I SEE A HALLMARK MOVIE IN THE MAKING:

ACCOUNTABILITY: The Unlikely Ensemble Leading Trump’s Hunt for 2020 Election Fraud: Senior officials are pursuing theories the Trump campaign had earlier dismissed.

In Atlanta, FBI agents have sifted through thousands of paper ballots confiscated from the main election office there. Federal officials have also seized voting machines in Puerto Rico, locking them in a basement of an intelligence campus in Bethesda, Md., at the behest of the office of Trump’s intelligence chief, Tulsi Gabbard, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter.

At the center of many of the efforts is Kurt Olsen, a campaign lawyer who was heavily involved in Trump’s failed “Stop the Steal” fight in 2020 and was tapped to lead the new push at the White House last fall. In recent weeks, Olsen has briefed Trump on a range of allegations, pushed the president to declassify a swath of documents, and asked for up to $10 million in funding to pursue his mandate, administration officials familiar with the efforts said. He has traveled to Florida to meet with Jason Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney in Miami.

The probes into alleged improprieties in the 2020 election range from foreign interference to duplicate, fraudulent and missing ballots in states Trump lost. Olsen spends much of his time at the Justice Department, according to administration officials, as prosecutors pursue criminal investigations on the topic in Atlanta, Phoenix and elsewhere, according to people familiar with the matter.

The biggest news here is that the WSJ is treating election fraud as a serious story, instead of just dismissing it out of hand.

IT’S ALL ONE BIG CON: Powerful human rights chief who led San Francisco defund the cops push has spectacular fall from grace. “A disgraced San Francisco human rights chief and her longtime beau have been arrested for allegedly grifting taxpayer funds for personal use through a city program intended to help the city’s black communities. Sheryl Davis, former heard of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission, and her nonprofit boss partner James Spingola were taken into custody Monday on suspicion of multiple felony counts of misappropriating public funds and conflicts of interest.”

WOKE WOMEN RUIN EVERYTHING: Heather Graham slams ‘awkward’ new reality of Hollywood sex scenes.

Graham, who starred in “Boogie Nights,” slammed the “confusing” new reality of filming sex scenes. She recalled a moment on set when she felt an intimacy coordinator overstepped.

“One time, I had an intimacy coordinator, and they started directing me on, like, how to have sex in a scene,” Graham remembered. “They were like, ‘When you do this, you can do this.’ And I was like, ‘You’re not the director, OK? I’m not asking for notes on how to have sex in the scene.’”

I guarantee you that these people are not experts on how to be sensual.
