On Thursday, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that the leading contractor of Arizona’s audit of the Maricopa County 2020 election results must turn over documents related to the effort.

The Hill reports:

American Oversight, a watchdog group, has been seeking documents regarding the county’s recount and audit, which was initiated because former President Trump disputed the 2020 election results in battle ground states like Arizona.

The watchdog group had been involved in a legal fight with Arizona’s Senate over the public release of the documents, The Associated Press reported.

“The Senate defendants, as officers and a public body under the (records law), have a duty to maintain and produce public records related to their official duties,” the judges wrote on Thursday, according to The Arizona Republic. “This includes the public records created in connection with the audit of a separate governmental agency, authorized by the legislative branch of state government and performed by the Senate’s agents.”

The judges wrote in their decision that government contractors, such as Florida-based company Cyber Ninjas, are still subject to Arizona Public Records laws, which Republicans had argued against.

The judges wrote, “The requested records are no less public records simply because they are in the possession of a third party, Cyber Ninjas,” according to the Arizona Republic.

  1. BIDEN FAILURES CONTINUE, Biden, has become the loose cannon that can’t be allowed to continue, this person has lost all American values, He has forfeited his right, to any position of power, If he won’t resign it’s time for impeachment, let’s get this done, before it’s too late. THE FREE WORLD STAGE WILL NEVER TRUST ANOTHER DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT, BIDEN, HAS SEEN TO THAT FOREVER, WHAT A CORRUPT DISLOYAL PERSON, NO SOUL NO HONOR, NO LOYALTY, NO ALLIES, JOE AND HIS LACK OF MORAL TURPITUDE, Time to hold the Biden family responsible for their crimes against our Nation, Time to hold his radical cabinet members responsible for their crimes against the American people, Time for full accountability on acceptance of money from foreign sources, who are adversarial to our Governmental and it’s ideals. principals. Biden crime family has been allowed to continue for too long. Time has come to hold the Biden’s for criminal acts against the American people. The Country can not continue on this path without the full input of Congress to hold the executive branch to the laws they created and that are in place to stop incompetent self elected dictatorships from taking our country and overreaching criminal political obfuscation by a mindless leader.

    1. When do we call the actions of Domestic Enemies of the USA (i.e.- Democrats), those who hate the country and most of its peoples; who sabotage the country and its resources, when do we brand them traitors and mete out appropriate consequences?

      When?

      1. You must have the political power to make it happen, as in you need to have the majority in the House and Senate.

        1. How many times have we heard we must have the Senate and House and when delivered they did NOTHING!

          1. We had the Presidency , Senate and House and the Congress sat on their thumbs and did nothing.

          2. The REAL POWER is in control over ALL of our politicians!
            They can’t do Shit except carry out their Orders!

            GET IT?!

            It’s THAT Bad a situation/predicament that WE ARE IN.
            TRAGIC, but TRUE.

          3. That’s the reason why they hate president Trump so much,because he was/is against ALL what they represent! #AmericaFIRST! These are the candidates WE MUST SUPPORT & WORK WITH!

          4. This is truth and the super rich have that control… they have the money. they buy everything. the leading super rich is soros and he is a nazi. that shows exactly the path that we are taking now because of soros and company he buys everything.. yes both parties.. this is the biggest “dog and pony show” ever…

          5. Yes, the Money RULES, there can be NO Doubting THAT. That’s the way it has ALWAYS been with Mankind.
            What they WANT, they GET. We ARE…. pretty much at Their mercy.
            If they are indeed SICK in their Wants….. we are in a world of Hurt…. and it appears that right now they are VERY Sick.

          6. The vast majority of them where working for the corrupt establishement so; WE MUST SUPPORT THOSE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP agenda America First! Send hom(or prison!) McConnels,McCarthies,Murkovskies,Grahams,Romneys & so on.

          7. The problem was Paul Ryan and the other never trumpers like Romney. See the list of 19 who voted for the humungous spending bill a few weeks ago. Mitch McConnell included.

