33. Will: what is your expectation for official response to Conyers letter?
This letter from Conyers was sent to Ohio FBI and to the Hocking County prosecutor.

Of course, if the FBI wants to drag its feet, it will. If the prosecutor wants to give the appearance of considering action, he could. On the other hand, if they want to, they could swoop in tomorrow and start impounding machines and handcuffing people. (Blackwell should have been handcuffed two days ago for locking down public records...prima facie evidence of fraud in Ohio).

Do you sense that action will be taken in response to the letter? Or do you think Conyers will get a response that reads: "Thank you for your interest in this matter. We are have been looking into allegations of voting irregularities and will take appropriate action when and if our findings indicate that action should be taken."

Getting to this point is important...but will something be done? Is there movement behind the scenes? Are people distancing themselves from Blackwell? Is Blackwell consulting his attorney? What kind of person is the Hocking County prosecutor? Where are the Ohio state and federal legislators in this process? What other courses of action does Conyers have? Will this help convince his republican colleagues on the Judiciary Committee to immediately convene a real hearing?

I am grateful for the late night headlines!
