On Friday, attorneys for Harrison Floyd and counsel from the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office and Fulton County met for a hearing on a defense motion to quash subpoenas. It was also, coincidentally, the three-year anniversary of “the most secure election” in American history, according to then-CISA Director Christopher Krebs, who was pushed by the mainstream Mockingbird media.
Floyd was among those charged by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in August, and notably the only person who was initially denied bond and held in the Fulton County Prison, where alone 2022 fifteen people died. Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump, was on a phone call with Trevian Kutti, who was also charged in the RICO case, as they spoke with a poll watcher at a Cobb County police station at the poll worker’s request.
Friday’s hearing considered three motions to quash subpoenas issued by Floyd’s attorneys seeking documents and evidence they consider relevant to the case. During the hearing, we heard arguments from the counsel for the Georgian Foreign Minister for the first time. He argued that the Secretary of State’s office had satisfied “two specific categories going to the State Farm Arena and the poll worker in question.” There was another category where they claimed they had no responsive records.
Counsel then claimed that the remaining requests “basically asked everything about the 2020 election.” He argued that the requests were “not specific, mostly irrelevant and super burdensome to the Bureau.” He argued that the documents are not relevant to the scheme because:
“[with] intent, state of mind is addressed from the moment of the act that gives rise to the alleged injustice. It has no retroactive effect. Murder and self-defense are about what’s going on in the actor’s mind at the moment the trigger is pulled, not later when he or she finds out that the person they shot had a knife, had a mental illness which is otherwise a Danger.“
The analogy does not refer to Floyd’s prejudices about the validity of the election. A more accurate analogy would be that the actor strong believed the person they shot “had a knife” (which is perfectly legal in Georgia, a constitutional state, but we’ll pretend “having a knife” is a crime for the sake of the lawyer’s argument) and only later confirmed they had a knife. The “thought they had a knife‘ part was missing from the equation. Floyd believed the election was stolen, attempted to investigate and now has proof that their biases may have been correct.
The Secretary of State then distinguished themselves as a separate state agency from the Public Prosecution Service, and therefore not subject to the Brady Rules and exculpatory evidence:
Judge Scott McAfee then asked Floyd’s defense counsel:
“If, let’s say, there is a smoking gun stashed in a safe at the Secretary of State’s office, and Mr. Floyd had no idea it had ever existed during the entire period of this alleged enterprise, how is that relevant then?”
The counselor replied:
“I focused on point 1 because of the concept of relevance, because in that count we…numerous references to the election lost by Donald Trump. In the introduction, the State even says that Trump not only lost Georgia, but that he and the other accused have refused to accept that Trump lost.
What happens if we show that Trump won?“
And the lawyer does have a point. The criminal complaint filed by Fani Willis states:
•17 times That President Trump lost the 2020 elections, including in Georgia and
Fulton County;
• 49 times what the suspects were doing “consciously” And “on purpose” in different
activities to overturn the 2020 election while allegedly doing so knew their sayings
about the election results were false;
• 113 times that attempts were made to ‘unlawfully’ change the outcome of the case
elections, including in Georgia;
• 145 times that the defendants attempted to announce the November 3, 2020 election results
contrary to the implication that the results cannot be questioned; And
• 182 times that the RICO defendants engaged in “false statements” Re
“fraud” in and around the November 2020 elections
If President Trump were indeed to win Georgia, and they can prove it, this would be the easiest path to victory for those charged in this politicized prosecution.
Finally, Fulton County counsel argued that producing the documents would be an arduous task that could take “months.” He further claimed that the ballots would reveal personally identifying information such as names and dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and even some Social Security numbers. Defendant’s counsel countered that they did not want any personally identifying information and that they were only interested in “the count.” It also notes that the personal information is only on certain election records, and not on the ballots themselves that were among the requested items.
But during the defense’s response, another important claim emerged. It’s something The Gateway Pundit has reported on several times, most recently in my four-part series on Fulton County’s handling of the 2020 election: Fulton County has a “big discrepancy…the reason why they don’t want to turn [records] is over, because, I argue, many of the things we asked for, they simply don’t have that. And they don’t want to tell you. Not at all. Because for obvious reasons it affects the certification of the elections themselves.”
Fulton County has already essentially admitted that it failed to properly preserve the majority of in-person ballots from the Nov. 3 election in a Requests for Admissions in the federal case Curling v. Raffensperger. e
In opposing the motion to quash subpoenas filed by Floyd’s legal team, they reference many of the issues reported by The Gateway Pundit in the aforementioned series. This includes a total of “more than 41,079 presidential votes [that] should have been excluded from the final count of votes in Fulton County because they were not reconciled or could not be properly validated as legitimate votes.”
It also quotes a brief summary from expert witness Professor Philip Stark of UC Berkley and the inventor of the risk mitigation audit. Prof. Stark refers to “the loss by hundreds of thousands of image files from the first machine count and from almost 18,000 images from the second machine count” as “difficult to understand.”
The motion (below) was 80 pages in total, but the first 13 pages are the actual motion, followed by 65 pages of supporting documents.
