Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman is featured in a Sept. 20 video on a new Rumble account for the Wisconsin Office of Special Counsel. He describes the investigation he is undertaking, one of multiple ongoing election integrity efforts in Wisconsin.
Gableman was appointed to head the investigation by Republican Speaker of the State Assembly Robin Vos in June. As head of a team of retired law enforcement officers, Gableman was later given expanded authority to subpoena witnesses and hire full-time investigators as Special Counsel after he attended Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium and after Vos joined President Trump on his private plane.
After discussing the varying definitions that have been used for different implementations of election audits, Justice Gableman implied that the investigation he is conducting could include some forensic components:
“Now, it’s important to note that the term ‘forensic audit’ is a confusing one, and it’s confusing because it has no commonly accepted definition. Rather, the definition of each forensic audit is created by those who control that audit. The office of Special Counsel is conducting a full investigation in order to get to the truth of what happened in our 2020 election, and that full investigation may include a vigorous and comprehensive audit if the facts that are discovered justifies such a course of action.”
This comes after an Aug. 25 statement released by Speaker Vos along with Assembly Republicans that said:
“We believe a cyber-forensic audit is necessary to ensure issues did not happen in 2020. We have allocated additional resources to Justice Gableman to ensure this investigation gets to the truth.”
Justice Gableman claims impartiality and uncorrupted incentives:
“[The investigation] will be guided by a search for the truth, and not by political priorities or political timetables. This investigation will test information we receive against other evidence, and it would be foolish to prejudge evidence by prejudice against individuals. In other words, this investigation will be guided by facts, not personalities. The purpose of the investigation is truth, and not expedience.”
There has been skepticism as to whether Speaker Vos and Justice Gableman can be trusted to find the truth about the 2020 General election in Wisconsin or whether the appointment and secret investigation are just whitewash, aiming to quell populist sentiment while avoiding any real accountability. As Rumble user ChineseSniffles put it in a comment on Justice Gableman’s new video:…
