Mata Hari Kari

(1.5-minute read.)

NOTICE

            Before posting this, I decided that it’s just best for readers to insert the word allegedly whenever or wherever they think it’s necessary.

Blackmailers and Bribers

            Turns out that allegedly Arizona MAGA Mata Hari[1] Kari Lake is recording private conversations and then using them to allegedly blackmail alleged opposition.[2]  Allegedly Lake maintains that it’s allegedly reprehensible to use the alleged recordings.  Allegedly undeterred she allegedly uses them because she’s on the distribution list.  (See the problem?  That’s why the notice.)

Arizona Republican Party Chair Jeff DeWit resigned after MAGA Kari released a recording of him trying to bribe her to not run in Arizona.[3]  Evidently, DeWit thought they were friends.  That’s both sad and funny at the same time.  Anyway, DeWit claims that Hari Kari Lake gave him the option of resigning or having more audio recordings of private conversations released. 

            Is it really blackmail though?  Is it “extortion or coercion by threats especially of public exposure or criminal prosecution.”[4]  It’s not like she released all the recordings.  And is getting DeWit to resign payment?  It’s a conundrum.

IDK but one thing for sure is that MAGA Kari has talked privately with a LOT of people including Dear Leader Donald Rapist Trump the current King of MAGA.  Ya gotta’ know there are a lot of people trying to remember now what they talked about with Mata Hari Kari. 

Trump cancelled his Arizona visit right after DeWit announced his resignation.[5]  Trump had a conflict with his scheduled rape trial testimony.  It could be that he’s just taking a pause for some deep personal reflection and/or is checking to see if he has anything compromising on Mata Hari Kari.

They can talk about concerns in private.
