I really like all the links you put into your Twitter feed on the trial, Luke, they really help give context to all the loonies that are testifying. This trial was a wild ride.

She says that "I am not being allowed to put on a defense". I agree that the judge did everything he could to prevent this from becoming a complete politicized shit show.
I am way behind today, just now listening to the prosecution closing.p0rtia wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 2:00 pm Too the surprise of no one in the court room, except for the jury, Case says about Conan Hayes, "Who was he? Maybe he was a CIA agent?"
Exasperated objection. Judge Barrett says he will not comment--now.
This, of course, makes a mockery of the battle that went on, and the hours of argument, that went on pre-trial and during trial to make it clear as crystal that the defense was not to bring up the fact* that Tina thought that Hayes was a gov't informant.
Of course, Case was just asking questions....
He won't be sanctioned, but he damn well should be.
Also, the profile name is not unique, but the username must be unique. So, only one user with the username of "Trebuchet' but there could be many people with Profilename = 'Trebuchet'.Yes, in the Signal app, you can choose to share your profile name or username with people you want to connect with:
Profile name
Your profile name is displayed in chats alongside your phone number, depending on your settings. It can include a name, picture, and about section. You can set or edit a custom nickname and note for each contact, which are end-to-end encrypted and protected by your Signal PIN. You can also change how others see your name in their chat view.
Username
Your username is optional and is not displayed in your profile details or in chats with other people. It's a quick way to connect with others without sharing your phone number, and it prevents others from finding you by searching for your phone number. To create a username, go to Settings > Profile and type in a unique name that ends with at least two numbers. You can change or delete your username at any time. If you share your username or QR code with someone, they can see it, but if you start a chat using someone else's username, they won't see yours unless they accept your message request and share their profile name with you.
Yes, exactly. There is a Signal thread that includes someone using 'Trebuchet'. He claims it wasn't him, and Sharronna says it was him. Judging by demeanor I thought it more likely that he was telling the truth than her. And then I started wondering if it was possible that someone else could use the name Trebuchet where it wasn't Wood. And it turns out that yes, someone can set up Trebuchet as their profile name and then set their app to display their profile name instead of displaying their username.Rolodex wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 3:46 pm Wow RV I didn't pick up on that at all. I was confused about Wood from the time he testified. He was definitely teamdenier, and was fine with poking around in the server to find "evidence" of Dominion shenanigans. But then it looked like his friends underbussed him by saying yes he knew his credentials were being used by someone else. He said on the stand he didn't know.
I don't remember that exact signal thread. I do remember the prosecution asking if there could be more than one person on signal called Trebuchet; I guess this is why. I thought the conspiracy thread was Peters, Olsen, Hayes, Bishop, as in the slide Drake showed in the prosecution rebuttal.
Is the thread with Trebuchet the one he said he didn't recognize - that might have been faked up by the defense? I was a bit confused by several people who said they'd never seen a thread before when shown by the defense (and they were on that thread, supposedly).
ETA: For any number of reasons I believe Wood over Bishop. I remember him testifying about how surprised and upset he was when he was at the cyper symposium and heard that LE had "raided" his home via a warrant. He thought it was the SoS coming after him for working with the denier crowd/right wingers, targeting "enemies" of the deep state.Rolodex wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 4:33 pm Great explanation! I couldn't remember the topic of that signal thread (the one were the defense says trebuchet is in it but no one recognized that conversation except Bishop). I hope someone in the jury knows a little about Signal and they come to the same conclusion as we have. That Trebuchet's knowledge/approval of the hijacking his key card is the only topic of that thread makes it highly suspect.
Was there ever mention of a device from which this convo was supposedly pulled? Was the prosecution ever able to grab this thread off a device themselves? Or was this only ever printed out computer sheets and presented by the defense? As a juror I'd want to know that.
Yes, there was testimony from the prosecution expert that none of the phones that were collected, which included Wood's phone, had that conversion on it. None of them.Rolodex wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 4:33 pm![]()

Yes. They got it about 1pm mountain time. They had not had lunch yet, so they may start deliberating while waiting for a lunch to be delivered. They judge told them they could work as long as they wanted. Apparently there's one jury that has to "leave tomorrow." I'm not sure if that means that person can work all day tomorrow will not be available after today. There are 2 alternates left (one had to go in today bc another person was out sick). If you have to put in an alternate after deliberations start, you're supposed to start over again. I bet they work hard to get it done before the person has to leave; they will know that schedule and hopefully they know they have to start over if they get another alternate. I'd be so ready to be done after all this.

Me too--even beyond my desire for him to be telling the truth. Bishop wriggled on the stand and played the "I don't recall" card from the bottom of the deck whenever needed. Her favorite dodge was to say "That's above my head". She meant "above my pay grade," but either way she used the expression incorrectly, because she was not in fact working for the the Colorado SoS office or the board of elections. Too also, she spouted endless stolen election crap. Whereas Wood has realized that the Lindell crowd is a pack of liars, whom he openly despises.Rolodex wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 4:41 pm
