[call w djt and rudy?]

give you the evidence that you were looking for, and he said he would. 2 Did Mr. Giuliani give you the evidence that you were asking for in that 3 conversation? 4 Not then and not a week later, not 2 weeks later, not now. Never. 5 A Q Okay. The other thing I want to follow up on, I thought you said that there 6 were two components to the ask and one of them you've just described, which is that 7 there be an official committee meeting by a standing committee. What was the other 8 component of the ask by Mr. Giuliani? 9 A And then he said in this flowing of the conversation said: We understand 10 from someone -- and I remember the phrase "high up in Republican circles" in the 11 legislature who said that Arizona law allows for you to call for the dismissal of the Biden 12 electors and the replacement of those electors by a new slate of electors for President 13 Trump if there was sufficient cause. 14 And the flavor of the discussion was that the committee meeting would prove 15 sufficient cause to allow us then to move to number two, which would be the dismissal or 16 the questioning of the electors that had already been elected. I mean, the vote had 17 already been taken by the people, you know, 2 and a half weeks earlier. 18 Q I'm sorry. Speaker Bowers, did Mr. Giuliani identify this high up person in 19 the Republican circles in the legislature? 20 A He did not. I said: I would very much like to know who that is. 21 And he declined. 22 23 24 25 Q A Q A So you were the leading Republican in the House as speaker, I assume? I presumed I was. And Ms. Fannwas the leading Republican in the Senate? Yes.

...Speaker Bowers, the meeting, the legislative committee meeting, that Mr.  Giuliani asked you to convene during that first call with President Trump and Mr. Giuliani, 21 is this gathering at the hotel, did that qualify as an official committee meeting of the 22 Arizona legislature? 

 A Absolutely not. Why not? Because there was senators, representatives, and I think there was even 1 couple of nonelecteds that were in the room and participating. It was a weird -- it was 2 just a gathering of people, you know. They were kind of electeds. I'm looking at Mr. Pappas. I don't have a breakdown of everybody who was on that committee there at the hotel, but I do remember there was some -- a couple of senators, Peterson was a 5 senator-elect and Townsend was a senator-elect, Finchem was there. 6 7 Q A Understood. Mr. Cook was there, I believe. Mrs. Griffin, I believe, was there. Others 8 were there. Both in the room and at the dais. 26 9 Q Understood. Thank you. So it's fair to say that Mr. Giuliani did not get his first ask that he raised on that phone call with you of official committee meeting, but 11 rather just participated in this unofficial gathering at the hotel ballroom? 12 A He did. He did participate in that gathering, but that is not -- I don't know  what he thinks. I never asked him whether he thought it was official, but it certainly  wasn't official. 

...

That kind of thing, you know. I thought somebody's trying to sell me a used car. Q That they didn't even have on the lot? A They certainly didn't have any proof. When he came, he said he would 4 bring the proof. He didn't bring the proof, but he did bring COVID. That's about the 5 only thing that's lasted in Arizona. I've never seen any proof. 6 Q Do you recall any specific allegations? I know there was no proof, but do 7 you recall specific allegations that were made --  A Oh, yes. Q -- at this meeting? A Again, I don't remember -- like if he said 6,000 dead people or 60,000 dead 11 people or a huge number of illegal aliens and I mean large. I think one time he said that  you have 5 million illegal aliens in this State and Senator Fann said: Rudy, we've only got 13 7 million people in the State. Are you telling me that 5 million of them are illegal aliens? 14

And it was not -- it was not a little Sunday school class meeting. It was a very -- it 15 was a very tough meeting. 16 17 18 19 20 Q And I think you've referenced -- A I'm sorry. Q Go ahead, Speaker Bowers. A I was done. Q I think you said earlier that, in response to Mr. Schiff's questions, that Mr. 21 Giuliani took note of the fact that the -- that it was somewhat of a tense and he called 22 hostile meeting. 23 A At least twice, if not more, but at least twice and specifically would say: 24 Man, I thought we were all Republicans. This is -- this is -- this is a little more hostile a 25 reception. I'm amazed at the reception I'm getting here

...

