This "paid leave" thing pisses me off. They can't reassign her, like, maybe sweeping floors or scrubbing toilets? Let the person who usually does that act as her supervisor so they don't end up out of a job.

they want the lady far away from the office buildings. Seems that also some workplace harassment charges / mobbing are in the air.

As a result, Knisley, 66, was ordered not to enter the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder's Office while state and federal criminal investigations are ongoing into possible felony charges for breaching election security, according to her arrest warrant.

The charges are separate from two criminal investigations against her and Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters by the district attorney's office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.


According to her arrest affidavit, Knisley had been placed on paid administrative leave and told not to have contact with anyone in the office. She was placed on paid leave pending an investigation into her creating a hostile work environment for office employees.

"(District Attorney Dan Rubinstein) has been in contact with defense counsel for Ms. Knisley and has expressed his concern that Ms. Knisley continues to have contact with employees of the Clerk and Recorder's Office in a manner that is intimidating to them, despite the pending investigation and her leave," the affidavit says.

The arrest warrant was issued after County Administrator Pete Baier informed Knisley that she was being placed on administrative leave pending investigations into "numerous" workplace harassment complaints, an order Knisley ignored, the affidavit and other court documents show.

Her access badge had been suspended along with her computer passwords. Still, Knisley was discovered inside secure areas of the office by Baier and the head of the county's Human Resources Department, who also observed that Knisley was trying to print something using Peters' computer passwords.


Her laptop computer was later confiscated.

Just the best ....

Slim, you really don't want her anywhere near her job site. The atmosphere there is toxic at best and likely volatile. It is probably a huge relief to fellow employees who can get their real work done rather than constantly checking on or avoiding her.

In many organizations where there is any sort of audit trail or confidentiality requirement, using someone else's computer credentials is an immediate-firing-walk-you-out-the-door kind of action.

That, and who allowed her in the secure area in the first place?

[Slim Cognito]

Ok, I accept that. But it still pisses me off these people are allowed to sit at home, collecting their pay all the while possibly fundraising and hitting the MAGA circuit.

If that's forbidden, at least it's a little consolation.

I didn't see much about the one who attended Cyberpalooza. Is she still in hiding? I want her ass perp walked.

Sorry guys, I'm in a really bad mood. I consoled myself overnight thinking SHIRLEY, the Supremes will come thru with at least a stay. Now I'm stressed all over again.

Charges filed against Mesa County deputy clerk

But on the morning of Aug. 25, several print request emails came from the email address of Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters to Mesa County IT. Mesa County Administrator Peter Baier was notified around noon that Knisley was in a secure area at the county DMV office, where she had been escorted from two days prior. Baier and the county's director of human services found Knisley at that office, and the affidavit says Baier overheard Knisley telling another employee to print something off of another computer. The affidavit says Baier told Knisley she needed to leave and she called her attorney, who told her to leave.

Later that afternoon, county HR took Peters' laptop from her office in response to a search warrant, according to the affidavit, which also says that "it appeared Knisley was using Peters' Mesa County work station to access the secure Mesa County computer network while she was in Peters' office earlier." Log files from the computer confirmed Peters' credentials were used to log in to the computer earlier that morning, but Peters had not yet returned to her office since Aug. 9, according to the affidavit.

Knisley did not have an attorney listed in court records. The court records show she had a $2,000 bond set on Wednesday and that a mandatory protection order was issued that bars her from having any contact with the clerk's office or its employees. Knisley and Peters were sued by Griswold and a Mesa County elector on Monday as Griswold seeks to remove Peters as the county’s designated election official and to bar her and Knisley from any oversight or involvement with this November’s election.

The Department of State’s investigation into the election security breaches found that Knisley and Sandra Brown, another Clerk and Recorder employee, helped a man named Gerald Wood who does not work for the county, get into a May 25 “trusted build” of the election system by misrepresenting Wood’s role. That trusted build is where officials believe images were taken of secret passwords used by the Mesa County voting system. It also said that Peters and Knisely are both presently absent, and should they return, are “unable to perform the required duties as a result of her above wrongful acts and breaches of duty.” Griswold said in a statement she could not comment on the criminal matter but did add: “Officials tasked with carrying out safe and secure elections do so in public trust and must be held accountable when they abuse their power or position.”

Gee, using someone else's id and password to log in --- sure seems like computer fraud to me. Oh, and she had already been escorted out once -- I think the feds need to charge her with mail fraud, along with everything else possible -- ditto with state re everything possible.

AND MAKE SURE THEY LOSE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

[Chilidog]

So...

Belinda is facing some serious charges.

Can we expect to see some epic underbussing out of this?

As the lady also had the password of Peters, that Peters herself ought to have kept secret, will that result in criminal conspiracy charges for both of them?

If this was Law & Order: Criminal Stupidity, the deputy clerk would flip on the Clerk before the second commercial break.

I bet that the Feds are after Lindell.

[notorial dissent]

Pretty much standard practice when an official like that is in legal trouble, the Deputy they can at least fire eventually, but the Clerk will have to be removed by the voters. I don't think that there is a provision for the State to actually do it. From what I've heard, the Clerk and Deputy over there have been nothing but trouble from day one, constant hostile work environment and major employee turnover. I don't think anyone will be sorry to see them gone. It will take time to be shed of them though. They are at least stripped of their authority and banned from the premises. It will be interesting to see just how much they end up costing the county when all is said and done. I would say from the sounds of it she/they are facing some really serious state and federal felony charges, and the current AG is not known for her shyness, she'll go after both of them, and the Feds can have what is left. Of course, I guess it will depend on who gets in to court first. I do wonder if either of them really comprehend just how far down the crapper their lives have gone at this point.

