apparently trump's team got written permission by elected officials to look at the machines and they were let inside. cnn somehow turns this into "machine tampering" (<Lmaoo>) even though they were apparently invited. CNN didn't even verify the substance of the invitation letter, but they published this filth anyway.
from that CNN article:
A ‘written invitation’ to access voting systems
On January 1, 2021 – days ahead of the January 7 voting systems breach –
Katherine Friess, an attorney working with Giuliani, Sidney Powell and other Trump allies,
shared a “written invitation” to examine voting systems in Coffee County with a group of Trump allies.
That group included members of Sullivan Strickler, a firm hired by Trump’s attorneys to examine voting systems in the small, heavily Republican Georgia county, according to text messages obtained by CNN.
That same day, Friess sent a “Letter of invitation to Coffee County, Georgia” to former NYPD Police Commissioner
Bernie Kerik, who was working with Giuliani to find evidence that would back up their baseless claims of potential widespread voter fraud, according to court documents filed as part of an ongoing civil case.
Friess then notified operatives who carried out the Coffee County breach and others working directly with Giuliani that
Trump’s team had secured written permission, the texts show.
CNN has not reviewed the substance of the invitation letter itself, only communications that confirm it was provided to Friess, Kerik and Sullivan Strickler employees.
In a statement provided to CNN after the story published, an attorney for Sullivan Strickler said the firm “is not and has never been part of a ‘Pro-Trump team’ or any ‘team’ whose goal is to undermine our democracy through lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.”
