I'm sorry I had to show you this shithead's face... I really am.

Mike Gableman is the jackass who spent a million taxpayer dollars auditing Wisconsin’s 2020 election results for voter fraud… He was subsequently fired when he couldn’t find any.

WKOW

Speaking at a Republican dinner event in Appleton last week, newly-released audio captured Michael Gableman suggesting revolution was the 'only way to keep government honest.' Gableman delivered the remarks at a Constitution Day dinner held by the Outagamie County Republicans Sept. 9 in Appleton. Tim Michels and Eric Toney, the GOP candidates for governor and attorney general, respectively, were the featured guests alongside Gableman. Lauren Windsor, a liberal citizen journalist, recorded the video. A recording posted by her outlet, The Undercurrent, shows Gableman and conservative talk radio host 'Regular Joe' Giganti call out Windsor and invite her up to the stage. (snip) Gableman broached the subject of Americans being too comfortable to carry out a rightful revolution. This was in the context of Gableman repeating debunked claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election and decrying private funding Wisconsin clerks received to carry out that election.

Here’s just a portion of what he had to say...

"Our comfort is holding us back from taking the action that is necessary… The greatest challenge of our poor in this country is not lack of food, it's obesity. It's a beautiful world. But it's that very comfort that is keeping us from what our founders knew to be the only way to keep an honest government, which is revolution. Thomas Jefferson said that the tree of liberty must be watered by the blood of revolution in every generation. I don't think that's going to happen."

You can listen to his lamentations for a new revolution yourself...

I think the real problem here is that Gableman himself has been sucking at the government tit for far too long...

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman told a group of Republicans this month that a revolution against government officials over the 2020 election has become necessary but said people have become too comfortable to water the "tree of liberty" with blood. (snip) Gableman, who was hired to probe the 2020 election by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos in 2021, was fired earlier this summer after producing no evidence that called the result into question. (snip) Gableman has been paid by taxpayers for more than two decades to enforce laws. He was paid more than $100,000 and spent more than $1 million of taxpayer money during his election review. Republican candidates for governor and attorney general, Tim Michels and Eric Toney, and state Supreme Court candidate Dan Kelly, also spoke at the event, according to the group's social media posts.

Don’t fret, Gableman wasn’t out of work for long...

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Days after being fired by Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman is now working for a conservative law firm that assisted his now-discontinued taxpayer-funded review of the 2020 election. Gableman listed his occupation as senior counsel at The Thomas More Society in a presentation he delivered over the weekend at a conference hosted by MyPillow executive Mike Lindell that focused on election conspiracies. The new position is being promoted days after Vos terminated Gableman's contract overseeing the Assembly's election review after Gableman campaigned for Vos' primary opponent Adam Steen, who came within 300 votes of defeating the legislative leader. The law firm subleased office space in Brookfield from Gableman while he was conducting the election review. Gableman planned to have the firm take over the lease when his review was complete. (snip) Gableman and a spokesman for The Thomas More Society, which is not affiliated with the St. Thomas More Lawyers Society of Wisconsin, did not respond to questions about Gableman's employment. A spokeswoman for Vos directed questions to the law firm.

In a plot twist, Gableman has now turned his energies towards defending voter fraud….

The former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who led a fruitless 14-month investigation into the state's 2020 election results appeared in court Monday to represent a man accused of fraudulently requesting absentee ballots. Michael Gableman said he was temporarily representing Harry Wait in a preliminary hearing in Racine County, the Racine Journal Times reported. Wait has been charged with election fraud and identity theft for requesting the ballots of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, Racine Mayor Cory Mason and others. Wait has said he requested the ballots to prove that the state’s voter registration system, MyVote Wisconsin, is vulnerable to fraud. Vos, who hired Gableman last year to investigate the 2020 election, fired him in August soon after Gableman endorsed Vos' primary opponent. Gableman's investigation found no evidence of fraud and cost taxpayers more than $1 million.

I told y’all about Harry Wait’s crimes earlier this Summer...

WISN

Harry Wait is facing several charges after admitting to requesting absentee ballots on other voters' names, including Vos and Racine Mayor Cory Mason. Gableman, who is now an attorney at the Thomas More Society, said he has not received clearance yet to represent Wait throughout the case but he will at least assist in helping to find him counsel. "I want to make sure all of his legal rights are safeguarded," Gableman told WISN 12 News' Matt Smith after the hearing. "And whether that's me or another lawyer, I think it's very wise for him to decide to seek counsel." The judge granted Gableman's request to delay Wait's preliminary hearing.

Wait’s next hearing is October 7th…