Douglas Jensen (any relation to Dogbite?) really deserves a topic here, he's our kind of people. Hey Foggy, maybe in addition to the "Hero of Fogbow Socialist Labor" medal, we can also have a "The Stupid of the Fogbow" ribbon? Nominate Douglas Jensen:

Update on #J6 rioter Douglas Jensen, who couldn't help himself: Doug just had to Sneak A Peek at #MikeLindell's #CyberSymposium, even though it violated his bail conditions. DOUG IS GOING BACK TO JAIL. And he didn't even see the PCAPS! Crying face @erratarob @HarriHursti From @ZTPetrizzo.

And that's without even considering they could be liable to pay for new voting machines.

[Chilidog]

I'm wondering who will be the first to flip on Lindell?

I may be wrong, but I believe that they ARE on the hook for new machines since the old ones were compromised. She is going to cost them a great deal of money before it is all over and done with.

[Gregg]

I know the country has to replace their machines, but what I'm saying is these two geniuses might be forced to pay for them themselves (there goes all the GoFundMe money)

Mike Lindell paid millions to "cyber experts"; allegedly bought luxury home for accused fraudster
MyPillow CEO may have bought $1.5 million home for supposed expert — who didn't even show up at "cyber symposium"
By ZACHARY PETRIZZO
PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 3, 2021 6:00AM (EDT)

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's alleged net worth of $300 million may be dwindling rapidly, thanks in large part to the team of blundering operatives, advisers and self-appointed cyber experts who have convinced Lindell to pay them big bucks for their thoroughly unsuccessful work to help him reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

According to interviews with sources close to Lindell and documents reviewed by Salon, the bedding magnate has paid more than $3 million to various advisers and his team of "white hat hackers." They produced the supposed "packet-capture" evidence, which Lindell has promised for months would prove the election had been hacked, and were also paid to ensure its "safety" between the November election and Lindell's much-hyped "cyber symposium" last month in South Dakota.

On Thursday, Josh Merritt, a former member of Lindell's "red team" at the South Dakota event, told Salon that the $3 million was split among a group of Lindell's "cyber experts." Most of the money, he said, went toward the purchase of a luxury Florida home for Dennis Montgomery, a discredited former government contractor with a checkered history who has become central to Lindell's operation. Merritt said that in the "red team room" he heard Lindell and an employee discuss "that being the house that Dennis Montgomery lived in. Lindell had stated many times he had paid Montgomery and others over $3 million, and he had spent a total of over $15 million" on his claims of election fraud.

"Lindell is who has been funding Dennis Montgomery since Nov. 3, 2020," Merritt said, adding that the mysterious home was a key point of Lindell's operation leading up to the South Dakota symposium, which Lindell claims only failed because it was hijacked by antifa insurgents. The home in question is a Naples, Florida, property acquired through a financial trust called Gray Horse, Merritt said, suggesting it was purchased through a pro-Trump lawyer and Lindell sidekick. "Gray Horse was just the trust name," Merritt said, "common practice when hiding and protecting an owner."

The $1.5 million luxury home in Naples, which has four bedrooms, a large swimming pool and palm trees, was reportedly where four hard drives that Lindell claimed were full of 2020 election "data" — specifically, the "Scorecard and Hammer" data much coveted by election truthers — were being stored ahead of the August cyber symposium. It was also where Dennis Montgomery had set up housekeeping. Salon obtained a Florida Department of State document filed on Aug. 23, showing that Montgomery registered his company, "Blxware LLC," at that address last week.

Gosh, ol' Dennis Montgomery was on death's door in the not-too-distant past, glad to hear he's feeling much better now. A whole new house with a swimmin' pool! They'll probably be glad to hear about that in Nevada, too, where the criminal case is still pending as they wait to see if he croaks or not. I reckon maybe he's not planning to croak after all, ya think?

Such a charming feller, he specializes in selling products that, y'know ... don't actually exist. In real life. Y'know.

[bob]

Naples, FL is due west of Boca Raton, where Montgomery's former lawyer, Klayman, (doesn't) live.

And IIRC, Naples is where Steady Drip Sewell loves.

[Gregg]

My grandparents lived in Bonita Springs which was next to Naples with nothing in between, its a pretty ritzy place. If you know when to look, you can even find me vacationing on nearby Sanibel Island once in a while.

In-town is ritzy, but there's a lot of rural real estate surrounding that still has a Naples address, some of it not so ritzy.

Off Topic

(if you make it to Sanibel again, let us know. There's a few of us down here. Mucky Duck mini-meet-up!!)

Also too, Naples is where drunk Karl got busted in his OpVec a few years ago when he was doing pretend hurricane relief. He had to live barefoot in a ditch or something something.

[Dr. Ken]

Lindell is such a sucker. And we thought Dennis really swindled Arpaio good. He's really moving up in the world when it comes to marks. I wonder how much he'll scam next and from whom. Didn't Arpaio also pay for Montgomery's house in Washington State?

[Chilidog]

You got to give some credit where credit is due....

For sheer chutzpah, Dennis Montgomery takes the cake.