          8. you mean Paul RINO? the yankee cheese head that wrote the checks for the communist half breed from Kenya? Amerika has been evil for 160 years… 660 000 people dying to destroy the republic means nothing to you?

          9. you have nothing, IF the deep state lives. You are a slave to the deep state. WISE UP !

          10. Simple to analyze …

            During the GOP control of all three branches of Government, the House and Senate decided to have their MAJOR hissy fit over an outsider (Donald J. Trump) … coming into their world and upsetting the apple cart .. so to speak.

            Hence, this was the Genesis for the “Hate Trump” movement identified by massive outbreaks of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome).

          11. What is more important is to vote out ALL the RINO’S. We must vote in the primaries where we have the opportunity to make change.

          12. BINGO! That’s EXACTLY the same I SAID! President Trump agenda America First candidates are those who must support! & send all other mafia elite establishment career politicians OUT!

          13. I hope some of those who voted for Biden are waking up. If the RINO’s don’t vote for Trump policies we can kiss this country good bye forever.

          14. I am still amazed that Biden still gets elected. The lies he told in the past…MANY of them…didn’t damage him at all. He shouldn’t be able to be elected to dog catcher!

          15. Biden had big time protector in the MSM. They produced the lies to protect him. They are as guilty as the democrat party. How can anyone fix that problem. Unfortunately the “useful idiots” still listen to them.

          16. Why aren’t RHINOS dismissed from the GOP as they obviously do not support the Republican Agenda that their constituents believed they did & voted them into office? Republicans never stick together to defeat the damaging legislation Dems support & everybody, including Dems, will be negatively impacted for decades!

          17. Look who chairs the natl GOP…..Ronnie ROMNEY McDaniel. This is “Mittens” niece.

            Not one more dime from this house will go to the natl party…..only to individual candidates with a proven America 1st record.

            At the natl level, there is no difference between the parties. We were all fooled into thinking we had a choice

          18. The GOP doesn’t like Trump. They never did. He was just their ticket to hold on to power. We need to twist it and wring out all the RINO’s. Just need to be sure they are not two timing Trump.

          19. That’s the reason why WE MUST SEND TO OUR GOVERNMENT ONLY America First candidates, not the establishment corrupt ones! And quit the fight ISN’T an option,because in that case if better if we die right now!

          20. We the people have a DUTY TO THROW OFF THE GOVERNMENT.
            WE DONT NEED SHIT BUT GUTS AND OUR WEAPONS.
            READ THE DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE. SECOND PARAGRAPH.

        2. You do realize all this crap about how we need political power to remove Biden and hold him accountable…. etc…… it’s just that. CRAP. This is a government of the People, by the People, FOR the People. If the people aren’t being listened too, then the people have the moral obligation, the responsibility, to remove said people from places of government. So, WE THE PEOPLE, have the responsibility, to end this travesty.

          1. the question is how. until voting systems are hack proof we can only hold a revolution and currently our armed forces are controlled by leftist obam/sors globalists. Obama is the real power – he is calling all these shots. Look at the similarity of Afg and Benghazi (stand downs).

          2. Exactly…how can we trust the voting system? We don’t have much time and it looks like they are keeping us locked down so they can insist mail in ballots are mandatory. We’ll be doomed. If Kamala becomes president we are DOUBLE DOOMED!

          3. We can get Trump to run for house rep and with the republicans in control we then can impeach Biden if he is still in and Harris and trump becomes President

          4. Right!! But in order to hold them responsible we need the majority in the Congress. Fire the b—-h Pelousi. She thinks she’s queen.

        3. Not if u have “We the People” and we do! At anytime “We the People” could stand up (which we never do) and remove a tyrannical government if it’s proven they’re not working in our best interest, and for several years now, it been more than proven that they are not operating with our best interest in mind! We employee them, its not the other way around and when “We the People” actually care enough and stop being lazy thinking “This is the United States the magical land where everything just works itself for the best and turns out peachy without my involvement” we can absolutely remove, indict, imprison, and replace these tyrannical treasonous traitors and start rebuilding immediately! It’s actually our duty to do so! Power of the People!

