but the issue is the Company was hired in a Extremely Volatile election inquiry and they are hired because they claimed they would check to everything by the book and find "mistakes" that were made (even thou it was checked 3 times already). This was not only given national exposure but also looked at by high priority from several Candidates (that were pictured "taking tours" of the audit. For them to claim they were unaware of Auditing rules just shows how at the VERY LEAST. they don't know what there doing ( if thats the case, we need to audit that actually audit). and what would be the most likely scenario is they knowingly altering results.
I would not hire a mechanic that needs to look at the manual for every step to fix your car..Then why the hell are we allowing that in a ELECTION!!
Using the wrong pen is not a big deal and doesn't demonstrate any wrong-doing, it's a minor procedural mistake. There's a difference between doing something maliciously and doing something absentmindedly.

really... Not in American, because until recently "Government documents, like a passport application, will also require the use of black ink. In some countries, they are so strict on these policies that they will completely reject any government correspondence that are submitted in the wrong color"
and GOD FORBID
You use anything but a #2 pencil for the Standardize testing or the S.A.T..

For the specific reason that I've already mentioned. Mistakes like this happen all the time in all avenues of life and can be easily corrected, if there are any accusations of wrong-doing, they'll have to be evidenced. I'm afraid that using the wrong pen isn't a criminal offense.

He's explaining the difference between criminal intent and using invalid formatting. If there is something wrong with the audit, the important aspects of it should come out, despite the buckling in protocol. You mentioned something about mechanics. If election audits had nearly as much foundation, it would actually be a bad reflection on the state of "democracy". You should be proud that America has a lack of expertise in this field.

Heck the US Army still very Strict with how you fill out and correct items
black ink is only accepted for most things, black or blue for signatures
https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN32225-AR_25-50-003-WEB-6.pdf
and you get courtmartialed for using RED ! lol

This is not a raffle or bake sales that you can do things half ass.. They knowly took the "audit" job knowing that it was high priority not only to AZ but the whole Country. So going "OPPS wrong pen," does not cut it.

So are we really meant to trust Cyber Ninja to do an honest audit when one of the people doing the sudit for them was part of the capital riot back in January?

No. You will have to verify. At least because of the audit, the public will have more information to work with. If that person was apart of the "insurrection" then surely they should be in jail.

Red pens matter. Also, the fake news you submitted validates nothing about being court-marshalled for using the wrong ink.

The Military recommends using blue or black pens, with a strong preference towards black. The document you posted is guidance in regards to filling out correspondence, it's consistent with that recommendation. With that being said, you will not get "court martialed" for using an incorrect pen colour - you'll get disciplined. I am unable to find a single reference to this being a court martial offense, or one case where a military officer was sentenced for using the wrong pen. I have found multiple references to soldiers being yelled at, which is not a big deal.

Is there any evidence that this individual entered the building at any point? They're entitled to go to a political rally, that's not illegal.

This is the second time the room is quiet after one of your bangers, I don't think you can blame us. I can guarantee that we're not a tough crowd.

He's standing outside. Behind the barriers, perhaps, but hardly in the process of "overthrowing the government". :lol: If the feds have any issues with that, they can contact him - they've been fairly lenient so far.
sorry but that is the Steps of the Capitol. Which would be Trespassing ..
Just because the Feds are only prosecuting people who entered the Building does not mean he did not COMMIT a crime by being part of a insurrection (or at the very least Riot)

I'm confused. You didn't end with LOL. Am I to expect that you believe what you say or not?

That's cool, my man. I find it unobjectionable, but if you want to impune him for trespass on a set of stairs, that's fine. He is there, you're not wrong, I just fail to see how it's a problem. It's not the first time protesters stood on the steps of the US Capitol. I'm old enough to remember when protestors were banging on the doors to stop Kavanaugh's nomination. That's a lot of people standing on a lot of steps. Different building, same complex, same rule.



In a fairness though, they did arrest around 300 of them, including Amy Schumer, which was hilarious.

yea but those people were not In charge of approving Kavanaugh because that would be conflict of interest. The conflict of interest exist no matter how you look at it.

If we have to discuss what a conflict of interest is again I'm going to have an aneurysm, so I'm not going there.

fair enough but the optics don't look good by having him there, They had Hundreds of volunteers, They should not of used him or at the very least removed him when it was found out.
