Special counsel Michael Gableman has issued about 70 subpoenas to state entities and employees, special interest groups, private companies, mayoral staffers, and IT departments all across the state of Wisconsin as he continues to investigate the 2020 election there. Gableman is a former justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
The subpoenas seek to obtain records, depositions, and more information on the election process and organizations that seem to have had a hand in the administration of elections. In cases such as the city of Green Bay, the mayor turned over the election to a leftist activist, including internet access and a key to the room where ballots were stored. Gee, what could possibly go wrong with that?
The investigation is looking into several components of what went on during the election. Gableman is interested in the money contributed by Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and the money he donated to the Center for Tech and Civic Life that influenced the election. Gableman is specifically looking into the mayors, clerks, and staffers and how they might have been influenced by the large infusion of Zucker Bucks.
The CTCL approached the cities with large Democratic registrations and gave them $8.8 million dollars to buy PPE for election workers. It is hard to see why it would be needed since President Trump had already supplied them with $7 million for that purpose. Gableman wants to know where that money actually went.
According to the source, each mayor of the five cities took “good faith” money. Racine allegedly received $60,000 and the other four cities received $10,000 each. Once they took this initial grant, CTCL sent questionnaires to see if the five cities then qualified for the full $8.8 million grant, the source said.
The questionnaire asked what the city was going to do to drive up the vote in what they deemed were historically disenfranchised neighborhoods, according to the source.
Gableman already issued subpoenas to the mayors of the cities. The next round of subpoenas that have just been issued, according to the source, is to mayoral staffers and IT departments in order to find information on how the cities used the money from CTCL.
Already, hundreds of pages of emails between Milwaukee election officials and CTCL have been made public.