Was there an ask at this meeting? And, just to be clear, was the meeting 2 on December 1st? 3 A Yes. The Monday -- let's see. It was on December 1st. It was -- it was 4 that -- the Hyatt Regency meeting. I don't believe that was on a Sunday. So I'm not 5 looking at a calendar. I just have notes. November 30th was the unofficial meeting at  the Regency, was the day that Governor Ducey and Brnovich canvassed the elections, and it was on the 1st that we met with Mr. Giuliani's team. 8 Q Okay. That's consistent with my understanding as well. I just wanted to 9 make sure that we can use a shorthand for that meeting. So, at this December 1st 10 meeting, was there an ask by Mr. Giuliani? 

A Well, the general ask was that we would give them a committee hearing. Same thing that came up in the call on November 22nd? Yes. Yes. That was -- I don't think he asked -- I don't recall him asking in 14 that meeting that we recall the electors. I don't recall, but, Andrew, do you have any 15 recollection of that? And I know you're not asking the questions here, but at that point, 16 I do remember he asked for the committee. 17 Q 18 correct? 19 20 A Q So the same ask -- that was part of the ask on the November 22nd call, Yes. And you told him that was a nonstarter. It wasn't going to happen because 21 you didn't have a super majority that would agree to call the House back in session? 22 A And I wasn't going to do anything on the second ask until I had legal counsel 23 discuss it, and I needed him to talk to them, which he had not done, which was part of the  reason when I walked in that room I wasn't in a great mood anyway because he didn't  fulfill any of the things that he said he would do

...

Mr. Bowers. Yes, that is correct. I'm sorry. Five million were in the State. 4 believe they said it was in the hundreds of thousands of illegal votes cast by aliens, not 5 illegal votes by military personnel or people who weredead or other -- but by 6 alien --alien presence in the State. 7 Mr. Schiff. And did they ever provide any proof of that? 8 Mr. Bowers. No. I did say, I said: Do you have names? I mean, do you have 9 the names of the illegal aliens in our State? 10 Yes. 11 And then: Have you cross-referenced those so that you know who voted? 12 mean, do you have the names of the illegal aliens? Because their signature is on the 13 outside of the ballot envelope. Did you cross it? 14 15 16

Oh, yeah. It was that kind of thing: Yeah, we've got it. And the dead people, you know, who they were? And did -- you have their 17 envelopes? I mean, you have the names? Because we can pull on that envelope. 18 They don't hold it together, but they're available. 19 Oh, yeah, we've got it. 20 21 22 23 I said: But don't you think you ought to give that to me? I want to see it. And, again, I got -- I was just, this is just a -- this is not going to be productive. Mr. Schiff. And, Mr. Speaker, are you still waiting to this day to see that proof? Mr. Bowers.

I was promised proof by Boris Epshteyn, what, 3 months ago-ish. 24 I'll say that. In the milieu of the legislative timeframe I'd probably get mixed up. But 25 he called on a Saturday and took some period of time. And I kept saying: You guys 34 1 have told me for a year and a half I'm going to get the proof. Where is it? 2 And he said: I'll call Finchem. He'll get it to you. 3 And they brought me a document, a couple of --3 days later, a pile of documents, 4 about 3 quarters of an inch thick. It had a term paper of Mr. Finchem. It had 5 Mr. Eastman's -- a couple of papers from him, Mr. Mendelson (ph) something. It had a 6 transcript from a committee meeting where Mr. Biggshad spoken and a bunch of transfer  sheets from the counting center that were supposedly of some importance, 100 of them 8 to be, I think -- I think that's exactly. There was 100. 

