The Big Lie bites taxpayers...and Robbin' Vos!

We know that the WisGOP Assembly's absurd "investigation" into the 2020 election was a Big Lie. But we found out this week that the clown leading the investigation knows that he's been telling another Big Lie to the public.

Memo shows Wis. GOP lawyer privately opposed decertifying Biden’s 2020 winhttps://t.co/1jNFTAJej9

It was an extraordinary public statement from a former state Supreme Court justice hired by Republican lawmakers to probe the 2020 election: Wisconsin should take a “hard look” at canceling Joe Biden’s victory and revoking the state’s 10 electoral college votes....

But a newly unearthed memo shows that the former justice, Michael Gableman, soon afterward offered a far different analysis in private.

“While decertification of the 2020 presidential election is theoretically possible, it is unprecedented and raises numerous substantial constitutional issues that would be difficult to resolve. Thus, the legal obstacles to its accomplishment render such an outcome a practical impossibility,” Gableman wrote to Assembly Speaker Robin Vos.

Oh, so Mikey didn't think wasting time on election reversal was such a great idea, did he? Funny, he doesn't say that in public, and keeps stringing the rubes along.

And how did we find out Gableman was double-talking?

Gableman’s memo was released under the state’s open records law to the liberal watchdog group American Oversight, which shared it with The Washington Post.

Heather Sawyer, the group’s executive director, in a statement called decertification “a fiction designed to advance conspiracy theories and undermine confidence in our democracy.”

And we found out this week that Robbin' Vos is perfectly fine with continuing this charade to "advance conspiracy theories and undermine confidence in our democracy." No matter what it costs Wisconsin taxpayers - whether it's paying for Gableman's fat salary and high-paid "consultants", or to pay back organizations that have to sue to hold this Big Scam accountable.

Attorney James Bopp, who is representing Michael Gableman in a lawsuit over records requests related to Gableman's taxpayer-funded review of the 2020 election, says in court today he is charging taxpayers $450 per hour to represent Gableman.

Dane County Judge Frank Remington rules Gableman is responsible for paying American Oversight's legal fees in the lawsuit, which amount to about $163,000. The fees will be covered by taxpayers.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, hired Gableman at a cost of $676,000. Legal fees and other court expenses have pushed the price tag to more than $1.1 million — costs https://t.co/KgjUz6AtAd

Fiscal conservatism at its finest!

Oh, but Robbin' Vos at least keeps the rubes misdirected, so that's gotta help him, right?

Just in: Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Adam Steen, who's challenging @SpeakerVos in the 63rd Assembly District.

Trump says he's backing Steen, "running against the RINO Speaker of the Assembly, Robin Vos."

So Robbin' Vos' two-step routine on the big lie is wasteful, stupid, and harmful to GOPs in statewide races. And it's still not good enough for Trump and the MAGAts! Hope THAT was worth it, you pathetic dweeb!
