 Mike Lindell’s presentation is glib, filled with “techno” special effects, and is, overall, however, somewhat amateurish.  The presentation presents packet capture traffic from China and other foreign countries, ostensibly to Dominion voting machines in several key U.S. swing states during the November 3, 2020 national election.  It purports to unpack that network traffic into source and destination IP addresses, latitude and longitude, network ID, and other information, including votes stolen from President Trump.

 At first, all is well and good.  The IP addresses from China check out, as do the U.S. IP addresses from swing states.  Then Lindell and his silhouetted cyber expert jump to conclusions about the numbers of votes stolen from Trump in each location.  This does not follow as matter-of-factly as these guys jump to it.  IMHO, this is the main area where the presentation fails as fact, and enters into the realm of conspiracy theory, because they do not explain how they obtained this conclusive data from the network traffic.

 The makers of Dominion election machines first claimed that these machines were not connected to the internet.  They were not on line.  During a live hearing in Georgia, a white hat hacker established a two-way connection into the integral part of a Dominion voting machine.  Dominion management later retracted, and admitted that “some” Dominion machines could be connected to the internet.

 As far as SCOTUS rendering a 9-0 decision to return Donald Trump to the White House by August, 2021, there is no mechanism in our government to do this.  First of all, it is hardly likely that SCOTUS will take up Lindell’s cause, no matter how highly Lindell thinks of it.  Secondly, SCOTUS is, typically, in recess from late June/early July until the first Monday in October. Thirdly, the only ways that we can unseat a sitting president is by impeachment, (hardly likely, with a democratic congress), or by the 25^th amendment because of impairment.  In any case, the replacement would be the Vice President, Kamala Harris, and not Trump.

 Mike Lindell is a valiant crusader for Donald Trump, and against the scurrilous and probably illegal way that Trump was removed from office.  He is also a tireless salesman, as anyone who has heard his “my pillow” commercials will attest. Unfortunately, in this case, Lindell is promoting what most rational thinkers will relegate to the realm of conspiracy theory.