          1. We tried Jan.6 and look what happened. Many people are still in D.C. jail because they stood up for what they believed.

        4. Read the Constitution. We the PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORCE THEM OUT OF OFFICE . IT DOES NOT SAY WE HAVE TO VOTE THEM OUT. IT SAYS FORCE.
          It is time for WE THE PEOPLE TO DO OUR DUTY
          ” That when ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT becomes destructive if these ends( they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Right ghts, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To SECURE THESE RIGHTS, governments are instituted among men driving a heir just powers from the consent of THE GOVERED.
          THAT WHEN ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT BECAUSE MES DESTRUCTIVE THE F THESE ENDS IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR TO ABOLISH IT ABD TO ESTABLISHNEW GOVERNMENT, LAYING THE FOUNDATION ON SUCH PRINCIPALS AND ORGANIZE ITS POWERS IN SUCH FORM AS TO THEM SHALL SEEM MOST LIKELY TO EFFECT THEIR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS.
          BUT WHEN A LONG TRAIN OF ABUSES AND USURPATIONS, PURSUIN INVARIABLY THE SAME OBJECT EVINCES A DESIGN TO REDUCE THEM UNDER ABSOLUTE DESPOTISM IT IS THE RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY TO THROW(GET THAT? THROW) OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT, AND TO PROVIDE NEW GUARDS FOR THEIR FUTURE SECURIY. Such has been the patient of these colonies.
          TIME TO GET OFF OUR ASSES AND FIGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY

          1. Yes, and like I JUST SAID, TELL US JUST HOW WE ARE TO DO THAT!!! 🤷‍♂️ We KNOW WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO____ HOW DO WE DO IT?!!!

          2. There is no way we can with the voting system we have now. The State ‘s have control of the computers they use to count the ballots . Awhile back I checked by computer my status with the election board as to whether I am still listed as a Republican and the answer was I wasn’t listed as a voter. But a few days later I got a ballot in the mail with my name and numbers of the ballot , but still I don’t know the answer to my quistion

          3. We don’t have to vote All we have to do is organize and take control similar to Boston tea party and nixon

      2. What liberals ‘hate’ is a nation enjoying prosperity borne out of individual efforts, freedom, opportunity, and administered by a government constrained under provisions of a Constitution. They MUST determine that certain elements of the population are not being considered as contributors to the economic system, and enjoin the government in a campaign to forge the ‘equality’ of those elements by force. Once liberals gain the majority of political power by gerrymandering districts to maximize their voting constituencies (They’ll even import those constituencies, if necessary..) they’ll start introducing radical ‘change’ among the populations to effect complete control of the citizenry, resources, borders and the economy. America has not quite reached that stage, but we’re definitely headed in that direction.

      3. maybe after the republic that Lincoln destroyed, is restored? state have become “free and sovereign” again? or all communist here are dead and burned/buried?

    2. Sad !!!
      Republican Party and leadership are totally corrupted!!! They let 2020 election be stolen from 75 million plus Americans. 2020 election was totally fraud Biden didn’t get 80 million votes.
      Our country is being controlled by unelected judges and corrupted FBI and all intelligence agencies.
      Every elected Republican should be calling out 2020 election was stolen and President Trump Won. Republicans leadership are corrupted or scared of FBI Director Wray and CIA individuals.
      We now know Top military are corrupted also.
      We need to call and email all our worthless GOP Senator’s and congress people. Make them get behind the investigation of the totally corrupted 2020 election.

      1. The GOP let the rigged election stand. They bent over and parted their cheeks and took it up the wazoo without any Vaseline.

