It's a two birds, one stone situation.
-
Arizona Audit subpoena for the password is lapsed, which sets the stage.
-
White hats take time to put together all the info they have and create an imaginary plant in Dominion. It's very convincing that it comes from a whistleblower.
-
White Hats hand the info off to CodeMonkeyZ to ensure the news gets out quickly to avoid bureaucrats holding it up.
-
Dominion burns down their house to find the mole. Company heads start stabbing each other in the back and more whistleblowers come forward or start getting offed due to paranoia.
-
Arizona Auditors get the passwords, Dominion is proven by the whistleblower to have run the elections using a remote boot network, and the Supervisors can't claim the Auditors are the source of misinformation because the story has already broken ahead of time.
-
The Supervisors can only claim is that the whistleblower is fake. When the Auditors come in and prove otherwise, using the legit leaked passwords to get in to the systems, the jig is up. They cannot account for why a fake whistleblower has access to passwords that no one, not even the Judge, could get access to.
.
By the whistleblower coming in left-field and serving up the passwords, Dominion and the Supervisors are put in a position where they cannot dismiss the Auditor's findings. If the password works, then we know the whistleblower's data is real. If the whistleblower's data matches the Auditors, who had no contact with the whistleblower at all, then we know 100% they rigged the election. Two proofs lead to the same conclusion while operating in a vacuum.
Which leads to the two geese being fully cooked.
Either that's one hell of a stone toss, or the White Hats are behind it.
Thoughts?
Yup.
Considering the timing, and the thoroughness of the whistleblower's efforts to document everything, this seems too good for it not to be planned.
Why not come forward earlier? Why wait until after the auditors don't get the passwords? Why take it to an internet meme-thread mod as opposed to literally anyone else?
All questions with seriously nebulous answers.
As CodeMonkey asked: In all these months, why has a high-level Dominion sysadmin whistleblower never taken a step forward?
Then he answered the question: Today we learn the importance of timing and optics.
