COURT JUSTICE MICHAEL GABLEMAN
TOOK TO YOUTUBE THIS WEEK
RELEASING A SIX-MINUTE-LONG
VIDEO STATEMENT ABOUT HIS
INVESTIGATION INTO THE 2020
WISCONSIN ELECTION.
IT CAME FOLLOWING CONFUSION ON
THE PART OF ELECTION CLERKS OVER
AN EMAIL FROM HIS OFFICE THAT
WAS FLAGGED AS A POSSIBLE
CYBERSECURITY RISK.
THE STATE ASSEMBLY LAST WEEK
APPROVED AT LEAST $680,000 IN
TAXPAYER MONEY FOR THE GABLEMAN
PROBE.
THIS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT
AFTER RECOUNTS, COURT CHALLENGES
AND OFFICIAL RESULTS AW AUDITS,O
WIDESPREAD FRAUD WAS FOUND.
YESTERDAY THE FOURTH WISCONSIN
VOTER OUT OF 3 MILLION VOTES
WERE CHARGED WITH ELECTION
FRAUD.
HERE'S AN EXCERPT OF GABLEMAN'S
VIDEO STATEMENT.
>> THIS IS NOT AN ELECTION
CONTEST.
WE ARE NOT CHALLENGING THE
RESULTS OF THE 2020 ELECTION.
RATHER, WE ARE HOLDING
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE
TO THE PUBLIC FOR THEIR ACTIONS
SURROUNDING THE ELECTIONS.
AS THE OFFICIALS DIRECTLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ADMINISTERING
ELECTIONS, WISCONSIN'S COUNTY
AND MUNICIPAL CLERKS HAVE A DUTY
TO BE FORTHCOMING IN THIS
INVESTIGATION.
IT IS MY SINCERE HOPE THAT
WISCONSIN ELECTION OFFICIALS
WILL LIVE UP TO THAT DUTY.
BUT IF THEY DO NOT, WE WILL USE
THE POWER AFFORDED TO THE OFFICE
OF SPECIAL COUNSEL TO COMPEL
ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS.
THIS INVESTIGATION WILL BE
GUIDED BY A SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH
AND NOT BY POLITICAL PRIORITIES
OR POLITICAL TIME TABLES.
SOME EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PRODUCED
PREVIOUSLY THAT SHOWS SOME
ELECTION OFFICIALS ACTED IEWN
LATLY IN DECIDING NOT TO FOLLOW
ESTABLISHED STATE LAW.
WE WILL REQUEST FROM THOSE
OFFICIALS AND OTHERS WITH
POTENTIAL KNOWLEDGE OF UNLAWFUL
ACTIONS AND WILL COMPEL THEM, IF
NECESSARY, TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS
AND TESTIMONY THAT WILL ALLOW
THE PUBLIC TO GAIN A
COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF
HOW THEIR ELECTIONS WERE
MANAGED.
>> THE TOP ELECTION OFFICIAL IN
WISCONSIN, MEGAN WOLFE, SAYS SHE
DOES NOT KNOW WHAT POSSIBLE
UNLAWFUL ACTIONS GABLEMAN IS
TALKING ABOUT.
WOLFE HAS REPEATEDLY DEFENDED
THE INTEGRITY OF WISCONSIN'S
2020 ELECTIONS.
MARISA WOJCIK SAT DOWN WITH
UW-MADISON ELECTION EXPERT BARRY
BURDEN AND ASKED HIM HIS
REACTION TO THE GABLEMAN YOUTUBE
STATEMENT.
>> WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THAT?
THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION THATúSN
LOOKING FOR FRAUD.
IS THIS JUST CREATING MORE
CONFUSION?
CERTAINLY WE HAVEN'T SEEN
SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
>> WELL, I HAVE A COUPLE WORRIES
ABOUT THIS.
ONE IS THAT GABLEMAN
INVESTIGATION SEEMS TO HAVE A
MOVING TARGET IN MIND, THE KINDS
OF THINGS THAT HIS TEAM IS
INTERESTED IN HAVE SHIFTED OVER
TIME.
HE'S TRAVELED TO ARIZONA TO SEE
THE RECOUNTS AUDIT BUSINESS THAT
WAS HAPPENING THERE IN MARICOPA
COUNTY.
HE'S TRAVELED TO A SEMINAR THAT
MIKE LINDELL, THE MY PILLOW CEO
PUT ON IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND
CONSULTED WITH OTHER FOLKS IN
THE INDUSTRY OF RAISING
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ELECTION.
HIS MOST RECENT VIDEO IS NOW
TALKING ABOUT CLERKS NOT
FOLLOWING THE LAW.
TO ME THAT SEEMS LIKE A VERY
DIFFERENT SET OF CONCERNS.
IF THAT WERE HAPPENING, I THINK
THE LEGISLATURE WOULD HAVE THE
RIGHT TO HOLD HEARINGS TO LOOK
INTO THAT AND THEY'VE ALREADY
DONE SOME OF THAT.
THERE COULD BE COURT CASES
FILED.
SOMEONE COULD FILE SUIT CLAIMING
THAT CLERKS OR ELECTION
OFFICIALS WERE NOT FOLLOWING THE
LAW.
VIEWERS WILL REMEMBER THAT THERE
WERE SEVEN OR EIGHT OF THOSE
SUITS FILED IN STATE AND FEDERAL
COURT CLAIMING THAT LAWS WERE
NOT BEING FOLLOWED, THAT THE
COLLECTION OF BALAN BALLOTS IN Y
PARKS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
ALL OF THOSE SUITS ESSENTIALLY
WERE TOSSED OUT, NOT SEEN AS
HAVING ANY MERIT AND THEY DIDN'T
MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE ELECTION
AS A RESULT.
NOW, THASES THAT'S NOT TO SAY E
SHOULDN'T DO SOME IMPROVEMENTS
AFTER EACH ELECTION.
IT'S A HUMAN PROCESS.
WE WENT THROUGH A DIFFERENT KIND
OF ELECTION THAN EVER BEFORE AND
I THINK THE SYSTEM ADAPTED, BUT
IT WASN'T DESIGNED TO DEAL WITH
THE KINDS OF CHALLENGES WE FACED
IN 2020.
SO SOME CHANGES TO THE ELECTION
LAW ARE PROBABLY RIGHT.
BUT I DON'T THINK DOING IT
THROUGH A SOMEWHAT SECRETIVE
INVESTIGATION THAT'S NOT DONE IN
FULL PUBLIC VIEW AND WITH MOVING