        1. C’mon guys! They Can’t do ANYthing! It’s Aaaaall OUT OF THEIR POWER! It’s Aaaaall OUT OF OUR POWER! We have NO Power!
          Hell, we can No Longer even have an ELECTION!!! It is ALL Orchestrated NOW. After Hillary got defeated, they simply HAD TO KICK IT INTO HIGH GEAR TO NEVER ALLOW THAT SHIT TO HAPPEN TO THEM AGAIN!!!
          We are BEING CONTROLLED by the DEEP STATE. We are SCREWED and will now reap What we DESERVE for All of our throwing God OUT of Everything and the MAJORITY of us being Blatantly CORRUPT!!!

          1. Fenton is right. Sadsack Osama distended the Federal Government into a nightmare Mega-State filled with unelected bureaucrats that do what they will, as they will, when they will. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and YES, Virginia, there IS a DEEP STATE, good at following orders, in fact so brainwashed and groomed they can execute orders which are expected and implied without issuance.

          2. Please go to Arizona state senator Wendy Rogers Twitter page and sign to decertify the election.Please share on social media.

    3. Please go to Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers Twitter page and sign to decertify the election.Impeachment would take a long time, likely not proceed due to democrat control and if it did succeed in a year or two democrats will have destroyed our country and we will be left with Harris. Decertification is our only hope and the Maricopa County audit results will be released soon.

    4. What needs to be done is a complete emptying out of that shit-hole Washington, D.C. It’s the unelected bureaucrats embedded in the government who need to go! As long as these corrupt rats remain, it won’t matter who is president or which party controls the 3 branches of government.

      1. The problem is, how do we do that? All the top and middle managers are the problem, and the lower level people are protected by unions and so many layers of paperwork that has to be done to get rid of them, the good guys don’t have enough hours in the day to get rid of them all. A good start would be to ask all the upper and mid level guys who they voted for, and fire all of them with the D in their party name. Have to find out who the R guys voted for would be a bit more of a problem .

    5. I understand what you mean but I just want to point out that he is guilty of “moral turpitude” (a bad thing). That’s something one does not want to have.

    6. What about Harris? She is incompetent,but no dementia. She would continue to make mistakes and attempt to further socialize or nation. Both should go, but then her is Pelosi. Several states claim they have enough fraudulent votes identified to remove the Bien administration. this is what is needed.

  2. You know shit is bad when the public has to go through the court system to see what the government of the people is doing and why.

    1. BAD?! No, we are Firmly at HORRIBLY CORRUPT.
      We are NO LONGER A FREE DEMOCRACY.

      Democrats are the most UNSCRUPULOUS, CROOKED, TOTALLY CORRUPT form of
      “Absolute EVIL” to EVER Invade the United States of America____ and MUST BE ERADICATED!

      1. Please go to Arizona state senator Wendy Rogers Twitter page and sign to decertify the election.Please share on social media.

  3. Good Morning apologise for saying this Nothing Is Going To Happen I Could Be Wrong But to much Money 💰💰Behind This Administration he should be Tarred And Feathered And Ran Out Of Town On A Rail

  4. The major question here is what is the court up to?? #1. once they have it , it will be announced or
    #2 when they get it they burry it to say state face??? or the possible
    #3rd actually read it publicly and….. then what??????

  5. I found the article confusing. What are the likely effects of this? The printed letter from Karen Fann is about taxes not elections.

  6. When will the American people wake up??? After Trump won the 3016 election, the democrats said they will do whatever it takes to see another Republican NEVER holds the office of the President ever again!!! Or didn’t anyone pick up on that??? We are a Communist country, ruled over by democrat dictator’s – America has become the very evil we have fought against since our founding!!! And it all started with Johnson in 1964!!!

  7. American Oversight is softballed in this article as a watchdog ground looking into government corruption. Actually it is a progressive front organization. In fact, at “the end of 2018, at least 11 of American Oversight’s 17 staffers and three of its four board members have known career histories with major left-wing organizations, Democratic Party campaigns, or Democratic officials.” So don’t rely on American Action News for accuracy and forthrightness in their supposed reporting.