And I took those to the counting center, and I said: Tell me what this is. And they said: That's transfer sheets. I said: What does that mean? She goes: I don't have the faintest idea. So that was it. That was the proof. Mr. Schiff. And, Mr. Speaker, one last question before I turn it back. In leaving 15 the meeting with Giuliani and the State senators, what did you say when you'd enough 16 and it was time for you to leave? 17 18 Mr. Bowers. I said: That's -- that -- I'm done. I've got to go. And I stood up, and they all, you know, kind of stood up and kind of started 19 breaking things up. You can feel in a meeting when, you know, we're just running in 20 circles. And I had lots to do, so I stood up and said: I'm out. 21 I did shake hands with the former police commissioner of New York on the way 22 out and mentioned: Hey, wasn't Teddy Roosevelt your predecessor? 23 And he said: Yeah, in fact, he was. 24 25 I said: Well, good to meet you. See you later. Mr. Schiff. Okay. Mr. Speaker, I'll hand it back to my colleagues.

... rudyjenna] where a President's electors could be replaced. And then she opined, you know. She 2 gave her opinions on the subject. 3 One thing was, because we -- I had pushed for evidence: Have you got the 4 evidence? 5 I remember, I don't know if it was just an off-the-cuff comment or what, but 6 he -- Mr. Giuliani said something like: We have -- we don't have the evidence, but we 7 have lots of theories. 8 And I -- in retrospect, I think, at least he said that right, you know. But it was -- it 9 was something that he had said that we later, we all looked at each other and said: Did 10 he really say that? 11 Yes, he did. 12 So it was an illuminative moment, which he went on at length. 13 And I seem -- you know, as I think of it now, that's one of the things that Lynch 14 really went after was the idea of throwing out the election and -- I'm sorry, not Lynch, 15 Leach, Mr. Leach, Senator Leach, that he really went after that point. That was an 16 exercised point.

...

On January 4th, you had a call with Mr. Eastman? A I do remember speaking with Mr. Eastman. I'm not -- let me -- yes, I see it 18 in my notes. Yes, that meeting did occur. 19 Q How did that call come about? 20 A We had been pressed by Mr. Finchem and others for me to talk to 21 Mr. Eastman, Mr. Mendelson (ph) to -- in the hopes of convincing me of the 22 constitutional quality of taking an action about having a committee meeting or 23 doing -- now, it was shifted more to -- let's see -- yes, more to the electors, and that there 24 was this, you know, high-level legal minds and decisions on this, not court decisions, but 25 legal decisions, you know, thoughts, papers, and that I should talk to John Eastman, one 44 1 of the highest constitutional lawyers in the country.

And so I said, sure. I shouldn't say 2 I said sure. That sounds flippant. I acquiesced. I said: I would like to know if there 3 is any evidence that anybody has and if there's any legal precedence or thoughts on the 4 issue. 5 And that -- and so Mr. Eastman -- I don't know John Eastman, but I was told Mr. Pappas knew Mr. Eastman from sometime back in California when he was a candidate for attorney general, knew him from other associations. And he talked to me 8 about the man, and that he was, you know, he had a reputation, and that it would be 9 good at least to hear it. I mean, he would -- nobody was a cheerleader for the 10 conversation, but -- I mean, on my staff. There were cheerleaders but not from my 11 staff. And so we took that call. 12 13 14 Q A Q Can you describe the phone call for us? It was lengthy. And -- Well, how about a very high-level summary of what was covered in the call 15 with Mr. Eastman on January 4th. 16 A Well, one of the things was about what the plenary power of authority of the 17 legislature would be and where we would secure that. We talked about the -- the only 18 other kind of a close decision in the area of Article II was the Hawaii case with President 19 Nixon and Mr. -- and President Kennedy and how those two competing groups ended up 20 being a factor. 21 And -- but the -- but the principle that I -- we -- I talked about was that, as it was 22 explained, I said, but the issue wasn't whether or not there was fraud; the issue was -- is 23 that -- well, there might have been. Who knows. The issue was that you had a 24 recount, a mandatory recount because the vote was within the margin of error, or it was 25 within the margin of Hawaiian law, and so they had a recount. And, in the recount, t

...

