The Failed Audit by Cyber Ninjas and Its Implications

The recent reports from The AP indicate that Cyber Ninjas, the company hired by Trump supporters to 'audit' the 2020 Arizona election count, has ceased operations. This development has reignited debates over Trump's allegations of election fraud and the true nature of his administration's methods.

Was Cyber Ninjas a New Company?

The investigation reveals that Cyber Ninjas was another Trump-associated venture, much like the many businesses and organizations that sprang up during his administration. Questions arise about whether this company was, indeed, a new entity or if it was secretly funded by the Republican National Committee (RNC) with the ulterior motive of covering their tracks. Additionally, there are speculations about the company's purposeful bankruptcy, as seen in the Trump White House, to avoid accountability and destroy evidence.

Complications and Incompetence

While many consider this development unsurprising, others have expressed shock at the lack of due diligence the company showed, such as failing to retain records of their audit activities. The CEO of Cyber Ninjas, whose incompetence has been highlighted, would perhaps be better suited for less critical roles, if he held any. The lack of professional experience and background in election fraud is a significant red flag, suggesting that Trump often relies on individuals with questionable credentials and dubious intentions.

Fraudulent Audit and Corporate Rebirth

Speculations abound about whether Cyber Ninjas will simply reconstitute under a new name or if they will attempt to operate covertly. It's not uncommon for such companies to use shell corporations to sidestep accountability. History provides a recent example: Cambridge Analytica, a firm that played a controversial role in the 2016 US presidential election, re-emerged under a different name after facing intense scrutiny, much like what is anticipated with Cyber Ninjas.

Media and Accountability

One significant concern is how the media, which initially promoted and took Cyber Ninjas seriously, will handle the re-emergence of the company. It’s anticipated that news outlets will promote and endorse the new version without investigating its origins, mirroring the pattern seen with Cambridge Analytica. This lack of scrutiny raises questions about the media's commitment to transparency and accountability.

The failure of Cyber Ninjas to 'audit' the Arizona election, combined with the lack of due diligence and evidence retention, underscores the deep-rooted issues of election fraud and the corruption within Trump's administration. These events highlight the need for stringent regulations and oversight to prevent such deceptive practices from undermining the democratic process.
