"Arizona 'Audit' Report Likely To Concede That Biden Won In 2020"

The team of Arizona Republican state senators, legislative staff, and advisers finalizing the Cyber Ninjas’ report on the 2020 presidential election in Maricopa County is preparing to say that Joe Biden legitimately won the election, according to the largest funder of the Senate’s mostly privatized election review, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne.

“The way some of these political RINOs [Republicans In Name Only] are doing this is they’re trying to argue that the [election] report should only be allowed to go and address the original construct of the report, the original assignment of the audit, and leave out other things that have been found,” Byrne told Creative Destruction Media’s L. Todd Wood.

“The political class is going to try to come in and water this down,” Byrne said. “The Republican political class, the RINOs, the nobodies… They are going to try to water this down. I am sure they all have been promised federal judgeships or sacks of cash under a streetlight if they can get this killed at this late date or watered down. And I think the public of Arizona should go ballistic.”

Byrne’s comments were made on August 29 but have been reposted on pro-Trump media in recent days as Arizona’s Republican Senate leadership is finalizing its report on the election. Trump has also revived his attacks on “RINOs” in recent days on Telegram, a social media site favored by his base.

1. That would be absolutely hysterical.

After ALL this, for them to just be like "Yeah....he won it fair and square"

[lagomorph777]

10. And also suffer the humiliation of all those illegal transactions being made public.

And Trump's wrath.

[dweller]

2. well then

✌🏻

[Champp]

3. In other words: Republicans have been systematically lying to Americans

and consequently they deserve no respect, no public office, and no trust whatsoever.

Lying is wrong. Republicans just won't accept that.

[RussBLib]

4. I would be surprised

after all this? More likely they will insists that Trump won. But if this report is true, it would suggest an important turning point in the GOP's rush towards Trumpian madness.

6. I wonder if they are concerned about the DoJ and private civil suits

that keep them from stating lies.

[Voltaire2]

22. cyberninjas has likely been advised

that they will be in deep shit if they commit fraud.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

5. "and leave out other things that have been found."

Like what?

So, they are going to argue that even though they concluded Biden won legitimately, there are these mysterious "things" that they can't talk about because the "RINOs" have put the kibosh on it.

How much Arizona taxpayer money was wasted on this B.S.?

[lagomorph777]

14. The other "things" are all those secret internal documents and emails.

Which are about to be revealed. So no worries.

18. Just like the California recall election, the repubs should pay for this.

[FSogol]

24. Exactly: How much Arizona taxpayer money was wasted on this B.S.?

[underpants]

7. Damn. That's where I've been stashing my sacks of cash

Maybe Nicki Minaj’s story was really just some sort of code that we don’t understand

[Buns_of_Fire]

8. Poor Patrick. Paid for a Rolls-Royce, got a Pinto.

Cyber Ninnies: "We've decided that to get the results you want, it's gonna cost you. Call it a 'cost overrun'."

[lagomorph777]

16. CyberNutjobs will never get another Reptilian dime.

[malaise]

9. Herman again saying

I think I Cain.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

11. Raise your hand if you're surprised that the explanation for the FAIL is another conspiracy theory?

Yeah, me neither

Byrne's blathering totally reminds me of the time I was in the back of the Limo getting grilled ...

[Arazi]

12. The continuing delay in reporting the results indicated the result was Biden won

Now they have to figure out how to spin this

[Qutzupalotl]

13. Byrne believes officials were bribed but cites no evidence.

What else does he believe without evidence?

[gratuitous]

15. They will conclude and concede nothing but what's in their interests

Any other findings, like the election was conducted on the up-and-up and that the Biden/Harris ticket won (just like all those Arizona Republicans won) fair and square, will be tamped down and the evidence will be "inconclusive." As in, "Yeah, it looks for all the world that Biden/Harris won Arizona, but we can't say that with 110% certainty, so we're going to say the results of the fraudit are inconclusive."

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. Who is surprised by this?

[Tomconroy]

19. That's interesting. Byrne was the biggest funder of the

Audit so it stands to reason he would have insider knowledge of the results. And fear of being sued would explain the long delay if it was caused by a review eliminating possibly libelous statements. I guess we will see.
It sounds like Byrne is complaining that lawyers have been reviewing the report and editing out stuff that would get the ninjas sued.

[Bleacher Creature]

20. My reaction:

[LonePirate]

21. If true, this is a wonderful way to start the weekend.

[Thomas Hurt]

23. LOL, always a conspiracy theory explain away what the christofascists don't like.

[bluesbassman]

25. I'll take Conspiracy Theories that explain failed CT's for $1,000 Alex.

The MSM bears much responsibility for this nonsense. They rode the Trump ratings gravy train by “reporting” his every LIE and crackpot theory until it has now become SOP to just regurgitate crap like this from Byrne without a hint of fact checking or pushback. Is it any wonder our less than critically thinking fellow citizens swallow it hook line and sinker?

[TlalocW]

26. I think the delays were at first

From trying to come up with any explanation to give them the results they wanted because the numbers were so against them it was near impossible to spin. And then it morphed into a CYA, going through their final report with a fine-tooth comb after the DOJ told them that they were watching them. They're going to have to call it for Biden, but they're also seeing what they can legally say to still inject doubt that it was won fair and square.

27. They're not trying to overturn 2020, they're trying to lay the groundwork for 2024. nt

[Nevilledog]

28. They've warped into believing it will reinstall Trump

This Tweet is from an AZ GOP candidate for Secretary of State.....he was also at the Capitol on January 6th.