Was there some alternative that he offered or suggested? 2 Q A And then the second was, if investigations -- I'm reading from the note: If 3 investigations are ongoing and the legislature can't yet determine whether illegal votes affected the outcome of the election, then at least get a resolution that decertifies the 5 existing slate. 6 So both -- both one and two focused on a justification of sorts to decertify. And 7 then, if that wasn't enough, that at least -- we -- Mr. Finchem had passed around a letter, which I vociferously and strongly asked my colleagues, please, get off the letter campaign where everybody has to -- is being asked to sign on whatever it might be to asking  this -- the counties to do that, sending a letter to Congress. This just divides us and 11 hurts -- it's going to be used in campaigns that you didn't do this and you didn't do that 12 and why didn't you stand up -- so that -- here we came again that I would -- I was being 13 asked by Eastman to sign a letter from Mr. Finchem that he had circulatedasking Mr. Pence to not certify the election and to do that before the 6th of January. That was 15 the third ask. If you can't decertify them or are not willing to decertify them, blah, blah, 16 blah, at least be willing to sign on to ask Pence not to certify until sufficient information 17 can be obtained in the lack of evidence, you know, at least hold it off, it's too quick type 18 of thing. 19 B 20 Q Thank you, Speaker Bowers. And did you respond to Mr. Eastman's 21 suggestions of these possible courses of action for you in a similar manner as you did 22 when similar suggestions were made by Mr. Giuliani, including on that first phone call 23 with President Trump? 24 A Yes. Again, we went through my oath and that I wasn't going to 25 experiment with my oath, that I -- that mentality. I wasn't going to play with the oath

Arizona GOP lawmakers hold meeting on election outcome with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani

Ryan Randazzo

Maria Polletta

Arizona Republic

President Trump's personal lawyer spent many hours with a handful of Republican Arizona lawmakers at a downtown Phoenix hotel Monday discussing concerns with the 2020 election. Across town, as the meeting wore on, state officials officially certified the results showing the president lost.

Rudy Giuliani and state lawmakers billed the meeting as a "hearing," but it was not an official legislative event.

Outside the Hyatt Regency, several hundred Trump supporters filled Second Street between Adams and Monroe, where they waved flags, chanted, sold hats and other Trump merchandise, and showed their support for the president.

Downtown Phoenix was otherwise eerily quiet, as it has been for most of the pandemic.

Large screens set up outside the Hyatt lobby broadcast the hearing taking place inside, which some people watched. Others stood on a painter's ladder and used a microphone and gave rallying presentations, alleging fraud in the election, human trafficking cover-ups by Democrats, and denouncing the McCain family. Several carried firearms. Few wore masks.

Inside the hotel ballroom, Republican lawmakers Mark Finchem, Bret Roberts, Nancy Barto, Leo Biasiucci, David Cook, Kelly Townsend, David Gowan, Sonny Borrelli and Sylvia Allen listened to "witnesses" — who were not placed under oath — as they explained why they thought Arizona's election results were possibly compromised.

They listened to theories on how elections can be infiltrated.

Neither the Republican speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives nor president of the state Senate authorized the meeting. Republican congressmen Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs attended, sitting behind Giuliani.......

...In the email, Waldron :{falsely said:(style="box-sizing:inherit;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}:that “scanned images are public records” in Arizona and that his team should “need no authoritative release requests” to access them. Waldron also suggested that his “local consultant and advisor” Lyle Rapacki, a :{conservative activist:(style="box-sizing:inherit;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: who has claimed that :{“demonic”:(style="box-sizing:inherit;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}: forces led to Joe Biden’s win and who was also copied on the email, could travel to Maricopa County to load images of the scanned ballots onto a hard drive for inspection.

Less than a week after receiving this email, Farnsworth joined Fann in issuing a subpoena demanding that Maricopa County turn over all of its ballots, voting machines, and other records so that the Senate could conduct an “audit.”

Among the records obtained by American Oversight were communications between Arizona Sen.:{**Kelly Townsend**:(style="box-sizing:inherit;transition-duration:0.2s;transition-property:background-color, border-color, box-shadow, color, opacity, text-shadow, transform;transition-timing-function:linear"):}:and Michael Bowman, president of ALEC Action, the advocacy arm of the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council.

