated the FBI, CIA and the Clinton campaign over Russiagate, It was Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-CA) who addressed the elephant in the room; Durham's complete lack of effort to pursue key players and facts behind the Russiagate operation.
Durham was testifying before the House Weaponization Committee to discuss the FBI's 'investigation' into then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, known as the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation, when Gaetz laid into him, accusing him of going soft on certain figures such as the FBI's former chief of counterintelligence, Bill Priestap, who avoided questioning.
Priestap would eventually admit in April 2020 to withholding information which would have rendered the Steele Dossier unuseable by the agency.
... Gaetz also asked Durham why he didn't investigate why the entire Mueller team was allowed to wipe their cellphones at the same time, before the Inspector General could review them.
"How about this fact, Mr. Durham: The entire Mueller team does a hard reset on their Apple phone, in synchronization, to wipe away evidence. Did you investigate that?" asked Gaetz.
To which Durham replied: "I regret that."
"Why didn’t you investigate it? Who gave the order on the Mueller team to wipe the phones?" Gaetz continued.
"That was not something that we were asked to look at," replied Durham.
To which Gaetz shot back: "No, that’s not true, Mr. Durham, that is not true," citing the charging document which outlined the scope of Durham's investigation, and then accusing the investigator of being "part of the coverup."
... Gaetz replied. "You didn’t investigate these, Mr. Durham. How about Andy McCabe? Did you charge him? Did you investigate him?"
"I don’t know, sir, whether or not you’ve ever had the occasion to try to investigate crimes under the rules and regulations and under the Constitution that we are bound by. … We can’t charge people because we might think something—" Durham continued.
To which Gaetz replied: "It’s not that you didn’t charge, you didn’t investigate. You didn’t investigate the Mueller team wiping their phones, and you won’t tell us who gave the orders because you’re protecting these people."
"Breitbart:
"Special Counsel John Durham confirmed to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Wednesday (6/21/2023) that former FBI Director James Comey did not share a memorandum detailing a Clinton campaign plan to tie Donald Trump to Russia with Crossfire Hurricane investigators within the FBI. "The information was kept from them," he testified."
Jordan:
Mr Durham in the summer of 2016 did our government receive intelligence that suggested secretary Clinton had approved a plan to tie president Trump to Russia?
Durham:
Yes.
Jordan:
Was that intelligence important enough for director Brennan to go brief the president of the United States, the vice president of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States and the director of the FBI?
Durham:
Yes
Jordan:
And was that intelligence put then into a memorandum a referral memorandum?
Durham:
Yes.
Jordan:
And was that memorandum then given to director Comey and agent Strzok?
Durham:
That's who is addressed to, yes.
Jordan:
Did director Comey share that memorandum with the FISA court?
Durham:
I'm sorry?
Jordan:
Did he share that memorandum with the FISA court? Did director Comey do that?
Durham:
I'm not aware of that if he did.
Jordan:
Did he share it with the with the lawyers preparing the FISA application?
Durham:
Not to my knowledge.
Jordan:
Did he share with the agents on the case, working the Crossfire Hurricane case?
Durham:
No.
Jordan:
Didn't share with the agents on the case. Can you tell the committee what happened when you took that referral memo and shared it with one of those agents specifically supervisory special agent number one?
Durham:
We interviewed the first supervisor of the crossfire investigation the operational person. We showed him the intelligence information. He indicated he had never seen it before. Uh, he immediately became uh emotional [and] got up and left the room with his lawyer. Um spent some time in the hallway; came back um and
Jordan:
He was ticked off, wasn't he? He was ticked off because this is something he should have had as an agent on the case. It's important information that the director of the FBI kept from the people doing the investigation.
"Former Justice Department special counsel John Durham said he was not aware of any evidence of collusion or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election when asked if he found any evidence to the contrary during his investigation."
“An AI-powered Dept. of Defense program named "Project Salus," run in cooperation with the JAIC (Joint Artificial Intelligence Center), has analyzed data on 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 or older.
“Data were aggregated from Humetrix, a real-time data and analytics platform that tracks health care outcomes.
“Legal analysis from Thomas Renz of Renz-Law.com is included in a breaking video interview, below. [This article has now been scrubbed from the Internet, however, the document has been downloaded and is also archived by attorneys and alternative news organizationsl.]
“The alarming findings show that the vast majority of covid hospitalizations are occurring among fully-vaccinated individuals and that outcomes among the fully vaccinated are growing worse with each passing week.
“This appears to fit the pattern of so-called Antibody Dependent Enhancement, where the treatment intervention (mRNA vaccines) is worsening health outcomes and leading to excess hospitalizations and deaths.
“… Conclusion …
"In conclusion, these data from the DoD / JAIC absolutely shatter the false narrative of Biden, Fauci, Walensky and other "authorities" who are still attempting to gaslight the American people into thinking that hospitals are filled with unvaccinated people. In reality, the vast majority of hospitalizations and deaths are occurring among those who were fully vaccinated, according to the 5.6 million people studied in this particular data set (Medicare).
“Importantly, post-vaccine health outcomes are worsening over time, meaning that the vaccines appear to be gradually damaging the immune system over subsequent months, making vaccinated individuals far more vulnerable to subsequent infections …”

"There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans."
"Time magazine has published a detailed account of what it describes as a “conspiracy” between “left-wing activists and business titans” to create “an extraordinary shadow effort” to “protect” the 2020 presidential election.
"The New York Times had reported on the effort in January, referring to the “Democracy Defense Coalition.” The Daily Beast hinted at it in the fall. But the Time article is the most in-depth report at what others suggested was going on behind the scenes."
"I know… the members of the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed are now moving in laser light fashion to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements we’ve seen overseas. Where they germinate in different parts of the country and they gain strength, and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, even libertarians. And unfortunately, I think there has been this momentum that has been generated unfortunately I think of the demagogue of rhetoric of people that’s just departed government but also those who continue in the halls of Congress. So I really do think that the law enforcement, homeland security, intelligence and even the defense officials are doing everything possible to root out what seems to be a very, very serious, and insidious threat to our democracy and our republic."