  8. This article makes no sense. There is nothing material in it. The watchdog group is a shill for the dems on the elections board. It is not clear but it seems they are demanding documents to refute the entire audit, the report from which was released the following day, Friday, August 20. And the senate’s response is about some proposition related to taxes, completely unrelated to the title of the article. You should either rewrite or just retract the whole article. It does not add to any discussion about the audit that’s clear and pertinent.

  9. On the Fox News show, The Story, today, Au. 19, @ 12:16 pm PDT, Gen. Jack Keane said that
    the Taliban has defeated the USA. He was and is wrong. Our, apparently, inept
    president caused this nation to commit Hari-kari by exiting Afghanistan.  

    Prior to the Afghanistan fiasco, he had done enough to be ousted from the
    Presidency.

    If the president doesn’t resign, he must be Impeached, or the 25th Amendment
    must be invoked.

    It must be recognized that any action, committed by Congress or the Executive Branch,
    that damages this nation must be treated as a treasonous act.
    Examples: 
    Stopping the Keystone pipeline 
    Not protecting our borders
    Afghanistan withdrawal 

    Where would we be had just those three actions not occurred?

    I will, sincerely, appreciate opposing thoughts.

  10. The vote is to impeach Biden. Obama was the only president before Biden who tried to destroy America from within. We are not going to let that happen. Get rid Of Biden, Obama, Clintons, and all of the current Democratic leaders. They are tainted with hatred for our country.

    1. C’mon, folks, CATCH ON!
      The ONLY WAY that we will get Biden AND the Totally Corrupt Democrat Party scum OUT, is an out ‘n out REVOLUTION by “We the People”!
      SOMEONE DEVISE a SUCCESSFUL Way to do THAT, and we will ALL, MORE than Enough!, be Ready to PARTICIPATE and DO OUR PART, I Assure you.

  11. Rubbish! Ther was and is corruption in this sate as in mos tothers and it is time that the hamemr comes down on them….NOT We, the People!

  12. How can the court demand documents, when the Arizona County haven’t even released they documents required for the audit.

  13. That documents of an investigation are turned over DURING THE ONGOING OF THE SAME INVESTIGATION is, to say the least, unusual. I am tempted to see this as an attempt at sabotaging the same investigation, because it gives cause to fear to the present administration which is master of the “Dept. of Justice” (which, right now, deserves the inverted commas). The necessary step should be an Appeal to the Supreme Court in protection of the Audit as OF GREAT UBLIC AND NATIONAL INTEREST!

  14. “The judges wrote, “The requested records are no less public records simply because they are in the possession of a third party, Cyber Ninjas,” according to the Arizona Republic.”

    Seems to me if that is true then Twitter, Facebook, and any other social media platform should not be able to infringe on people’s 1st amendment rights as social media platforms are public squares. Doesn’t matter that they are in the possession of a third party.

  15. Hey Guys, the RINO’s are either suffering from an (1.) inferiority complex when they compare themselves to Democrats. (2) They are convinced and therefor live in fear that they will suffer massive financial and/or ostracizing from the “in” crowd if they do the right thing. aka, How can I survive if the Deep State abandons me? (3) The brainwashing they received as children has never worn off or (4) they are just plain stupid and have succeeded at playing smart persons. Please give them a little understanding and a lot of push-back. Don’t forget to spend some serious time PRAYING for them.

    1. Of COURSE they will suffer! They “go along” because they HAVE these Positions and make a Lot of money IN these Positions. If they DON’T “go along”, they’ll be OUT, and their gravy train is DONE…. OVER…. they’ll have Nothing,
      SO THEY GO ALONG.
      “The Swamp”

  16. How when ever here is an investigation by the city, state or federal governments, or any of their outlying agencies, when asked for info on an of their investigations it is always ok for them to say it is an active investigation so all information will be withheld until the investigation is over? I guess it only counts when you are the favored ones.