Bowman responded that Townsend should talk with ALEC’s “Process Working Group,” which was meeting in San Diego the following month.

Last week, the Arizona Court of Appeals rejected the state Senate’s broad use of legislative privilege to withhold records from the “audit” from public release in American Oversight’s lawsuit. And on Thursday, Cyber Ninjas and its CEO Doug Logan are scheduled to sit for a deposition regarding the firm’s failure to turn over public records to the Senate.

Part of Investigation:


az daily

Just a few years after questions were raised about the professional background of a frequent associate of several Arizona lawmakers, a former legislator says he is “utterly dismayed” to hear Lyle Rapacki has the ear of some current legislators and supposedly even the Trump legal team.

“He talks a good talk and presents himself as a big player,” the former legislator said, adding that Rapacki often prefaces comments with “according to my intel people” and comes off as being in the know. “He is a guy who really wants to promote himself as an authority, but it could prove disastrous if legislative decisions are made based on his advice. It is frightening.”

Rapacki co-owns Sentinel Intelligence Services, PLLC and has described himself as a “private-sector intelligence and threat assessment specialist” who has briefed and consulted with members of the Arizona Legislature since 2010. He is also listed as theDirector of Governmental and Political Affairs for the Prescott eNews operated by Specialized Publishing, Inc., which is wholly owned by former state Rep. David Stringer.

But Rapacki’s recent public access to Senate Majority Whip Sonny Borrelli (R-LD5) and Rep. Mark Finchem (R-LD11) has come under scrutiny after identifying himself as the coordinator of the Nov. 30 joint public legislative event at a Phoenix hotel attended by Trump campaign legal advisor Rudy Giuliani. He also claims to have recently “worked with the Giuliani team and the White House and other assorted teams” in connection to election fraud issues.

In a video posted Jan. 5, Rapacki said he was “fortunate and privileged to be working with the Giuliani team the last six weeks,” providing “consultations and related matters.”  He also said he attended a 90-minute White House briefing days before the Jan. 6 Joint Session of Congress during which President Donald Trump expressed “very blunt” comments to the attendees.

Further, Rapacki commented in the same video to having intel that China and “other nations” were involved in compromising the 2020 General Election, evidence of which would be made public during future Congressional testimony.

Then in mid-January, Rapacki posted a video of his interview with Borrelli, the Senate Whip, in an Arizona Today podcast for Prescott eNews. During the podcast, Rapacki noted his efforts have been supported by Borelli, who he has known “for close to 10 years.”

Rapacki also said he “was privileged to present some information” leading up to State Senate subpoenas being issued to Maricopa County in connection to an election audit.However, his comments do not make it clear to whom he presented the information or what the nature of the information was.

In 2017, Rapacki came under fire after questions were raised in an Arizona Daily Independent article about his claimed connections to the intelligence community. The article pointed out Rapacki had lost his access to the state Capitol, a statement Rapacki did not challenge.

Last year, the Phoenix New Times reported Rapacki represented himself in a 2019 email to a University of Arizona lobbyist as the “Legislative Director” of the Arizona Association of Threat Assessment Professionals and had a close working relationship with Finchem on legislative matters.

Rapacki, who often refers to himself as Dr. Rapacki, has a Doctorate earned in 1998 for the treatment of psychological disorders via alternative medicine from the non-accredited Clayton College of Natural Medicine in Alabama. The college, which was defunct by 2010, has been decried as adiploma mill and purportedly did not offer its students clinical training in their subject matter.

The questions circulating around Rapacki are similar to the concerns being raised about the relationship between lawmakers from Arizona and Stop the Steal organizer Ali Alexander, who federal officials are seeking in connection to his admitted planning of “The Wild Rally,” one of several planned Jan. 6 rallies prior to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Alexander has publicly claimed to have “schemed up” something with three Congressmen, including Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar, in an effort to reject the Electoral College votes of several states. However, questions about Alexander’s background and conduct have come under scrutiny.
