An “ELECTION CRIME” group helmed by #MyPillow founder #Mike #Lindell sent out emails requesting personal information from local election officials as well as information about security programs designed to detect threats in those counties.
Lindell is a prolific supporter of #election #denial causes and one of the most prominent voices of a movement that falsely claims the 2020 election, which Donald Trump lost to President Joe Biden, was beset with widespread fraud.
On Sept. 5, the Lindell-backed group, the "Election Crime Bureau", emailed at least one Georgia county requesting they take a survey about the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a nonprofit focused on cybersecurity, and its Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center, an initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to protect local election offices.
The survey asked election officials to provide personal information such as their home addresses and cell phone numbers.
It also queried whether the counties are using monitoring systems, called “Albert” and “Falcon,” developed by CIS to help counties detect online threats to election systems.
Impending Wompage…
“#Trump-supporting pillow tycoon Mike #Lindell has until Friday to hand over documents in a $5 million lawsuit or he will be forced to appear in federal court.
The case stems from Lindell's public promise to pay anyone $5 million to disprove Lindell's claim that the election was rigged in Joe Biden's favor” #legal https://www.newsweek.com/mike-lindell-federal-court-minnesota-election-challenge-5-million-prove-me-wrong-1941734

#Lindell told NBC News last year that he could no longer afford to pay...“We’ve lost everything, every dime,” he said in a phone interview in October. “All of it is gone.”
#MyPillow #MikeLindell offered a $5M reward …for anyone who could prove that “packet captures” & other data he released… were not valid data “from the November 2020 election.”
Robert Zeidman entered …a 15-pg report that concluded the data from #Lindell don’t “contain packet data of any kind & do not contain any information related to the November 2020 election.”

Since 2021, #Lindell, the chief exec of… #MyPillow & #Trump assoc, has financed conferences, #legal efforts & even his own digital media venture to further unproven or debunked #ConspiracyTheories regarding the use of voting machines to steal the 2020election.
He has worked w/state-level groups across the country, & …speaks w/activists on weekly conference calls. & he has used MyPillow advertising to support a range of #conservative & #RightWing media, incl’g many that amplify his claims.
…Lawyers defending Lindell in several #defamation lawsuits this wk filed to withdraw…, citing “millions”…in unpaid fees. The withdrawal would leave #Lindell w/o a lawyer in #lawsuits where plaintiffs are seeking >$1B damages.
…In a filing…Fri, #Smartmatic… said it did not object to the lawyers withdrawal but expressed concern he was using the news “…to #fundraise for his election fraud campaign.”…Lindell had already sent out a fund-raising email seeking $200k…that invoked his lawyers’ motion.
#MikeLindell’s Lawyers Say He Owes ‘Millions’ in Fees
The disclosure, made in a #court filing this week, is a sign that the pillow “magnate” …is facing financial stress.

Prominent Donald Trump supporter and #MyPillow CEO Mike #Lindell repeatedly lost his temper, left the room and swore at opposing counsel during a series of #depositions earlier this year, according to newly released videos and transcripts.
The extraordinary interviews were conducted as part of a #defamation #lawsuit brought by Dr. Eric Coomer, former director of product strategy and security at #Dominion #Voting #Systems, who has accused Lindell of repeatedly defaming him in public and online following Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential race.
“Don’t sit and scold me already, mister. I’ll do whatever I have to do,” Lindell said at the start of a March 8 deposition, addressing Coomer’s attorney. “You’re just a lawyer. You’re an ambulance chasing lawyer, so don’t start with me. I got all day. I’ll take as much time as you want, so let’s go. You’re not my boss. You’re just a lawyer, a frivolous lawyer. So go. Don’t start scolding me"

MyPillow's Mike #Lindell has been hyping his secret plan to save elections for a week. He just released it — and it's a little drone he plans to fly over polling sites.
Kelly Dereuck:
Live from the Mike Lindell event on day 2: so far the plan to secure our elections is to fly a wifi detection device on drones over polling places to see if voting machines are connected to the internet.
